Roger Waters and guests performing Comfortably Numb on July 21, 1990. The one night only performance of The Wall commemorated the fall of the Berlin Wall.
From the wiki:
The concert was staged entirely at Waters' expense, and while he subsequently earned the money back from the sale of the CD and video releases of the album, he has donated all profits past his initial investment to World War Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief.
Be sure to visit the wiki link to put names to all those faces in the video. This is Late Late Nite FireDogLake, where off topic is the topic ... so dive in.

Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this Wall…! 8-)
back in the day when we celebrated tearing down walls - before we were in the wall building business
Yes, indeed!
Temps in the 60’s and windows open. Have Postal Service going…
down to 50 and supposed to get down to the 30’s tonight. i just closed the last open window
Boo,
Son Jack reports snow in Denver. Sigh, I did buy a new lawnmower!
I hear you Suz I took Tucker for last duty run and filled the wood burner for the evening… I really thought I would be done using the wood burner by now…. but there is no global weather changes going on…. right this is the latest I have ever had to run it… May 1st WTF??
perfect title! That’s what I still feel like after having had my spine worked on this morning.
i betcha ct is just sitting back with a big ole grin on his face and knowing better than to say one word (laughing)
That’s like washing and waxing the car…! ;-)
how ya feeling tex?
Oh, where are my manners? Good evening dear friends. Hi Suzanne.
Oh, you bet!
What, me? Glorious weather, I needed to turn on a fan or two…! ;-)
I really think this thing worked. But I have some sedation still with me and am still swollen so it’s hard to tell.
Hey all! Between the low-key return of the Hawaiian monarchy and the obvious murder (and where’s the dang strike-thru button when I finally really need it?!) suicide of the DC Madam, it’s been quite a day or two!
no strike through button.. ya gotta type the html out longhand
Heh, ya caught the Iolani palace lock down, eh?
I can see it there in the toolbar, even though it still doesn’t work.
just like the spellcheck :(
testseems to work for me!Aloha CT! They seemed very restrained, I thought. Didja get a load of the hate-comments trail on the Advertiser website? Jeesh, can’t remember the last time I saw anybody go with “America, love it or leave it!”
Yay Betsy!
No strike-through button?
What is
this?[
ABCbutton}* Sigh. * It’s a Safari problem again, isn’t it?
head hanging in shame
Hi guys, I was too young and uptight to appreciate The Wall when it came out. I really love it now.
How come we keep trotting out Hagee to pick on? he’s just a donor…why don’t we go after McCain’s spiritual adviser, Rod Parsley? He thinks Islam should be wiped off the face of the earth…for starters.
The frickin’ rat website coding bastards, grrrr.
(Just kidding, Lurking Mod!)
Hey Neuro how are you doing this fine evening?
did ya digg it for Suz?
Hello Margot
Yay TexBetsy! Good outcomes on ya!
Here’s Kitv’s version…!
I missed the Hawaii story, sounds good! Are they seceding, too?
So sad about DC Madam. I was waiting to hear more details. I thought most women chose poison or OD drugs or car exhaust to do the deed. Sounds suspicious.
We don’t need no stinkin’ code!
StrikeoutSeems to work in Safari for me??
I ask ya.
Same here, nahant.Big night tomorrow…
I made the same point, earlier, hanging is not a preferred method by ya’ll feminine types…! ;-)
Fine, nahant. How are you?
I dugg Suzanne as soon as I came on. Saw you already had everything arranged.
I had to leave [Late Nite???} earlier because it was thundering, but I couldn’t stay away very long.
Aw crapHuh, now it’s working. Oh well, blew that visual joke.what’s tomorrow?
rare for a woman to hang herself… am trying to remember the statistics but most women don’t use methods that disfigure the face is all i’m remembering at the moment from the homicide investigation training.. and that info is from back in the early 90’s
Heh, admit it… the tbogg crowd seemed daunting…! ;-0
Has she been interviewed by others as well? anyone know? I’m curious, that’s all.
Thanks, CT. They’re going to the World Court, you know. Wonder just what they’re gonna ask for.
My son came over and the first thing he said was that she was murdered!! I agree these rethuglians will do anything to try and cover the shit up and she was naming some names with the threat for more… Maybe Dick was on the list…
Hi Chris! I’m having computer problems tonight. Every time I want to say something, browser locks up and says Script stopped or something. I have to do control, alt, delete and close firefox.
Repeat.
How are you?
right, that’s my fuzzy recollection of mystery writing books and watching detective shows up the ying yang.
I was thinking the same thing.
And Betsy - it’s a Hockey game in San Jose.
margot, are you running the latest ff version: 2.0.0.14
“Existential blogwarp” is my new favorite phrase.
Historically hanging was the feminine way to go. At least for the Greeks. Was it in the Odyssey that Penelope’s maids hung themselves? Mind is a bit fuzzy.
They’ve already been there once before, ‘95, IIRC, right after the Congressional ‘apology’ under Clinton…!
I don’t know. How do I find out?
I dunno, I just googled “deborah palfrey murdered killed” and found that one right quick.
Wotta world.
Good to hear that Neuro and I am doing just fine… Managed to get the garden rototilled and made it to the nursery for some plants. Lots of tomatoes and peppers… Can’t wait till we start getting some to pick…. If you plant veggies you have to try sungold tomatoes… they never make it into the house :>)
time warp
toolbar in ff, click on help and about and it will tell you the version number
Time to do a hard reboot Margot.. ya gotta clear the computer of it’s clutter!
Good job Suzanne!
