Farm Equipment Mechanics
The U.S. Department of Labor reports that employment of farm equipment mechanics will grow about as fast as the average for all occupations through 2022. Although modern farm equipment has become more efficient and dependable, the increasing complexity of machinery, the growing population (which requires more food), and the increasing use of farm equipment to make biofuels will create good opportunities for farm equipment mechanics. To be competitive in the job market, farm equipment mechanics should complete a formal college training program.

Here's an image spot for WTIC-TV (channel 61), a Connecticut television station that affiliated with FOX in 1986. Prior to that it was independent. The spot is from October of 1992 and was likely part of the station's 1992-1993 image campaign. Although it features FOX network programming like The Simpsons and Married… with Children, it is most definitely promoting the station, not the network. The WTIC News at 10 is briefly seen, as are syndicated programs like Star Trek: The Next Generation (first-run) and Full House (off-network).
The spot starts abruptly but I don't know if it was supposed to run for 45 seconds or a full minute. If the latter, a good chunk of the spot is missing.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

An amazing trip to the ends of reality, we have gone through Bolivia during a tour in South America in August 2010. Before leaving we had only a generic idea of this land because none of our friends travellers had ever been there, none of the travel agencies had ever suggested us this destination, just a couple of years before we had the luck to see a report on salar de Uyuni that stimulated our curiosity.
We were amply rewarded by breathtaking landscapes, mysterious archeological sites and beautiful churches of the Jesuit Missions.

'Grease Sing-A-Long' trailer cuts cigarette from iconic scene
Smoking was not removed from the film itself
Published: Friday, June 4, 2010 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 4, 2010 at 7:21 a.m.
The film trailer for "Grease Sing-A-Long" is sticky-sweet candy for the diehard "Grease" fans. The 1978 film has been restored, providing a crystal-clear springboard for the singing greasers bursting out of Rydell High.
Smoking section
- To see the original shot of Danny Zuko with his cigarette, go to www.travolta.com and click "GALLERY" and then "VIDEO Galleries."
- To see the shot sans smoke, watch the sanitized trailer at www.greasemovie.com.
That said, the trailer also may light a small fire for the film's faithful.
Early in the movie, John Travolta's character Danny Zuko has his back to the audience. The camera closes in on his black T-Birds leather jacket and perfect pompadour. Slowly, he turns and those blue Travolta eyes greet the viewer. He offers a sly smile, as a lit cigarette hangs from his lips. It's one of the film's most indelible images, a clip that still appears on Travolta's own website.
The "Grease Sing-A-Long" trailer opens with this very scene. Missing, however, is the cigarette.
Paramount Pictures digitally removed the cigarette from just the trailer. While teens smoking at school may have been cool in the 1950s, teen smoking is a sensitive and serious issue these days.
"We didn't want to have an issue with that. In ad materials, it felt very unnecessary. We cleaned that piece up," said Megan Colligan, Paramount's co-president of marketing.
"A lot of things have changed since the movie was made. There are sensitivities."
She said Paramount only removed the cigarette in the trailer. Smoking was prevalent throughout the film (these are T-Birds and Pink Ladies, after all), and cigarettes play into other key scenes. Thus, no cigarettes were removed in the film itself.
"No, he's smoking away in the movie," Colligan said about Travolta's Zuko.
This is certainly not the first cleansing of a classic (even if just the trailer). Guns were removed in the domestic trailer for "Indiana Jones 4," while Steven Spielberg replaced guns with walkie-talkies in later editions of "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."

I have just learned of a wonderful website called LibriVox where volunteers are recording free MP3 audiobooks of texts in the public domain. Someone is currently recording Julian of Norwich (it's a guy, alas; I hope a woman will record it at some point in the future) and two of Evelyn Underhill's books are available in MP3 format as well: Mysticism and The Life of the Spirit and the Life of To-Day. I haven't searched any further to see what other treasures are currently available (the Underhill texts will keep me busy for a while), but I suspect many gems can be found herein – and LibriVox is looking for volunteers to keep recording more public domain texts. What a wonderful way to disseminate mystical wisdom – and what a great, free alternative to buying books!

