Reviews for Wake me up when September ends LyricsPerformed by Green Day
By Pages: 1 2 3 4 Current page No. 2/ 4
Add Your New Review About The Song
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! | Reviewer: Bunny | 10/2/07
yup one of thier best songs apart from Good riddance (cant spell.) makes me cry!!! I knew a few people who had it played 4 their funerals. :(
reply to nnn | Reviewer: punkpsycho | 9/21/07
lol no, he wrote this about his father( who died of cancer) nothing to do with war
at the funeral billie cried, ran home and locked himself in his room. when his mother knocked on the door billie said, "wake me up when September ends" = the title.
when he says "7 years has gone so fast", he means how Sweet Children (Green Day's old name) formed almost exactly 7 years after his fathers death.
"20 years has gone so fast" is a tribute to when he wrote this song.
it was supposed to be released on Shenanigans, but billie was emotionally not ready to record it.
I would like to here you guy's comment | Reviewer: nnn | 9/7/07
Accroding to this part ''Here comes the rain again, Falling from the stars;''
Does this part mean falling bombs in war?
like Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Have you seen that rain'.
If so, is his father killed by war 10 years ago?
How do you think of it?

Arguably one of Green Day's top three songs up to date, and i don't think they will do any more that will be better than this, love the video, love the meaning, kinda makes me cry watching the video. Loving it all. Thank you Green Day.
this is great | Reviewer: puntepunk | 7/5/07
i like this song so much .this is my favourite bank grenday.ilike their stylewearing dress.
AAAWWEEESOMEEEE!!!! | Reviewer: avijit | 7/4/07
man!!! this number brings out the best of rock-----the ability to wring your heart.green day is a smash hit guyz!!! from the day i've heard this song,i always keep on singing it all the time........just can't get over it!!keep rockin green day!!
Wake me Up! | Reviewer: Cascada Fan | 5/9/07
I love this song, it's really sad and pretty. The instrumental and lyrics are all superb. I really don't like Greenday, but this song is so awesome! I'm going to listen to it again and again... Maybe check out some other Greenday songs. This one will always be the best!
one of the saddest songs you'll hear | Reviewer: firstname.lastname@example.com | 5/4/07
Greenday astonishes with just how far they've gone, catchy punk rock songs to out and out ballads like this
who would've thought they were capable of it
Never Forget What I've Lost | Reviewer: firstname.lastname@example.com | 5/4/07
whatever Billie Joe says about it being about his father 'Wake me up' will always be a 9/11 song to me, its the first thing i thought of when i first heard it, a song lamenting lost innocence, simpler times.
Very catchy and sad, unfortunately it was overplayed a bit on the radio but its still one of the best of 'American Idiot',taking a break from the story of St. Jimmy for this star struck interlude.
The music video further cements my recollections of this as a 9/11 song, one of the best videos ive seen, a couple torn apart by one's decision to go to war.
Rocks My Jocks | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/18/07
This song is so touching and emotional, i love everything about it! I'm glad Billie took so long to get over his fathers death and creasted this Remarkably fucking awesome Ballad.
The Greatest!!!
love Aj xox
4ever | Reviewer: green day opsjednuta iva | 4/17/07
green day 4ever...all their songs are so good,perfect...just...they're 4ever
correction | Reviewer: dude | 2/14/07
although the video is about two people in love and then he to war bla bla bla the real meaning is about his dad dying when he was 10 if u watch bullet in a bible billie is holding back his tears
Top Notch! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/17/07
I absolutely love this song! It's my second favorite Green Day tune, after Boulevard of Broken Dreams
i love it!!! | Reviewer: brianna | 2/19/07

This event has passed. View upcoming events.Join us for a friendly get-together as we discuss "The Things That Keep Us Here" by Carla Buckley.
Everything seems quiet on Ann Brooks's suburban cul-de-sac. Despite her impending divorce, she's created a happy home and her daughters are adjusting to the change. She feels lucky to be in a supportive community and confident that she can handle any other hardship that life may throw her way. But then, right before Thanksgiving, a crisis strikes that turns everybody's world upside down. Suddenly her estranged husband is forced back onto her doorstep, bringing with him his beautiful graduate assistant. Trapped inside the house she once called home, confronted by challenges she never could have imagined, Ann must make life-or-death decisions in an environment where the simple act of opening a door to a neighbor could jeopardize all she holds dear.

The Workout: Running While Pregnant
October 31, 2014
Practitioners say the procedure can address a host of neurological ills — among them attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, depression and anxiety. But some scientists denounce it.
OPELOUSAS, La. -- At 18 months, Kyle Warren started taking a daily antipsychotic drug on the orders of a pediatrician trying to quell the boy's severe temper tantrums. Thus began a troubled toddler's journey from one doctor to another, from one diagnosis to another, involving even more drugs....
Does your husband or wife constantly forget chores and lose track of the calendar? Do you sometimes feel that instead of living with a spouse, you're raising another child? Your marriage may be suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Finding objective evidence, or a biological marker, for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder could cut the guesswork in diagnoses.
Judith Warner thought she would find pushy parents and irresponsible doctors behind children on drugs like Ritalin and Prozac. She did not.
Some children from poor families may be receiving powerful drugs because it is deemed a cheaper way to treat a problem.
A total of 108 players received exemptions to use performance-enhancing drugs for attention deficit disorder.
Several Bay Area doctors who recommend medical marijuana for patients say their client base includes teenagers with psychiatric conditions including A.D.H.D.
A cautionary tale for today's multitasking, recession-anxious college students.
I must confess that "Distracted," Lisa Loomer's new play about attention deficit disorder, didn't really grip my attention.

I personally like to cut my eggnog with milk, maybe a little more than half of eggnog and then the rest with milk. During the day, I'll drink it cold but at night when I'm snuggling up with my kitty and watching tv, I'll heat it up in the microwave and sprinkle some cinnamon on top! On Xmas eve, my family and I heat up some eggnog and then we like to walk or drive around looking at Christmas decorations in the neighborhood or around town.

