Greatest Amazon Review, ever?

I was upset he didn't like "Cold Gin" and "Parasite" as much as the rest, I was always partial to those two.

Anyone out there like to drink tequila?

Why not my first review you ask?, January 31, 2005
Reviewer: Rich King's Breakfast Nook (East Gretna, NE) - See all my reviews

Because you really have to be on your game to try to put into words the sheer mass of Hasselhoff. Hoff isn't just the best male vocalist out there, he embarrasses the field. Anyone that just skips ahead and buys the greatest hits without buying all of the man's albums is a poser and should be covered with syrup and kicked by toddlers in front of Super Walmart. That being said, this truly is the best of the best. I remember getting my first Hoff album when I was 17. I still had dreams of being a recording star like Rick Astley, but after hearing Hoff I decided there is no point because the blueprint had been written. I would only be copying the master. The genius of the man is that he can take fans of all genres; rap, country, prance metal, sponge, rap or jazz and make them all realize that there is music on another level. Everyone can find a common thread to enjoy. In that way, Hasselhoff is bigger than Coca cola. They would've liked to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, but they never quite completed that mission. Yeah, they got about 200 people to stand on a hilltop and sing together, whoooptefreakingdoo, Hoff packs 150k ethnically diverse people in stadiums each night. He's Billy Graham meets Elvis. The man is his own planet with moons like Astley, Aiken, Tesh and Manilow orbiting around him. He's Hasselhoff.

Reviewer: G. Broyhill "Hassel Scoff" (Hell, Michigan) - See all my reviews


I am now on my 14th copy of this incredible, wonderful, marvelous, sensuous, astonishing, mind-blowing, fantastic, prodigious, huge, phenomenal, stupefying, inconceivable, incroyable, unglaublich, glorious, ersatz, pleasant, insipid, tasty slab of scorching sonic ambrosia. Those who doubt the ascendancy of 'The Hoff' are truly the boorish offspring of feral land-trolls. The track "Hot Shot City" is particularly tempting.

Simply Sublime, January 26, 2005
Reviewer: gavin coughlan (Ireland) - See all my reviews

When I was making the love with my lady, she say I best man in world. But no I say, you forget the Hoff, king of all who do live. She say, 'who is this Hoff, is this same Baywatch Hoff?'. 'Ah yes', I say, 'but many facets do belong to the Hoff', and I slap shiny Hoff disc on record machine. She was transported through many emotion and mental dimension. I watch her eyes glaze in wonder at the Hoff and his silky leather voice. She now love the Hoff more than me, but I not mind as the Hoff has many women of better quality to choose, so she still make the love with me.

American dream, January 25, 2005
Reviewer: Al-Zarquarwi (Baghdad, Iraq) - See all my reviews

I used to be an Iraqi insurgent but after attacking and blowing up the lastest road block I stumbled upon what I can only describe as nirvana - David al-Haselhoff's greatest hits. Why oh why was this walking god amongst men not sent to us before? When I played it on a looted stereo I was instantly struck by the melodies that could only have been sent to earth by angels, I was sent into a frenzy of excitation that could only be previously achieved by shooting Americans.

I have now given up my bloody resistance and have pledged to become German.

The track 'Hot Shot City' is particularly good.

Glad he calls this song exactly what it is.

Why do I have the feeling that this Papa Roach album is neither limited edition nor likely to sell out?

I'm putting this on my headstone.

Experimental folk rock work, January 26, 2001
Reviewer: Tsai Chi Hsin "horotone" (Pan Chiao City, Taipei Hsien Taiwan) - See all my reviews

One group had its two phases,One maybe before "Earthspan"(1972) ,One after "Earthspan"?It's a lot of albums on the first phase were extended tradition folk tune to cling their hippie free form rock.Loosely and forgettable,But those albums were criticized frequently are their best.And the critics have thrown the albums of the second phase away,But what I snuffed more energies or crystallization from "Earthspan" than others?I have played "Earthspan" again and again but not often by mostly acclaimed "Wee Tam","The big huge"(both in 1968),"The hangman's beautiful daughter(1968),With the 5000 spirits Or the layers of the onion(1967).These aforementioned albums all had precious lyrics,But actually that the musical contents were poor.Non seriously composing and sang those inconsistent,Could manufactured pieces in large quantity.For one taste,Only the album "Earthspan",Could have compared my expectation,A fair smells would seeped out of the songs like:"Sunday song","Sailor and the dancer".New additional drum sound improving the pieces and mixed from a deeper scale's new male vocal and the doctrine-believer-like female vocal.This is a better or the best one of their lightweight works of 60s!

Whoa, well since that's the case I'd better pick this CD up right away!

Deffibrilation for the soul., November 13, 2003
Reviewer: "jeenathee" (Texas) - See all my reviews
Let's be honest here. We all know that Don Johnson is talented, nay, divinely gifted. His performance in 'Miami Vice' was what I like to call a 'Miami Virtue,' and as for his voice-acting in the flawless 'G.I. Joe: The Movie?' "Golly!" is all I have to say about that.
Could there have been any doubt that this man's voice was an untapped well of rugged ululations meant not to grace the lowly auditory canals of mankind, but to overwhelm and silence the archangels and the godless alike in repentant tears of joy and rapture?

I think not.

Do yourself a favor. You must. I implore you. Buy 'Heartbeat [IMPORT],' and...live.