When my mother-in-law Alice grew old she moved in with Ginny (my wife) and I and we lived as an extended family. Alice loved reading the newspaper and books but eventually lost her sight at about 90 years old. The Society of the Blind provided a library of audio books and a machine that Alice eventually became fond of and the library was extensive enough to have audio books she liked. Alice passed away at 96 two years ago. The use for this type site is evident in many ways from education to enlightenment.
This is a very well visioned site it seems to me, and audio of excellent quality. I derives it's content from Project Gutenburg and is an entirely volunteer run site. I listened to the Preface to the 12th edition of "Mysticism" by Evelyn Underhill and found it simply wonderful.
As I personelly explore mysticism it really helps to have audio in addition to text as a student. Thanks for the link.

I'm using one of the new google api fonts for a heading on a site. It's Yannone Kaffeesatz and is quite a condensed typeface.
My font stack is as follows:
font-family: 'Yanone Kaffeesatz', arial, serif;
This is fine when the Yannone Kaffeesatz font renders, but if it doesn't, Arial is much more open and the heading spans over two lines.
My question is:
Is it possible to use a different font-size depending on which font is rendered on the page?

Greggo Explains His Wacko
Let me start off by stating that I only heard the opening minutes of 103.3 FM ESPN's Choppy & Greggo last night. But just in that smidge, Greg Williams sounded, well, incoherent.
First he said something about "ChoppyGreggo" and then some garble and then some mumbling and then something about "6 o'clock." The show aired from 7-8 p.m.
Williams' sidekick, RJ Choppy, sounded taken aback. I'm paraphrasing, but Choppy said something to the affect of ... "I guess tonight Greggo's inventing a new language."
I awoke this morning to several emails and phone calls alerting me/concerned about Williams. He does have, remember, a history.
Again, I didn't hear these, but multiple people have suggested Greggo:
*Made an obscure reference to his affection for submarines when the show's topic was clearly Mavs-Nuggets.
*Blurted out something along the lines of "Capital, I, pinch, pinch, one ... (long pause) ... I mean ..."
For a translation/explanation, I called Greggo this afternoon.
"I switched anti-depressant medication," Williams told me. "I felt a little out of it last night, yeah."
While his doctors tweak medications, dosages, etc., Williams will take at least tonight off.

Active Citizens Celebration 2015
How do you serve?
You've put community front and center this year, and now we want to return the favor. Join us at 7pm on April 8th for a celebration of service and community at William and Mary (including desserts)!
Besides showing up you can:
- RSVP so we know how many cupcakes (and other treats) to order
- Nominate yourself and others for our awards (below);
- Send in photos for the slideshow we'll be playing (Be sure to include your name/group name in the image title) to [[efmiller, Elizabeth Miller]];
- Submit stories of the impact you (or your organization) have had this year—We'll be sharing those too;
- And add to the playlist for the evening. Which song is your active citizen motivator?
2015 Award Applications
Each year we recognize outstanding individuals and organizations for their work in promoting positive, community-driven social change. We encourage you to apply for an award yourself or sending a nomination to [[efmiller, Elizabeth Miller]] (The nominee will then receive notification and the appropriate application). All awards will be presented at the April 8th celebration.
All applications should be submitted by 12 pm April 1st, 2015. Further details provided in each application.
Freshman Service Award: Recognizing one outstanding freshman annually for their commitment to service
Spirit of Service: Recognizing two non-graduating students who have demonstrated active engagement in addressing community concerns through individual or organizational initiatives and grown as active citizens through their work
Service Organization of the Year: Recognizing an outstanding student organization whose primary mission is service in partnership with the community
Tradition of Service: Recognizing one graduating student who has demonstrated a tradition of active engagement in addressing community concerns through individual or group initiatives, and has grown as an active citizen through their work
Thank you to all of the W&M students, faculty, staff, and community partners who have worked together this year to promote positive, community driven social change.
President's Award for Service to the Community
The President's Office and The Office of Community Engagement select recipients of the President's Award for Service to the Community. Each year one award is given to a student and one to a faculty or staff member who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to service.
In April, the President's Office puts out a call for nominations via the W&M Digest. Any member of the College community (faculty or staff, full or part time) may be nominated. Nominations, consisting only of the nominee's name and contact information, should be submitted to [[megentry, Liz Gentry]] via email by May 15th, 2015. An application is then sent to the nominee.. Applicants are notified of their status in late June.
Individuals chosen have made a significant and measurable impact on the community. Although we want to recognize people with a proven commitment to service, the impact of their service need not be wide (for example, a volunteer who has helped to improve significantly the quality of a battered women's life will be as eligible as someone who has worked with several grade school students). This award will recognize the quality of service first, the quantity second.
The award carries a prize of $500, which is donated, in the name of the award recipient, to a community service organization of the recipient's choice. The winners are recognized at Opening Convocation.

