Thanks. I agree. It really is an amazing piece of guitar genius.

I can't believe this one was about to expire with nine votes... It's simply one of the best songs ever recorded, IMO.

Can you Really be forgiven for not recognizing footage from recent kid films? Are you sure? Well, ok, I forgive you too then. You should still drag yourself to one or two kid films a year, at least...they're really trippy these days.

The footage in the video is from the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie with Johnny Depp from a couple years ago (really? do you kids really know that little about the threadbare culture we have?) ...
A bit harsh, no? I think at 51, I can be forgiven for not recognizing footage from a recent "kids" film... I don't have any kids/grandkids to drag me to them.

More importantly, you want survey participants willing to register on some unknown site. First, I don't go to bit.ly sites...too risky. Even if I were willing to risk it, I won't give out personal info (i.e. register) for a site unless it there's some value in it for me. A situation like this doesn't seem to require any of -my- personal info, so another fail.

Tell your friend that a more transparent survey site might get a higher rate of participation...not that there's much value in a self-selected survey like this anyway.

Thanks for the feedback, I should have posted the original link so that sifters could see it was from a credible university.

In this case, the survey methodology is such that with enough responses, statistically significant data can be extracted.

Good grief, he really sounded awful back then, didn't he?

I didn't see him until after he climbed on the wagon...but he sounded completely different by that time. For one thing, he could sing on key...actually, by the time I saw him, he'd proven to have an extremely good voice (at least when he wanted to).

Very educational, for me at least.

LOL yes, I actualy found one where hw sounded so BAD and looked so strung out I didnt even post it, saw him live as well in the 80's and by then he had straightened up some, best concert Ive ever been to to this day. <3 Alice! His outfit in this clip intrigued me lol

No actually this is at my school. They have a Fine Arts program in Metals that ranges from coppersmithing, silversmithing to blacksmithing. Blacksmithing has used machinery like this since the industrial revolution and some of the old anvils, tools and machines are still used today. Blacksmithing today is mainly for architecture (gates ect.) and sculpture (some sculpture programs use blacksmithing equiptment)...I hope this provided some information.

In reply to this comment by Stormsinger:
I actually didn't know that anyone was still manually blacksmithing (maybe semi-manual, or manual-assisted?)...except for those few fanatics/purists/hobbyists you find at renn fests. Is this a full-time job (I'd assume so, given that piece of machinery), or more of a hobby, @Lann?

Either way, it's a fascinating glimpse at an activity I am/was completely clueless about.

Sorry for having a different opinion, BoneRemake and Shepppard, but I really don't see how I pissed in your Wheaties. Leave the personal attacks at home, dudes.

Of course the driver screwed up, I thought that was so obvious I didn't need to even comment on it.

Shit happens, and any parent worth the name wants their children to have at least a clue. If the kid had known how to get help, i.e. knock on a door and ask someone to call the cops, he wouldn't have been so frantic. Five is plenty old enough to know how to ask for the police. That gives you all sorts of better results in a situation like this, doesn't it? First, the kid doesn't have to stand around crying for hours. Second, the cops will bring him home, or call mom to pick him up at the police station. Third, you have an official record of the incident to back up any legal action that might be taken. Fourth, you don't have the kid standing outside for hours in an area he doesn't know and isn't known, where he really -could- be at risk.

So in closing, piss off.

hey you have a real fucked up deluded sense of how children think, I hope for the worlds sake you dont have little kin soldiers who are five and know how to battle dress a wound or capture game at seven. hell by four they should know how to recognize block parent signs and run for help whence a molester comes.