*DIVINE* *TREASURE* *A JOURNEY*, April 24, 1998
Reviewer: A music fan
As the digital chaos in its mindlessness produces the sounds of its very own antithesis a life, a gift if you will, is born and incubated in the womb of desire and interest. It is the very birth of a remarkable astral journey whose horizon is studded with passionate flames of idea, wisdom, self growth, human evolution, and most importantly spirituality minus the connotation of it's self aggrandizing materialism and instead saturated in compassion, introspection, and the glowing start of a path. This path is the minister that weds the art of sound with that of philosophy in an invention that broadens the very ground before you. A fundamental gift of free thought and unity from these weavers and alchemists of sounds. The phenomenal saturating energy whispers. Listen...

I SAY THIS AND IT IS TRUE

"I LOVE THIS CD...REMINDS ME OF MY FAT DAYS...KICKIN' BACK WITH A TWINKEE AND JAMMIN OUT TO JOEL, WINGS, ELO, KISS AND KANSAS...OH THOSE WERE THE DAYS- HUNGER BUSTERS AT THE DQ AND LISTENING TO THE FLOYD ON FM RADIO.

First rate, July 4, 2002
Reviewer: Henry Raddick (London UK) - See all my reviews

As treasurer of a small obesity support group with charitable status I am always looking for ways to raise funds, and at times it's a real drag. But this book really does put the "fun" back into fund raising. Financially we're having the best year ever, and that's not even counting this Autumn's Butter-Chug, which should be good for £1000 after expenses.

It's like your soul is huffing paint, July 10, 2004
Reviewer: Beau J Pinkham (Iowa City, Iowa United States)
I admit I have not listened to this album, in any physical sense. Last night, I took a moderate amount of opiates and stretched out on a bed of fine silk. I was tired, physically and mentally. My new kitten, Whiskers, licked my hair until I fell into a small trance.

An angel borne upon the back of silver whale erupted from my ceiling and hovered before me, naked and imperious. The cherubic face of the angel shined down on me, and I began to weep. He said only one thing:

"Listen."

And I did. I stared into his face for the entire time, his smile an even better drug than I've ever experienced before, and I listened.

When I woke up, I knew, just KNEW, that the angel was David Hassehloff, and the beautiful music that played as he copulated with my soul was his latest CD.

So please, buy it.

The master returns!, November 10, 2003
Reviewer: Matthew Tomich (Chapel Hill, NC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This compilation's long-awaited release could not have been timelier, as the fertile soil that Rick Springfield's prolific and visionary songwriting tilled almost three decades ago has given birth to the most vanguard acts today. Springfield's extensive influence is palpably overt in bands such as Broken Social Scene, Fischerspooner, and The Rapture, all who will undoubtedly make critical tastemakers' year-end lists. Some could argue that this package's release is only to cash in on having his name dropped in high-profile interviews in Magnet, but for faithful fans, it's a long overdue endowment. The sixteen tracks here run the full gamut of Springfield's career - every anthem, burner, and couple-skate you heard on Z-92 ("The Rock!") or over the loudspeaker at Putt Putt Mini Golf is here in all its Trans Am-blaring, soundtrack-ready glory. The compilation's digital transfer, credited to Mike Hartry, is dynamic and astounding: it's all here, everything from the blistering cascading guitar solos in "I've Done Everything For You" to the stadium-level amounts of reverb in the drum breakdown in the chorus of "Love Somebody". There are a few clunkers from his late-career overtly commercial gambits, such as "Don't Walk Away", which includes a cliche' wailing sax solo straight from the hospital scene in any cop buddy movie. But from the proto-emo anthem that spawned a thousand bands in "Love Is Alright Tonight" to the beginnings of the burgeoning electroclash movement in "Human Touch", Springfield once again defines himself as the father of today's fertile independent rock underground. Get this before those dorks at Pitchfork act like they discovered this masterpiece and you're an inept fool for not having heard it first.

Baba O'Riley!, December 8, 2000

Reviewer: Ingvar Loco Nordin (Nykoping Sweden) - See all my reviews
When it comes to Terry Riley one tends to shoot up out of the savannas and veer out into a void of round suspended shapes at the rendezvous of necks and noses in space bent, but we make a serious effort and hold on - helium light - just above the green masses of leaves in the jungles of South America, where the moisture boils up in the thermals in gigantic mile high hammerheads of roaring thunder, while piercing shrieks from apes and parrots cut through the auditory canals.

We soar with ease out over the savannas of Africa, where the gleaming grass is bending in the breeze, and we see zebras like black and white xerox copies move in small grazing herds. But we know nothing with certainty - only that we are elevated across the landscape, in steep dives that sometimes are dizzying. We shoot out into the air space between the walls of Grand Canyon, but soon perform an air show above the gardens of Versailles, where educated people of the 18th century restfully converse at a slow walking pace.

It's Persian Surgery Dervishes at Le Théatre de la Musique in Paris May 24th 1972. Riley plays an electric organ, tuning the mind into Eastern hypnosis through the warmth of the night. He weaves a wondrous pattern of purple and gold around our conceptions, and a golden Buddha figure with legs crossed rises above Paris with worlds of enigmatic secrets in his eyes.

Riley's fingers across the keyboard tickle the back of the head, and an intoxication that borders on the total presence of the instant of the orgasm washes through the cerebral cortex. Fingertips and eyelashes glow and vibrate in the mind's merger with the Great Spirit, in the merger of the drop and the ocean, in the breathless oneness with all living.