The Calm Before The Storm
Earth Plus
Earth Plus is essentially our modern Earth, with a few key variations. Magical and supernatural forces of all sorts at one time in the past were commonly understood and accepted. That is not to say, however, that anyone could pick up a spellbook and start warping reality to his whim, nor is it to imply that werewolves, unicorns, and other mythic beasts could be found at every turn. An accurate representation would be that even common people of the old days, with their limited education, understood what magic was (though largely never understood how it worked), and how it affected them in their daily lives. People who lived near certain bleak forests would wear talismans of silver to ward off were-beasts, gods were worshiped who may or may not have walked with men and granted favor, a Pharaohs curse was a viable and real threat, and everyone knew not to cross the queer old man with the long beard and the books.
But then it all changed.
At some point or another, the well dried up, as they say, and for reasons not entirely certain to anyone at the time, most supernatural forces and elements ebbed away; magic is dead and long forgotten. By the time the crusades came around, the few fantastic things remaining in this world were killed, burned, confiscated, sealed, and otherwise purged into oblivion.
The Age of Enlightenment came, further eschewing "the old ways", delving into science and philosophy; the only esoteric theories and debates were philosophical in nature. By the time the Industrial Revolution hit and the Modern Age spewed forth from it, all that talk of dragons and fairies became silly children's tales. No one actually believes in vampires; they have become a pop-culture trope for young girls and "brooding, misunderstood artistic types". This is mostly because there hasn't been a serious accusation of sorcery since the time of those infamous trials at Salem, but partly because somewhere, deep in the twisted hollows of man's primal fears and subconscious, we are glad to be rid of it. It is easier to live in a world where you are at the top of the food chain; its best for all not to explore or discuss such things.

Using silly cat photos as reference for pony poses
Awwww this is so cute! I love Bon Bon!
Hehe, this is just silly~
Finally! A picture of Bon Bon sans Lyra that I actually want to save to my hard drive! Bonz needs more love :/
damn bon bon soooo flexibllllllllllleeeeeee
zomg I've never seen her looking more adorable
So fluffy.
So cute!
Now you have done Catbon in both long and non-long variety. This is great, but Longbon is still my favorite Alternativebon.
Am I mistaken, or did you give her a vagina?
you are mistaken. The tail kind of awkwardly ended up overlapping the other hind let, you're probably seeing one of the fluff lines of the tail, intersecting the little bit of the edge of the hind leg crease that is visible
D'awww, I love the frizzy mane. eue
I bet some people here are wanting to eat a bon-bon.
Same comment as on the other one.
I love those pose so much. Lol silly pony xD
Silly Bon Bon!
I think this is amazing—one of the most beautiful things I've seen, both from you, and in general, heh. Oh, what a wonderful job. ^_^
this is the cutest bonbon i have seen
I love the shade in this one.

This is not really "good news" for a "supporter" of Vista .
The Win8 adaption rate gets lower each month and is so much slower compared to Vista.
The data can be read in terms of "diifferential interest" over the "previous OS" .
Vista -> slow rate as perceived as not much an improvement over XP
7 -> fast rate as perceived as lots of improvements over Vista
8 -> slow rate as perceived as not much an improvement over 7
Though we all know how 7 is a further Service Pack to Vista actually bettering it and 8 is a further Service Pack actually MUCH worsening it (at least when it comes to interface).

