For all you uninformed music "fans"- MISTER ROGERS IS GOD, alright?

I'm old school, bitch!



It's such a good feeling to know you're alive.
It's such a happy feeling: You're growing inside.
And when you wake up ready to say,
"I think I'll make a snappy new day."

;)

A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?..."

:P

Who could not recognize the divinity? I mean, really?

but he's no Radiohead. :)

Crank it up to 11, man! :crazy:

Is it just me, or does anyone else here think that Presbyterian Minister Fred Rogers would have upstaged everyone at The Democratic National Convention if he had still been alive?

If Mr. Rogers could have taken the podium right after Jimmy Carter, Bush would have been packing his bags by now.

mr. rogers tried to cut in front of me in line at a ATM machine here in pittsburgh, happened a few years before he died. he seemed really jumpy, like he was in a hurry and didn't want to be on the street.

i didn't let him get away with it though, i just bullied my way up to the machine (yeah, i'm a bastard)...then i felt bad afterwards. i grew up watching him on TV! last thing i would have expected.

I really loved him as a kid, and what was great was that I grew up and he was still wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Rogers.

Fred Rogers would have loved it.

By Barbara Vancheri and Rob Owen, Post-Gazette Staff Writers

A group of about a half dozen members of an anti-gay organization gathered at the intersection of Penn Avenue and Sixth Street to protest what they called Rogers' failure to condemn homosexuality. The group, which included an 8-year-old girl, held signs expressing their hatred of gays and, while standing on a torn American flag, their hatred of America.

They were met by about 150 counter-demonstrators, members of gay rights and peace groups, who marched along the sidewalks and sang songs from Rogers' program while holding signs calling for love and tolerance. While there were some heated exchanges, there were no arrests either there or at three other sites -- the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the University of Pittsburgh and Chatham College.

The anti-gay group, members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, has a history of picketing at funerals of gays and those they accuse of being supportive of gays. It is led by Fred Phelps, a self-proclaimed minister and disbarred attorney. He was not present at the demonstration yesterday.

going for the day.

No sarcasm intended; I don't mind a good cathartic cry now and again. As for the Phelps Mafia, this is what I take away:

The protesters were no match for the thankful sentiments, solemn and cheerful music and occasional bouts of hearty laughter inside Heinz Hall.