A steamroller rumbles across smoking asphalt, a tank shoves trees and cars on it's way to vengeance, an eighteen wheeler roars three days on end from New York to San Francisco, a space shuttle rises in majesty over the swamps of Florida, a God walks in disguise, and fingers dance in naked ecstasy across the keyboard in Paris a night in May.

Riley O'Baba!

The insane micro-scraping polishes the skulls of Cambodia bony white, where they lye, piled up in heaps, as reminiscences of the evil inclinations of the human spirit, and the reliefs of Angkor Vat, encompassed by the growing grass, take on a lustre around their contours, as if Jehovah himself was participating.

Simultaneously the flood lights sweep across the Parthenon of Pallas Athena on Acropolis, and the search lights of a 747 light up the airstrip in New Delhi, just as the heavy tonnage roar in above the runway and sets the wheels onto the concrete with a sigh of relief.

The sub-bass of Riley's organ builds brown winding tunnels of infrasound deep down in the earth, through clay and pileworks, and the audience out in the darkness of the May night hovers a few inches above their seats on this magical mystery tour with Baba O'Riley.

An army of blue jeans march up Champs Elysées. A horde of khaki shirts gushes out of a side street into the jeans march, and a kaleidoscopic dream takes off between the boulevard trees, sweeping forth above the absinthe-longing restfullnesses of the sidewalk cafeterias.

The engines murmur softly under the hoods of open convertibles gliding along the sidewalks like servo-steered beetles. Deep down an alley a Strindbergian Inferno-memory ducks away under the pulses of Baba O'Riley, and a Stig Dagerman cult is biding it's time in the suburbs.

777 shiny green colibris stand immobile in the air in front of 777 stark yellow flowers in Panama, and a swarm of butterflies explode above a parking lot outside a super market in Waxahachie.

An overfed Texas accountant with a cigar between his lips and a stetson on his head stops on his way to the V8 which embraces 375 horsepowers under the merciless glare of the sun.

Riley O'Baba! Baba O'Riley!

In Paris Riley slices thin layers of the night sky above Place de la Concorde and rolls them up into tacos filled with arithmetics and eastern spices, and in the red soil of Palestine ancient scrolls rest undiscovered under the settlers' whitewashed houses in the occupied territories. A shiny metallic cylinder shoots out of the ground at Place Pigalle; the traffic stops to a halt, and the people well out of their cars to listen.

Riley O'Baba! Baba O'Riley!

A cargo ship rounds Cape Horn, and the champagne corks fly through the salty air of the sea. The albatrosses soar with motionless wings over the last outposts of the Falklands, and in a tenament room on 89th Street on Manhattan a construction worker from Ohio suffers fever hallucinations while Baba O'Riley looks for an entrance to the fifth dimension high up in the register of the electric organ.

Down in Antarctica the edge of the ice calves, and big icebergs are launched in rumbling slow-motion. A thought is born out of a crack in the Greenland inland ice, and the thought is as thin as 18th century silk, and as strong as the Arabs' love for Om Kalsoum.

The ringed plovers in Karelia leave hieroglyphic messages in the sand on the shores of distant spruce-needle-black islands of Lake Saimaa, and far across the waters a beach hammock shines raging red , like a land mark for hung-over fishermen.

At Porkala farm a golden frog-totem stands, and in it's shadow the treacherous connoisseur, the panic poet who is the slayer of ants, lurks with the oral cavity filled with the unborn, the stillborn and the immature, but in the wilderness of the forest he picks a bouquet for the swirling mosquito dance of the porch, and from the far away beaver dam the sharp shrill of a Phylloscopus collybita cuts through the wind of the bay. In the dusk of the sauna the storyteller from Sarkisalmi, with her hair wild and her body gleaming with sweat, is ascending through the steam like a fairytale being out of the Karelian raven forests, where the memories of Vainamoinen's fleeing Aino and Lemminkainen's loving mother grow wild in the scent of the wild rosemary across the bogs.

The light of night hums goldleaf-thin over the silver strokes of mist along the glass surface of Lake Saimaa. Under the airy dome of night, owl-dreamy border forests halt before the beavery loon-call-expanses of Lake Saimaa, and the call of the cuckoo rises out of open straits. A woodcock sweeps orrk-orrk-ptssiing just above the tree tops, and in dim ditchbanks beyond the gardens the marsh marigolds glow in the cool moisture of the night. The swifts dive in steep slants round the bastions of Savonlinna.

In the Porkala cabin the crackling of the birchwood fire mixes with the faint jingling from the storyteller's knitting needles and the transparent silver ringing of Shivkumar Sharma's santoor hammers in Raga Karjala, while the timeless folkloristic tapestries of Lake Saimaa's night nail the Porkala people firmly in legendary gracefulnesses.

The Finnish icon painter with her marten-hair brush is leaning towards the faint breathing of the window, and in Paris Terry Riley pours spirit into matter while virgin worlds rise out of the organ.

In the constellation of the Lyre a super nova gulps unknown worlds, and in the thin air of Lhasa a thought transforms into action while the salty yak tea washes through Tibetan monkthroats. In southern Jordan the cardamom for the coffee is grinded in the bronze mortars of the Bedouin tents, and the fragile sound falls like cognac coins through the chilly desert night.

Screwed out of the contexts the existentialistic spinning top races through the ages. Phase shifted God hurries away between the galaxy clusters with the collected genes of humanity in a trimble, and Terry Riley builds fairytale castles with towers and pinnacles in the soap bubble bubbling organ minimalism at Théatre de la Musique.