This is where you are correct but not correct at the same time.
Yes, there are no gears for the 12s, but you can certainly find a way to get gears swapped in.
I have a 12 and have had my gears done (4.56) since early August. Probably the first 12 to get this done
This is no way directly directed to you Mattman13.
Yes we all expected gas to take a dip but not to the extent of what each of you and I were getting.
For those who say to suck it up, that's easier said than done. You say that cause you haven't lifted your truck or have and just in denial, but you all know it sucks massive donkey dick (candy08
Regardless, GEARS ARE DOABLE!
My MPGs didn't increase that much better, I got 1-2 gallons more at best as the truck still has wind resistance. But performance was back
I have played with ALL factors (lowered my truck, played with different tires) in a way to get better MPGs, have a lifted truck and to still have performace if not better performance than when I was at stock.
Presently I'm on a 6" lift with Bilsteins at 1.4 and I am now running 35" ATs for winter. My MPGs are better than when I was at stock.
I've never seen 16-17 MPGs (i avg 15.5) before and I am seeing those numbers now. I also haven't taken the truck that far of a distance to see how much better it gets.
My truck is still lifted and hauls ass (due to my effective gear ratio being 4.27 (4.56 and 35's))
Tuner helped out as well!
My only gripe with these 35's and 4.56 is my RPM at 70-75 is 2100-2200 and my exhaust now buzzes in my ear. I have a 22" Maggie so it's very bearable, but this was not the case when my RPMs were lower.
Ill be moving back to 37's once my next mod gets installed.
The short of what I'm saying is, gears ARE doable for a 12, you just need to speak to the right guys and look to pay more than normal ($500-$1000 more)
There is a difference between AT and MT tires and 35's vs 37's and what they do for you driving wise. There is also an impact to height you lift your truck too!
So UNDERSTAND what you want to do (daily driver, weekend vehicle, what ever) with your truck and choose the right setup for you.
You want 37's with a 8-9" lift and 3.55, be ready to have a truck that sucks balls for gas and off the line pull. If you're already complaining about gas, DO NOT bother towing anything heavy otherwise you'll shoot yourself.
This topic is beaten to death all day and all year long.
Most just assume they want a lifted truck because it looks badass not understanding the consequences that follow. This was me!!!
Then we see these type of threads all the time.
But let me tell you, I've spent the money to correct this for myself and I am now fully satisfied if not extremely pleased with driving my truck as a DD and driving it how I want to with a smile

I got over the whole "fear shaky" thing by basically just not worrying about getting hurt.
Well, I do get a little shaky sometimes if I'm startled, but if I know a fight's coming or may be happening, I just stop giving a damn about what might happen.
I train sometimes in kendo and there's a little phrase about swordfighting that's pretty appropriate: "In a conflict between swords, the winner is the one who is cut the least."

Fear is also a pretty helpful biological response. The OP mentioned a situation where it sounded advantageous to be afraid. all the MA in the world become pretty useless against 30 opponents.
Say someone has a knife to your back, and they're demanding that you give them your money. A person with any trace of self-preservation should give in to fear and hand their money over- EVEN if you're a fucking Krav Maga expert who has practiced that disarm 1,000,000 times.
I guess my point is, fear is a useful way to not get dead- especially on the street.
now to everyone talking about MA in a competitive setting, I agree with controlling your fear, but on the street, the only time it makes sense to gamble with your life and attempt to Bruce Lee someone is if you have to in order to leave with your life, or you have to in order to be able to run away safely.
or maybe I'm just a *****.
5/09/2010 4:56am, #23--
There's a balance that needs to be struck between being too afraid and being too overconfident. Both will get you into real trouble and that's why full contact competition is the best method to show you your limits within a relatively safe environment.
Nothings perfect and nothings going to prepare everyone for everything but balls to the wall pressure testing through competing is on of the best ways to be prepared.

If it's fear during sparring then time and experience takes the fear away. But in a real fight or attack, when your adrenaline dumps and you can't think properly anymore. There is no way to stop this during a traumatic event. You will revert to your most basic functions geared for survival. If you have trained well, hopefully you will react in the right way. After you run away and survive, you can change your underwear.
Real fear is not the sort of thing you can simply will away on the spot. It has to pass. IMO.
Competing will bring out the adrenaline dump so you can get used to working with it.
With sparring, a lot of the time you won't have that feeling. But what our coach will sometimes do is make us all circle around and then he will pair us up and make us spar or grapple to a timer while everyone watches and he will score us out loud as we spar or roll. That really makes the adrenaline dump.

I think a few of us are landing in the same palce - that fear response is autonomic and you can't avoid it, only learn to manage it.