For those who claim you don't like it or don't want to try it because of the eggs...do you dislike French toast because it's made with eggs? I don't think egg nog tastes at all eggy; more like vanilla (and maybe a bit malted as aphill4 said). And the traditional way is to make it with raw eggs, but I am also skeptical of that - I have no way to check if the eggs are salmonella-free, so I'm wary of using raw eggs. My recipe involves cooking the egg mixture over low heat until it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. As for alcohol, spiced rum would make it a little sweeter, while I prefer bourbon which gives it some warmth and a hearty kick (we like to use good bourbon, preferably Bulleit). It's served cold no matter what, though - I've never heard of egg nog served warm. I make mine the day before and chill it in the fridge overnight before serving so it's good and cold.

#32 - Bryan's Demarcation Zones
Name: Bryan
Location: West Village, NYC
Type: (studio, 1-bdrm, etc.) and whether it is rented or owned
Teeny (260 SF), rented studio.
Why I use color:
I use color to demarcate living and sleeping areas of my one room apartment. The crème is warm and bright for morning. The gray is deep and simple for sleeping.
I was inspired by diurnal changes in light and influenced by a somewhat monochromatic furniture palette. The gray visually separates the alcove from the daytime living areas and adjacent door but integrates with the yellow and olive sofa in the same room; in the day, the gray appears olive. The crème (photographed in the morning) warms the living area / somewhat modern furnishings and animates the adjacent brick, wood trim and artwork.
The sleeping alcove is Brompton Gray from Ralph Lauren. They living area is Lis Crème from Glidden. The ceiling and remaining walls are standard-issue white.
2 Good color tips:
1. I keep a thin line of white at the top of the wall. For me, the line helps to balance/ground the color in a space where the ceiling and remaining walls are white. Its also easier than creating a clean edge directly at the wall/ceiling transition.
2. Select color that parallels (not dictates!) your personality and how/when you use your space.
2 good color resources:
1. Colors that are framed by adjacent windows or that are already found in the space. The gray in the alcove matches the darkest mortar of the brick wall.
2. Pantone Guide to Communicating with Color by Leatrice Eiseman or Pantone color chips. I use both for work but find myself referencing them for home projects.
Photos attached.