An incredible pressure rests over the point in Universe which is Terry Riley, and he incises Zorro marks in the velvet dome of the Parisian night sky with the sharpest tones of his organ, and Cosmos bleads over Creation.

Riley O'Baba! Baba O'Riley!

Where Things Seem to End Up, January 26, 2009
By George B. Sears (Cedar City, UT USA) - See all my reviews

A few years ago AC had an album called Feels. I added one song from that album, "Grass", to my Pop/Rock playlist. At this point people who grew up with Rock, Beatles and Stones, were trying to understand new music. Well, Feels showed a talented group of people but it was a little hard to take.

I think it is interesting to compare 'Grass' to 'Bluish'. Grass has a tremendous amount of energy, but the song is a little nasty. It might be at a 12 year old's emotional level, something like that. Bluish is a lot more mature, just the impressions you get from the words.

In many ways Bluish is one of the best Rock songs ever written, at least in the kind of pop-like genre of youngish love. It's better than "Oh, Yeah" by Ash, but in the same vein. How people choose to categorize the fusion of sounds seems to get a little silly. In the past there were relatively straight bands like, say, Creedence Clearwater, and bands that were playing with sounds, like Beatles and Beach Boys, even the Bonzo Dogs, in a different vein.

If you take the way AC put together so much of rock over 50 years, this song 'Bluish', and most of the album, is strong enough to say they are really creating something better, if not new. The way they weave elements of the Beatles and Beach Boys, plus a lot of lesser bands, is terrific because there is so much complexity to the songs, so many layers, and the technical aspects of molding and melding the various elements is so good, even great. There is a fuzziness to the music, but there is also a lot of clarity. The transitions in Bluish, just as an example, are great. The voice floats over the tune almost perfectly.

People who live 'in the past' of Rock should probably listen to M83, AC, and maybe Deerhunter or Death Cab for Cutie. These groups that are so good at musical composition. If a song is running out of gas in 2 minutes, the artists are not that great. Time is not a final test, but anyone who can write a 5 minute song that is compelling knows how to do a lot of things.

In the past, musicians OD'ed on drugs or just flamed out. These days, it seems, groups grow and become more musically adept. They have more depth, over time, though sometimes they go in odd directions. Groups like Coldplay, that get too oriented to the hit parade (it seems) don't always seem to grow so well.

In the end, a song like Bluish should be a chart topper. I don't know if that wounds the Indie cause or what, but it's a great song. 'Also Frightened' is very good.

So now we know Geir lives in Bolivia.

5.0 out of 5 stars I now am a HULKAMANIAC!!!, September 27, 2005
By A. Greene "Commander Cool" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
When I first listened to this album I was speechless. The only words I was able to mutter at the end were "thank you". Man this Cd is AWESOME!!!. "Beach Patrol" got me so pumped up I went out and beat up my neighbor. The lyrics to "I want to be a Hulkamaniac are now written in my heart and I will live by them forever. "Hulkster in Heaven" is the highlight of this album. Man what a tearjerker. When it I first heard I wept all the way through it. But "Hulk Rules" helped bring that little kid out of the grave. Hulk Hogan is like a God now in my life. He is my mentor, teacher, and dominator in my life. I live and breathe this album. If you don't buy it the Hulkster will be "bad to the bone" to you. You need to buy this album. It will change your life.

He was good in his time....., February 17, 2009
By Paul Dicocco "Dr. D" (Malverne, New York United States) - See all my reviews

Alright, I really don't care if anyone despises this review, but I have to say what must be said. And perhaps those who are not so fanatically Moz-crazed may sympathize with what I'm about to say about this latest album from the Pope of Mope.

After being a Morrissey fan for 8 years now, this is the album that has severed me from his loyal fan-base. So let's take a look at "Years Of Refusal" as a whole first, then get down to some specifics. Firstly, let me just say that as soon as Morrissey went all "hardcore alternative Rock", I knew the end was coming, and it didn't take long. He has to STOP trying to mold with the times and be like Green Day and all those other ridiculous alt-rock bands.

"Years Of Refusal" certainly has that alternative, "let's pound these drums until they break into pieces" feel to it, which is EXACTLY what Morrissey has to stop doing. In NO WAY is this album reminiscent of "Viva Hate" and "Vauxhall and I", and I can't BELIEVE there are reviewers on here who believe that this is his greatest album since "Vauxhall." C'mon people, give me a break. His greatest album since "Vauxhall" was YOU ARE THE QUARRY....THAT album was his comeback album, and he did it so well. The style of YATQ was Symphonic Rock...and it worked perfectly well for Morrissey. Ever since he went completely hardcore alternative rock (which we first got a taste of with Southpaw Grammar, and that failed miserably), it's been downhill. He did the alt-rock thing with most of Ringleader, and now it's back with Refusal.

And so..."Years Of Refusal"......best song on the album by far is "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris." Morrissey is in fine form here, with his lyrical genius at work, encapsulating his essence of lost love. Although it's a short track, it's very melodic and reminds me of Moz's earlier material. Well done on that track, Moz, and that's where the 2 Stars for this review comes from, just for that track.

"Something is Squeezing My Skull"....very alternative-ish, but this one works well because Moz is in tune with those drums. The lyrics are also great: the trilling when he sings SKULLLLLL, and then the whole wonderful psychotropic drug lyrics further on in the song...just great.