During times of hard markets adjustments Shorts are a negative to recovery.
Shorting should be outlawed as it has ruined our market.
Shorting is bad? Its just a more aggressive way of saying "sell". You make decisions like that every day.
The SEC needs new leadership. Cox even looks like he is in over his head. Even Cramer has awakened to that point of view.

Guided by global voices
I write this only days after the annual Data Privacy Day. Data Privacy Day created a lot of buzz in this, its third year. Privacy regulators, governments, organizations, and businesses in 29 nations recognized the day in various ways. We were pleased to see so many IAPP members playing a big part in generating awareness about the important and challenging issues we work on every day.
The federal privacy commissioner of Canada, Jennifer Stoddart, perhaps put it best in her Data Privacy Day proclamation when she said that in today's wired world, protecting and promoting privacy rights demands a coordinated approach. "This cannot be done on a province-by-province or country-by-country basis…," she wrote. "The only way to achieve meaningful progress in such a complex environment is to work collectively to find broader solutions."
Commissioner Stoddart and many other privacy regulators will join us next month in Washington, DC. Data protection authorities presenting at the Privacy Summit include Yann Padova, secretary general of the CNIL; Artemi Rallo, director of the Spanish Data Protection Agency; Yoram Hocohen, head of the Israeli Law Information and Technology Authority; Richard Thomas, UK information commissioner; Joanne McNabb, head of the California Office of Privacy Protection; and former privacy commissioner of Australia, Malcolm Crompton among others.
Where else can you interact with so many privacy regulators and the experts who help shape their policies?
We are also very excited to bring Frank Abagnale and Bruce Schneier to this year's Summit. Frank Abagnale's illustrious if brief career as an identity fraud extraordinaire makes him especially qualified to help fight identity crime, which is what he's been doing for the last three decades. We look forward to Frank's keynote address and breakout fraud seminar: "The Art of the Steal."
Bruce Schneier previews his Summit keynote address in this issue of Privacy Advisor. See page 9 for more.
The IAPP Privacy Summit has become the largest and most global privacy event in the world. The area is growing, the issues are compounding, and this year's event reflects that, with more than 60 educational and networking sessions from which to choose. We hope you will join us.

Barefoot Boy

Barefoot Boy is Larry Coryell's first and only album for the Flying Dutchman label, a company created by Impulse! Records founder Bob Thiele. The album was produced by Thiele, with production assistance from Lillian Seyfert and engineered by Eddie Kramer. Barefoot Boy was recorded at Electric Ladyland in New York, according to the album's liner note with a certain level of spontaneity. The first-cut - a distinctive version of "Gypsy Queen", the well-covered Gábor Szabó tune made famous by Santana on the album Abraxas - featured Coryell and saxophonist Steve Marcus soloing over a propulsive rhythm put down by Roy Haynes and percussionists Lawrence Killian and Harry Wilkinson. Using heavy distortion throughout, Coryell's playing was at its most rock on the track. Based on a boogaloo beat, and with bassist Mervin Bronson added to the line-up, his playing on the filming "The Great Escape" was bluesier and less extreme. The album's third and final track, the side-long modal tour-de-force "Call to the Higher Consciousness", showed Coryell playing in a traditional jazz style, with an opening sax solo by Steve Marcus, sensitive drum work from Roy Haynes and the group augmented by pianist Mike Mandel.
Original liner notes by Bob Palmer[edit]
|Spontaneity is the spark that fires the music of Larry Coryell, and this is especially true of the Coryell represented on this album. Larry was an original on his very first recordings with Chico Hamilton and with The Free Spirits, produced by Bob Thiele, and he has continued to grow through the succeeding years. He is now a guitar player's guitar player, but... his outstanding quality is still the warmth and joy he communicates through moment-to-moment creation.
A sharp, icy wind was blowing the nights of these sessions, and Coryell and his musicians arrived at Electric Lady studios ready to burn. Ace engineer Eddie Kramer was ready behind the dials, so that there were few wasted moments, and no false starts. The musicians got right down to business, and Kramer made sure their first efforts were captured with balance and fidelity, so that second takes were unnecessary. It should come as no surprise that the studio which is now a monument to one of the great ELECTRIC guitarists of the age, Jimi Hendrix, inspired Coryell to make his most ELECTRIC recording to date. Gabor Szabo's "Gypsy Queen", also recorded by Santana, is an especially strong example of how Larry combines the fleet-fingered imagination of a jazzman with the use of feedback and textural effects pioneered by rock guitarists like Hendrix.
"Gypsy Queen" was the result of the presence of some players and the absence of others early on the second night of recording. The rhythm section of drum veteran Roy Haynes, percussionist Harry Wilkinson (who handles the drum set in Coryell's performing group), and conga player Lawrence Killian locked together immediately into an engine of unbelievable power, and Coryell and saxophonist Steve Marcus, left to shoulder the entire melodic and harmonic weight, responded to the challenge with playing that had the listeners in the control booth first sitting on the edge of their seats, them smiling broadly, and finally jumping up and down. It was one of those examples of turning an unlooked-for situation to great advantage that makes the creativity of improvised music even more exciting than it ordinarily is.
The addition of Mervin Bronson, a rock-solid Soul Man, on bass, and, at the second session, pianist Michael Mandel, rounded out a fine group and made a more lyrical approach possible. Yet the music, even at its prettiest, retained the fire and inspiration of "Gypsy Queen". The atmosphere at Electric Lady contributed to a balance of free expression and technical precision that gave the music room to grow and become, so that the resulting album displays both the singular chops and the singular warmth of Larry Coryell, complemented by a variegated and committed group of fine musicians.

