Close on the year. Way off on the locale. George

I figured maybe Flushing Meadows because of the hype, but I'm just going to say, Madison Square Garden. 1974?

I remember to this day, the bright red Georgia clay How it stuck to the tires after the summer rain Will power made that old car go, a woman's mind told me that it's so Oh, how I wish we were back on the road again I can still recall the wheat fields of St. Paul And the mornin' we got caught robbin' from an old hen Old Mac Donald made us work, but then he paid us for what it was worth Another tank of gas and back on the road again I'll never forget that day we motored stately into big L.A. The lights of the city put settlin' down in my brain Though it's only been a month or so, that old car's buggin' us to go You gotta get away and get back on the road again

Preparation for the Burial of “Pre-trib”: Decorating the Gravesite with Christ’s Gospel Precedent and the Revelation of the Mystery for the Church, “Christ in you, the Hope of Glory” Christ’s Gospel Precedent: Quoting the Prophets’ Prophecies 1. Why did Christ quote Isaiah 61:1, 2a in Luke 4:18, 19? And why did Christ stop at 61:2a? Why didn’t Christ read Isaiah 61:2b? 2.Why did Christ quote Daniel in Matthew 24:15? 3.Is it possible Christ set a precedent during His ministry on Earth (quoting the prophets’ prophecies)—which He continued from the right hand of God when He gave revelation of the mystery to His apostles, directing them to quote the prophets’ prophecies? If you know the answers to these 3 questions, then you know Christ’s Gospel Precedent—which, when applied from Acts to Revelation, reveals the Revelation of the Mystery for the Church, “Christ in you, the Hope of Glory.” And you too will look forward to the burial of “pre-trib” on Friday. I'll be back to finish decorating the gravesite mid-week. Peace. revvel

Actually we've never met but I would love to... I think when he was in the Bronx, I went out WOW that year (1979-80)...

1) oldiesman started the thread, and had the opening post. You can tell it wasn't me, because it was heavy on the AI content. 2) If, for some reason, someone thinks me and oldies are the same person, we're not. There's still a few people who've met us both (like Raf) and there was a time on this board, long ago, where we tended to be diametrically opposed on many threads, almost to the point of a fist fight. (Had we been in a bar or something, I was sure at least once it would have escalated to the alley outside.) We still disagree on quite a bit, but not to that degree. 3) Actually addressing the question, Although not an official Harvest Festival, I think that the State Fair or County Fair practiced in a number of places acts as a de facto Harvest Festival. The traditional events include judging produce (like pumpkins) and livestock (like hogs) and contests like pie eating and so on. I know the one in Texas, at least, is in early October- possibly to avoid conflicting with Thanksgiving, and with Halloween. But for a place not dependent upon a harvest, it's pretty close to a harvest time. If it's a coincidence, it's an interesting one.

"Took a walk and passed your house, late last night..." George

Korea also has a version of Thanksgiving called Chuseok. Chuseok in Korea - All about Korean Thanksgiving

I think U.S. only celebrates Thanksgiving as a national holiday so those who wish to use that day as equivalent to Sukkot/Feast day probably do that...

Do US citizens customarily celebrate Harvest Festival? Would be approximately equivalent to Sukkot/Feast of Ingathering in OT. A celebration of the end of harvest and the year's fruitfulness, and preparation for the longer hungrier winter months. (I know US "thanksgiving" as now practised has a bit of a different history, but even from WW's opening post, it appears that that thanksgiving was based on harvest festival)

It is "All Star".

At least I know he's a he. He he.

I believe that's "All Star." Not on my usual playlist, but I have heard it several times recently. George

Well, the site was down for one of them. I've actually seen (or heard, as a voice actor) him in a number of films. George

Kevin Bacon is correct. Chip Diller was his role in Animal House; Ren McCormack in Footloose George

It seems, as of late, George, we are the only ones playing......well there was that pause for nearly a week, wasn't there? Proud Mary "Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold"

And you wonder why it took 3 weeks?? Colin Firth The King's Speech Helen Bonham Carter

A Few Good Men's Kevin Bacon. I wonder if he eats bacon?

"The Battle of the Sexes" had Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in straight sets. When and where did this take place? Just give the year, not the exact date, unless you remember it. George

Of course.

For those of you not US citizens, happy Thursday.

Thanks!
