Well, of course, there are plenty of reasons to shoot somebody other than to kill him.

That could also mean he almost missed. He shot him, but only just so, only barely.

In order for that to make sense, the character would have to be shooting the guy in Reno to hopefully prevent his death, or at least achieve some goal that requires the guy to live.

I defy you to show me a pop hit that wouldn't benefit from that.

To be fair, the character in Sympathy for the Devil doesn't have a morality problem.

Does he? I always thought of it like that, too, but then I just read the full lyrics, and it doesn't actually happen that the grandson admits that the grandpa was right. There's just a lot of the grandpa insisting he's right.

Historically, it's the idea something should lead you to a single, objectively correct point of view that has led to the most objectionable shit.

That makes sense. Children are always so difficult to wind up and get moving.

The devil's greatest gift was making me forget that book exists.

Just the one tv? What's up with this tv, people want to piss on it so often?

Medium shots and close-ups.

Straight up. 3 days, nearly 3 hours each night. 100 songs, no repeats across the weekend. You can find the shows on archive.org, I think.

Ah, I see. Because it's riot fest.

The first CO shows weren't a festival. Just straight boog.

This makes perfect sense to me. He's saying the song is great — the composition and the arrangement — but the production — the mixing, mastering, the studio sheen — is cheesy and sterile.

Right. But he didn't have anything to do with Requiem for a Dream.

PTA?