I realize this may not be the image everyone holds foremost, but the overall impression I had from this image was: this is serenity personified. And for a bedroom could anything so serene be far short of heaven?
Wow! Sophisticated use of color especially in the bedroom. Color doesn't have to be BOLD and BRIGHT as Bryan has demonstrated here.
what a beautiful place to live! So warm, calm, and cozy, yet contemporary! My ideal home. This is the feeling I am trying to creat in my home now! I'm partially there.
One of the most elegant entries to date. And I love your taste in bed frames! (We have the same.)
Must confess, I had to look up diurnal, but haven't held it against you! LOL!
"1. I keep a thin line of white at the top of the wall. For me, the line helps to balance/ground the color in a space where the ceiling and remaining walls are white. It's also easier than creating a clean edge directly at the wall/ceiling transition."
This is my favorite tip so far from the color contest - I am going to use it next time I paint.
This entry isn't about over-the-top color (which I can't do myself anyway) but about thoughtful choices. Although this isn't the smallest-coolest contest, this is also an excellent example of how to use color in a small space to define areas/activities. Bryan definitely hasn't compromised any on style in this small space!
This is a beautifully thought out space, but the colors are so subtle and subdued that they are not the first thing that register when looking at the images. So I don't think it really fits a contest for colors very well.
That being said, I really do like the reasoning and rational for entering the contest...the sensibility being somewhere between scientific and poetic .
White, black, grey, beige...BORING
just lovely. sophisticated and minimal but at the same time relaxing and cozy. my favorite tip regards matching the alcove paint to the darkest morter in the bricks. when i was aiming for that in the trim on the outside of my stone fronted home my friends and neighbors thought i was anal and crazy. but when it was done they said 'oh the trim matches the cement in between the stone, how nice'. bravo to you
well done, I think this might be my favorite entry.
I will defintely be using that paint tip!
Love this one and am inspired by it for my own place. Must see more pix. Entry for next Smallest, Coolest? House tour?
Thank God. I was beginning to think the AT definition of color was gonna remain narrow (and neon). Subdued tonality is deceptively difficult to do well. The line between stylish serenity and dowdy drab can be awfully fine. This work is exceptional. Rich, inviting, sumptuous yet casual, with wonderful details that bring it all to life--the bright patterned throw pillow, the white ceiling line (brilliant! I'm totally stealing that!) and white-framed artwork. An example of smart color selection: The blanket on the bed is not brown or olive or cream (the more obvious choice) but looks to be a charcoal--this choice both grounds and balances the warmer shades. Just beautiful.
I think these are two lovely images and the rooms seems to be quite wonderful. However, while the walls are not white ... I consider the colors to be neutrals. While white walls have become so common in our world that anything not white seems like a stretch - gray and buttercream walls are neutrals IMHO. So, for me, this isn't a good canditate for THIS competition - and I voted no.
However, I do think the owner has done a very nice job mixing dark and light, warm and cool neutrals in the apartment to create a rich space and should be proud of that.
Very nice entry. Serene space, not as vibrant as some. Good use of color to define areas, and in small spaces bright colors can be overwhelming.
Erin T: While I agree that there is a difference between thoughtful and careless use of color, I dont think it simply a matter of neutrals vs. brights. There have been some very good examples of bright colors used effectively: Trish's Dressed Up Palette, Adam's Kaleidoscope, Johns Harmonious Hues. And there have been some very poor choices made with neutrals: Anessas Fine Line, Julies Black & Silver Kitchen, Matthews Serene Dream.
Thoughtful use of color is about good choices...Like we see above!
Isn't that sofa from DWR?
Reallly beautiful, serene and interesting.
I love the serenity and minimal but not boring choices in colors and furniture. I would move into this apartment in a heartbeat. So nice to see a place that isn't garish, jarring, and randomly furnished.
Not to my taste, but your color sense is undeniably sophisticated and the scheme beautifully executed. Very restrained and balanced, and I like the white border tip. I have seen a similar approach used by the founder of Thomas Paul in his home, but he used black borders to suggest the influence of Mondrian.
Beautiful place to unwind after a stressful day.
This feels very beautiful and complete, in spite of (or because of?), the severity.
Absolutely love it. Would have loved it in the smallest contest even more.
Wowza. Can you come and decorate my place in Marrakech?
This is the most sophisticated entry yet. I'd love to see a complete house tour!
Thank you, Rascal, for your post. Color is color is color. Bright, bold, subdued, grey, white, day glo, pastel, earthtone, neon ... It's all color! The contest doesn't specify which colors are eligible for competition and which are not!
This entry uses color in a very beautiful and understated way: navy blue, yellow, gold, brick, white, taupe. Very Calvin Klein-esque. And then a certain feng shui element added in with the smooth stones and green plants, brick walls. It's got texture, light and color. I love it.
I do like gray but personally the bedroom is too severe for me -- makes me think of a cell. I would need something to soften it. But I can see how it would encourage sleep!. I do like the living area very much though. Is very warm and I like the way the design on the pillow is sort of echoed in the picture on the wall. Can I ask -- where did you get that sconce and what make is it?
Regarding Robert Smith's comment that the colors are boring, I think the right word is tasteful. Bryan have made a small apt feel serene and easy on the eyes. Color is not always about bright and bold. It's like choosing Armani over Ringling Brothers.
I would love to see a floorplan. I love what I see so far.
260 sq ft??!! That is the size of my living room! Your furnishings and subtle color choices (and photos) make your space seem a lot bigger. Bravo!
I would love to see a floor plan and more pics. Not to many other people on here actually have a "really cozy" NYC Apt like you and I ...
Truely lovely but I have this sinking feeling that the artwork on the walls was chosen to fit the decor. Too much "tastful" not enough "tasty" for a colors contest.
Modfan - I think we are on the same page. I certainly didn't mean to imply that you can either be bold or you can be thoughtful, one or the other. I think you can be thoughtful with choice and placement of any color - bright or more subdued. Likewise, you can be careless with neutrals just as you can be with bold colors.
My other favorite entries from this contest use very bold colors. With this entry, I was trying to say that even though his colors were less bold, I felt like his use of them was thoughtful in how they defined the areas of his studio.
I love this. It's subtle, and layered, and textured and personal without being cluttered, and I'm finding myself saying things I would say about my favorite in the Smallest Coolest Contest, but I do like the coloring, so I'm VERY fine with it being here.
One thing that I LOVE is the thing where you leave a VERY small border of ceiling paint at the top of the wall. The way the light hits that really helps define that edge much better. I shall steal that technique.
I love love love the living space. I like your use of the light creme/yellow and the white flooring against the dark olive sofa. I love that you have plants and sun and the rocks, and everything is very minimal. It looks very organic, but sophisticated!
Your bedroom is a bit too dark for my tastes, but I bet its great for sleeping. I love all the naturalist renderings. those are always so great.
Would you mind letting me know where I could get samples of the Glidden paint, and where you got the woven rug on your living room floor?
thanks so much,
Is that moulding or a white stripe at the top of the wall?
I love vibrant but this sophisticated subdued color scheme makes sense for such a small space. Very well thought out and very masculine. I too have bedroom walls that match the mortar! The white you left at the top almost gives the illusion of molding.
Please do tell us where you got the couch!
I'm with Pixie - Is it too soon to vote for this as an Insta-finalist in the 2007 Small Cool contest? I do feel that this is the winner of the color contest, though I think that the thoughtful use of color is very pleasing - but what an amazingly sofisticated (but not sterile) design for a very small space.
