It depends on the contracts they have with the promoters, record companies, etc. They may not be making all that much. Walt That is true. Many musicians over the years have gotten their eyeballs fucked out by the music industry. It's kind of funny when you think about it, they are relying on the industry that has screwed them to make sure they get paid and trying to screw the customers that have made them what they are.

If I bought a CD they got paid. As long as I don't make copies and give them away or sell them it is none of their business how I listen to that music.

Moving sucks all by itself. I hope you get to feeling better.

Do they have ear plugs in Canada?

Happy Birthday Walt

Oh I'm sure they have thought it through. My bet is they will be going after some kind of music tax to go with every MP3 player or Ipod that is sold.

Damn, if they keep going pretty soon you won't even be able to play the CDs you buy at the store. Stupid Fuckers!!! ( I hope none are users here) Just imagine how nice your music collection will be when you don't take them out to play them anymore.

What, no boobie pictures to go with your post?

Very nice.

I don't understand what makes people act like that around a "celebrity". They are just people.

Is it a full moon again?

Oh, it's that birthday. I had mine in February. No big deal

I think rebound sex is in order.

We all can only relate to our own experiences but I have to disagree with most any implied relationship, between competence and/or "experience".....and jump #s. From what I've seen, quantity tends to lead to complacency....repetition can be mind-numbing. Fewer but more varied jumps, can be more beneficial. Making 1000 jumps from the same plane, at the same altitude, at the same dz, under virtually the same conditions....that's just making 1 jump, 1000 times. It's the variations and the variety, that give you the most "experience". ...but that's all just my op. In general, the currency requirements are as per the dz....some are by-the-book and some are more casual. In many cases, you're as current, as the dz's bankbook says you are. I would like to know how many jumps you have. This is the only part of your post I can agree with. You also need to have a willingness to learn and listen. I made many of my 1800 jumps at the same DZ and there is no way I could say that they were all the same or mind numbing. Now ,if you are one of those people that don't want to listen to people and maybe no one would jump with you,I can see how you might get bored. Your notion that less is better is ridiculous. While I would agree with it on a scale of maybe 100 REAL coached jumps verses 500 weekend fun jumps. We are talking about the barest minimum in this thread. A new jumper just off AFF waiting 3 months to come back out to the DZ is not safe and should not be allowed to jump without recurrence training. Your notion that recurrence is tied to profit only is rediculous at best. New jumpers laying dead around the DZ is bad for business.

I know nothing.

Well how about Happy Get Presents Day.

He didn't like where the canopy was taking him so he cut away.

Well Lutz is not the king of the dumb asses anymore.

It really amazes me that we have to talk about this. Actually this should be another thread. In 1800 jumps,most video, I have never come close to hitting a tandem. I hit one 4-way team,only because they kept telling me they wanted me closer on exit. I can't believe that a DZ would let someone out with a tandem that was not 100%. What a small amount of money to be made for such a large risk.

So...I'm trying to figure out why this user name is still active???...???

It's lack of sex. Do you need any help.

My first thought would be, being advertised this far in advance there will be too many people there and I would come just to party.

Good for you.

If anyone knows I think that is something that should be shared in PMs.

We enjoyed lunch today.
