    It might be missing the "high maintenance," "all talk," and "cold fish" buttons.
    Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.

      Looks cool!



      Rolling Stone magazine likes Red Rocks.

      Rolling Stone magazine has ruled the best amphitheater in the United States is Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison.

      The list will be released Friday, but Washington, D.C., radio station WTOP got an advance copy and reported which venues made the cut. Red Rocks was judged to be better than even New York's Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl, which were Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.

      Rolling Stone has an ongoing "Venues That Rock" series and so far has determined which are the best clubs in America, and which are the best big rooms. Belly Up in Aspen, the Bluebird Theatre in Denver and the Fox Theater in Boulder are included in the list of the best clubs.

        This dramatic natural venue just outside Denver – named after the two huge boulders that frame its borders – can elevate a good show into a totally unforgettable night. With the exception of Madison Square Garden, no U.S. venue of this size has such an amazing pedigree: The Beatles in 1964, Jimi Hendrix in 1968, Bruce Springsteen in 1978, and so many more. Pearl Jam played Red Rocks exactly once, in 1995, and they still haven't stopped talking about it. "It was just stunning," says guitarist Mike McCready. "We were never able to get there [again]. I don't know why. I want to go back."

        Capacity: 9,450

        Fun Fact: The amphitheatre has been officially open since 1941, but the first Red Rocks concerts were actually staged here much earlier – on a temporary platform in 1906.

            I see your point, and I guess that's true of you dot pay attention and let them get one on you. I also suppose it's different with different cars.. holding their value, etc.. But as you said - all things being equal I'd rather not be paying into something that I have to give back. Essentially a long rental. Math isn't my thing, and maybe I'm wrong.

                      Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

                        This conversation is boring and not funny...but, worth pursuing.

                        Think of it this way...a lease gives you an option to leave if the car sucks...better to cut your losses than keep paying.

                        if it is a great car, the residual payment is exactly what the car is worth at that time anyway if you negotiated properly...then you can get a loan to take care of the rest or perhaps you saved that amount up whatever...better than committing to the 500 or 600 a month for 4-5 years...you hedged your best with a 350 payment for 3 years and pay exactly what it is worth after the lease is up.

                        Zero risk

                            They should film the performance at this show for the truly definitive live Van Halen DVD/BlueRay