I love it- masculine and sexy.
I just think it needs a bright splash of purple or something and some knicknacks.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Definitely an insta-finalist. For everyone that things that grey is not a color, I wish that you could have been a fly on the wall in my apartment for the last few weeks.... I've been trying to get the perfect shade, and let me tell you, it is NOT easy. Bryan, you got it just right!
Lisa, I know that you can get Glidden at the Home Depot on 23rd Street (and the other one too, I assume) if you live in the city. A quart is the smallest they come though, unlike the BM sample size.
House tour please.
Insta-finalista. I love this. Simple, clean and elegant. While, I think some bold shots of "colour" in art/cushions would look great - I love the neutral scheme.
Would love to see the rest of this apartment - seeing all of these wonderful sutdio apartments is making me think twice about insisting on a 1 bedroom!
This is what I'd call sophisticated color palette. (remember that Porto apartment?)
Excellent scheme, to let the brick play the center stage, in color and texture.
Grey, cream and olive - so calm.
Thank you, B.
I think purple or a kick knack would ruin it.
GORGEOUS! I am in love with it so much, I'd trade my 800 sq. ft 2-bedroom for this "teeny" studio. :-) I would like to see a floorplan, but just from the pics, it looks cozy, not small. It's edited just right for the space, and I disagree with the people who think it needs knicknacks. That would just add clutter and make it feel cramped and busy.
You have shown here that paring down need not mean living without art and beauty... every object is perfect where it is, yet very human (note the lamp cord)and the colors form the underlying base for them.
Is that a bird pillow on the couch? I would love to know the source for it!
yes - elegant. and i'd love to see a floorplan and more pics. do you have a balcony or outdoor space? do you have a kitchen?
the exposed brick and wooden window frame are beautiful, and it looks like you get a lot of light. nice and cozy!
Nice! I'd have no idea that's such a small space. It's uncluttered, the proportions and color are just right, and just simply elegant. And it actually looks lived in. Gorgeous.
Love it! Very elegant.
Does anyone know where the bed frame from?
it's the Parsons bead from room and board.
This is fantastic!! It's minimalist and lived-in and the same time, and that gray in the bedroom is quite inspired. I also love the organic elements of the rocks and plants. Definitely among my favorites for the New York entries.
Oh, btw: same principle (click on my signature); it's a kitchenette I designed @my former townhouse.
I'm with all the others: We want a HOUSE TOUR!!!
THIS IS BRILLIANT. DESERVES TO WIN--HANDS DOWN. Kudos. Also, I too would like a house tour.
Every large element works. Every detail works in harmony.
It has that glow and specialness and subtlety that was missing from one of the entries I commented on yesterday.
I remember reading an interview with Albert Hadley once in which he said he never was able to achieve the look of a floating wall in his own apartment. Bryan, I think you could teach Mr. Hadley a lesson. Seriously elegant and modern.
There is only one thing I'd change, just one thing, I'd put a cord cover over your sconce cord; but that is just my personal pet peeve.
Very subtle and peacefull use of colour!
I'm a huge fan of greys, beiges and taupe, and your colour palette seems to be chosen carefully. It really brings out all the different textures you used esc. in the bedroom.
I think I'm in love...you created exacly the elegant menswear feel I want in my next bedroom (with exactly the R&B bed I'm saving my pennies up for). And if those are Blossfeld prints over your bed I strongly suspect we were separated at birth.
Your space has a sense of personality that the more minimalist entries are usually lacking, without screaming "LOOK AT ME" like the supersaturated ones sometimes do. For all you neutral bashers out there, consider the relationship between the olive sofa and the exposed brick. Observe the way the light at different times of day changes the appearance of a more complex midtoned neutral like the bedroom wallcolor. To me that's the most exciting part of choosing a paint color - finding one that changes with the light, but always gives you the feel you want in the room.
This is exactly what I come to AT to be inspired to create in my own home. Well done, Bryan.
I really really like this, it's subtle, fashionable, masculine, etc as everyone has said. I also completely appreciate the gentle gradation of tones; however my gauge for determining whether or not this is a insta-finalist in the "color" category is whether or not it would lose value in a black and white photograph. Do I need to go pick up some Vericolor to photograph this room? Honestly, I think your place would look stunning in black and white (in all kinds of light situations) and therefore can't vote it the best "color" entry. That said, I don't think that means this contest is for bold, bright colors exclusively.
My advice, get yourself in Metropolitain Home, that's where it deserves to be showcased.
It's a great apartment with lots of style, but this is a use of color competition, not a great apartment competition. It's very neutral. I'm not seeing any color. sorry, i vote no way.
I am so in love with this apartment. Great job, show us more!!!
Um, Tat, that design of yours is nothing like this apartment, are you sure that this was the picture you meant to share?
cold, masculine, hotel room. where's the color? and no, it doesn't have to be neon. in my opinion, "use" of color denotes more than beige paint. the sitting area looks relaxing and there's designer furniture, but no soul.
Nice and tasteful. Not enough use of color for this particular contest, however. Best Small Spaces, yes.
stunning, thanks so much for the tip about the thin white line dividing wall and ceiling plane. How tall is your space? About 10 feet, from the photos? I ask because i wonder whether the white line would work in a shorter space; my ceilings are only 8'8". In any case it is obvious that your off the charts exquisite taste indicates you are in a visual profession translates to you are being categorically unfair to all of the amateur contestants. But I appreciate your post and look forward to implementing the paint conceit.
Very well designed space but not enough color here.
I keep revisiting this one. I love that little pumpkin by the window and the collection of stones and the gold of the Buddha fac on the wall. It's making me think of Sugimoto.
One great look for such a small space. This contest is about color, but for this area neutrals give it a huge presence that would be overpowering in any other color.
Although it's sophisticated and tastefully done it's not my style. I do like the colors in the bedroom what's the color and who makes it? Also, love the throw pillows as well as the color in the living area! Good luck!
This is majorly cool. I'll be darned if I can figure out why it works, but it really does. Can you give lessons, or something? Gosh -- designers really know more than the rest of us, don't they.
I'm not sure that color is the main ingredient of these rooms success. OK -- the grey bedroom is severely edited to grey and white; pretty much no other colors are used, so that is a severely restricted use of color. It's a little too restricted for daily life, I think. What if you had books in your bedroom? (I have hundreds of books, and love them.) They wouldn't all be the right colors, now would they? So, you achieve a kind of color perfection at the cost of eliminating everything that isn't the right color. I appreciate the results in the photo, but I'm not sure I'd want to pay the price to get it or to live in that room. (I know you said you deliberately edited stuff out to eliminate distractions; it's just not my taste.)
The living area is less obviously restricted; it seems to have a more normal range of colors and a normal amount of "stuff", it's not one of those spartan-looking, minimalist places. Therefore, I'm at a complete loss to say why it works so well. Everything seems to harmonize -- there's a range of mostly neutral colors, one squiggly-patterned pillow and 1 painting but otherwise mostly solids, different textures (plant, stone, rug, TV)? I really can't see what the magic ingredient is, but it all seems very harmonious to me. I wouldn't say color was the main ingredient to the room's success, but restricting the colors to a range of (mostly) neutrals is certainl one of the ingredients.
Well done, and can you explain how you did it?
Holy crap, I totally missed this beauty first time around.
Re-enter this in the next Smallest Coolest contest!!