"All You Need Is Me" and "That's How People Grow Up"....I'll put these 2 songs together, because they're basically one and the same. Similar sounds to both of them, with the exception of a cowbell in "Grow Up." Ehhhhhh is the best review I can give for these songs.

The rest of the album I can't even listen to. The army-marching tune of "Mama Lay Softly on the Riverbed" just does not fit the lyrics and it sucks. Also note that the Spanish-sounding intro to "When Last I Spoke to Carol" doesn't fit the song at all...what the hell is up with this one? He should have just sung the whole song in Spanish. "One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell" isn't BAD, but I was hoping for some trumpeting in the beginning of the song....not bad lyrics, but this song had to have a grand opening to it. It then loses its intensity.

One further note...I can't believe I paid for more than a minute and a half of WORTHLESS DRONING garbage on "You Were Good In Your Time." What the hell is up with that?! It's terrible, and you DON'T do that in the music business. I still can't get over it....why waste precious recording time with nonsense crap like that? The end of "Rubber Ring" was AWESOME, but this ending? F'n stupid.

So to sum up, I'm very disappointed with this latest release. I will hereby never buy another new album by Morrissey ever again. However, I will continue to treasure all of his previous material, keeping his first few solo albums and You Are The Quarry very close to my heart.

And this one's for Moz, because I know some of his PR people are scoping out reviews of his latest release, reading Amazon.com US and UK for written reviews as well as elsewhere. So here we go Stephen Patrick Morrissey:

"WHEN LAST I SPOKE TO YOU, YOU WERE GOOD IN YOUR TIME. IT SEEMS AS IF A BLACK CLOUD HAS DRAWN ITS VEIL UPON YOU WITH THIS LATEST RELEASE. I'M SORRY THAT I HAVE TO THROW MY ARMS AWAY FROM YOU, AND I KNOW THAT DOESN'T HELP, BUT I MUST . . . I'LL BE OK BY MYSELF, REALLY. THE DAY HAS COME, SO GOODBYE AND FAREWELL."

(this is an excellent epitaph for him, by the way...ironic, isn't it?)

5.0 out of 5 stars The Secret saved my life!, December 4, 2007
By Ari Brouillette (Kensington, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Please allow me to share with you how "The Secret" changed my life and in a very real and substantive way allowed me to overcome a severe crisis in my personal life. It is well known that the premise of "The Secret" is the science of attracting the things in life that you desire and need and in removing from your life those things that you don't want. Before finding this book, I knew nothing of these principles, the process of positive visualization, and had actually engaged in reckless behaviors to the point of endangering my own life and wellbeing.

At age 36, I found myself in a medium security prison serving 3-5 years for destruction of government property and public intoxication. This was stiff punishment for drunkenly defecating in a mailbox but as the judge pointed out, this was my third conviction for the exact same crime. I obviously had an alcohol problem and a deep and intense disrespect for the postal system, but even more importantly I was ignoring the very fabric of our metaphysical reality and inviting destructive influences into my life.

My fourth day in prison was the first day that I was allowed in general population and while in the recreation yard I was approached by a prisoner named Marcus who calmly informed me that as a new prisoner I had been purchased by him for three packs of Winston cigarettes and 8 ounces of Pruno (prison wine). Marcus elaborated further that I could expect to be raped by him on a daily basis and that I had pretty eyes.

Needless to say, I was deeply shocked that my life had sunk to this level. Although I've never been homophobic I was discovering that I was very rape phobic and dismayed by my overall personal street value of roughly $15. I returned to my cell and sat very quietly, searching myself for answers on how I could improve my life and distance myself from harmful outside influences. At that point, in what I consider to be a miraculous moment, my cell mate Jim Norton informed me that he knew about the Marcus situation and that he had something that could solve my problems. He handed me a copy of "The Secret". Normally I wouldn't have turned to a self help book to resolve such a severe and immediate threat but I literally didn't have any other available alternatives. I immediately opened the book and began to read.

The first few chapters deal with the essence of something called the "Law of Attraction" in which a primal universal force is available to us and can be harnessed for the betterment of our lives. The theoretical nature of the first few chapters wasn't exactly putting me at peace. In fact, I had never meditated and had great difficulty with closing out the chaotic noises of the prison and visualizing the positive changes that I so dearly needed. It was when I reached Chapter 6 "The Secret to Relationships" that I realized how this book could help me distance myself from Marcus and his negative intentions. Starting with chapter six there was a cavity carved into the book and in that cavity was a prison shiv. This particular shiv was a toothbrush with a handle that had been repeatedly melted and ground into a razor sharp point.

The next day in the exercise yard I carried "The Secret" with me and when Marcus approached me I opened the book and stabbed him in the neck. The next eight weeks in solitary confinement provided ample time to practice positive visualization and the 16 hours per day of absolute darkness made visualization about the only thing that I actually could do. I'm not sure that everybody's life will be changed in such a dramatic way by this book but I'm very thankful to have found it and will continue to recommend it heartily.

I guess Eye probably would be horrified by the Ordinary Boys.

I'm a huge fan of the reviewer (link) who insists that Eric Clapton's nickname is Bodge and never (hardly) ever gets voted "helpful".

5.0 out of 5 stars How Bodge, April 22, 2004
By monkeytot (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One More Car, One More Rider (Audio CD)

A lot of people dont know how Bodge got his nickname here it is:

Eric Clapton was writting a song with John Lennon of the Beetles and John asked him what it was called and He thought Clapton said "Bodge" but he said something else (i forget). Anyway this kind of stuck as his nickname and he was Bodge forever since.

so, now you know...

