That's on the Penguins, who did still have something to play for -- holding off Caps to stay above wildcard. If they embarrassed Crosby and company in that game, good for the side that came to play.

Interesting..anything in there about the Hot Club around 21st and South? It was the primary punk club and I saw Brian Setzer there with the Bloodless Pharohs...The L&I guy who used to go in there told me he had to write them up all the time for the sinks being broken off the walls due to them being used for quickies.

I do very much believe so, but cannot be sure. Wasn't there, so those names don't have the same resonance for me.

As Minnyhock mentions, goat can be very gamey. They are skittish animals who need to run around. As such, they have a lot of muscle on their bodies and less fat. For the same reason, they are more common in very warm climates. They also produce less meat than you think from the body (like goose).

As such, they are usually slow cooked to tenderize the meat. Goat is incorrectly called mutton in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia. There the cslow cooking is either in the form of a stew (curry/kurri) or marinated and cooked buried in rice (biryani). Througout that region, you also see fresh goat carcasses hung up in markets where consumers point to the part of the animal they want the cuts from. Other than that (to answer your question), in this country i have never seen goat meat be selectable by cuts except in a couple of places in the middle of very ethnic neighborhoods (Queens). Usually they are available as precut cubes with bone in.

That south asian tradition of cooking goat travcelled via the Brits to the parts of the caribbean they colonized: Jamaica/Barbados/Granada /Trinidad etc. The parts of the Carribean where British influence was not so strong/Spanish influence was stronger (Honduras/Dominican Republic/Cuba) also slow cook (in smoke pits ovens), but here the tradition seems to be to shred the meat (like pulled pork) and serve it in some kind of dough (tacos/burritos/empanadas etc).

If you want the former kind, many Indian restaurants in the area serve goat biryani/vindaloo (a very spicy curry influenced by the Portuguese who used vinegar in that dish, the sound of which was bastardized as vindaloo). However food of that genre in in this region is pretty average.

There is however a tremendous Indonesian restaurant in Philadelphia, possibly the best restaurant of any kind here, called Hardena, at Hicks and Morris I think. They make an Indonesian signature dish called Gulai Kambin, but it is not there on the menu every day. Need to call ahead. (That restaurant, btw, is so authentic that about a decade ago, when Indonesian dignitaries visited NY, the embassy sent a limo there to pick up food from Hardena's). Their gulai kambin meat just melts off the bones, it is so tender.

The Spanish Carribbean tradition is probably best manifested in South Philly Barbacoa. They only serve barbacoa over the weekend though I believe, and lines form starting at 6 AM or so. It is a nationally famous restaurant now, and featured in many food blogs etc so a legit tourist spot. Having said that, your close bud Black Hand thinks it is overrated.

Their first spot is across the street from me. I had it plenty of times. Its pretty good and the owners are great people but it is over hyped. Regardless, you wont be disappointed with it

I have zero Triumph in my library. Recommend an album (not a best of).
- Scoob
Allied Forces was their biggest album, but a few others are right there with that one.

The discussion was Triumph in comparison to the Stones. There are many, many musicians that you can say are better than the members of the Stones. Those with musical expertise can answer better. However as a band, no comparison. Longevity has nothing to do with it.


Here is the Rolling Stone magazine top 100 guitarists of all time. Keith Richards is #4 all time. Rick Emmet did not make the list. Mick Taylor was also in the top 40. It seems as though the musical world does not agree with you.

Who cares what the critics think. Pole most people on the street and Keith Richards wouldn't sniff the top 10 and Rik Emmet would certainly be in the top 100 if not much higher. I mean, the name of the magazine is Rolling Stone. Doubt there is much of a bias there?

I see what you are saying, but that list also has Johnny Ramone at #28, Bruce Springsteen, Alex Lifeson all the way down at #98, Lou Reed, Kurt Cobain etc.

Ric Emmet his head and shoulders above Keith Richards from a chops standpoint.

Hell, Johnny Ramone can barely play a guitar.

That list was more about accomplishment than ability.

- MBFlyerfan
Yep, Rik Emmet has forgotten more about guitar playing than Keith Richards knows. Of course, the name of the magazine is the Rolling Stone. Enuff said.

Kansas, another underrated band. Steve Walsh is in the top ten of rock n roll singers of all time.

That is speculation and it would be just as subjective as the list I posted. There isn't a bias in your opinion or anyone else's? Of course there is.

Out of the two, who has written more successful riffs and music?

The band, the Dylan song, and the magazine all stem from ...
