    I opened this album in grade 6 at X-mas. The song is appropriate for this thread... but not my favourite of the fourth side:

    Larger than Life might be the greatest - but in competition with:

    Hate them having studio tracks on the albu though. They had more live tracks to have on it instead.

    That's a gooder. In the bigger picture, I was never a huge Ace vocalist guy (Shock Me one of my faves though). He's not terrible by any stretch of the imagination, but I always preferred Paul.

    America is great.  Why?  Because we share! 

    By the way, here's a little quiz:

    What do Neil Young and Stone Gossard have in common?

    Here's a hint, look carefully:

    Considering how polluted the world is, I'm guessing the article could read "Almost Every Place on Earth Life Expectancy Drops".

    I'm pretty sure it has to do with lifestyle/diet almost exclusively in the USA.....

    Probably more to do with people walking in front of oncoming traffic while messing with their cell phone.

    Would the greatest country in the world have serious problems with voter supression and a thing called "gerrymandering" ?

    I think it's pretty much a proven fact that the US is not the greatest country in the world. when you look at overall population happiness, life expectancy, overall health, etc, etc, the stats don't lie.