One of my all time favorite tunes and most certainly bmy all time favorite state of being, Comfortably Numb.
Oh yeah, The DC Madame thing?
Suicide, suuuuuuuure it was.
Murderous fucking assclowns.
hey busted - feeling better?
Didn’t realize they’d gone to the World Court before. Evidently the office is right across the street from the palace. And they have quite the snazzy website.
Oh, sorry, I should explain. I heard all this mentioned on the radio and someone was skeptical of anything they heard/read on the Alex Jones web site. So I was curious if Palfrey mentioned this to anyone else.
Seems weird to do this while staying with your mother…
Some, my finger still hurts too, damn varmint.
By crikey, we are all lucky, aren’t we!
pollyanna still says she was saving ya busted
$4.00 / Gallon is Critical Price Point.
According to a study done earlier this year by industry authority Edmunds, the critical price point is the $4.00 / gallon point. It’s like the redline for fuel prices, and when gas prices reach that level, and stay there for a sustained amount of time, the market will see some changes.
Specifically, we’re likely to see:
* A 35% decrease in mid-size SUV purchases
* A 34% decrease in large SUV purchases
* A 26% decrease in large truck purchases
* The luxury car and luxury SUV segments would show decreased interest as well, but less so, perhaps 15%.This is because the target customer in for these segments can generally easily absorb an extra dollar or so per gallon of gas.
* Brands that are perceived to be fuel efficient would show increased sales, even if their cars are not necessarily fuel efficient in reality.
* A 502% increase in interest, if not actual purchases of, hybrid vehicles.
The key, of course, isn’t just reaching that price point. The market has to stay there for several weeks, even months, before there’s a significant change in buyer behavior. This is because we humans are a fairly adaptable lot, and we’ve already become accustomed to gas prices that hovered around $2.00, $2.50, and $3.00 / gallon.
http://www.blog.automotiveaddi.....y-a-hybrid
I went looking for an old story about how the big three car companies did market research around the time hurricane Katrina hit and found that a large number of people will buy hybrid cars when Gas reaches $5 a gallon.
Edmunds has a newer story well its the same story only the trigger point for people buying Hybrids is Gas at $4 a gallon.
So the dollar has dropped then by 20% according to their reckoning, I think its lower now with the recent Federal Reserve cut.
Dick’s only response to being on the list would be - so?
But then again he is into torture.
OK Suz, it’s the .14 you mentioned.
And thanks Nahant, I’ll do that tonight.
you are gonna like the story that goes next into the news box - tis all about this issue
Well, that page I linked to says it has a recording of her saying those words on the radio show. So at least that would tend support that she did say that. I didn’t listen myself, so more than that, I could not vouch for.
You bet I got every finger and limb crossed for them!!
I guess you know that I have the copyright on that…
Pass it on!
Man, I just knew the Bush energy plan would pay off in the end!
Yep.
Go Patty!
where are you located nahant?
Right now the State, that is Lingle, is appealing the HI Supreme Court ruling, saying the State can’t negotiate the disputed Hawaiian Homelands with foreign or private entities, to SCOTUS, I’m extremely concerned about it with all the conservative idealogues on the bench…! Screw ‘em once again…!
fingers and toes dood
Stats from NIMH
Males
Firearms - 57%
Suffocation - 23
Poisoning - 13
Females
Poisoning 38
Firearms 32
Suffocation 20
I guess suffocation would include both hanging and the CO2 option. I’m surprised at the firearm stat for women. This is from National Institute of Mental Health.
So strange and sad. Sorry for the morbid statistics.
Darth, Condi and Powell did decide exactly what could be done and when to torture terrorist the White House says they were reviewing and approving certain techniques… Darth thought he was finally DIRECTING!
I’ll go check now!
you will find large differences in location of wound in males and females. again, its the disfigurement thang - is why poisoning (intentional overdose) is so high in women
“May I see your copyright registration papers, please?“
I have to at least try to get some sleep,I slept until one this afternoon.
I wanted to drop in and say howdy.
Gnite y’all.
g’nite busted.
OK, thanks!
nite busted
Aloha, BK!
Huh. What’s there to negotiate, CT? And why would anybody except the USG be involved in any negotiations?
just published so if its not there, do a hard refresh of the page
Sleep well busted
didn’t you know it did… just not for the rest of us… his buddies are laughing all the way to the bank!
Exxon’s earnings rise on record oil prices
Quarterly results fall short of oil giant’s record at close of 2007
Gee they only made $10.9 Billion for the quarter and Wall street was dissapointed they didn’t make more. Gee aren’t you so sad for them :>(
Yeh, he always wanted to direct…
… BA-DA-BOOM! ThankyouladiesandgermsI’mhereallweek…
i am out too. feeling good but don’t need to push it with sleep deprivation.
Yeah, sad. Better keep the subsidies going, then. It would be, well, it would just be mean-spirited not to.
pain free sleep wishes that you remain comfortably numb, tex
The five-f lands are very much up for grabs and the State is disenfranchising OHA amongst others…!
Wouldn’t it be funny if Darth turns out to be a submissive.
I love my little VW Golf TDI more every day. Diesel is more expensive in the winter, but less expensive than gas in the summer, when they change the grade mixture. Even at $4.08 - which is what I’m paying - I’m getting over 500 miles for every $50.00 of fuel. A 10-cylinder navigator gets 500 miles for $500.00.
What Suz said, TexBetsy! Dream sweetly.
Aloha, Tex!
darth? nope, bet he outsources that to private contractors
we don’t want any class warfare, now do we?
Wow, CT.
