Does [Kingston] even like the Beach Boys?

Very much so. I grew up in southern California. "Pet Sounds": in
some ways, an album worthy of Mozart.

I took
'im for a Country kind of guy, like maybe
Johnny Cash or somphin like that.

Ol' John was great, but country's not really my bag.

No, I
think it was Crystal Gayle

I could not name even one of her songs.

That sure makes my brown eyes turn blue. :(


-- or was it the

Talking Heads?

Now you're talking -- "More Songs about Buildings and Food," "Fear
of Music," "Remain in Light," "Stop Making Sense," "Little Creatures"
-- great albums.

Um, you -- yeah you, a way up there in your
tower: IM Innes was a talkin' about someone
he calls "kenedy", which he seems to have
confused with me. (What he doesn't know is
this: I ain't never played 1c4, so how kin I be a
guy who ain't never played nuthin' but c4? Duh!)

We was a spekulatin' as ta what sort o' music
that feller liked, not you, the tower guy. It's
kinda like shootin' in the dark, and just about
as productive, too. :D

Of course, the nearly-insane Innes never dared
to say what sort of music *he* liked, preferring
instead to spek-a-late about somphin' he knows
nuphin' 'bout, as usual.

easily with any color, if I put a mind to it.

It's inneresting bot, sorry, INTERESTING ( I've heard the French
habitually cogitate the adverb/adjective 'interesting' to mean boring -
what a perverse viewpoint - no?) For myself, I have to report my results
with black (playing on the icc server) are nothing short of astonishing
in my view. Maybe this has to do with the blackwatch beatle, the black
death, the black dog, the gross all black thug team stretching their
collective hamstrings in preparation for dominance. I dunno?!..

I would like to report on my own results with
either color, but so far I have only two games
at RedHot which were not easy wins, and the
ones at GetClubbed can basically all be
considered freaks, on account of the inhuman
playing conditions there. In essence, it is a
question of attitude: do you play with an
attitude "try to win" with White, but a very
different one with Black? In OTB play the
question of prize money may arise, and here
some players (but not all) may take the
approach of trying to push for the full point
when they perceive themselves as having
the best chances, in other words with the
White pieces. But the truth is that their
opponent may actually do better as Black,
having studied a few of those books which
do a superb job from the Black perspective.
