If You Could Shoot One Member of the Kinks, Who Would it Be?

News

Well, duh. Ray Davies, of course.

The Kinks most visable member and prolific songwriter once wrote a song entitled "(I wanna be like) Superman", but on Monday, January 5 he proved just how mortal he (sadly) remains.

59-year-old founding Kinks member, Davies, was shot in the leg while chasing a thief who had snatched the purse of the woman he was with. Davies and "friend" were walking in the French Quarter of New Orleans around 8:30pm when the shooting happened.

He was treated and later released from a local hospital and is now recuperating. One can only imagine the commiserating phone calls between Davies and fellow Limey fuck-up Ozzy Osbourne as they each relate their tales of woe.

Unsubstaniated rumours abound that the purse-snatcher thought he was shooting at either Dave Davies or "one of those other Kinks guys".

Get well soon, Ray!

Did he succeed in getting the purse back? If so, was it worth it? What was in the purse? Questions abound.


Hey look! It's Brooks!

Oh my goodness, for real! Perhaps it was a prosethesis of some kind? I don't know why it could be that, but imagine the possibilties. Perhaps a token into the overworld kingdom? Or a ham sandwhich? You decide.

Didn't even think about that. They did arrest somebody, but they weren't sure if it was the right guy or not.

I like to think that he got it back :)

Man...don't shoot Country Joe McDonald. What'd he ever do to you? If you need to shoot someone from the 60s, why not Petula Clark?


I'm sorry but I have had it! I have never heard of such a Christmas!! Sex... and drugs... an-an-and women being set on fire!

Man, if you only knew! The animosity between Country Joe and I knows no bounds!

Don't even get me started on "The Fish"...

between Country Joe and I or between Country Joe and me?

Let's see... it is the object of a preposition "between," so my first gut reaction is that it should be the objective me.
But the preposition itself is smack-dab in the subjective part of the sentence and is the theme of the sentence so the subjective I might be the way to go. And since it's right before the one and only action word, Knows, it explains why you would feel awkward typing me knows.

Do you just always use the subjective form --I when it's the object of a preposition? Hmmm.

The only thing standing between me and death were a few bread crumbs.

The only thing standing between death and I were a few bread crumbs.

English is tough. And as you can figure out prolly, I'm really not all about jumping right on the new interface I'm sposta be codin'. Me brain hurt.

Such is the danger of my quest, that in fighting evil I will be corrupted by it.
On that day my soul will submit to the savagery of war.

....but, since you can NEVER say 'between we', you can NEVER say 'between _____ and I'. if it would call for an 'us' (between us), then it calls for a 'me' (between ______ and me). so, my dear grammarians, that's the scoop.

now, why all of this country joe shit when there are still living members of the greatful dead to kill? hop to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

consult the anal gramarian (a good band name, by the way) living in your own home, things like this wouldn't happen!

You'll have to go somewhere else for your spelling consultation though, because this anal grammarian clearly isn't up to the job.

May I suggest Rat?

Sorry Rat, cheap shot - I just wanted credit for that particular cheap shot before someone else thought of it.

On both counts. Fred Durst roams the Earth freely breathing the same air as us, and you're after Country Joe?

You know my motto has always been "Kill Country Joe".

Fred Durst must go, too, however.
