If I give you a courtesy follow back and you don’t know me, (meaning you are not followed by someone I follow, don’t actually know someone that knows me ‘in real life,’ or you haven’t met me face to face anywhere), please do not immediately DM me upon me following you and try to manufacture familiarity. I’ve studied up on some psychology, so I don’t fall for it. I’m also not interested in your cryptocurrency scams. In fact, for a living, I have a role as a cybersecurity expert for a large and continually growing financial institution; so I’m really not the mark you’re hoping for. Might want to unfollow me now and save me the hassle of having to apply my professional skills in my personal time. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

@LesPurves KISS: Alive II

Top live album. No debate: UFO – Strangers in the Night Thin Lizzy – Live and Dangerous Aerosmith – Live! Bootleg KISS – Alive II All killer, all different flavors of ’70s hard rock. Gun to your head—one pick. #70sRock #LiveAlbums #ClassicRock #ThinLizzy #UFO #Aerosmith #KISS #VinylCollection

The vocals were not good. Off key and disappointing. Low energy, too. They just seemed to be “phoning it in.” I suppose it could’ve been partially due to the soundboard mix. I know they’re older, so they can’t be expected to sing in the old key. But I’ve seen Night Ranger several times and though they may sing in a lower key, they still sing well and their shows are tight and energetic. They always play like they are having as good a time as the audience and they seem like they’d not rather be anywhere other than in that venue, on that date, performing for that audience. Energy and attitude goes a long way.

@its_The_Dr I actually saw Air Supply at EPCOT ten years or so ago. I left halfway through. It wasn’t good. And that’s a shame because I actually really liked them. I had their greatest hits on cassette. Back in the day, they were great for some serious slow dancing at school dances!

Let’s Check in on Air Supply…. Do you remember this one?

@james_xond Nope. It would be helpful. But not “life changing.”

Do you consider $900K as life-changing money? Be honest, please.

@24tog 28.

20 ! What about you?

@lippyent My first remote controlled TV had one of those clicker remotes!

What is heavy forwards but not backwards? A ton.

@GenTXer2 Kansas.

Can you identify this 70s band? 🤔

@VintageRockN_85 A.

Which pair of Rock Classics win?

@ThrillaRilla369 Well, since I don’t drink and I never have (never been drunk before), and I don’t take drugs of any kind - including cold meds and such - and I don’t even ride in a car with someone who has had any alcohol…I can honestly say I’ve never had a DUI and never will have a DUI.

Who can honestly say they have never had a DUI I'll wait

Night Ranger (more than 30 times) Iron Maiden (7 times) Alice Cooper (8 times with tickets to 2 more next month) Jimmy Buffett (I lost count…but a lot - several dozen times) Starship (multiple times) The Rippingtons (multiple times) Kenny G (twice) Bon Jovi (twice) Kool & The Gang Rob Base & DJ Easy Rock Richard Elliot Tom T. Hall (countless times) Alabama (twice) Sheila E. Hurricane Prince Slaughter Tesla Firehouse Stryper (8 times) Holy Soldier Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart Petra Steelheart Twisted Sister Cinderella (twice) The Beach Boys Meat Loaf Warren Hill Quiet Riot (twice) Ted Nugent Boys II Men (but unfortunately not when they were good) Jim Brickman Berlin (twice) Russ Freeman & David Benoit Spyro Gyra Rick Springfield (3 times) Garth Brooks Styx (4 times) Buster Poindexter & His Banshees of Blue (great show!) Huey Lewis & The News (twice) I could go on. These are just the first 41 that immediately came to mind. Loop in bands I’ve seen but that didn’t immediately jump to mind, bands some/most people here wouldn’t have heard of, cover/tribute bands, and/or bands that were local where I lived, and this list stretches on for a long, long time. But this list shows I’ve been to more than 20 concerts by more than 20 separate bands.

Yes or No: You’ve been to 20+ concerts in your lifetime.

