Rivals Banned

[Kace-1]

Very true. How did you get into music and finding out so much about it?

Some of my earliest memories involve music. My parents were big into it and we had a lofty collection of 33s and 45s. Dad was more into the mellow stuff while Mom dug bubblegum pop and early era heavy metal, along with most anything else that sounded good. I got my eclectic taste in music from her and my After Hours music moods from Dad.

This is late 1970s/early 1980s we're talking where my world basically revolved around cartoons, toy cars, and music. We'd listen to the radio a lot and it was one of those with the green dial lighting and an 8-track player with that big white button that when you pressed it would skip from the middle of the song you were listening to the middle of the next song.

Dad had an 8-track player and every weekend if the weather was nice, he'd tinker with his car while listening to Booker T & the MG's. He was into the Lettermen. Mom was more of a Led Zeppelin girl. Both loved Carolina Beach Music, people like the Embers, Fantastic Shakers, Chairmen of the Board, and the Drifters among others.

We had a little 45 player in our bedroom and the parents would just bring home new vinyl. My brother and I would listen to them and if it was universally agreed that the song sucked, he and I would take those 45s and roll them down the hallway to each other. I remember this vividly being something we did after listening to John Schneider's cover of "It's Now or Never."

I took to listening to records and the radio real early in life and that's never really gone away. A lot of the informational stuff was from being fans of people like Casey Kasem, Rick Dees, and Dick Clark.

We are gonna do another Rock It JV's on Friday. Wish you were there. I miss your music, too!

I haven't posted since I came over. I was posting during 'the rapture', but watched most everyone I know head over here. So, I only post here now. I've looked in over there, it saddens me. This should never have happened. However, it did, and it's done. I hope everything starts calming down, on both sides. I'm personally about done w/ message boards. I have met (online) and know most of the folks from there, so, I can talk with them still. I will miss you and some others, for sure!

Sometimes you get a cool backstory. Other times you get "Cherry Pie" by Warrant which was scribbled on either a napkin or toilet paper and went on to become this big hit and the bane of Jani Lane's existence until he died.

I am always writing stuff in crazy places. Any available space sometimes! Haha! The worst thing is trying to find a pen!

Well, kinda like with "Cherry Pie," there was "Bad to Me" which Lennon/McCartney were fortunate to have something to write with and on while riding in a van. The song basically just came to them and they shopped it out to Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas who wound up scoring a big UK hit with it.

All because inspiration hit out of nowhere while inside a van.

That is amazing and thank you for sharing all of that. It’s always been interesting to me how so many of our deepest rooted memories can be attached to the music we were listening to at that time. Like for myself every time I hear Boston’s more than a feeling it brings me all the way back to my first record player and that was the album my father gave me. I’m pretty sure I wore that old record out in the span of a few weeks until I earned enough money to by my next album.

Easy now. Can’t do that till after I make the move to Colorado next year as well(as long as it goes through).

Is that classy Miss Della still posting over there? I sure do wish she would come over here and join us.

I posted a few times over there as well but none in a week or so. Wouldnt go back just bc of the principal if it now. Read a post from AR about sloppy has every right to be upset with him. That to me said it all. I have stayed away from finger pointing but damn something is just wrong over there. The good posters that are still there have to suffer the consequences.

From your keyboard to God's eyes, man.

A lot of songs for me have special meaning via flashback. I've told this before elsewhere numerous times, but "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr. sometimes flashes me back to when I was 7 and had recorded the song off the radio. I then wore out the cassette listening to that song over and over. Seriously, for about an hour one day I played it on the cassette and as soon as it ended, I'd stop, rewind, and go back to the beginning and listen to it again. My uncle was babysitting me at the time and he finally snapped and told me to either stop playing the cassette or find another song to listen to. I think that's the only time he ever got pissed at me for anything.

I won’t be coming back, sheluvs. I’m not even sure what I was banned for, but I’m not one to rebuild burned bridges. I’m here now and planning to stay, tell @huskerlivinTN I said to stop by and say hello from time to time; the Music Forum is pretty cool over here.

Music forum? Go on...

You got a problem with Della?

Every song I love, like, dislike and hate is a page/chapter of my life.

From everything I know, Sloopy has a right to punch him in the face, lol! It's ugly... and bitter! Oh I know, I've seen it... and I think many of 'us' just want answers. Want to end all of this? Out the people, put them on front street and give the reasoning. Boom, over...

Here’s my take...

Let it be. If they want to talk shit or feel like they have to defend Soundoff let them. The board lost a lot of posters. Obviously they want to avoid losing more. Even if it means demonizing the ones no longer there. Some will understand why people leave, some will be defensive. Some will mock the bans. Some will argue that they were heavy handed and in some cases undeserved. That’s human nature.

My time, and my concern, with Rivals has come to an end. I joined 11 years ago, I enjoyed my time as a member and I did my best to add something to the board whether it be humor, setting up go fund me accounts, running contests, taking over trophy responsibilities after DickC passed, trash talking, or losing my shit after a Mizzou loss among other things.

Now I’m a member here. SportsHoopla has been welcoming to those of us who have joined. I will do my best to add something to this board the way I did on that board.

There is no going back to Rivals. Regardless of the bans ever being lifted or not, I won’t be returning under this name or any other name.

And so, I will let it be. Let them talk, let them be cocky or angry or whatever. Let us all enjoy our message board homes, both old and new. And let Greg Ladky step on a rake and burst both of his testicles.

Bowl games start soon. Let’s get back to talking about how Drew Lock is going to make Gundy cry.

As if that sperm bather has testicles.

I know. Message boards get crazy. It's another world. I will be over here sometimes to see that all is good with everyone. But, if I never talk to you anymore remember we were simpatico on HIM, which no one else seemed to know this band. Ha! You have been a lot of fun to know. I have never met anyone from the site, but feel like I know many. Haha!

Society, i got a question fot you. What happened to morals and principal's read you statement about quitting message boards all together. Ive been leaning that way for a while. A couple weeks ago i stuck my head in and made a couple of post b4 all this crap went down, and boom i was hooked again. Damn all you folks i like here. Damn you all....

That's bullshit! Visit and run without experiencing the night life here. Probably for the best. I'm not sure we can protect you from all the natives.

Tell Bufford to EAD!

This is why artists work so hard for their art..to hear people say things like this. It means so much when somebody was touched by something you created.
