  1. my other passion was playing football. Saturday's and Sunday's and anytime i could during the week. as such i never 'did a full nighter stint'. Sunday morning kick off's...and sometimes a game in  the afternoon ( if called upon by another team who was short). I do vividly remember playing on one Sunday morning after a Saturday injury with what should have been a very painful ankle, and not feeling a thing...obviously the “medicine” worked

  2. John Pavlik (Powers) had a 5 year tenure at Motown (which i believe he regarded as not so good).He also mastered for such labels as Capital,Roulette, Warner Brothers, Philly Groove, Epic, Ariola America, and many other labels. Power's entrepreneurial skills resulted in the publishing companies begun by him. Powerhouse Music and Jet-Eye Music, Inc. With Jet-Eye, Powers played a pivotal role in revitalizing the career of his friend George Clinton by licensing Clinton's music to various labels around the world. In 1973 he also owned Discount Tape Shack.

    I'm prretty sure ( but happy to be corrected) that he was influential at Sound Incorporated and Sidra/Drew Records, the Detroit-area studios and record companies he co-owned in the 1960s and '70s.

    I can tell you a bit about the Shuffle with Ali 45.

    Jim Riley visited Ali at his hotel suite after the fight with Ernie Terrell in 1967...and took with him the pressing of "Shuffle with Ali". Tucker is Jimmy Tucker. Ali made no money (his religion didn't/doesn't allow it) so it went into the collection plate.

    So not only was it a fist fight, it was a song writer fight too, with Terrell's "A Hammer & a Nail" (with the Heavyweights).

    Messi is almost certainly the best ever IMO.

    Definitely a penalty too.  It's ok Neville saying what could the keeper do, the keepers actions caused a foul.  Anywhere else on the pitch by any other player and it would have been a foul.  How the attacker was supposed to avoid him I'm not sure.

    Shame for Modric mind, one of the greatest ever, but Croatia were pretty poor.

    the test for Messi will be if they do indeed face France in the final. Right now, I wouldn't put Messi in my top 6 for this World Cup, but recognize his past performances in other competitions and at club level. 

  5. For those that say ‘a wins-a-win, , it’s the ‘3 points that count’, etc …well good on ya.

    But frankly, any team that comes out deliberately not to be beat, aka Croatia, so they can ‘nick one’ or get to penalties deserves to get battered sooner or later.

    As unconvincing as Brazil were they still deserved to win with a goal like that.

    Not shoddy at all....  Wonder if Bob Abrahamian ever spoke to any of the group on his show, I'll check,  but I can’t imagine that he wouldn't have, unless they weren't around to speak to...

    Sceneman, it was a strange thread or question to ask, but I'd rather speak about this group over John Ovenchips latest auction price... I can afford their records; his I'd have to coff up a lung for.
