Debate?

Now he can start giving up scope on a national scale.

Wouldn't it be great if Delta left ALPA, and leave him hanging in the wind?

DO NOT be hating on Hootie my brother. The rest of that music crap is muey bueno. But Hootie and I have a history...being from Charleston and all, and back in the day, when music was music and aviation was....well, it used to be cool.

I used to stumble uptown from my South of Broad apartment after a two-week trip flying C-141s around the globe and stand in peanut shells with my cheap beer in a plastic cup to listen to Hootie when they were playing to nobody. And now, they're playing to nobody and I still stand in peanut shells and drink cheap beer in a plastic cup...buts its in my home in SoCal. My wife is not happy.

In fact, that's Darius Rucker on the tail of the Alaskan jets! Don't be hating the boyz from Carolina.

Darius just released a new album titled "Charleston SC, 1966." He's definitely gone country.

My daughter is in school in CHS...campus is in the middle of downtown. I'm jealous, but its nice having a reason to run down to CHS on a regular basis.

Probably something about the venue... the music is mostly radio-friendly pop-country.

Thats what I thought. I was just caught a little off guard when I heard that.

Boeing is building the 787 in CHS - so you might get to see the Dreamliner or the bloated cargo plane they use to fly parts to the left coast while you're in CHS. The scenery ain't too bad either :)

Went to USC at the same time Hootie + the Blowfish did (1985). Man, were they bad! Love them now. Not much of a C+W fan, but Darious likes it, and apparently he's well received.

BTW: USC 35 (then) #1 ALABAMA 21! Go Cocks!!!!

Yeah, I've seen the dreamlifter at the airport down there a few times. That facility they are building is huge, of course.

I was based in SC in from 88-91...saw Hootie at a bar in 5-points (Columbia). They were just a great cover-band then, or maybe I was drunk.

So, Buzz, were those peanuts at Tommy Condon's? Had a few Kamikaze's there once upon a time.

Tell her to watch out for those Citadel boys. We used to have a saying whenever the frat boys got uppity, "You may have each other, but we own the sororities."
