    Netflix documentary - The Greatest Night in Pop

    I make no bones that I'm a Child of the 80's and an unabashed pop culture tart. Has anyone seen this documentary and is it worth watching? I ask as I'm not particularly impressed with Netflix manufactured stuff. Is it better I just not watch it remember the song and video as I did in 1985

    Confession that this is not my creation and I nicked this off another forum I follow. Anyway, this is to plant a seed - perhaps someone is brave enough to try and contruct such a sandwich. 5+ Wagyu brisket with manchego, pickled slaw and horseradish mayo.

    Speaker Lifespan

    I've been told that one can expect a reasonable 15 years from speakers, after which the rubber surrounds start to deteriorate or perish. This is exacerbated if the speakers not in regular use, or "parked" for a few years. At this point, replacing the drivers is the same as just getting a new...
