Right. And...? You prefer Styx?

Tough call. Sort of like choosing between haggis and vegamite.

Is that your issue?

The point is that the music at ski resorts usually sucks. Sometimes you
have a liftie who chooses his/her own and it's actually palatable, but
mostly it's dreck.

I've taken to skiing with my MP3 player. The music somehow always seems
to fit my tastes.

I dunno. When I was in Alta recently, they played Dead throughout most of
the base area and at the mid-station ski demo place they were cranking Pink
Floyd and/or bands covering Floyd tunes. It was very nice.


Sounds like hell.

I like the music at MidMountain at PC. All classical.

Heh, to each there own. I like almost all kinds of music, dependent on the
moment. I like classical mid-mountain at PC, I like Dead base at Alta, I
like Pink Floyd mid-mountain Alta, I like absolute quiet much of the time
too. Sometimes I'll use a tiny mp3 player when skiing. Most of the time the
whoosh whoosh is music enough. I'm not sure why you felt the need to insult
my tastes in music. I didn't insult yours.

Peace out.

Insult? You have pretty thin skin.. I have a lot fo Dead and have seen
them many times, but to play it to the masses and expecting them to
like it is silly. Think heliskiing or farting in an elevator. I won't
insult your music if you don't make me listen to it.

I don't mind The Dead - my kind of music; San Francisco in the 60s and
all that (I was there; I have documented evidence in the form of unpaid
bills in a box somewhere; I just wish I could remember it.)

I don't even mind music on ski slopes IF it's a personal boom box being
played by a lifty to keep from going bonkers talking to tourists: but I
Absolutely RESENT broadcast music when I'm in the mountains. What's
wrong with the sound of wind in the trees, the squeals of small animals
as my edges cut them to pieces? I ask you, aren't natural sounds better
when you're in the mountains?

Sybil, make up your mind. In 1 sentence you say you have a lot of Dead, seen
'em many times etc... then say you won't insult my music if I don't
ostensibly make you listen to the Dead. Uhhhhhh....that does not
compute....error....Will Robinson.....Logic is a little bird tweeting in

Agree 100%. The odd thing is how much money the resorts spend annoying
their customers.

I really like them too. But every time I hear Badge (or While My

an official band. (probably woman troubles....)


Didn't they tour Japan together? And wasn't that recorded? Ah here it is:

Looking at the track list, I don't see "Badge". WTF???

I remember reading an interview with Clapton, where he talks about
touring Japan with Harrison. He said "Sometimes when we're playing
'Layla' I wonder what's going through his mind".