@METAVERZUZ Heck yeah. Shoot, I’ve been to more than 20 concerts for just one group. Add on other groups and the count has to be close to 100.

@GigglingGanon A longer/full video is out there on YouTube. I first saw it on Sergeant Curtis’ channel. ‘Sergeant Curtis’ is a former L.E.O. and he provides occasional commentary on the situation. youtu.be/RqTfair9zNY?si…

This dude is off his rocker. Police pull him over and the bipolar kicks into high gear. This guy jumps from emotion to emotion all while the officer is trying to figure out what is going on. Ultimately it reaches one of the funniest things I've ever seen on body cam when this dude decided to mock the officer. Easily one of the funniest traffic stops I've ever seen. 😂😂

@RnRNationlive Pretty sure it was Iron Maiden. Could’ve been Def Leppard, though. Got both around the same time and I don’t recall which came first.

What was your first band shirt? And go.. Follow us! #Heart/ #Comment/ #Retweet #Twitter / #X @RnRNationlive

I think this is likely engagement farming and not actually true. But in case it’s legit, here’s my two cents worth: My ex wife inherited almost $1M. It was HER money, NOT my money and NOT our money. We divorced, but I didn’t take or ask for a single penny. In fact, she kept some stuff that was mine before we married and most of the stuff we’d acquired before the family member passed away that left her the money. It’s not the fiancé’s money, even though a marriage is about to take place. The fact that the finance wants to put it in a joint account is concerning. My advice: Call off the marriage. Sort of that: Have an attorney draw up a pre-nup. Those funds need to be protected and full control needs to remain in the hands of the person that has inherited the money, (or items or land). Put it in, and keep it in, a separate, private account. I wouldn’t even keep it in an account under the same bank as the couple’s joint account. I would not give the fiancée access to that account at all. Let them know that it does not belong to them under any circumstances. Not even for the purchase of a home together. I’d let them know that I’m the event of a death, it would be left to another family member and the spouse would get life insurance and the assets obtained during the marriage, but they wouldn’t get any part of the inheritance or any interest earned from the inheritance. If the fiancée isn’t okay with that, then they’re interested in the money more than the person and it’s a good thing to know that now. The fact that they want it in a joint account already is a huge red flag. I’d call off the wedding and move on; but if you must be married, keep the inheritance separate and get a pre-nup.

I’m about to get married, and my fiancé knows I have an inheritance that was left to me by my grandparents. It’s in my name only, and I’ve been saving it for years. Now he’s saying that before we get married, I should put the entire inheritance into a joint account so we can “start fresh together,” or he doesn’t think we should go through with the wedding. I’m 36 already and this is something my family worked hard to leave me. I’m torn between wanting to build a life together and feeling like I’m being pressured to give up something important to me. What do you think I should do? By isitmeaitah

@Mikehomeseller Dog person! ❤️

Do you consider yourself a dog or cat person? #mikesquestions

@TheExtremeMusi1 DaFuq kinda list is this? Kurt Cobain shouldn’t be anywhere in the top 200, let alone the top ten. David Byrne? Jagger is an okay front man, but singer? George Clinton? Bono? Before we talk about who is missing, the whole damn list needs to be dismantled and started over.

Who's missing???

@20th_Centurygal “Hysteria,” without any hesitation whatsoever.

The year is 1987 You’re at the record store with enough cash for one.   Appetite for Destruction (GN’R) or Hysteria (Def Leppard) The raw grit vs. the production masterpiece. Which one are you taking home?

@lady_valor_07 About 9 hours ago.

Curious. When was the last time you picked up a real pen and wrote something on a piece of paper???

@james_xond No. But my attitude would change quite a bit. I’d still be a great employee and I’d still work hard. But for starters, I wouldn’t be going to those all-day, “all-hands”/“team-building” meetings/events ever again. And zero adherence to any “business casual” dress code.

Be honest for a second: would you quit your job tomorrow if you won $2M in the lottery today?

@dustinpari I’ve got tickets to two of those! And I went to one last night! Makes for a great 2026!