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ROOTS OF BODGE!!! pEOPLE!!!, August 11, 2004
By monkeytot (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Very Best of Cream (Audio CD)
Here it is, Bodge Phase ONE!!! This is A PSychodellic band, so it might sound strange and not as modern to your ears, like CCR! It has all the hits WHite Room adn Tales of Brabe Ulysses, Ulysses, in case you didnt know, was a book by James Joyce, and not many people have read it, but it is The best one written. SO get this it should be called THE ROOTS OF BODGE!

Oh, this weekend I visited some old friends and we played a new game called the Bodge Game. heres how. You start by saying "Bodge Is" then a word with be the next person says "Bodge IS" and a word with O and so on. Well when it came around for my one friend to say Bodge is B--- he said "Bodge is Beautiful". Then there was a pause and my other friend called him a name that means bilingual but isnt so nice.

So Now you can play the bodge game and this will happen and when it does it is pretty funny!!

So now you know...

5.0 out of 5 stars I spot BODGE!!!, August 14, 2004
By monkeytot (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seinfeld: Seasons 1, 2 and 3 Giftset (includes Limited Edition Script, Monk's Salt & Pepper Shakers & Playing Cards) (DVD)

Doesnt anybody know if in the one episode where the girl, Elane(?) is dating a BRitsh man and he's kind of a dandy and a rouge always borrowing money. this is a traditional British kind of character back from Shakespear. Anyway, is the ACTor playing him BODGE?!??! Someone told me it was, then someone else said that that person was just messing with me only he used the f word for it. But if is IS Bodge why doesnt he act more. He is funny, PEO-PLE!! Oh, How bout a show Where Bodge is all serious in his suit and beard and Jerry sienfeld go on adventures and situations and at the end jerry says, "Well Bodge, this is another fine mess we're in, thanks to you." And people will laugh because it is a tribute to Laura and Hardy!!

If you like my ides, great, but dont steal it, because its mine.:)

1.0 out of 5 stars recorded in a shoe box!!, April 22, 2004
By monkeytot

This review is from: Robert Johnson: The Complete Recordings (Audio CD)
This stuff is horrible!!! The mix is all wrong and the recording sucks!!! I cant even hear the gitar!!! Get Bodge's version instead!! Get ANY-THING by Bodge instead!!!

and those are just a small sampling

Tales of Brabe Ulysses

Fans call this cd Hodge Podge Bodge because Bodge is all over the place with different styles!

Now you know!

I thought the reviewer about 7 years old, but here's his amazon bio: Part time actor, extra, former coffee house employee, full time poet and philosopher, future movie director and screenwriter, artist and music expert. That's me. Also am working on my acting career. My goal is to get on a series like Friends and do some voice over work on a show like king of the Hill and maybe a movie opr two in the summers.

Dying laughing over here...

My friend Kevin and I finaly finished reading this great bio of Bodge 9whho is Clapton, peo-ple) and we did it together. Long into the night the two of us alternating chapters or paragraphs. We lived the triumph and joys and yes, the sorrow of Bodge! We even read part of it in his British accent!! And then did other accents because we are actor's! I read it as Neo from teh Matrix (duh!!!)! Sometimes after bodge disclose a secret me and Kevin would put the book down and disclose secreats about each other. Things we wanted only each other to know. Each other and Bodge

OMG

how many memes must a man type out.......

When I was a little boy, I'd imagine that whenever I had a problem SUPERMAN would swoop down and lift me up and he'd hold me in his STRONg arms as we fly throug the sky!!! The song SUPERMAn on this cd reminds me of those tiems.'

Hey! Wouldn't it be great it Bodge would sing the song Superman? Heres why. Now that I am older when I have aproblem I put on a Bodge cd and it "lifts me up." It's like I'm flying through the sky in Bodge's Strong arms. Instead of a cape He had that suit and Beard!!! And I am safe!!!

D:

I just go off the phone with Bodge and he said he was thinking about having a cotnest. To see who his biggest fan is, but you dont have to enter it because you KNOW who it is!!! The winner gets to have a day with Bodge and a SPECIAL concert and dinner with THE MAN himself!! My friend said that if I win I'd be eating a lot of tube steak. But tube steak isn't BRITISH. Probably I'd be eating a lot of steak and kidney pie (IT"S a real food, PEo-ple look it UP!!!)

lol @ "cotnest"

Tube steak in the cot nest!

This is A PSychodellic band, so it might sound strange and not as modern to your ears, like CCR!

Aliens.

OH man:

as a reviewer for Amazon sometimes you have to review things that you dont normally lsten to. Peo_PLE you have to be living under a rock for the last 5 years to NOT know who EMINem is!! And on Novemeber 16 His new one ENCOre, the sequel to the SHOW DROPS and PEOPLE, it is going to be BIG!!! ALso, for those who dont know He ISNOT named for the candy, but for his name Marshall MAthews (two m's) and before that his name ws Rabitt. Just so you know..

Now for my review. From the samples, its pretty good, i guess, but I liek classic rock like Dillon and Bodge, so this isnt my cup of tea. But come on PEO_PLE!! iT"S M! I'll post a review of Encore when it drops and let ya iknow what i think of it too.

