Have you seen Lou Vega or have you ever been really loved, by a hand that's touched you?

Is Talmadge's father (Randy Bachman) still an active church member?

**edit** Found the answer to my question on wiki:

"Bachman was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. During his early Guess Who years, his religious beliefs conflicted with the sex, drugs & rock n roll lifestyle of the other band members and caused some bitterness between Bachman and bandmate Burton Cummings. Bachman later renounced his Mormon beliefs, saying, "We found some things that couldn’t be reconciled," and declaring, "Religion is a bunch of rules, a fear factor."

lol x2. I had never even heard of him until him starting talking about suicide bombing for his mission pres on PBS.

I will second this -

I had no idea what his name was or that he was Mormon until he showed up all embittered on that PBS program.

I gathered from his comments that he was basically trying to blame his lack of a career post-that-one-song on the fact that he's Mormon.

...which is entirely hilarious, because that one song was MADE popular by Mormon kids in Utah.

His career sucks because he is locked into a multi-record contract with a record company who won't let him record any albums. Many bands out there are like that. I have heard Gladys Knight, Tal Bachman, Collective Soul, and several other once-popular performing artists say the same thing.

Collective Soul made one triple-Platinum, one double-Platinum, two Platinum, and one Gold album in 7 years, yet they still had to fight their record company to allow them to make more music.

Gladys Knight in an interview about 5 yrs ago said she would love to record more songs, and has many unrecorded songs written, but can't find a record company willing to let her record. Maybe she can do it now that it is easier to self-produce music and release it through Youtube and other websites. I would buy it, I think she has one of the most passionate, soulful, and fantastic voices every recorded.

That's okay, I'm sure that you've been downhearted, baby, you've been downhearted, baby, ever since the day we met.

FWIW, Bachmann's beef with the church is legit. His has asked some difficult questions and doesn't like the answers. I have no idea what role his music career played, if any, in his exit, but I will vouch for him and say that his arguments against the church are usually well thought out.

That's not to say that he doesn't go to extremes at times. He calls mormons "cult loons" and thinks that all Mormons have the mindset of suicide bombers (because he admits that he had that type of zeal...which is an indicment of the Young Tal Bachmann more than it is of the Mormon people as a whole).

She certainly was a candidate, but she never polled as the leader at any point and I don't remember her making any sort of charge in the polls either. She was consistently below 10% and was the second candidate to drop out (Cain being the first). She was a long-shot candidate, not a genuine contender.

she did well in iowa, iirc. the magnitude of her crazy makes even a small amount of success pretty embarrassing.