I have good news and bad news for you.
The good news is I found your weevil!
No more wondering where he got off to this time! That curious little ragamuffin. Always running off and getting himself into a jimmy jam! That darn weevil.
The bad news is I boiled him alive. At least I think he was alive at the time. He might have slowly suffocated weeks ago in the package. Either way, he's definitely boiled now, and in a plastic baggie. I didn't do it on purpose.

Don't get me wrong, I really want to be in love again to feel all those emotions but part of me just stops it from happening. I guess I just hate the feeling from when two people break up and you have that heartache, sometimes it's just easier not to love so I don't have to feel that. I don't like losing people, or disappointing loved ones. Love is a tough thing. It's beautiful but it can also lead to devastation.
The one-man hide and seek, aka the one-man tag, is a ritual for contacting the dead. The spirits which are wandering restless on the earth are always looking for bodies to possess. In this ritual you summon such a spirit by offering it a doll instead of a human body.

If people thought the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were radical, they were probably stunned to the core by the Doors.
Although the Los Angeles band arrived at a time, in 1966 to be exact, when rock music was rapidly expanding beyond its traditional format, they pushed the envelope to the most shocking heights imaginable.
Cutting a moody figure, lead singer Jim Morrison bellowed, grunted and whispered poetic verse scripted of carnal hunger, the seedy side of life and death. The sound of the Doors, revolving around a gripping grab bag of blues, classical music, jazz and straight on rock and roll, corresponded perfectly with their darkly shaded lyrics.
For sure, a psychedelic perspective lurked within the grooves, but the band definitely stood apart from their peers, meaning there was little sunshine and flowers to be savored. Nonetheless, a mystical mentality washed over a good deal of their material, making them instant favorites with the burgeoning hippie brigade of the era.
The Doors may have been a freaky lot, but they were not so weird that they lacked commercial appeal. And the proof was in songs such as "Light My Fire," "Hello I Love You," "People Are Strange," "Touch Me," "Love Her Madly" and "Riders On The Storm," which raced to the top of the charts.
Released in April 1971, and set for reissue this week in an expanded 40th anniversary edition, L.A. Woman marked the band's final album with their charismatically controversial front man, who was found dead in Paris just a few short months later. A bittersweet affair it was, for the record staged something of a comeback for the Doors. The band's last couple of discs were not that well received and in certain circles they were considered done and finished. It didn't help matters any that Jim Morrison battled a serious drinking problem and could be quite a public nuisance.
[SOMETHING ELSE! REWIND: The new rockumentary "Mr. Mojo Risin'" takes you inside the creation of "L.A. Woman," unearthing some juicy new tidbits behind the making of the Doors' sixth studio album.]
Flourishing with power and excitement, L.A. Woman is a gold-plated collection of hard-rocking, blues-battered tunes. The Doors are at their absolute best here, and if this was the only album they had ever waxed they would still be fondly remembered and revered today.
A bout of swinging keyboard thrills, reminiscent of Jerry Lee Lewis, add a bit of an old school rock and roll feel to the frenzied "Love Her Madly," where the bold and brawny "The Changeling" reels and roars with demanding rhythms. Charged with a sleepy, creepy air, "Riders On The Storm" drips with loneliness and despair, "Been Down So Long" explodes with hair-raising riffs and "Cars Hiss By My Window" slithers and slinks to a brooding beat.
The title track of the record pulsates with precision, tempered by a shot of jazzy drumming before resuming an insanely rocking stance and going right off the rails. Spurred by spooky chords and military styled drum patterns, "L'America" curiously combines haunting tones with a carnival-infested atmosphere.
Admired for their revolutionary outlook, the Doors remain a highly important and influential band. Having already floored the masses with their experimental excursions, the band largely returned to their roots on L.A. Woman a no-frills blues rock platter where every single song is a showstopper.

A matter of Igawan perspectiveBy · Comments
How do you solve an enigma like Kei Igawa?
For better or worse, the Yankees and Kei Igawa are seemingly stuck with each other. As we know all too well, the Yanks doled out $46 million to bring him States-side, and he's been a disappointment ever since.
Yesterday, Igawa made his spring debut against non-college hitters. We know how disastrous his last outing was; he gave up four runs on one hit, a grand slam off the bat of a college kid with two at-bats total over the last two years. He walked hitters, hit one and threw a wild pitch. While it was just February, the outing simply added another bad chapter to long tale of Kei Igawa.
So facing the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Igawa had a chance to raise his own stock, and he responded with two perfect innings, and as RAB favorite – I say that sarcastically – George King notes, the fight for a roster spot continues.
While King's article is chock full 'o the typical Spring Training hype and hyperbole, Tyler Kepner of The Times wrote a piece more critical of Kei Igawa and the Yanks' scouting of the Japanese import. Relying on the words of Hideki Matsui and Brian Cashman, Kepner creates a portrait of competing opinions.
"In Japan, he had pretty good velocity and he was the type of pitcher that usually threw fastballs and changeups to strike out hitters," Hideki Matsui said through an interpreter. "In Japan, you don't see that many pitchers throw changeups, as opposed to here, where a lot of pitchers throw changeups. And in Japan, his fastball was pretty fast. But when you compare it to pitchers here, it's not as fast."
Igawa also tried to throw too many pitches high in the strike zone, where umpires in Japan are more likely to call strikes. But General Manager Brian Cashman said Igawa's problem was more about command.
"If I felt that our evaluations were improper, then I would think that he's failed, and I'm not ready to concede that yet," Cashman said. "It took José Contreras some time to adjust, and although he possesses a different ability, he led the White Sox to a world championship.
"All I can tell you is Igawa was the strikeout leader in Japan — and not just for one year — and those guys are contact hitters over there. Swing-and-miss is still a big part of his game. You can't deny that; just look at his statistics."
So what then is the real story? Based on Matsui's words, Igawa thrived in Japan because his style of pitching was better suited for the NPL. Brian Cashman, on the other hand, would have you believe that the Yanks were getting a top-flight pitcher.
After a year of watching Igawa bounce back and forth from Scranton to New York and get bounced around by Big League pitching, I am tempted to side with Hideki Matsui. Igawa's stuff was always up. He lived on a change-up in Japan, and in the U.S., that's just not good enough.
Maybe one year isn't enough of a sample to determine whether or not Igawa is a big bust, but as I read more about Kei Igawa the pitcher and the way the Yankees approached this signing, I can't help but think that the Yanks' international scouts dropped the ball on this one. It happens sometimes, and for the good of the team, the Yanks should be prepared to cut their losses. Now and then, Igawa has a good outing, but the bad ones are always just around the corner.
Spring Training Game 5 ThreadBy · Comments
The game is live on YES and/or ESPN at 1 this afternoon. I'll update this post if I notice anything of particular note. But for now, here are the lineups:
1. Johnny Damon, LF
2. Derek Jeter, SS
3. Bobby Abreu, RF
4. Alex Rodriguez, DH
5. Jason Giambi, 1B
6. Jorge Posada, C
7. Robinson Cano, 2B

