I don't know much about this world but the one thing that I have a pretty strong understanding of,thanks to a 30 year career at several of the world's most famous hospitals,is the world of medicine.
As a result I know that the Dana Farber Cancer Center in Boston,Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston are,in fact,the three finest cancer treatment (and research) centers in the world.
For every foolish showbiz type that goes to Germany for treatment hundreds of Germans,Brits,Canadians,Saudis,Swedes,etc fly to those three cities for care.
A Cure?
Thanks. I do now understand what you mean.
But, 1978 is 40 years ago.
IMO he doesn’t hold a candle to Stevie Ray Vaughn or Prince for guitar playing.
SRV and Prince are disciples of Jimi, not Eddie. They each brought something to the dance, though Prince's songwriting skills are superior to his guitar chops IMHO. Both died too young - SRV died in a tragic accident, and Prince died just being tragic.
Van Halen just spewed random spasmodic notes. Horrible.
That’s why they had to do a Kinks song to have something halfway decent.
Netherlands, actually. His dad was apparently a musician of some notoriety in Holland, he and his brother Alex were born in Amsterdam, and the family came to America on a cruise ship when they were just a few years old. I remember reading that he said they got here with $50 cash and a piano. He’s a naturalized American, but he said when he got here, he didn’t speak a word of English, and he used to hang out with all the black kids on the playground because they were the only ones who would stand up for him when the schoolyard bullies tried to hassle him for being foreign and speaking weird. Cool. Different time.
I have no idea

Frankly, You Really Got Me is one of the weaker songs on their debut album. On that point, here is the isolated guitar track on "I'm The One." What you hear is just a guy and his guitar tearing it up and mixing fast runs, attitude, boogie, technique, and keeping in time - with no punch-ins, no edits...in 1978.
I saw SRV live in 1986. Testify remains my favorite of his instrumentals. I prefer his playing to that of Prince's, but Prince's songwriting was superior to possibly SRV and EVH's combined.
...and the aforementioned Mayo and Hopkins? (Penn, Duke?)
As your post suggests this country enjoys...in many,many cities from coast to coast...the finest healthcare in the world.
That is a perfect example of how I described it. Random spasmodic flailing.
Rush was worse.
Van Hale, I never liked at all.
Too much deedle-a-deedle-a-deedle-a on guitar.
(It’s dangerous to talk pop music because people take it personally - so don’t take it as a personal affront or anything).
Prayers for him.
Its called HPV
But Im still alive
I think this cunnilingus threat is hogwash
Its not. Any exchange of bacteria is a risk. Shaking hands, touching doorknobs, kissing (even grandma). What one does is just keep oneself healthy with a good body bacterial biome. Gut bugs we call them but they dont remain only in the gut. Eating both probiotics and prEbiotics and getting a great ecosystem is paramount.
If yours is great, you can kiss anyone anywhere, but the risk is greater if youre kissing EVERYONE EVERYWHERE.
Lots of people will be ill (even with a virus) and not realize their immune system is too indisposed for a romp with a new sex partner. No one stops and says you know, Im getting over a cold. Or if they do, they think its their partner who is at risk for getting that sniffly nose. Its you, at risk getting some of their bacteria to maybe throw off your good mix. And maybe getting something worse than the sniffles eventually.
He’s amazing.
80% of sexually active adults get the virus....
My sons all got the vaccine(s)
Most adult X and Boomer moms I know test + for it and Id guess me and the rib are odds on to have had it at some point
I hate to see this used as an excuse for men to refrain from oral sex for ladies like it was when I was young and most men didnt do it...and trust me it was that way and some demographics still dont do it....
West Indian men for example
Properly done its the key to a ladies satisfaction especially one who has a difficult time enjoying coitus
A good man should for sure have a mastery of this in his quiver of talent and have an enthusiastic attitude about since so many women at least in my era were sensitive about how things were down yonder
Its a key to monogamy I think....
So yes I defend the institution
Michael Douglas notwithstanding
I replied
Obviously Im an enthusiast lol
I learned very early in this one
Older women were like oh my God where did u learn that
I was like ...literature
Seriously
I was a boy and read a book that gave pretty good detail
And my mom was a big reader and had everything from Alan Watts to john Updike
And
* Every thing you ever wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask
I absorbed it all early teens
Of course I had a lot of religious shame over it too
