Big Blue Huddle

I have a hard time ranking anyone above Stevie Nicks, but that's probably due to how much I like Fleetwood Mac, and I would be the first to say that Fleetwood Mac was never about just one band member.

I have to admit, Shania puts a lot of energy and theatrics in her performances. It's just her personality...very upbeat in performances and can't stand still...it's who she is. She's definitely not the stand at the mike and sing type. She has a great story though. Grew up in Canada in extreme poverty. Her father left her mother and Shania and her two younger sisters. Her mother married a full-blooded Cree, and he raised her like a father would. They were so poor that Shania would pretend to eat at school because she was afraid Social Services would take her and her sisters due to lack of food. At 8-years old, she would sing in bars late at night after alcohol was no longer served. She would make about 20.00 a night doing that and give it to her parents so they could have food. In her teen years she joined a kid's band and got recognized for her songwriting and singing as was courted by big producers (similar to child star Swift), but Shania's mother and step-father were killed in a car accident about the same time she graduated from H.S. So she put music on the back burner to raise her younger sisters until the youngest graduated. After that, she went all out into music and only sold over 100 million records, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time and the best-selling female artist in country music history. A rags-to-riches story if there ever was one. She's called the "Queen of Country Pop". But as I was trying to point out, I don't think of her as a "rocker", just a country girl having fun performing

Let's hope

It's kind of an annoying game, but if I just keep looking for words and resist the temptation of using hints, eventually I find one that's part of the category, and then at that point you can look at the headline clue and the word you just stumbled upon and hopefully figure out the theme at that point. That's generally been how it's gone for me when I get it with no hints. It takes patience though and it gets a little tedious after a while sometimes.

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on Today at 02:45:59 PMI agree they had great voices (Mama Cass was in a league all her own), but I didn't think of them as "rockers". My list wasn't "complete" as I pointed out. Completely forgot about Ronstadt...loved her. she should be on the list. The others mentioned aren't really my idea of "rocker" differs from others

I mean, Shania Twain rocks more than Karen Carpenter by a thousand miles...and I didn't include her because even though she rocks the house down...I don't think of her as a "rocker", but she is cool 

And believe me, if you've never been to a country concert and compared them with a rock concert, country tends to be louder and rockier at concerts

Theatrics. Not even close!

Quote from: GloryDays on Today at 04:24:16 PMWin 60% of the games he starts and have decent QB stats.

"Decent" is good enough to be paying someone $40mm a year?

The Giants plan to transition Runyan back to left guard, a position he prefers and where he started the first six games of the 2022 season. During that period, Runyan gave up just four pressures and one sack. Notably, he did not allow a single pressure in the first five games, earning elite blocking grades. This performance showcases his potential to significantly enhance the Giants' pass protection.

Pairing Runyan with Andrew Thomas on the left side should provide a formidable barrier in front of Daniel Jones or whoever may be quarterbacking the Giants in the future.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on Today at 03:59:24 PMIs it common for teams to have someone as Head of Medical Services who isn't an M.D.?

I checked a handful of teams.   I couldn't find another team with the same title.
