I don’t need to. If you think the misogyny that inevitably defeated Hillary Clinton would not also doom Elizabeth Warren, I don’t know what to tell you. Everything that people who voted against Hillary Clinton hate about Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren is—only moreso.

Seriously, what the fuck is so elite about coastal areas? I never understand that. It’s like they’ve never been to inner city Baltimore, Philly, Boston, hell, NYC.

“I think she suffers from the same shortcomings that Hillary had” aka being a woman. This country isn’t going to elect a woman 4 years from now, probably not even 40 years from now.

Hell this happened in her own state when she first ran pretty much, she was seen as out of touch, elitst, not warm and friendly enough...they’d rip her apat as sure as Hillary.

This. I wanted to scream at all the bros who insisted they’d vote for Warren. She ran into the same shit they gave Hillary while she was running for Senate. Progressives really need to admit they have a big problem with sexism.

Here’s how her campaign would go:

He really was incredibly talented, both as a singer and a songwriter. Even the songs I don’t personally care for like Shoot The Dog have excellent construction and delivery. I was massively excited to hear he was planning to release new material it’s such a shame he died so young, he could have made an excellent

George Michael was so massively underrated, he was incredibly talented and defines what a great pop star should be for me. He wrote and produced his own music and his voice was one of best in the business. His live vocals sounded almost identical to his recorded vocals.

Agreed. I found that unecessarily disrespectful...especially knowing that there are a lot of Gen Xers in the Jez community.

If they do, an interesting thought exercise would be to ask yourself if you would have cared about this music were it released when Michael was still living

I love this song, too, it’s so just in your face and amazing. “You got yourself an ass with a mind of its own, brings something to the party.”

I thought this one was ridiculously great...

I’m such a wreck that he’s gone. I know I didn’t know him but he was part of my childhood. He made great music. I loved his songs from Wham and as a solo artist.

One More Try is, like, one of MY SONGS. I remember being in junior high/high school and there was this unexplainable trend of writing song lyrics down, neatly, in poem form. I wrote One More Try the most. I sometimes sing it at karaoke. I yelled incomprehensible phrases of encouragement at the tv when Cody Belew sang

Oh man, I love posts like these. So many interesting tidbits.

Thanks for this, Julianne, and what an acquaintance of mine calls “headline heat.” I loved George Michael’s strong, powerful voice. I melodramatically wrote elsewhere that his voice played a major part of the score of my childhood. Dave 1 of the band Chromeo wrote some strong points on Facebook about how Michael wrote

I do believe that we are practicing the same religion.

I’d also like to use this space as a reminder of just how great ‘Fastlove’ was / still is.

For me, the George Michael tracks that stand out the most are “Club Tropicana,” “Father Figure,” and, of course, “Freedom ‘90.” But I have to say that all of “Faith” was as subversive and dangerous a pop album as any that came out in the 1980s. From the church organ that starts off the title track (sacrilege!) to

My best friends cat is named George Michael. Somehow every headline I read about the singer seems like it could also apply to the cat. He's very aptly named.
