It's already been said but here it is again - \nOn the 2/14/06 Oprah show he said that he wanted to be a full-time dad while his girls where growing up.  His mom gave up her music career for the kids and he put his on hold.  Also, he said that he wants to be able to tear it down in one city and be able to look at the next on the tour and go "Your *** is next." and he can't do that right now and be there for his girls.  His youngest will be 18 in 10 years and then if there is still a place for him, he'll come back.\nBut, as you can see, he still puts out music, so we will probably hear from him more that way even though he isn't touring.

I don't see why it would be bad? He isn't retiring until after Wimbledon. when he does retire the German player Florian Mayer can have a chance next time.

He was a Houston Astro, but is now a free agent. He said he was going to retire after the World Baseball Classic, but no one who says that they're going to retire really does retire. He can rejoin the Astros this season, though, after May 1, 2006.

I don't think she hates it, she just outgrew it. I went to one of her concerts and she changed all of her old songs to fit in with her newer, more mature, image. It would just seem kind of ridiculous to endorse the song now that she's 52 or 53.

I don't buy that he will retire.  He is arrogrant and will want the record all for himself.  If he doesn't break it within the next year year, he'll probably demand to go to an AL team where he can DH and hit out of the park without having to worry about the phyiscal strain of playing the field on the steroid-less body.\n\nI always thought that he would break Ruth's and then stop because the public scrutiny for number 2 is always less than number 1.  But I don't think he will stop and I think he will break the record, unfortunately.  And although Aaron will never say it outright, he will be disappointed that his record wasn't broken by someone with class and dignity, but by someone who will always have the collective consciousness of an asterik next to his name.

By the way, if this is the worst thing you guys have to argue about - you're pretty lucky :-))\n\nSounds to me like you are both right. I always thought it was about a relationship (not necessarily divorce, tho). But if you look at the lyrics (below), some of the verses sound like they're about a relationship, and some about life in general.\n\nBut if your husband heard Garth Brooks say what the song was about - well, I guess Mr Brooks would be the one who would know....\n\n"The Dance"\n\nLooking back on the memory of\nThe dance we shared 'neath the stars above\nFor a moment all the world was right\nHow could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye\n\nAnd now I'm glad I didn't know\nThe way it all would end the way it all would go\nOur lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain\nBut I'd of had to miss the dance\n\nHolding you I held everything\nFor a moment wasn't I a king\nBut if I'd only known how the king would fall\nHey who's to say you know I might have changed it all\n\nAnd now I'm glad I didn't know\nThe way it all would end the way it all would go\nOur lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain\nBut I'd of had to miss the dance\n\nYes my life is better left to chance\nI could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

I would never thought I would be saying this but it is fact, today it would definitely be country as with the newer sound to it, its way more popular, the largest grossing tour was Soul to II Soul II oh that is Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, incase some may not know, Shania is huge, Keith Urban, Toby Keith,Montgomery Gentry heck too many to mention, it has come alongway and is attracting the largest audience,oops forgot Rascal Flatts, hope this helps alittle.\nHugs!

This will show my age, but... I walked out of a Gordon Lightfoot concert a loooong time ago.  He was very drunk/stoned, and kept saying he felt rougher than a bear turd rolled in fish hooks, which was kind of funny the first time, by the 20th time it got old, and he kept messing up his songs.  It was sad and I was embarrassed for him.  A lot of people were walking out.  You don't get your money back whether you stay or leave, so the question is, do you want to be here or would you rather be somewhere else?  If you don't want to be there, staying just means you have wasted the money, now you are wasting your time.

There has been a few rumours (mainly driven by the web) about this, but no official announcements.\n\nIt is clear that he is currently going through a very hard time, having split with his wife (again) and his friend Proof being shot and killed recently, and if reports are to be believed he has pretty much locked himself away and is very depressed.\n\nHowever, in many ways that is to be expected given recent events, and as there has been no official announcement of a retirement I would expect him to be "back in business" when he is good and ready to do so.

No, it's not time for Shaq to retire yet. He still has a good 3-4 years left in him. He may not be the dominant player as he once was but he still is dominant enough to command double and even triple teams. It all starts with Shaq in the middle for the Heat. You feed it to the Big Fella and he will throw it back out to the shooters. It's 50-50. He's in good shape and can still run up and down the court faster than most centers. He will retire when he knows he can't be productive for his team anymore. Right now, he still has a lot to offer.

Roy Orbison turned down a chance to manage The Beatles.\n\n****************\n\nIn answer to your e-mail:\n\nAbsolutely. It's a well known story. They were on the same bill in England in 1964 or 65. Orbison headlined and the up and coming Beatles talked him into letting them play the final set since he was already getting top billing. Roy easily agreed to let them go .\n\nUnfortunately (For the Beatles), the British crowd - like virtually all Brittons, just ADORED Roy. The crowd demanded - and GOT - something like 20 (TWENTY!) encores and curtain calls from Roy. Finally, John Lennon and Paul McCartney came onstage, took Roy by the arms and laughingly yelled "YANKEE GO HOME!" and ushered him off stage.\n\nThere was always a close friendship between them after that, which is how Roy was offered the job as their manager just at their worldwide popularity was cresting. This is also how he and George Harrison would up with the Traveling Wilburys decades later.\n\nYou can ask or find out more over at www.orbison.com. They have a pretty fair forum over there. I shy away from it however, as I don't like what Barbara Orbison has done in marketing him commercially in praise of the Almighty Buck vs. promoting the man and his talents.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nP.S. Incidentally. If you're not familiar with LARRY BRANSON, it might be worth your while to check him out. He's an Orbison impersonator who starred in the British stage show The Roy Orbison Story. (The CD is still available and not bad.) Branson's voice was fair to middlin' and the CD was well done overall. The BIG SHOCK is that about seven years ago, Branson released an album of his own. Now I've been an Orbison fan for 40 years and I'll tell you in no uncertain terms: Branson SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE ROY AT HIS VERY BEST! EVERY note and inflection was PURE CLASSIC ROY! Absolutely UNBELIEVEABLE!!! To my knowlege, Branson has released absolutely nothing since and I suspect that Barbara Orbison is probably behind that.

I don't think Eminem will retire right now in his career. I think this because......\n1. He is at the top of his game\n2. He just a married the love of his life (Kim)\n3. He has two beautiful daughters to write songs about\n4. He just released a kick azz album (curtain call)\n5. He is just 33 years old! "to curious1 who said he was in his twenties. He ISN'T he is 33!!!!"\n   So, no I really don't think he will retire just yet. I do think he will retire at a pretty young age, but not just yet. I think if he does, it would be a mistake, to loose all the fame and fortune that he has worked so hard to get.

he woulda been sooo good if he was not plauged with injuries. But I think he is retiring... his 04-05 season was good in the end.

He's doing far better than he ended up last year.  I'd say that their team will end up top five in points this year and there's a good chance that in '07 they will be championship contenders.  I'm not a Jr. Fan either.  He's ok and I wish him the best.  Don't compare him with Dale Sr. either.  It's a different and far more competitive environment now vs. 20-25 years ago.
