We have "keepers" on the Joaquin Phoenix boards that I sometimes visit. I'm not a keeper of anything, though.

However, it wouldn't surprise me if you X-philes are the originators of them. Wasn't it the X-files fans that originated the term "shipper"?

The seasons, they go round & round
The painted ponies go up & down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round & round & round
In the circle game

I notice it's a pretty common thing now, especially on Livejournal. Joaquin fan, eh? Good taste.

Yep, we did!

Aaah! The green cup! LOL

Edit: I'm the proud owner of one of those Crystal Visions tapes. ;-)

My Crystal Visions tape died last year... it was a sad moment.

Hmmm... I've been here since '97, just a few months before "The Dance. I remember a few names from the early days... most of the people I was friendly with back then are gone... I think Mari, Chili and David are my oldest ledgie friends.

I wish I knew how to quit you.

Yes but that's because your board is as dead as a doornail!

Whereas you & I were both posting on amfm back pre-reunion days, along with sMac & Nepotist chris & remember that nice guy Chris Small who lived in Davis? Wonder what ever happened to him.

Don't forget about Marty & Lisa! They were there back in the day, too! There was also Joe Admire (the guy who founded AMFM) and Jeff Kenney (who had the Chain Gang, now the FM discography). Then, later, there was Jyqm and Homer. Chris small was a great guy. People sometimes accused us of being the same person, as our posts had a similar tone. Which is partially why I became a sarcastic prick those first few years (damn you Google, damn you)! I think I got him a copy of John McVie's Gotta Band at Best Buy. THE funniest thing I remember about that newsgroup, though, was when somebody asked about music for "Songbird" and somebody who now runs an official site said that he had never heard of that song, but maybe the person was thinking about Stevie's "Nightbird."

Of course, there was that OTHER element, too. James P. Nalbandia, anyone? Or, the oddly similar Jaydee69?

But, here's perhaps my most legendary, and oddly ironic in hindsight, post EVER! (Funnier, still, that there still seems to be many of the same debates going on today.)

I had an interesting weekend.

On Friday, I called up Mick and Bekka's management company as well as John McVie's management company and both said that Fleetwood Mac has broken up. My personal take is that it was a mutual decision.

However, I called Stubner management a second time, and the secretary said that they were on hiatus. I'm not really sure what's going on. I don't know if it's just that they don't have any current plans or if it's a premanent thing. What I do know is that there is not going to be a reunion of the Rumours line-up (in fact, he laughed at the suggestion).

So, I think that we can end all discussions about an Odd Chance Of A Rumours Reunion and Bekka Singing Stevie Songs. The point is that they're, at least for the time being, history.

Hey, at least I put "at least for the time being" in the tag. I mean, I did leave the door open for such a thing...Okay, more like I propped the door open with a used text book from a class I dropped that is now being used as a door prop, coaster, and serving tray, but the point is the door wasn't completely closed.

Ah..."Sweet Music." Boy, that was a fun website. I got to chat with a lot of great Dave Mason fans, Steve Winwood fans, and Traffic fans. Good times.

Hey, the damn thing is already six years in the making, so what's another week or two? Or month for that matter?

I reached 55,000 but I'm still not satisfied. Who knows if I ever will be. I swear this talent is a curse not a gift.
