      I am a music fan. My tastes are wide and varied depending on my mood. Not much on show tunes or musicals, though - unless you consider opera to be in that general category. Hamilton was fun, though. Still not music I would listen too again, though.

      • AA probably has to sometimes choose between The Best of Tiny Tim...or a medley of Weird Al Yankovich tunes...

          • I had never read that Bono opinion piece , that made my day. It is so awesome, thanks Hack. I'm still bummed out about Dolores O'Riordan passing, that brought a little cheer.

            • CNN poll that had the democrats up on the generic congressional ballot by 18 is now just up by 5 and tax cuts haven't kicked in yet

              As the midterm election year begins, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds the Democratic advantage on a generic congressional ballot has tightened to a narrow 5 points among registered voters, but those voters who say they are most enthusiastic about turning out to vote this fall favor Democrats by a wide 15-point margin.

                • AA,

                  I’ll go on the record as a B. Joel fan. The Stranger is an excellent album, and Scenes From An Italian Restaurant is a great example of storytelling in lyrics and music.

                  • I knew there was something not right in the head with SLF. The Lions-M-Trotsky Fanboy stuff should have tipped me off, but that all pales in comparison to loving Billy Joel. Next you'll tell me you prefer ketchup-based sugar-sweet barbecue sauce.

                    • You can craft your tomato-based sauce more on the piquant/savory side and less on the cloyingly sweet side.

                      For the record, I enjoy both tomato-based and vinegar sauces if done correctly. One thing I cannot abide is topping my barbecue with soggy cabbage that was drenched in mayonnaise - something very common with the vinegar-based devotees.

                      • Very nice article duly mocking and taking to task Europe's energy policy: http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...ean-union-coal

                        I would have never thought that burning wood is part of the renewable energy effort. Fascinating.

                            One doesn't need a pure vinegar-based sauced. However, whether mustard/tomato/otherwise-based, the vinegar:brown sugar ratio can't merely be 1:1 -- it must tilt to vinegar.

                            One thing I cannot abide is topping my barbecue with soggy cabbage that was drenched in mayonnaise - something very common with the vinegar-based devotees.
                            Correct. A proper barbecue slaw is definitely the southern version of small-chopped cabbage (as opposed to quasi-julienned) dressed in a vinegar-based sauce -- perhaps with a bit of dijon to give body to the emulsification. I like adding a bit of green onion and granny smith along with some red pepper flake. But, the point of the slaw ought to be palate-cleansing and refreshing; not palate-coating and heavy.

                            There are, perhaps, times for a mayo-dressed slaw. Maybe. But it's not certainly not with barbecue pork.

                              Damn it.