....Dillon!?

hahahaha as soon as i saw this thread i was going to mention the extreme hilarity of the reviews of bratz dolls, myscene dolls, etc. i am so glad this genre of amazon.com reviews has already had representation in this thread.

my favorite reviewer from that whole group is "Chelsea Churro"; this is her review of the bratz cd "rock angelz"

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY, A DOLL MUSIC C.D.!!!, October 31, 2005
By
Chelsea Churro "#1 Peacekeeper" (My Scene & Bratz) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rock Angelz (Jewl) (Audio CD)
I have ben waiting for a dolls C.D. forever. I love this C.d. I listen to it ***~E~VE~R~Y~*** single day. I can't pick a favorite, CUZ' EVERY SONG HAS SO MUCH MEANING TO IT!!!

1."SO GOOD"-This song talks about what it feels like to be a rock star. Bratz teach girls that you can follow your dreams, and when you do, it really feel great. That's what the title is about. It really is "So Good" when you follow your dreams!

2."Change the World"-This song talks about how you want to make a difference in the world. If you be shy and hide, nothin's gonna' happen'! But if you open up, be BRAVE & INDEPENDANT, you can "Change the World"!

3."I Don't Care"- This is a song about love. It's a good song also. It sends out a message that if you love someone, don't let ANYTHING else get in the way. If your friends don't like that prson, or if he/she isn't very popular, it doesn't matter. Just tell them, "I DON'T CARE"!!!

4."All About You"-This is a song, completly different from #3, about love. Don't love someone for their clothes, popularity, money, etc. Just love them for who they are. Because in the end, it is "All About You".

5."Who I Am"-This is a REALLY IMPORTANT song about popularity, prejudice, racism, ya' know, JUDGEMENT? If you don't know someone, then don't judge them. Don't spread rumors about them. Don't hurt them for no reason. Get to know them, and you'll find somethin' good inside. After all, people shouldn't judge meor WHAT I am, they should judge me for "Who I Am", right?

6."So What"- I DEFIANTLY can relate to this song. If I don't fit in w/ a crowd, they make fun of me. They torture me. I don't fit in. So, I DON'T CARE. I casually reply, "So What"? Yea, it doesn't really matter. Cuz' if every one was the same, WOW, that would be weird. "~" FREAKY!!!

7."You Think"-Have one of your friends EVER thought they were better that anyone else, or started acting ReAlLy WeIrD? Ya, well, that isn't right. They're gonna regret it. And it's not gonna be pretty. Except, your REAL friends will ALWAYS be there for you.

8."It Could Be Yours"-Whatever dream you have, any goals or ambitions, follow them. And don't look back. Work hard, follow your dreams, believe, AND LIVE YOUR DREAMS. This is yt another GOOD lesson from Bratz.

9."Lookin' Good"-Don't optimistic people ALWAYS drive you crazy? Yep, well, sorry, but they are 100% C-O-R-R-E-C-T!!! There's always a silver lining___________ for every dark rain cloud. This is a famous saying. And it's true. Even on the DARK SIDE, things can still be "LOOKING GOOD"!

10."Rock The World"- This song is spicially dedicated to the Bratz. They ofter look back on their success, and think how they really rocked. And, boy, they DID! Don't hide your special talents. Work em' girl! If you do that, I know you can "Rock The World". So whatcha' waitin' for?

11."Stand Out"-So you know you're special, you know you're different. Don't cry about it! Ya' gotta' be proud of what you have. Show it off. Standing out isn't always bad. If you be yourself, then it's good that you "StAnD OuT"!.!.!

12."Nobody's Girl"-Is your boyfriend playin' games. Is he totally tryin to control YOU & your LIFE? Well, SOR-RY! Ain't gonna' happen. You control yourself. Nobody else does. You are your own person, and you have TOTAL control of your life. If not, get right oin their face and Say it Girl-Friend. Say, "I'm Nobody's Girl"! Cuz' it's true.

13."Se Siente"- As if EvErYoNe didn't already know, this is "So Good" in Spanish. Has a nice ring to it. All I can say...

14."Grow Up"- This is a song for me, and the Bratz! If you ar any kind of doll collecter, doesn't it bug you how people think you're 'immiture' & 'childish'???WHAT!!! You may be EVEN MORE MATURE than most girls your age!Or guys, men, women...Anyway, JUST TUNE THEM OUT. BLAH BLAY BLAH! I'M NOT LISTENING! BLAH BLAH BLAH! I CANT HEAR YOU! BLAH BLAH BLAH! ALL I HEAR IS BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!! Don't EVEN tell me "Grow Up"! You DID NOT just go there.

So, Bratz, the O_N_L_Y girls with a passion for fashion, have inspired girls around the globe to do great things. Buy this album? Yea & listen to possibly the WORLDS GREATEST ROCK BAND!!!

Chelsea Churro(My Scene/Bratz Fan;Peacekeeper)over, & OUT!!!!!

SOME REVIEWERS HAVE NOTED THAT SOME OF TONGMASTERS PRODUCTS ARE "STRON ON TASTE" AND WARN TO TAKE IT EASY ON QUANTITY.

I DISAGREE, DON'T TAKE IT EASY. THEY ARE STRONG ON TASTE BUT NOT IN A BAD WAY. DESPITE BEING A DRIED PRODUCT THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT IS STREETS AHEAD OF THE TINY SHWARTZ OR OWN LABEL DRIED HERBS AND SPICES IN SUPERMARKETS.

