Commented on Solution to AIG bonuses: a 90% tax on people who receive them
Notice: Family income above $250k. That means that two middle managers working for different companies would be hit with punitive taxes. In theory, a secretary working for AIG with a thousand dollar bonus would be taxed 90% because she is...

Whoa ... what memories! I'm wondering if anyone has any info about the bands in the early/mid/late 60s. I used to go to the Rugged Room, if anyone remembers it (on Alameda?). There's one band in particular I would like to find out if any recordings exist. Anyone remember "Fuzz", from Thornton? "Lothar and the Hand People"? KIMN radio had a battle of the bands at the Denver Arena downtown (gee, I think that was the name of it - it's now part of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts). Maybe there's a good website with this kind of...

stantoni, the missing line is "And we'll have fun, just you and me / on K... L... Z!" Also, more information about Jay Mack, Niles Lishness and Farley McLooth can be found on the internet. Some of it was surprising to me. I knew about his heart attack when he was doing an overnight show, but was somehow unaware of the car crash at the height of his fame that led to his later health problems, or that he died a few months after having his life saved by an alert listener. A sad end for one of two disk...

Mountain States Bank on east Colfax... They had a pretty catchy ad on the radio around 1982. I don't have the actual audio, but I soooo remember it: (Chorus group) Oh they say that time is money, so you spend it drivin' 'round, Drinking dollar gasoline and smellin' up the town, Searching for a parking place that you can call your own, (Woman's voice) Hey, there's a spot (Man's voice) Oh no it's not, it's a (honk honk) loading zone. (Chorus group again) Now, is this any way to bank, any way to bank? Driving 'round in circles while you're...
