Now I remember after sawing the Hall of Fames clip.
Lets Have a Party was my sisters favorite song by Wanda among others.

I also saw that Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin was in the audience.
That was what I listened to and enjoyed at that time.

Good speech by Roseanne Cash:)

Yes, I very much love Roseanne.
I have posted her tribute for her father here many times.
But in case you missed it, here it is again.
Very touching tribute by a beautiful woman for her father, Johhny.
Be prepared to shed a few tears. She did.

Almost lost it, she did. But she turned her back to the mike, bucked it up and went on. You have to respect that.

And back to Wanda....couple of thoughts...
First, here is her actual performance at her induction.
Her first hit.

And second, I wonder. I have not researched this.....
Was it coincidental, or was Neil Young paying tribute to her?
Kinda Fonda Wanda.

Johnny Cash was invited to play with Frank Zappa in 1988.
Odd couple:)
Johnny however become ill and couldn't come.
So Zappa had to play Ring of Fire without him.

Mark, if you want help with donations, you need to get on org status with the IRS. Noone is going to give you any money without being able to write it off.

Also I find it insultung when you calls us kiddos etc pp. You have no children and most of us are your age or older.

Nuff said.

To be fair, the original post was made on a Saturday morning at 5.30am his time. I think we could be fairly well assured that he had been up all night drinking. We all know what weekends are like for Mark, particularly the last two. I don't think we should take this too seriously. Yes Uli has a point, but when Clint Eastwood takes over ....

Yup....the friend that he is, Chris is encouraging when he can be, and does try to let me know when he thinks me cheese be sliding offa me cracker a bit much.

At to Uli and Wiggo and Julie....
My use of the term 'kiddo' is one of familiarity and friendship. One of the things that Lori liked about me when we first met, is I would occasionally call her kiddo, as her grandfather used to. She liked him a lot.
It certainly is not used by me to be demeaning or insulting.

Merriam-Webster says this.....
Full Definition of KIDDO
1—used as a familiar form of address <you'll be okay, kiddo>
2: child, kid

Related to KIDDO
Synonyms
bairn [chiefly Scottish], bambino, bud, chap [Southern & Midland], chick, cub, juvenile, kid, kiddie (also kiddy), child, moppet, sprat, sprout, squirt, whelp, youngling, youngster, youth

So yes, it is often used in reference to youngsters. But also has other connotations. Notice 'bud' and 'chap' in the synonym list.

Just sayin'..................

People asking bold questions deserve bold answers.
    1. Mark knows that if I see him going off on a tangent or bending the boundaries that I will point it out to him. Because most times he is unable for reasons we all appreciate, to see it for himself before it is too late. He will always get a straight honest answer from me, and without being nasty.

    2. Most people here don't care about Mark, they are just sitting back waiting for the inevitable. I was the only one out of all of you that could be bothered to write to Fred suggesting a compromise way forward. Mark and I have a frank understanding.

    3. Due to time zones mods cant be everywhere, so a heads up to likely events is helpful. I would rather he got a six hour cool off early, than a 2 week ban later.

[honest opinion alert on]

Women see "kiddo" as being condescending and patronising. Cary Grant and others may have got away with it in WWII films, this is the 21C. Please don't do it.

"Hon" or "Hun" is also somewhat in that territory as well. Between two partners in a marriage or relationship that is fine but rather iffy outside it, but up to those on the receiving end. Angela K calls Uli Ulibelle which is a lovely tribute to a dear friend, and who would doubt that Uli is the belle of the ball around here? That is different.

[Honest opinion alert off]

I have publicly said that I think Mark was reinstated too soon, and I stand by that, and yes I believe that in time, if nothing changes, that he will go on an extended holiday again. He has been effectively challenged to prove both Seti and me wrong. Is he up to it? Does he want to be? Can he be bothered to be?

We all now know that Mark is on the loose all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday this particular weekend. He knows now he will be monitored, the Mods know he needs to be, and we will all see what we see. The players have their lines, stage ready, curtain up, let the show commence .....
