This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

If you missed Billy Joel's 100th MSG concert last night, you by Boomer80
have a second chance since the geniuses at CBS ended the broadcast abruptly in the middle of his finale song "Piano Man", cutting to black and cutting over to the local news. People went nuts calling the station and they have pledged to rebroadcast the whole thing Friday night. My wife and I watched the whole thing (recorded to enable skipping the massive load of commercials). What a blast it was to watch Billy & his pals putting on an incredible show. The guy is 74 yrs old and he hit the high notes. Wow. Recommend you watch the legend while he's still around!
I remember when he came to ND (1979?) - tickets started at $15 in the ACC, we all thought that was a huge gouge, LOL! Maybe it was for the times...