A little back story, I'm a UNC grad who is traveling on a road trip thru America and I'll be coming thru UNC for homecoming weekend and wanted to catch this show while I'm in town. Just looking for a single ticket, so if you hear of any or have one of your own to sell, I'd love buy one.

Look on stubhub there might be some tickets there but you'll pay for it.
Here's a link: http://www.stubhub.com/macklemore-tickets/macklemore-carrboro-cats-cradle-11-9-2012-4140058/
You'll probably end up paying 60 all together. Craigslist might have some as well

This Sunday, the Falcons (6-0) travel North to Philadelphia to face the Eagles (3-3). Both teams are coming off byes and are looking to improve their records.The Eagles are a difficult team to figure out. They have lost 2 straight games and are looking to earn a big win against the Falcons on Sunday. There are a lot of problems surrounding the Eagles and many of them are centered on Mike Vick. The performance by Vick this year has been very poor at best. He has thrown 8 interceptions and fumbled the ball 9 times so far this year. This has caused some people to speculate that Vick my be in danger of losing his starting job if he does not improve soon.The turnover issue for the Eagles is something the Falcons are going to try to exploit as the Eagles are last in the NFC in turnover differential at -9. The Falcons are on the opposite end of the spectrum as they are 2nd in the NFC in turnover differential at +10. Turnovers have been a big reason why the Falcons are the only unbeat...

