Was anyone ever into the 90s alt-rockers Live?
Got free tickets to a solo show by their former singer the other night.
Not bad

I used to be really into them. I still love Mental Jewelry, Throwing Copper and The Distance to Here and that guy's voice is phenomenal. One of the quintessential, and I would argue one of the best, 90's bands.
 
Played the entire Throwing Copper album from start to finish, then maybe five other songs as an encore.
Took my kids, who had never heard of them, but did recognize a couple songs and quite enjoyed the show.
Dude can sing.
 
That sounds great! I'd love to catch that show. I was a pretty big fan of the band's material up until a certain point, when it all just got really meh. But I remember that guy's voice being one of the best I'd heard in pop/rock. It's like if you gave Michael Stipe from REM the range of Chris Cornell.

I loved them! And I still do. Ed Kowalczyk is a great frontman and I totally envy you for seeing him live.
However, I have the feeling they never really got the credit they deserved, especially outside the US.
 
That's not my experience. Maybe there was a difference between the Netherlands and the rest of Europe, but out here they were very popular. I saw Live live in 1997, on a Belgian festival with this line-up.
Channel Zero, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Supergrass, Live, Sheryl Crow, Radiohead, Jamiroquai, Smashing Pumpkins, The Prodigy

Here two years earlier on PinkPop:

edit:
And these days Live are more popular outside the US!
Their last three studio albums fared only moderately well in the U.S., but they continued to enjoy success in The Netherlands, South Africa, Australasia and Brazil.

Looks like the zika virus is man made and was created by the Rockefellers back in 1947: http://www.atcc.org/products/all/VR-84.aspx#history

Huh? No, that is not what that says at all. That is the person/company who reported the virus, and when it was added to the ATCC database (which, by the way, was created in 1947, though it appears to be coincidental).

The zika virus was isolated in 1947 in Uganda from a monkey, but had already infected 6.1% of the populace of the country.
 
Why is there a random shot of Miley Cyrus crying? Are they suggesting she's CGI?

More importantly: - off work for a week. :nana:
