Guys, you are supposed to at least make an attempt to tie this stuff in with MD G. Does anyone know if Chuck Norris owes a mini disc recorder? I'll bet Mike Myers has one :). There are so many ways to measure the talent of an individual. My son is an actor (no you haven't seen him on TV or in any movies, but he has done summer stock-he's basically a stage actor and teaches theater at a fancy college prep school). If large numbers of people find Chuck Norris movies (and his TV show) entertaining, then while he may technically not be a "good" actor, it does have the talent to entertain. I have seen him in a lot of movies that I really enjoyed (even if I didn't walk away learning the meaning of life from them). As for Mike Myers. It's not just his comedic acting ability (btw, I confused Myer's with Dana Carvey-Carvey did church lady, sorry) but his writing and general creative talent. Myer's has created several "institutions". Austin Powers (which by the way I was very disappointed in. I really didn't see what all of the fuss was about (Give me "Blazing Saddles" any day) is probably almost as well know as James Bond.

Not only did not not enjoy his movies, I didn't like the man. There was a Playboy interview with a REAL actor, Ed Asner, about 20 years ago. If you had read the article you'd see why I hate Wayne. But this is not the proper forum for that. What about Jim Carney? I never heard of him. But I did see a guy named Jim Carrey in those movies :). I saw him in The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber. I thought he was great. However, after a while his is just playing Jim Carney, and I haven't seen any of his other movies 'cause I got tired of seeing Jim Carney all the time. He runs hot and cold.

Larry (who is copying his new Kingston Trio CDs to MD as we speak) I did that with my Jim Kewskin Jug Band CD. I gotta get around to copying my LPs next. These albums were not available on CD until very recently. I had them all on vinyl, but lost two of them in a fire. So this was a big deal for me. I have been trying to one particular song that is on one of them for 20 years! That reminds me about MD. People are making a great fuss about CD, MD and what ever sound quality. When I was in my teens and twenties I had the time to sit down in my family room and just listen to music. Sound quality was very important to me then because that's what I was doing. I usually don't have the luxury of doing that very often. If I get any free time I usually watch a DVD now a days. So most of my music listening is done while I am driving. I guess I should invest more money in my car stereo. I have just had a 1990 Pontiac Am quad four restored. Up until now I didn't have a car that I felt was worth putting a good system in. I really love home theater though. Before I bought a Dolby Pro Logic receiver (about 18 years ago) I "hot wired" the two rear speakers using a stereo receiver. Believe it or not, it actually sounds pretty good. You don't get a front center channel. But the ambiance sound is picked up in the rear. If anyone one is not familiar with "hot wiring", you take the positive lead from the right front speaker and attach it to the positive terminal on the rear right. The same with the left. Then you attach the right rear negative to the left rear negative. Larry - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You may not think you've ever heard of Mike Myers, but odds are almost 100% you have. He's the creative force and the title role in the Austin Powers films, among other projects. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Rodney, Unless a person has been in outer space with no communications with earth what so ever since "Wayne's World", "Church Lady", "Coffee Talk" etc., it is impossible not to know who he is. Maybe I'm paranoid (but you know that even paranoid people have enemies) I detect undertones in his comment that deeply concern me. For those of you who understand what I am concerned about, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not, no explanation will suffice. And he's Canadian. Man those Canadians come down here and just take over like they own the place G. Seriously, a lot of the great talent that we have enjoyed over the years are Canadian born. Also, much of the television and movies that we watch are filmed in Canada. I think that the Canadian government contribute financially to certain projects. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