THESE ARE CLEARLY MANUFACTURED IN A BETTER MANNER AS THEY ARE NOT "UNIFORM" LIKE SUPERMARLETS THINK WE WANT........ THE GRANULES/GRAINS/FLAKES ETC ARE OF VARIED SIZE AND THE STRENGTH OF FLAVOUR IS BECAUSE THEY ARE "MUCH MUCH FRESHER PRODUCTS". tHEY DO NOT TASTE LIKE THEY HAVE MASS PRODUCED AND OVER DRIED AND BLED OF THEIR FLAVOUR. THE REAL FLAVOURS COME THROUGH WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF HAND CHOPPING. WHICH IS A BLESSING FOR ME AS DISABILITY LEAVES ME WITH CUT FINGERS AND CHOPPED OF FINGERNAILS ALL TOO OFTEN.

I HAVE MADE SOME BEAUTIFUL FLAVOURED OLIVE OIL WITH THE TONGMASTER PRODUCTS I HAVE BOUGHT AND THE FLAVOUR IS INTENSE AND FULL ON IN A SHORT TIME, PROVING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PREPARED IN A MANNER THAT HAS PRRSERVED A HIGH CONTENT OF THE ORIGINAL NATURAL FLAOURS OF THE INGREDIENTS.

i WAS ASTOUNDED AT THE SHEER VOLUME YOU GET FOR THE MONEY TOO, i COULD GIVE AWAY WHAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PUT INTO GRINDERS AND MY SPICE RACKS AS I STILL HAVE ABOUT 40% OF THE PRODUCTS LEFT, AND THESE ARE STILL BETTER VALUE THAN THE LITTLE GLASS POTS FROM SHOPS. PLUS IF YOU DON'T WANT THE INTENSE FLAVOURS THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, THEN YOU WILL ALSO USE LESS. NO PROBLEM THERE THOUGH AS THE BEST BEFORE DATES ARE OVER A YEAR LONG.

BUY SMALL FIRST TO GAUGE WHAT YOU WILL GET, I AM SURE LIKE ME YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASANTLY SURPISED.

OH AND BY THE WAY, i ORDERED THEM IN THE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING ON A THURSDAY AND THEY CAME BEFORE LUNCH ON FRIDAY! NOT EVEN 48 HOURS ON FREE DELIVERY. FAB SERVICE, CAN'T WAIT TO SPEND MY MOENY WITH TONGMASTER FOR SOME MORE PRODUCTS WHEN BAR-B-Q SEASON STARTS :-)

KEEP UP THE GREAT SERVICE AND WHATEVER YOU DO IN YOUR MANUFACTURING DON'T CHANGE IT, I'LL NEVER BUY SUPERMARKET JARS AGAIN ESPECIALLY SCHWARTZ OVERPRICED LOW ON TASTE OVER PROCESSED TAT (IN COMPARISION TO THESE GOODS)

VERY HAPPY I READ THE REVIEWS AND DECIDED ON TONGMASTER AS THE PLACE TO BUY FROM :-)

This Book *WILL* *NOT* Help You Find Your Soul Mate

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
A Disappointment

I am a user of OKCupid, and have used other dating sites in the past, yet I am still single. My intention, upon reading this book, was to learn ways in which I could improve the effectiveness of my search for a soul mate. This book is practically useless for that purpose.

The author, Christian Rudder is married, so the topic of finding one's soul mate isn't very interesting to him, and he pays little attention to it in this book. Politically, he is a liberal, and as such wants to talk about practically nothing other than race and sexual preference, and the things he wants to say about them are entirely predictable given his political bias.

He claims to have data on how many sexual partners people have had. I've answered about 900 questions on OKCupid, but none asked me my number of sexual partners. And he concludes that male gays have about the same number of sexual partners as anybody else. This wildly conflicts with what I've heard from male gays themselves, and from what can be discerned from rates of transmission of STD's (not just HIV) among different groups. It's possible that the most promiscuous people meet each other in bars and bath houses and don't show up on OKCupid.

About race, he notes that black women and Asian men are the least sought-after quantities in the dating marketplace, something I knew before I started this book. Black men also fare pretty badly, which surprised me, because I had the impression that women of all races found them physically attractive. I was also shocked that Asian women weren't doing exceptionally well, but that may be just my own bias -- I am white, and have dated lots of Asian women.

I think about the guy shouting about peppercorns all the time

1.0 out of 5 stars thjere was no music on the CD.

By Mr. Stephen Vizinczey on 19 January 2013
Format: DVDVerified Purchase
What a shocking disappointment! It came right after the Tito Gobbi and Callas Rigoletto which was fantastic, and as Abado is one of my favourite conductor, I much looked forward to Abado's version of a neglected Rossini opera. I got the CD, it had the right package as in the picture, the side which showed what is on the CD was also properly printed, but on the side where the music is supposed to be THERE WAS NOTHING. THEY CLEARLY DID NOT PRINT THE MUSIC ON IT..

I have 2 CD players, one in either of the two rooms where I work and also have the DVD player attached to the TV in the living room. I often play my music disks on that. I tried ther disk out on all three machines. The CD remained silent, it was emptry..
This kind of thing never used to happen. But in the last 6 months or so about one in every 3 things i ORDERED WASN'T WHAT |i ORDERED, OR OR SOMETRHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CD.or the DVD. I had to phone Amazon, download the address label and take itto the post office. It is free, BUT TAKES TOO MUCH TIME! The time certainly cost me more than than what I had paid. So I said hell with it. I will get CDs in a store where I can check what is inside, if I get to a store before they all disappear. In the meantimer I'll listen to the CDs I got. This was the last CD I ordered on ther internet.
