Looks like they carry the same timetable as the railroad.

The old guys will remember Gerry Rafferty.

RIP. I can't believe he was still pulling down 80K pounds a year in royalties for that tune.

I've been diggin' this video in observance of his passing:

his death was big in the news here.

Where is Soloist? Thanks to trollheim I just found out that if you type illuminati backwards and then .org it takes you to NSA's website.

i think he's beeen abducted by inter-galactic bunny rabbits.

Just got back from my usual wednesday club ride. It was sweet, temps about 34, winds 15 MPH, but sunny and clear roads....there were only 4 of us and we did 50 miles. Happy Happy, Joy Joy.

Do you get much time to ride outside of your Wednesday ride?

Itanamulli? I think I saw one of those frames on eBay.

wut

Generally twice/week, wednesday and saturday...plus maybe one short (20 mile) commute once a week.

Not enough. I want it every day.

My foot is still dry/cracked. I keep forgetting to put lotion on it.

Grumpy, how does Gerry Rafferty pull down $120K/yr. in royalties for one song yet every other band gets an advance and goes broke? Were the contracts different in Rafferty's era, or was he just a smart negotiator?

I am getting tired of the "Roadies and ______" threads. It's going to be a long winter.

Huge snowflakes are falling!

So are they pulleys or jockey wheels? Or does it not matter, like tubular vs sew-ups?

They are jockey wheels. I suppose it could even be referred to as an idler pulley.

Only one of them is a jockey pulley, they other one's an idler pulley.

as was mentioned before, once you have been established for a while, then you have some pull. I don't know who got the publishing on his hits, but he would get the composer credit.

the contracts were different, but not necessarily better. He may have made a lot of money on "secondary markets" (re-use for other stuff like TV, movies, commercials etc)

when I was with Freddie Hubbard he told the audience that he survived during his ten year hiatus just on royalties from "Red Clay", because it was sampled so often by rappers.

did the cute light thread just disappear in front of my eyes?

Whoops. I might have ruined it when I said that pink light looked like a sex toy. In all fairness.. it did.

i wonder who the op is a sock of. I say velo vol.

she was not a sock, just a spammer

Awww....the cute bike light thread was kinda, oh, I don't know, uh, cute.
