Anyone doing an eclipse cruise in 2026?
Posted by Big Scrub TX on 5/11/24 at 5:55 pm
After having our minds blown in Dallas last month, someone mentioned that there had been some cruises in Mexico that were tactically placed to see the eclipse (it's a good idea to be on a moving vessel to find the hole in the clouds!)
Princess announced - but kept the details close - that they we...

[quote]We can debate it. The Beatles were more experimental musically, but the Stones were always of a different cut. They were always pretty raw in terms of sound. The Stones though, put out some fantastic, if not their best work as a band from 1967 with Their Satanic Majesties Request to 1973/1974...

Crazy. Love it so much. Also amazing how much quality followed it. Not clear at all that it's their best work.
