    Is Lady Gaga as big as the Beatles?

    Ha--that's an interesting question. I would answer with, did the Beatles command respect among Country music fans of their day? Country music was so much different back then...think George Jones, Charley Pride, Tammy Wynette, etc. Big as they were, they did NOT dominate Country music by any...

    Is Lady Gaga as big as the Beatles?

    Yes, the teenyboppers circa 1965, since they were a HUGE population and their response was complete hysteria, were waaaay more insane for the Beatles. The thing is, Gaga's "little monsters" are so much more than fans. They are devoted followers and her fan base keeps growing larger as she...

    Mission: Impossible (original series)...

    The original Mission: Impossible was first class all the way. Top actors, top stories, top concept, top musical theme. It is an all time television classic. Keep in mind this show went on the air on or around 1965, before the technology explosion that changed the world. What seems so...

    Is Lady Gaga as big as the Beatles?

    I remember Beatlemania circa 1964 through 1970. Do you think Lady Gaga has achieved a similar level of international pop culture stardom? She's only one and they were a group of four, but still. I'm thinking she's as famous as the Beatles in their heyday and is working on becoming just as rich.

    Has retirement changed due to employment?

    The concepts of work for a company for your adult life, then retire with a gold watch, health care and a pension have not been reality for most Americans for quite some time now. The top one or two percent, sure, they'll have a cushy retirement. The middle class? What middle class? The GOP...

    Oliver Stone and Michael Douglas return for "Wall Street 2"

    Wall St. the first time around was awesome and provocative. Too bad kids of that era who heard "greed is good" took it literally. D'oh! Which brings us to today and a very relevant Wall St. II. I'll be watching. Couldn't care less about Charlie Sheen. He is completely irrelevant in...

    At this moment in time, Paxilvania is bigger than Squiggville.

    Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton

    It is very obvious that the Star Trek Experience was very expensive to build and it must be expensive to maintain, even with a skeleton "crew." If the film is a hit, it brings Star Trek back into current relevance and more than just Trek fans will want to go see it. If the film is not a hit, I...

    Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton

    As much as I love the Borg and Voyager (my favorite series), I liked the Klingon Encounter better than the Borg Invasion 4D. The Klingon Encounter had the experience of being in a turbo lift, of being transported and of course, that wild shuttle ride. That was kick ass! The Borg Invasion was...

    Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton

    Ro, I bet you didn't know that your picture was there in the Star Trek museum part of the "Experience." Yes, you are there in the time line. There is your picture ;) and a blurb about how you were assigned to go after the Maquis but then joined them or something like that. I whizzed through...

    Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton

    I finally got there and went through it yesterday. Unfortunately, I only had allowed three hours before my departure, so I had to rush through it. It is very expensive but also an awesome experience. I did both rides (Klingon Encounter and Borg 4D) and did the behind the scenes tour. Altogether...