9. Melky Cabrera, CF
Tossing for the Yanks:
Ian Patrick Kennedy: 2 to 3 innings
Joba Chamberlain: 2 to 3 innings
Jonathan Albaladejo
Ross Rock 'n' Rohlendorf
Update by Ben: Good news as we await the start of this game: The results of Bobby Murcer's biopsy have come back negative. The tests revealed scar tissue and not another cancerous tumor.
The end of a leg-kicking era
While El Duque hasn't pitched in the Bronx since 2004, I'll always have fond memories of his tenure on the Yanks. Today, via BTTF, comes the news that due to his injuries, El Duque may have to retire his signature leg kick. It is indeed the end of an era, and I have to wonder now if we should have a ceremony eulogizing the El Duque Dance as well. · (4) ·
The Big Three work hard to match the hypeBy · Comments
Most of us know Pete Abraham as a blogger. He's got the most popular Yanks blog on the planet, and it's getting better with age. Lately, though, I've been drawn to his work in his newspaper, The Journal News. The articles are a bit more thought out, and have depth you're not going to find on the blog. Yes, sometimes they can get a bit fluffy, but having been blogging for nearly three years, I understand that subject matter can be hard to come by. Today, Pete delves into our favorite subject: The Big Three.
While last year we thought having Roger Clemens around would give the kids a proper role model, it appears that it was Andy Pettitte might have been the best mentor all along. He's on the field at 8:15 a.m., and has Joba, Phil, and IPK in tow.
Pete gave us a glimpse of the working, opening with an anecdote about Phil and Joba trying to run a mile in five and a half minutes. The guys then work out for another hour, sprinting and doing abdominal work. Legs and core…it's what makes baseball players stronger.
They're all at the level now where they're pushing each other, which bodes well for all of them. It's one thing to be under Andy Pettitte's tutelage. It's another to rise up to his level and push him just as hard as he's pushing you.
This all gets me even more psyched about the Big Three. It's one thing to fall for the hype. It's a complete other thing when you see that they're working their hardest to live up to it.
(By the way, anyone catch Phil's latest contest? They're trying to guess the nickname Kennedy has around the clubhouse. The astounding majority of respondents have said "IPK." Just remember where that one originated.)
Old Yanks: Where are they now? Part 2By · Comments
Last week, I posted a smattering of Yankee Where Are They Now? profiles, and the response was deafening. RAB comment regulars and lurkers clamored for more with copious lists of old Yankees.
Today, I present Part 2. As the names get more obscure, information gets harder to find. A lot of players leave the game and public spotlight behind when they walk away from the field. They spend more time with their families; they eschew the attention and bright lights of baseball. While the current generation of players should be financially set for life, many were not, and as we travel further back in time, retired baseball players emerge as regular workers like the rest of us.
So enjoy. I'll try to keep running these as long as the list of names doesn't run out.
Greg Cadaret: One season — 1992 I believe — a Greg Cadaret baseball card stood between me and a complete Topps Yankee team set. Cadaret threw in 188 games over three and a half seasons for the Yanks, compiling 22-23 record and a 4.12 ERA. He walked too many guys and struck out too few. He now relives his glory days as an instructor at A's fantasy camp.
Andy Stankiewicz: Stankiewicz wasn't very good at the plate or adept in the field, but he sure was a fan favorite. He arrived in the Bronx at the age of 27 in 1992 and departed from New York 461 plate appearances later. He is now an assistant coach for the ASU Sun Devils.
Hensley "Bam Bam" Meulens: Talk about overhyped prospect in the Yankees system, and Hensley Muelens' name leads the pack. Meulens was the first Major Leaguer from Curaçao and was one great prospect who went down in a blaze of glory. He is now the hitting coach with the Indianapolis Indians.
Randy Velarde: When not appearing in the Mitchell Report, Velarde is reportedly retired and at home in Texas. The subject of a 2003 Associated Press profile, Velarde keeps a low profile these days.
Mel Hall: One of the leaders of the bad Yankees from the early 1990s, Hall was known for his less-than-savory antics off the field. His tale has a sad ending though; He currently facing allegations of sexual assault and could face a long prison sentence.
John Wetteland: John Wetteland ushered in a World Series and the Mariano Rivera Era. He was on the mound when the Yanks won in 1996 and then departed for Texas. In 2007, he was named bullpen coach of the Washington Nationals but was fired midseason in 2007. He now works at the Liberty Christian School in Washington state where he teaches Bible class and coaches baseball and football.
Jim Abbott: Jim Abbott compiled a 20-22 record for the Yanks during his two-season stint in New York, but he will be remembered in Yankee history for his Sept. 4, 1993, five-walk, three-strikeout no hitter of the Cleveland Indians. He is currently single-handedly changing the motivational speaking circuit. (Bah-dum-dum-clang. I'll be here all week.)
Clay Bellinger: The man, the myth, the legend. Despite his .194/.258/.365 career line, the Yanks haven't won a World Series since Bellinger was released. There may be a curse. He played in the 2004 Olympics as a member of the Greek baseball team and was an assistant coach with the 2007 Chandler Little League team. He works as a full-time firefighter as well.
Mike Stanley: Stanley will always be remembered for his unlucky tenure on the Yanks. He left the team after a few successful seasons following the 1995 campaign and then returned in time for the 1997 ALDS loss. He was a fan-favorite during the 1990s and managed to escape ever winning a World Series. He now coaches at the Lake Highland High School in Florida.
Mariano Duncan: Duncan had a career year in 1996 in New York. He shared second base time with Matt Howard, Andy Fox, Luis Sojo, Robert Eenhorn, Pat Kelly and Jim Leyritz. In 1997, he was traded to the Blue Jays for no one useful. He has since been reunited with his former manager; Duncan is the once and future first base coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Joba renewed at the minimum
Peter Abraham notes that the Yankees renewed Joba Chamberlain's contract at the $390,000 Major League miminum and wonders if the team couldn't have found a few more grand to kick back to the kid. At the same time, Abraham notes that baseball is a business, and the Yanks were well within their rights to renew Joba's contract. That's where I land on this issue. Chamberlain landed an above-slot signing bonus of $1.1 million from the Yanks, and he threw just 24 Big League innings last year. He'll get his money when the time comes. There's no doubt about that. · (18) ·
Forecasting the Sabathia SweepstakesBy · Comments
Because it's never too early to start speculating on next winter, Jon Heyman at SI.com checks in with C.C. Sabathia. It is seemingly a foregone conclusion that the Indians and Sabathia will part ways in November. The Indians have acknowledged it; C.C. has acknowledged it.
And when one of the game's top lefty starters hits the open market, we all know what that means: a good, old fashioned free agent bidding war. Sabathia figures to command a contract in excess of $100-$120 million, and of course, our favorites are right at the top of Heyman's list of likely suitors:
1. Yankees. Long seen as the most logical destination for Sabathia, the big reason they balked at Santana was their reluctance to part with top pitching prospects Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy. Since it'll only cost them money (and draft choices), and Mike Mussina, Carl Pavano, Jason Giambi and Andy Pettitte could be coming off the books, they remain the favorite. A perfect replacement in case this is Pettitte's last year, a real possibility.
Of course, Sabathia makes sense for the Yanks whether or not Pettitte continues his "one more year" shtick or not. The Yanks have money coming off the books, and one can never have too much starting pitching, let alone lefties in the Bronx.
The Yankees will go hard after Sabathia, and they need only give up money this time. It's a match made in baseball heaven. All Carsten Charles needs to do is turn in another top season and avoid injury. The gold is waiting for him at the end of the rainbow.
Yanks don't win 1-0 behind Hughes' complete game
So what if the game only lasted 1.5 innings? This is what we're talkin' about with Hughes. He can shorten games.
Update: The Baseball Gods did not take kindly to my joke. The game is back on with Kei Igawa on the mound. The Yanks lead 2-0. For now.
Update: Scott Patterson goes 1, Kei Igawa goes 2 and Billy Traber goes 1 before rain ends the game. It's a perfect game though. Yanks win 2-0. · (8) ·

