    don't know...
    don't know if Japan currently is the knockoff Asian capital, but it was in China that they made a fake Disneyland as well as the usual technology piracy etc etc. http://www.boingboing.net/2007/05/02/fake-disneyland-in-c.html I think Japan is more about taking a good idea and making it better; like that whole mass production automobile thang that Ford started but Honda and Toyota perfected... oh, and I checked a label on one of my old lady's 'official GD product' t shirt. It was made in China -- so go figure??!!

    re: trademark infringement
    isn't japan the king of knock-offs??? they take a popular cultural icon and tweak it just a bit, then put it on everything. you have to look real close for the differences. saw it on globe trekker once. with doc martin's or something. peace nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

    who knows if??
    who knows if the pencil box was made in China or where?? there were no markings on it, no GD trademark or such, no made in Taiwan on the back... sure, there are plenty of Chinese fake product exports all over the world. the GD t-shirts my old lady picked up in Japan were all (well mostly) official, they have both the GD trademarks on the shirt and on the labels, and tags. Those too, (the labels and such) are also easily faked; so one never knows. sell like hotcakes?? perhaps. one must first have pencils to put in the box, but I could think up other things to 'stash' in such a box.

    I would expect to find something like that in china. They seem to make everything. I would think those would sell like hotcakes. Heck I'd buy some!!

    Anime is super hip
    in my gaming industry at the moment. Alot of the fans of role-playing games are also into anime, which CAN indeed be pretty hefty, but are some interesting stories out there. My new company actuallyl produces an rpg based on anime called Anima, complete with books, anime style illustrations, and miniature figurines for playing. At any gaming convention these days, you see Gothic Lolitas galore (YIKES) and all sorts of western fans of Japanese modern culture. ********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

    oh it is the heartland
    I did know about Kinki at one time. I forgot about Kinki. Happens with age. Kinki is the region of Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Nara. I took a Japanese History course years ago. And back in the 80's saw an exhibit at the Art Institute in Chicago of many objects from the big wooden temple with the huge Buddha from Nara. Still have the catalog from the exhibit.

    Kinki Japan
    Hal, are you sure you want an answer to what goes on in kinki Japan??!! http://img133.imagevenue.com/loc2/th_47007_fgFERTILITY_123_2lo.jpg http://kinkijapan.com/ well, Kinki is actually a region of Japan, more commonly known as Kansai. but given the choice of saying I was in Kinki Japan vs. saying I was in Kansai; which do you think I have to choose. That, and ever penchant toward accuracy, I can not remember the name of the city in Kinki that I spotted the pencil box-- hence the general referance to Kinki... though not actually in Kinki, some of the unusual events in Japan include these: http://www.yamasa.org/japan/english/destinations/aichi/tagata_jinja.html http://www.answers.com/topic/kanamara-matsuri http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevegoestravelling/sets/72157600551157666… pretty soft to some of the Japanese anime in popular culture.... but pretty 'kinki' nevertheless.

nope, nice guesses, but neither Peggy O or CC Rider and the show was from 1982... pretty close with the year, though!! peace "The highway is for gamblers, you'd better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence"

Upon further review I've concluded that the sound bit is "Touch." If it isn't "Touch" then it's "Bertha."

Oh, yeah, about the "Playin'" Controversy: I couldn't find a real good comparison with Keith on keys as it seemed he used the Wah-Wah until Keith left and ditched it around the time that Brent came around. I definitely like both styles, but the Stratocaster + Wah-Wah is a tone that just really did something for me. Now, its not like I'd ever complain about hearing it either way, but yes, Joe, you did point out many other factors that contributed to the "not quite the samedness" of the two versions, but I did the same thing you did: I listened to so many versions of Playin' that just floored me that I forgot what I was doing! Bozo Bus: I was in a band called "San Pedro Circus" back in 2001 when I played there. We were on tour and I had a bunch of my Denver buddies show up so it was kind of extra special for me. That and I actually played well that night which I had been struggling with at the time. I think there was an opening band, but green cookies and two hours worth of basketball in the hot sun before the gig make most of it very blurry. Somebody call this tune quick before Joe starts thinking he is a genius or something. (nyuk nyuk nyuk!) )(I'm just a, well...porpoise.)(

not touch, not Bertha... nice guesses. Sken, I used to be a genius, then I realized it is more fun to be a 'fool' on the ship of fools... You thought you was the cool fool, and never would do no wrong... Heaven help the fool; guess I showed the sons of bitches Heaven help the fool, professional gimme-fiver... The wisdom of hypocrisy, the common sense of fools... Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools... peace. by the by, I've been waiting for Gypsy Soul to try this round... she was the one who coaxed me into hosting this gameshow in the first place. ain't it always the way? just when you think you are developing a fan base, they skip out on you... the show must go on.

I'm putting every upbeat song in A that I know - one at a time. "From day to day, just lettin' it ride, You get so far away from how it feels inside, You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all."

http://img142.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=th_30735_oscar_122_544lo.jpg but with imagevenue.com, use the url that says 'Hotlink Image on a Website or Auction' for some reason on this board, it does not take the other ones... and it will end up looking like this shit at the top of this post... not the cool pic of Oscar. peace.

not Cold rain and snow... please try again. I'm gonna give this round another 24 or 48 hours before I ditch it and start round two.

nice try, but nope. not Sugar Mag. OK, one hint... this particular song is the first song of a second set played in 1982. if no one guesses this one in the next 48 hours, I'll tell the answer and move on to round two. please don't touch that dial.

that the light strumming isn't the part to be keying in on. I may be wrong. Right before the clip ends it sounds like the onset of Victim.
