    Stumbled across this one a few weeks ago, and caught most of it. I remember reading the book in sixth or seventh grade, and saw it in the theater a couple of years later. It was the first time I had seen it in over 40 years.

    The story takes place around 1965, and the movie has a very late 50's to mid 60's look and feel to it.

    Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, it's not a great movie, but ok to good, I'd say. Basically a story of rival gangs and cliques. 

     

    What I had forgotten was the cast in this movie, and then thinking about the careers so many of them went on to have, but how relatively unknown they were at the time. 

     

    C. Thomas Howell 

    Ralph Macchio

    Matt Dillon

    Patrick Swayze

    Rob Lowe 

    Emilio Estevez 

    Tom Cruise

    Diane Lane 

    Leif Garrett 

    Tom Waits

     

     

     


    I too read it in 6th or 7th grade. We watched the movie afterwards. I thought it was a very good movie. If you get a chance, there's an extended directors cut. The one thing I didn't like about that cut is that some of the new music didn't fit with the scenes.

    My thoughts on if they are HOF worthy:

     

    -Mariah Carey  Maybe, probably

    -Cher Nah

    -Ozzy Osbourne  Abso-****ing-lutely, why is he NOT in already?

    -Mary J Blige  Um...don't think so?

    -Eric B and Rakim  Um...don't think so?

    -Peter Frampton  Eh

    -Kool and the Gang  Nah

    -Sade  Nah

    -Jane's Addiction  Um...don't think so?

    -Oasis  Um...don't think so?

    -Sinead O'Connor  Nah

    -Tribe Called Quest   Um...don't think so?

    -Lenny Kravitz  Nah

    -Dave Matthews Band  Nah

    -Foreigner  Nah--well, maybe...I dunno lol

     

    KEY:

    Abso-****ing-lutely = Self-explanatory

    Maybe, probably = I think less of this artist than most but acknowledge they probably deserve entry

    Eh = Don't have an opinion one way or the other

    Nah = I don't see why they deserve being in the R&R HOF over a multitude of others, even though I may really like their music

    Um...don't think so? = Don't know nearly enough about this artist but still believe my opinion of them matters one iota lol...

     

    .

     

     

     


    You have to realize that rock n roll expands a wide variety of music. But since you only think "rock" bands should be in, how can you give Foreigner a ""nah--well maybe?" 
     

    They should have been in years ago.

  3. Mariah Carey

    Cher 

    Ozzy Osbourne

    Mary J Blige

    Eric B and Rakim

    Peter Frampton

    Kool and the Gang 

    Sade 

    Jane's Addiction

    Oasis 

    Sinead O'Connor

    Tribe Called Quest

    Lenny Kravitz 

    Dave Matthews Band

    Foreigner 

     

    Probably my biggest gripe is Sinead O'Connor. I know she recently died, but she's not a hall of famer. Someone needs to remind whoever votes on this about Barry White.

    Squad of us are making the trip to Vegas (staying at the Luxor) in September so I’m looking forward to taking in the Allegiant. Looks quite the stadium and I agree is perhaps the model/template going forward, 


    We stayed at the Luxor when the Commanders played the Raiders a couple of years ago. You'll have a great time and that stadium is something else.

    That’s cute.  Tim Hasselbeck, who actually has played Qb in the league and watched the film on the QBs, thinks Maye is the best Qb in the draft and one of the best Qb prospects he has have seen. 

     


    And when another former QB says the exact same thing about Williams, then what? Because I've heard multiple people say that Williams is one of the best QB prospects since Manning.

    I can't read the article, but I don't have to. He seems like a primadonna and we don't need that headache. Take Drake and you don't have to worry about that or character issues. 


    What if Drake May isn't as good? Keshawn Johnson (USC alum) convinced we that we can't go wrong with either Williams or Jayden. He said that after watching these QB's, there's not that big of a gap between the two and both were much better than Maye in his opinion.

    You're kidding yourself if you think this strange pattern from him doesn't matter to anyone outside of Washington.

     

    People aren't going to part with $15 + million per year for someone who could possibly taint their franchise. He'll get more looks for sure, but this 100% is a terrible look for him.

     

    The owners aren't going to look kindly on someone pulling stuff like this two years in a row.

     


    You think if the Lions offense excels next year and heaven forbid they go deep into the postseason, that owners are going to hold this against him?

    I guess this isn't as attractive of a job as people thought.  Its going to take a long time to wipe the **** stain Snyder left behind.  


    I don't think the previous 20 plus years of Dan Snyder has anything to do with it. I would hope NFL coaching candidates would be smarter than that.