Special Vehicles in IllinoisPage Overview
Illinois Special Vehicle Registration
You know you must title and register your passenger car, pickup truck, or motorcycle―but what about other types of vehicles? If you have a special vehicle, such as an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), snowmobile, or trailer, you may have to title and/or register it in Illinois. The process for each type of vehicle may differ, so it's important to know what you need to do to title/register it and which state agency you need to visit.
All-Terrain Vehicles in Illinois
Illinois requires you to title your off-road vehicle and all-terrain vehicle (ATV), but you do not have to register them. You'll need to complete the Application for Vehicle Transaction (Form VSD 190). This form is not available online, but you can pick up a copy at your Illinois Secretary of State (SOS). You will also need to pay the $30 title fee.
In order to operate your ATV in public parks, you must have a public access sticker visible on your vehicle. Remember, you can not operate your ATV on any public roads or highways in Illinois, unless you're simply crossing them.
For more information about ATV regulations in Illinois, contact the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) .
Illinois Snowmobile Registration
If you own a snowmobile in Illinois, you must have it registered before you can take it out for a spin. This process isn't handled by the Secretary of State. Instead, all snowmobile registrations and renewals are handled by the Department of Natural Resources.
To register your snowmobile, complete a Snowmobile Registration Application (Form 40M) and submit it to:
Illinois Department of Natural Resources
P.O. Box 19226
Springfield, IL 62794
Enclose payment for the $30 fee. This will cover a registration card and 2 decals. The registration is valid for 3 years.
NOTE: You must register your snowmobile within 15 days of acquiring it.
Non-Resident Trail Use Pass
You must purchase a $25 trail pass if you're from out of state and your snowmobile is not registered in Illinois.
Snowmobile Liability Insurance
Liability insurance is required when riding on public trails.
You must title and register your watercraft in Illinois. This applies to both boats and personal watercraft such as jet skis. Complete a Watercraft Registration/Title Application and submit it to:
Department of Natural Resources
P.O. Box 19226
Springfield, IL 62794
New registrations depend on the length of your vessel. For more information, visit our Boat Registration and Licenses in Illinois page for more details.
Trailer Registration in Illinois
All trailers must be titled and registered. The title and registration process is the same for car registrations.
The cost to register your trailer will vary depending on the weight.
- 3,000 lbs. or less: $18.
- 3,001 to 8,000 lbs.: $30.
- 8,001 to 10,000 lbs.: $38.
- 10,001 lbs. and over: $50.
NOTE: You will also need to pay a title fee of $95 if you haven't titled your trailer yet.
Recreational Vehicles/Motorhomes
If you have a recreational vehicle (RV) or motorhome, the Illinois DMV requires you to register it much the same way as you would register your car. Follow the instructions on our Register Car in Illinois page.
The cost to register your RV will depend on the weight:
- 8,000 lbs. or less: $78.
- 8,001 to 10,000 lbs.: $90.
- 10,001 lbs. and heavier: $102.
IL Moped Registration
Illinois classes mopeds as a type of motorcycle, so they are registered just like motorcycles.
A moped is defined as as vehicle with:
- An automatic transmission.
- An engine no more than 50 cc.
- No more than 2 HP.
- A maximum speed of 30 MPH AND the ability to reach 20 MPH over 1 mile of distance.
More details are available on our scooters and mopeds page.
Other IL Vehicles

