“Reading the comments of NYers and other haters on this post makes me more proud than ever of my home City Philly.
The Post's "Frillies" article was a laughable embarrassment to NY.
To the people on this thread trashing Philly that admit to never even visiting the city? By all means, stay away, PLEASE.
Philadelphia is the most liveable large city in America, hands down. Two hours from New York (an overpriced place to visit, and god knows why ANYBODY would LIVE in that sh*thole...the deli's and disco's maybe? WHATEVA!) 3 hours from DC, 90 minutes from the beaches, two hours from the mountains, lower taxes, lower prices, the most public park space of any major city, the most complete and connected public transportation of any major city, world class restaurants, museums, The Eagles (Who handed the Gint's their _sses yesterday), the defending world series champion Phillies(at 72 million dollars LESS than the Yankmes THIS SEASON ALONE!) Imagine, New Yorkers... a city with complete public transportaion, AND you can actually AFFORD to HAVE A CAR TOO!! Of course, being New Yorkers, you are in the absolute center of your universe and have no need to leave your roach infested one room apartments in rat infested buildings at $2,000 a month... so enjoy!”

“Proud of your crowd for hurling coins at Melky and Damon? Proud of your crowd for chanting, "have a taco, Melky?" (They do realize don't they, that tacos are not a main staple of Dominicans/that Melky is not Mexican?) Proud of your crowd for chanting ad nauseum...Yankees, Jeter, CC, (fill in the blank) "su hks?" Proud of that "young lady" sitting behind home plate last night, giving the single digit to Posada, telling him to "Shut up!" when he was calling out the ump on the strike zone? Well, your city is a fine city, you have a lot to be proud of, (never realized you suffered from such an inferiority complex, or why you should) but your crowd has not done your city proud.”

“There are at least 10 million guitarists that would tend to disagree with you there buddy (Neil included). You must be like the King in Amadeus complaining of "Too many notes" . I love Neil Young too, and in his own way, he is a great guitarist with a unique voice. So is Mark Knoffler, or David Gilmour, all examples of great guitarists who don't play fast. However to dismiss Jerry is to completely ignore the fact that no guitarist did more within his own genre as Jerry did. Jerry's playing was incredible, his fingering and speed was as unmatched as his phraseing. I can understand if you don't care for his tone (some don't), but to dismiss his playing as aweful simply exhibits YOUR absolute ignorance. You will be dead and gone and Jerry Garcia recordings will STILL be getting released and hitting Platinum.”

“10 million? Jerry isn't that popular with serious guitarists. The Dead as a group were great--they did their thing, it was their's alone, they concocted it out mutliple genres--creative genius of a kind. But Jerry sucked. Primitive playing, poor compositional skills in his playing. A high junk-to-good ratio in his playing. Reminds me of my early days when I'd need to solo forever to finally come up with a decent line to play. That's my view of Jerry's live jams. Keep noodling around--for a long time--with effect until hitting a good lcik.On studio albums Jerry is bascially o.k., but the jam-band versions he sucked at. I'm one of the few who likes their studio stuff better than the live stuff, it seems. They had some great songs and great musicians. Jerry was the leader, but as a guitarist, sorry.
As I said, I was taking my life in my hands. One thing I've learned is never criticize the Dead to a Deadhead in person. They are relentlessly loyal. Which is why I did it here rather than live in person with someone. There's no way to debate taste as a vibe.”

“Jerry was a rater ordinary acoustic -style flatpicker -cum electric guitarist.....he is not on the same level as a Marc Ribot -or a Jeff Beck -or even Jimmy Page- all of whom are far better than Allman- Clapton...and at least in terms of Jeff Beck superior BY FAR! technically to Hendrix-”

“Any time you see a direct marketing spot on television, it is an "unsold avail". This means, the direct marketing company gives the ads to the station to run whenever they have an onsold spot, and the station makes a bit on that sale, and a percentage of any sales generated by the airing. (If you pay attention, you will notice that the direct marketing spot has different phone numbers for each station they run on.) This is all much less than they can get for a direct ad buy. If Glenn beck continues to lose high profile advertisors like Mercedes and Infiniti, they will bump him. Make no mistake.”

“Gates, a private citizen with no authority or gun, got upset that an armed figure of authority accosted him in his own home and wouldn't leave long after Gates proved he lived there. He overreacted. Crowley got upset that the man wasn't deferential enough to a cop "just doing his job", and, realizing he couldn't arrest him inside his own house, goaded him outside and arrested him there. For "Being Tumultuous" ??!!??!! He overreacted too. The difference is, IT IS HIS JOB TO HANDLE SITUATIONS LIKE THIS WITHOUT OVERREACTING!
