The username and thread reminds me of the 1980's music scene when MTV became big. Bands would name themselves after the single they were releasing...just to make it easier on the consumer to associate the video with the band.

Big Country will now perform Big Country off of their debut album, Big Country.


In all honestly, that was a very decent Scottish pop band. That is a *great* song.

I appreciate your thoughts, not sure what your cup of tea is; Alicia Keys, maybe some harder stuff like Maroon 5? ;)
His wet nurse doesn't allow him to listen to music anymore, makes him too excitable. Last time they gave him his music privileges back, he assaulted one of the orderlies when the Beach Boys came on.

Yes, we will. Over time I'm willing to bet the combination of what the Bears gave up will exceed the value of what the Bears traded up for:

-Bears Received: RB David Montgomery (No. 73), CB Duke Shell (No. 205)
-Bears Gave Up: RB Damien Harris (No. 87), LB Cameron Smith (No. 162), Player TBD (2020 4th)

I'll take the three assets the Bears gave up over the two they got back any day of the week. And that's not a knock on Montgomery, either. The draft is educated guesswork and none of us knows how good - or bad - he will be. I'd simply rather have the three assets they traded away.

No way any of the bolded turns out to be Marshall Faulk.

That should buy him a lifetime's worth of sprite, fun size bags of chips and cheese smokie links.

Also, if we're talking Scottish bands, I prefer The Waterboys x100, wooo! If anyone wants an intro sampler (.mp3), hit me up - I've got pretty much their whole discography.


Good call. Simple Minds is the one most people think of. My favorite would have to be Idlewild.

I'd like to report this serial racist, homophobe, xenophobe, and draft dodger for adding the 'anti-semite' qualification to his collection

This has got to be Gator Mike or BF51 with an alt troll job.
