    Install Linux

    Hate to display the ignorance, but how do I install VLC Media Player, please? I downloaded a tar.xz for VLC Media Player--but don't know how to "DeTar" it and install it.

    Updating Nvidia Drivers - Mint

    Setting aside the difficulties with 390 driver for a moment all I can say is Hooray! Thank you for letting us know that the 390 driver SUCKS. No wonder that choosing it (why, it's RECOMMENDED!!!) and sounds just right for my GeForce 950 GTX vidcard caused me nothing but grief. Oodles of it...

    Updating Nvidia Drivers - Mint

    In 19.1 I'm presented with the choice of two video card drivers, nvidia-driver-390 (recommenmded) and xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. The installation process chose the xserver-xorg-video-yadda. The installation process chose the one it wanted. It works fine and I'm NOT gonna mess with it. Sure...

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    My opinion is worth the same as everyone else's. She was a terrible singer, I mean bad. Other musicians shared my view of her. A pretty face never hurts.

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    Thank you for running it down. Sheryl Crow was such a bad singer in her earliest career that I was sure she'd amount to nothing. What a lucky woman. She was well paid while she learned to sing.

    An American original, we were so fortunate to have him! May he rest in peace, we will remember him fondly in the foreseeable future. Never saw Mr Clapton playing an ES335 before, fwiw.

    Shazam! This James Carr sure knew how to genuinely sing rhythm and blues! With the accent on BLUES. Thank you very much for introducing him! I was ignorant of this fine artist.

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    Well, this guy in the song had some nerve! Saw a band at Bumbershoot once. The Bassist played a pink instrument. Never had the cojones to try to pull that off. Maybe if I'd been married at the time...

    Oh I'm thankful for this ultra-resigner from the race of men. Unkinfay grateful for a stable genius. Would he listen if someone told him the truth? The definition of his greatness, COUGH, smells like the worst sewer in Calcutta. Oops, Kolkata. Didn't mean to diss the most Massa preznit ever.

    One masterpiece or what? Freddie Mercury's most famous effort. Brian May is one HELL of a guitar player plus the bassist and drummer are tip top. What a band! Thanks very much for this post!
