Fun Stuff...Off Topic(O/T)

Badfinger was awesome. Remember lots of people thought they were the Beatles ?

To this day when I hear that song "No Matter What," I swear that I hear Paul McCartney singing the high harmony on the bridge.

Rob,
Two of my biggest regrets , because of lack of motivation I didn't go see Jimmy Hendrix at the Cleveland Public Auditorium for $4 or Badfinger at the Cleveland Agora for $2. A girl acquaintance of mine just down the road saw The Beatles at Cleveland Mun. Stadium with her boyfriend , but they didn't invite me along.

Okay, I'll take a crack at it. And I promise I'm doing this without consulting the Internet (hey, anybody can look it up--that's no fun); I'm doing it off the top of my head, so I'll probably get some wrong, but some of 'em I know for sure:

• Buffalo Springfield: For What It's Worth (Great song, and I know the story behind that one.)
• Richie Havens: Here Comes the Sun (I know he did a version of it. Sang it at Woodstock, didn't he?)
• Daddy Dewdrop: Chick-A-Boom (I remember the song well, but not sure if this is the right artist.)
• Norman Greenbaum: Spirit In the Sky (I remember it well. Circa 1970?)
• White Plains: Morning Girl
• Rosie and the Originals: Mr. Big Stuff
• Tom Clay: My Baby Loves Lovin'
• Mungo Jerry: In the Summertime (Reminds me of eating pizza at a Shakey's Pizza Parlor with one of the prettiest girls in my Junior High School, 'cause she played it on the jukebox.)
• T. Rex: Bang A Gong (Later covered by Power Station.)
• Jean Knight: Angel Baby
• The Neon Philharmonic: What the World Needs Now Is Love
• Bobby Bloom: Montego Bay
• Brownsville Station: Smokin' In the Boys Room
• First Class: Beach Baby
• Starland Vocal Band: Afternoon Delight

How'd I do?

I bolded the ones you got right...Doug

The reason you don't think of Buf Spring is because Stills and Young went on to become stars...But I liked all their songs...My fave was "Burned"

Park,
Right on! I thought Mannix was going to let his freak flag fly and shake the boards with that groovie far out chick, but he didn't make the scene. Bummer!

not fun, but off topic

Does anyone know where I can find current salary data of what different titles / positions make per year? I'm sure that the information would vary between regions of the country, but I'm curious to know what are average salaries for various careers / titles.

For example, what is the avg salary for a VP of operations or manager of marketing, etc?

Thanks for the help. Maybe you can help me get a raise.

Peanuts, try out Monster.com's Salary Center.

Peanuts, try out Monster.com's Salary Center.

Interesting site Rob. I just found out that I am grossly overpaid by Monster.com's standards. Plus the bonuses. Well you get what you pay for I guess. I was hesitant at first and thinking that I might be unhappy with what the search returned. Be careful Peanuts. You don't always get what you want, to paraphrase Mick.

Off Topic, But Definitely Not Fun ...

Steve Irwin, a.k.a. "The Crocodile Hunter" has been killed by a stingray in a diving incident off the coast of Australia while filming an underwater documentary.

Story, from Sydney's Daily Telegraph

I always thought it was just a matter of time for that guy. I enjoyed watching his shows but would always say to myself, "one of these days this guy's going to get just a little too daring ..." Well, that day came, and this is one of those times I wish I hadn't been right.

I've heard the rumors before that The Crocodile Hunter had been killed, so I did a news search to verify your post....I'm shocked. It's actually true.

Although he took a lot of uneccsary risks, I still loved his show. I really feel for his wife and children who will now have to go on without him...

They've started a thread about it on the Aussie stock board.
