    i'm a little pissed at Bob Seger right now for re-recording "Mainstreet".

    there weren't nothin' wrong with the original.

    (but, yeah...you're thinking of "night moves". now, the Commodores had a song called "night shift"...)

    Love Bob Segar...but why would he try to fix what weren't broke? Sigh.

    sometimes people do that because they don't own the copyrights to the original recordings. more than a few artists have had to go into the studio and completely re-record new versions of songs because the record label owns the masters to the originals, and the artist has no rights to them. if they wrote the song and had at least some hand in the publishing of said song, they're at least in a position to earn writer and publisher royalties off the original recording, but labels are uncanny about making artists' sales royalties vanish into a sea of accounting paperwork after enough years go by.

    in a lot of these artists' cases (Gordon Lightfoot comes to mind), the labels that own the masters are no longer in business, but have been bought up by one of the two or three labels that are left today, and they're legally prevented from re-releasing their old titles, no one knows where the master tapes are, or there's simply no one left that's in a position to negotiate with.

    the music business is more crooked than a northern California mountain road. i'm not sure why anyone would get into it if they knew beforehand what lay in store for them.


    (and i'm not REALLY pissed at him...i get it. at least whoever played Pete Carr's guitar part did it the honor of playing it exactly as it was on the original. that's an iconic riff, right there.)

    @hamptontom -I actually know a tiny amt about royalties and such. My stepdad, who died almost 3 years ago, was Bill Dees. He cowrote the song "Oh Pretty Woman" w Roy Orbisin and toured with him in the 60s. Almost 3 years after his death, we've finally just gotten his estate settled. Do yeah, I know just enough to know I don't want much to do with that industry.

    Steak; knock it across the head, wipe its butt, and drag it across the coals, pausing slightly lol (rare side of medium rare). Hubby likes it killed twice. Blah

    Bill Dees - didn't he also write most of the music for that movie that Orbison did, too?

    They're not making 'em like him anymore. And Nashville is still full of guys like him...I run into old-timers around town every now and then who have great stories about the old days. I love the history of this place, but there ain't much left.

    Considering the paper trail of your stepdad's copyrights, I can't even imagine what you guys went through to get from point A to point B on his estate.

    @bethanie0825 I've learned not too long ago we kill the flavor of food by cooking it way too much. I've discovered I like my salmon and tuna still able to swim, too.

    I won't mess with poultry though.

    I saw this and it is an out and out LIE!
    I worked in a steakhouse for YEARS and the majority of people ordered it Medium-Well. It was disgusting.

    maybe i'm the outlier, but my taste would tend to fall between "wait..." and "..what are you doing?" on the chart above.

    not a fan of bloody meat. sorry. :)

    It's not blood though. The juice, while red in color, is technically not blood but a mixture of water and myoglobin (a protein in the muscle fibers responsible for giving meat its red color). Blood is actually removed during the slaughter process.

    ETA: Grammar is not my strong point before my second cup of coffee...

    Second ETA: You like your steak how you like your steak. As long as you can stomach what you've done to it without A1 or Heinz 57 or any other 'meat accents' then more power to ya.

    He actually wrote a good number of songs with him, I'm not 30+ I think. And yeah, between selling partial rights, my disabled mother having to fight his kids, and a botched Trust, it has been a long road. But she has enough income now to be relatively comfortable, so we are content with that.

    My parents like to cover their meat with sh** like that, while cooking at it. they actually get annoyed I cook my meat plan. I tell them add it at the end if you want, but I prefer to taste what I cooked, not the crap added on.

    My father always covers chicken on the grill with bbq sauce when I step away... drive me nuts because he knows I hate it. I mean it, covers.

    I like dipping cooked chicken in barbecue sauce after it's cooked. I tend to avoid most sauces now because I find they add a bunch of calories I don't REALLY need. I might work sauces back in when I'm in maintenance.
