Keith Waters-Sax — The Rotten Apples: Beach Party at the Orchard

The Rotten Apples, “the tightest out-of-tune band in the world,” had an antecedent in guitarist Keith Waters’ Belmont High School band (Belmont is a town just north of Boston). Even that early evolutionary ancestor of the current band blew effortless attitude in the face of the powers that be. Waters remembers playing a party at the Romney estate in town. “We didn’t like the party and we didn’t like Romney’s kids, so we left early and got back in our van.” The van was boxed in on the driveway, though. “We tried getting around the car in front of us but there wasn’t enough room.” They ended up leaving the vehicle on the grass and coming back for it the next morning…

Crazy to sit both Lloyd, fitz in favor of these guys?

Question by : Crazy to sit both Lloyd, fitz in favor of these guys?
I have the following

Larry fitz (philly- nmandi)
Brandon Lloyd (CLE- Joe Haden)
Julio jones (new orl)
Mario manningham (sf)
Laurent Robinson (buffalo)
Denarius Moore (already missed out)

Would it be crazy to play jones, manningham, and Robinson and sit both Lloyd and fitz given what their opposing corners are doing to number 1 wideouts? Or should I still play one or both of them given my limited options at the position? I’ll need to start three of the five (one in my TE/Wr slot). What should I do? Which three should I start?

Thanks and good luck

Answer by Jordan
I’d still play Fitzgerald and Lloyd, despite the CB issues you brought up. As for the third spot open, go Jones, he’s the go-to deep threat for Matt Ryan and has over 100 yards in all of his last four games that he’s finished.

Q&A: why did thelonious monk have trouble speaking?

Question by skip !: why did thelonious monk have trouble speaking?
if you hear Thelonious Monk speaking he barely pronounces anything and always mumbles. Does anyone know why he has trouble speaking? I mean the man taught himself piano, went to Juliard and heavily influenced jazz music. He is one of the main founders of be-bop So why does he mumble?

Best answer:

Answer by STAN V
Imo his mumbling fits his personality in that on record he has no reason to express himself with any clarity for the listener to understand, on some videos i have he speaks just the same mumbling away and those around him understand what he is talking about.

I also have extensive videos of Charles Mingus being interviewed in his New York apartment, ( in which he fires a rifle out of the window), and throughout he mumbles away about the pros and cons of his situation and life style,on his various live recording session his introductions are mumbled and difficult to understand unless you know what he is talking about, the same applies to Miles Davis on his live interviews he mumbles on in away that is difficult to understand.

What do you think? Answer below!