I say rock on. You are so right on.
Nobody realizes what Johnny Cash did. How brave it was for him to do something so different.
What's wrong with Nickleback? I didn't know there was such a love hate for the band.
Business is a lot more fun when you learn from rock stars instead of text books. If your ears are open, you'll find that many essential business lessons are coming through your speakers. Turn it up to "11" and sing along to the 12 Most Compelling Business Lessons from Rock Stars, adapted from the pages of the book "Brand Like A Rock Star: Lessons From Rock 'n' Roll To Make Your Business Rich and Famous."
There was nobody like them. They wore elaborate make-up, spit blood, breathed fire, and blew stuff up on stage. Because of that, they got noticed. Getting noticed is the first critical step in marketing. If you don't get noticed, you don't exist… and you'll never have the chance to prove to anyone how great you are.
Every album has the same iconic font. Every picture of the band has Angus wearing a school boy outfit. And they never sing about starving children in the third world or the angst of a relationship that ends badly. If your business isn't consistent, people will never know what to really expect from you.
The whole world hates Nickelback. Yet they've sold over 50 million albums and continue to sell out concerts everywhere, every night. Nickelback knows that if just 10% of the population loves them, the other 90% don't matter. Having people hate your brand is a positive thing. It means they know you and understand what you're about. As long as you have people who feel just as strongly towards you, having haters rocks.
They only ever had one album, but they made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because they shocked the world with their antics. Manager Malcolm McLaren carefully constructed chaos around his band everywhere they went, making the news at every turn. He knew that if people were talking about his band, they would come see his band and buy their records. He was right, and the same applies to your brand.
They gave away their music. Fans were invited to record and share the live shows. The Grateful Dead knew that spreading their music, even for free, would result in more ticket and album sales. It was a brilliant move and helped make them one of the top-grossing live bands of the 1970s and 80s. Does your company give something away in order to build a tribe of passionate followers? It doesn't have to be product. You can give away time, knowledge, and expertise.
When Bob Marley started making music, the word "reggae" didn't exist. That's how small his niche was! He became one of the top-selling stars in music by being intensely dedicated to his craft. Bob Marley didn't make any other kind of music, and never compromised in order to reach more fans. Great brands have that same focus, clearly establishing a singular point of differentiation.
Their 1965 hit "Barbara Ann" was full of mistakes. People were drunk in the studio, singing along to a song that they didn't know the words to. And the Beach Boys left them all in. The song connected with people because it was real… it actually sounded like a party-in-progress. When your business exposes some flaws, intentionally, it becomes human, allowing people to fall in love with your brand in an entirely new and personal way.
His career was over. When Johnny Cash went into the studio to work with hip hop and rock producer Rick Rubin, he was a long-since faded star. It took guts to work with Rubin, and to record covers of songs by Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden, and other alternative rock stars. Johnny Cash went out on a limb, and the result was a series of albums that revived his career and cemented is status forever. Have the bravery to take a few calculated risks, like Johnny Cash did, and great things could happen.
He spent 18 years and a reported $13 million dollars making the most expensive album ever recorded, Guns N Roses "Chinese Democracy". For 13 years we heard how epic this album would be, and when it finally came out it was a monumental let down. Yet musically, it wasn't that bad. It is remembered as a failure because of hype. Hype is empty. Instead of selling us empty hype, create honest anticipation for your brand.
Bob Dylan did whatever he wanted. He went electric when everyone wanted him to sing folk songs. He recorded a Christmas album when people least expected it. Bob Dylan has remained true to Bob Dylan. Great brands have that sense of purpose. They have a set of internal values and they remain true to them, quickly finding out that there are millions of people who share those very same values.
The 2007 Zeppelin reunion concert broke records for ticket demand. Over 20 million ticket requests were made for the 20,000 seats at London's O2 Arena, crashing servers instantly. Since breaking up after the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980, Led Zeppelin has rarely played together. When supply is that low, and demand is that high, the value of a ticket goes way up. There's nothing wrong with working the supply-and-demand equation in your favor. Keep demand high and make your product somewhat scarce, and you'll increase the perceived value for your brand.
Where can you see thousands of people wearing coconut bras and grass skirts, drinking margaritas? A Jimmy Buffett concert isn't about the music, it is about the unique experience. Great brands don't sell products, they sell experiences. Those experiences are what we are buying into. Give your customers a really cool experience instead of pitching them another product that they don't know they need.
Think about it! What rock stars have affected the way you might think in business. Let's discuss in the comments.