Obama's New Approach to Regulation Is Misguided; We Need Stronger Controls Over Big Business
Statement of Robert Weissman, President, Public Citizen
President Barack Obama's opinion editorial today adopts business and right-wing think-tank talking points about the harms of regulation and urges "balance" in achieving the right amount of regulation - not so little that we fail to protect the public, and not so much as to harm the economy.
This is the wrong way to think about regulation, and it is the wrong direction for the American people. Markets cannot function without proper regulation. That means businesses cannot function without proper regulation. We do not need a "balance" between regulation and the free market. We need effective regulations that foster the right types of markets.
The dominant fact of American life in recent years has been grossly inadequate public protections. In the past several years, under-regulation and corporate disregard of safety rules have resulted in multiple salmonella and E. coli outbreaks, a flood of lead-tainted toys, a massive and environmentally devastating oil spill, deadly mine disasters and the collapse of our economy, which has cost eight million American jobs. We need to focus most urgently on fixing these problems and others, not burden agencies, which already are overworked and under-resourced, with more internal reviews and red tape.
Republican leaders have signaled that they intend to challenge existing public protections, weaken agencies like the Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and block the implementation of financial reform and other legislation. Some Democrats also have indicated a strong skepticism of regulation, if not an outright anti-regulatory bias.
The stakes could not be greater: At risk are our lives, our health and our economy. The administration should be preparing for a major fight to implement effective public protections on behalf of the American people - not echoing Big Business' talking points.
We will have to review the administration's executive order and memoranda before commenting specifically on them. We can only hope, however, that the administration's op-ed is nothing more than a mistaken communications strategy, not an indication of its substantive plans.

The third and final entry in Laurence Olivier's Shakespeare triptych, Richard III (1954) is an audacious portrait of a man determined to prove himself a villain. As the personification of evil impudence, Olivier portrays the Duke of Gloucester with such aplomb that he brings the audience onto his side. This is true even as Richard engineers plots to murder his brother Clarence (John Gielgud), betray his cousin Buckingham (Ralph Richardson), and seduce his niece Lady Anne (Claire Bloom). From the play's famous opening lines ("Now is the winter of our discontent"), Olivier delivers every speech with truly Machiavellian splendor, and his superb staging of the climactic battle rivals his work on Henry V. Regrettably, this would be Olivier's last Shakespeare film, as a planned adaptation of Macbeth was abandoned for financial reasons. Olivier justly received an Oscar® nomination for his performance; and believe it or not, this film was the inspiration for the original Blackadder! --Kevin Mulhall
Richard III:
Madam, my mother, I do cry you mercy; I did not see your Grace. Humbly on my knee I crave your blessing.
Duchess of York:
God bless thee; and put meeknes in thy breast, love, charity, obediance and true duty!
Richard III:
Richard III:
and make me die a good old man! That is the butt-end of a mother's blessing.

"A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view." – Sophia Loren
You picked out the perfect wedding gown and now it's time to find the perfect dress for your bridesmaids to wear. If you thought picking your dress was the hardest part, think again. Try finding a dress that compliments your wedding gown and looks great on all the different body shapes of your bridesmaids. It's not an easy task. Luckily, we at A.JAFFE have compiled a list of tips that will help make choosing the perfect bridesmaid dress stress free.
1. Remember these are your good friends:
The ladies that you have chosen to take part in your wedding ceremony are some of your closest friends. You probably know a lot about each of them, their likes and dislikes. When picking a dress for your bridesmaids to wear be considerate and be a good friend. Find a good fit that will generally look good on everyone. You don't want any of your bridesmaids to look heavy or frumpy as they stand next to you at the altar.
2. Find the right look:
You don't want the bridesmaids dress to out shine your own dress. It is important for you, the bride, to find the right feel for your wedding. Think of your bridesmaids as your personal accessory. You want their dresses to compliment yours not look identical or overpower you.
3. One Size Fits All – FALSE:
Every woman has their own unique shape; some tall, some short, some thin, and some with curves. That being said, not every bridesmaid will look the same in one particular dress. Certain dresses are more flattering on somebody shapes, than others. As a general rule of thumb, a-line skirts and empire waists tend to look good on all body types. If you are having a hard time finding a dress that looks great on all your bridesmaids, trying picking one of those styles.
4. It's ok to Mix and Match:
A popular trend for bridesmaid dresses is mixing and matching. A bride will pick a general theme for the dresses, such as color and/or fabric. Then it is up to the bridesmaid to pick a dress style that they feel most comfortable in. This way everyone looks stunning and slightly unique, but still fits within the wedding theme.
5. Make sure everyone is Comfortable:
After picking a dress, ask around and make sure your bridesmaids feel comfortable wearing the dress. These are your good friends and family members. They were nice enough to be a part of your special day, so be somewhat considerate. For example, some woman might not feel comfortable wearing a strapless dress in front of a lot of people. If you have your heart set on a specific dress, think of alternative solutions for anyone that is uncomfortable, such as, wearing a shawl or having a tailor add straps to the dress.
6. Take a Vote:
If you are really having a lot of trouble picking out the perfect bridesmaid dress, take a vote. Ask your bridesmaids to come dress shopping with you. Have them try on a few dresses on and then take a vote. Tally the votes and go with the majority.
7. Be Reasonable with Cost:
Dresses can be very expensive. In most cases, each bridesmaid is responsible for buying her dress for the wedding. Be mindful when choosing a dress. Try sticking to a price range of $100-$300. If you fall in love with a more expensive dress, it is proper etiquette for the bride to cover the difference.
Picking the right bridesmaid dress is not easy. There are a lot of factors that go into the final decision. Ultimately it is the bride who should have the final say. Hopefully these tips will help make the whole process stress free. After you have chosen the perfect dress for your bridesmaids, try pairing it with one of A. JAFFE's luxury designer accessories.
