False facts about Star Trek many think are true

poolcleaner says...

Ok, these are cool and all, but any legit Trekker/ie (BOTH terms have been used by varied alumni cast members and fans to mean whatever they want it to mean) knows these things. Anyone who has watched every episode is like "Are these not obvious facts?"

Spock's emotions were even referenced in the JJ reboot. The beam me up thing is already memed. And ST:TNG practically showcases the burreaceacy of Starfleet as something Picard can elloquently rebutt.

But cool video, this is favorited so i can just send it to people who aren't ultra nerds. (My wife is actually the legit Trekker in the family tho -- i set her ringtone to "It's been a long time" because she hates that folky intro song and i know it annoys her that it's Star Trek music hahahahaaaaa...

Levon.

From a cotton farm in Turkey Scratch Arkansas to the very pinnacle of the music world. 71 year old Levon Helm will soon be gone. Thought I'd post this tribute song written by Elton John from his 1971 album "Madman Across the Water".

Story here. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/Entertainment/Music/6474166/story.html

From the above story "Born May 26, 1940, in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas, the son of cotton farmers, he learned to play guitar and drums as a child. By 17 he was appearing in honky tonks in and around nearby Helena and taking in performance by such southern legends as Conway Twitty, Elvis Presley, Bo Diddley, and Ronnie Hawkins.

He joined Hawkins’ rockabilly band The Hawks just before they moved to Canada in the late 1950s.

In the early 1960s, Helm and Hawkins recruited Canadians Robbie Robertson (guitar), Rick Danko (bass) and pianist Richard Manuel and organist Garth Hudson. They left Hawkins and toured as Levon and the Hawks before backing Bob Dylan in the mid-60s. Fans weren’t initially receptive to Dylan’s switch from acoustic folky to electric folk-rocker, and Helm headed back south, working on offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico for a couple of years until bassist Rick Danko asked him to rejoin the group that would become known around the world as, simply, The Band"

CaptWillard sir, I am not using some dynamic jumbo-mamboo, same fucking shitty laptop form the same wireless acct. I have always had, this user here, is my only window, into the land of malk and hooey-Fuck it. Ban this account, because all I will ever use it for is chiming in when bullshit rears it's head if I happen to be standing in front of the train station.......Your ramblings are replete with assumptions, and self-gratifying conclusions, sir-

Don't want back, unless choggie is allowed back-otherwise his is the very last you will see or hear from me, save the wonderful kindred spirits off site, who happened to have found each other here......ta ta folkies.....


and again, "HATERS, are folks who drag non-contextual words form someone's private thread(KP) and share their version of brain-dead with the group-"Lynch-Niggers", was for KP, because he had a problem with process, and asked for my help-remember how he went off on Lucky about the word lynch in the sifttalk post where KP stormed out, tail-tucked and defeated??....again..CONTEXT, DUMBASS!!!.....the word is meaningless outside of it-go back to school, and fuck an English professor-

I haven't really had much time for new music. I've been listening to Grizzly Bear a lot still, they're on Letterman tonight I think. Battles seems interesting, although I've only really listened to the first 3 songs or so. Other than that, Raymond Scott and my friend's band Quiet Bears (4track folky goodness). Got anything new for me to try?

Wow, that's surprising, though not so much since I'm hearing this from Sifters (who tend to be busy pursuing more intellectually stimulating past-times than the usual intertube bodyboarder).

Yeah, he's been pretty popular for a number of years and is famous for his folky, bluesy brand of mellow tunage.

Can´t miss em. Brett is the 1,95 tall guy with the hair that looks like an exploded sofa cushion...

Oh and another guy worth checking out is Tim Ireland, also from the same Sydney gang. Bit more folky so it might not fit your bill but who knows...

Actually you should browse around Peregrines Myspace contacts. They have heaps of cool musical friends from around Sydney. Extended family (very bluesy, funky) Entropic (more electronic) Melanie Horsnell (folk meets pop) Bertie Blackman (very rocky)...
