Okay... really pissed at best buy... I\'ve been a loyal customer since Peck introduced me years back... I ordered Pearl Jam - Ten (Deluxe Edition); the two disc/1 dvd version back on 2/22. I go into my account today to check on the status and it\'s back-ordered. So I call CS to follow-up on this and they claim that they sent an email on 3/22 stating the back-order status, but I never received the email. They tell me that I could transfer the mail order to a store pick-up; but they can\'t because there\'s no inventory in any of the stores around me. So I call one of the stores and they have the inventory in their hands, but they can\'t change my order, I have to call back to CS. So I call, but because there system shows no inventory in the store, they can\'t change the order. I ask to speak to a manager and they tell me that one is not available and they\'ll have to call me back. After that, THEY hung up and ended the call. I called back furious trying to speak with a manager, but I kept getting disconnected. I finally got a CSR that actually knew what customer service was and tried to help me, but was unable to get a manager for me. All I wanted to do tonight was watch the Unplugged DVD after my daughter and wife went to bed....

On a side note, a manager from BB did call me and apologized for the poor customer service I experienced. He called the local store and had them hold 2 copies for me even though I only ordered 1. So in the end, I got two copies of the Deluxe Version and paid for one; also, he added thousands of bonus points to my best buy membership car, so I\'ll be receiving $20 to best buy in the mail in the next couple of weeks. I guess sometimes it\'s good to be screwed over...

Quote

A Bruce Springsteen fan has been given a community order for breaching an Asbo that banned him from playing one of the singer\'s CD at loud volumes.

John Norman, 61, regularly played Springsteen\'s album Born in the USA on loop into the early hours. He was also accused of hacking down plants in his neighbours\' garden in Berry Hill, in the "Beverly Hills" area of Mansfield.

In May last year, after 112 complaints, he was given an Asbo, which banned him from acting in a manner likely to cause nuisance, harassment or alarm to the neighbours, Robert Papp-Burnett, 54, and Patricia Bartrup-Jones, 63. He was also banned from harassing them verbally or physically.

At Mansfield Magistrates\' on Wednesday he was given a 12-month community order with a supervision requirement after breaching the Asbo 13 times. He was also ordered to pay ?250 costs.

Afterwards, Mr Papp-Burnett said: "He seemed to have only a limited selection of loud rock music and he would play football matches very loudly on the TV. We just about put up with that but it was the name-calling of my partner - that was the last straw."

Norman, who declined to comment, had previously apologised for routinely greeting Miss Bartrup-Jones as "fatso". He said that the disagreement between the neighbours had broken out over some tall plants, which were creeping from one garden into another.

Springsteen plays Glastonbury Festival in June, before dates in Dublin and Glasgow the following month.

If you\'re trying to bait me into an argument why \'99 was the peak, you\'re barking up the wrong tree... In my honest opinion, I would say that the band started it\'s peak in \'99 with 4 songs on MTV\'s Undressed and continued through the summer of \'06 when Jordan left the band. If you\'re looking for a pinnacle, imho, I would have to say that it was March 16, 2004.

I know that they guys have a lot left in the tank, so, once they get the **** righted, they\'ll be back in business...

Why March 16th 2004? I don\'t even see a setlist posted for that date on their website.

Ah, I see. Yeah that could be considered a pinnacle moment.