Wow, that was a trip down memory lane. I loved the attributes you came up with for each artist. I thought the NickelBack one was funny yet candid. That 10% can do wonders for the pocketbook. And as a Dad that works out at Lifetime Fitness, I get misty eyed every time I see the video for "Never Going to be Alone". I have two daughters, so you will understand if you watch the video ;)
Steve - After reading your list, I am going to have to go out and buy your book.
I luvved that you included Johnny Cash. His music with Rick Rubin was some of the most amazing that I have heard. I saw him in concert about 12 years ago and he converted me into a strong fan.
I Love Rock ..and do I dare say there is nothing like a good Guns and Roses song..Great post Steve
How about: "be as current as Lady Gaga?" Is there any artist who defines this moment more than she does?
Awesome post, Steve! Love your penchant for using rock stars to explain branding. No one does it better, and it's a crystal clear way of explaining how having a great product is one thing, but being unique and doing your thing is what really stands out and creates fierce loyalty.
Adding to what's been said here on the Beatles: how about compassion and striving to rise to a higher standard than "just" your great "product". And along those lines, how about Bono and U2 too?
Welcome to 12 Most — keep 'em comin'!
Welcome to 12 Most Steve!
Love your first post - what a nice spin on branding! (humor for people who remember records)
Music certainly influences us and our moods. Musicians also fill media with their concerts, relationships and antics. Great examples! Can't wait for more from you.
You left out ABBA! I'd say, be as groundbreaking as ABBA. Though they're considered kitschy (sp?) now, they were one of the first bands to innovate music videos, not to mention being the first pop band from a non-English speaking country to enjoy success in English-speaking countries. They're still one of the top sellers - I believe they sell 2-3 million albums a year (Wikipedia), which is pretty amazing given that they broke up in 1982.
Yes, I'm a fan. A HUGE one!
Latest blog post: Letter From Jamaica
Agreed on The Beatles. I compare them to Apple in my presentations, in that every time they recorded something new, they pushed the limits and demonstrated new ways to use technology. And interestingly, they did it all on "Apple Records". Coincidence?
I watched the Nickelback spoof video on "funny or die", and they certainly have their own sense of humor about being hated. Works for them:)
And Jimmy Buffett and Margaritaville? Who else has created an empire out of one song?
And KISS? Love 'em or hate 'em, they are a quintessential brand.
Great post: love music: love the connection. Cheers! Kaarina
Nice list. I would add "be as innovative as The Beatles" these were four guys who did not let success trap them. They created new and unique sounds that are still being copied today.
@spofcher I'm honored and grateful that you'll be buying the book. Make sure you send me your address and I'll send a signed/personalized cover insert. Or use Kindlegraph if you go digital. Johnny Cash is amazing, and I compare his comeback to the revival of brands like Old Spice... brands we all wrote off as irrelevant but managed to come roaring back in ways we never expected.
@JodiOkun Thanks for the kind words. I agree on GnR! There is a chapter in the book about them, although it deals with the way Axl managed to ruin "Chinese Democracy" by creating false hype instead of honest anticipation.
@sharongreenthal You could also cite Gaga for having the integrity to stand up for issues and matters that matter to her. She's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, and others rally around her for that.
@PaulBiedermann Thanks so much Paul, for both the kind words and inspiration for future posts!
@Shonali I definitely didn't forget ABBA Shonali! They are in the book... Chapter 17 is called "ABBA-fy Your Brand". ABBA is brilliant and deserves incredible credit, not just for what they did during their prime, but for their courage NOT to reunite for money. They don't want to ruin the youthful and exhuberant image that their fans have of them, so they refuse to reunite and tarnish that image... even though they were offered a rumored one BILLION dollars for a 100-city world tour.
Sorry they didn't make the post on 12Most, but they are absolutely in the book!
@NancyD68 I.love.The Beatles.:))))
@grooveradio I especially admire her work combating bullying. She uses her fame and popularity in such positive ways.
@grooveradio Phew!

Brooklyn Power Couple Also Consciously Uncoupling
No, not the de Blasios (God forbid!). Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss.
No, not the de Blasios (God forbid!). But now we know why Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss, the literary Jay Z and Beyoncé, are selling their $14.5 million mansion, complete with a "Tiffany stained glass conservatory," in Park Slope: "Page Six" reports that the authors have legally separated, with a rep confirming they "split amicably about a year ago." While the "magical," six-bedroom house hasn't sold yet, Foer relocated to Boerum Hill, and to keep things extra GOOP-y, the couple "have chosen to live in close proximity in order to raise their children." But we'll see how amicable the split really was when their next books come out.

I finally got to meet Bob Langrish. As an aspiring photographer, it was amazing. He was so nice. And whats even better, I finally, after trying for years, got my horses to his photo shoot. The pictures will be on his website in a week or so. And i get a cd with all the photos he took. I cant wait. It was such an awesome experience. Now just hoping they will make it in a calender next year or one of his books. Lol.

That's exciting!
...very very jealous...
I've always like Langrish's work.
Never had the money to have any of my horses photographed professionally, although I did work with Johnny Johnston several years ago as an assistant on a photo shoot he was doing for the local Arabian group.
Although he was doing it at a reduced rate, I still couldn't afford it. I'm poor. I have horses! :-P
Well, i got my cd with the pics. They are amazing. As soon as i get to a computer with internet, you will get a picture overload.
