What song are you listening to right now

Yeah, a deep dive like that can really be surprising. So many songs that became famous by one artist were actually performed by someone else first. To me, it makes a difference if the newer artist gives credit to the original or not. Santana always gives credit to early Fleetwood Mack for "Black Magic Woman" Stevie Ray Vaughan idolized the early blues artists and always gave credit to them for the songs he covered, played them as an homage to them, and would try to perform with them if possible. The early Rolling Stones didn't consider themselves a "rock and roll" band but a blues band. They covered many blues artists, revered Howlin' Wolf, and even insisted that he appear with them on the TV show Shindig! Other British invasion band weren't so generous. The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin were notorious for ripping off other artists and wound up getting sued and losing. Jimmy Page even admitted in an early interview that he ripped off American Folk singer Jake Holmes pretty much note for note on the Yardbirds original arrangement of Dazed and Confused. Holmes had opened for the Yardbirds when Page first heard it.
I love Led Zeppelin but they did take some serious liberties. I'm thinking that some of those writing credits have been corrected. Babe I'm Going to Leave You, Lemon Song, When The Levee Breaks... many more. A lot of British artists from that period blatantly ripped off older songs, Deep Purple even ripped off Ricky Nelson

I think Steely Dan blatantly ripped off this bass line to Rikki Don't Lose That Number

Home Repairs/HoneyDo List/Advice & Tips/etc.

Exact thing happened to me about a year ago. There is probably a hairline crack near one of the bolt holes in the tank. Replacing the whole unit is not hard, just nasty business cleaning up the old wax seal.
The worst part is picking it up and trying to put it in like a big garbage bags to carry it out in. That last bit of water in the bottom is the worst.

Woulda just had a plumber come out and install......"A man's gotta know his limitations", which I do. I need instructions on which end of the screwdriver to use....
I try to most of the handy work myself because my wife freaks when someone comes into the house. In her mind they're looking for any stain or spot of dust so that they can call her a bad wife. She's nuts. If someone does have to come she schedules it for when she's not here then afterward asks me if he said anything.

Agree. Replaced many a crapper as can be expected.

BP Fantasy Baseball est. 2008 (Current Champion = Ahiacitian)

The only time I beat @Ahiacitian was last season when Nick Kurtz beat Kyle Schwarber in an all out one week HR derby.
I can get got this year. As evidence by the current 6th place in the standings and lackluster performance last week. So far, the team is the very definition of “mid”.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

Im sure he's a nice kid and all but can we be done with this already? Dude was figured out by the league. It happens. Next man up

Matt McLain over his last 181 games/720 plate appearances:
.215 BA
.301 OBP
.333 SLG
.635 OPS
74 OPS+ (league average 100)
17 HR
59 RBI

We don't have enough next men up in the minors to fill all the gaping holes in this MLB roster.
