I don't quite understand why, but I think it has to do with people
wanting to believe that the universe wouldn't let an innocent child
really be hurt that bad

"Neil Young loved Skynyrd, and they actually loved him, too."

I'm a huge Led Zeppelin fan, but I've grown to accept that they're terrible human beings. Jimmy Page is an honest-to-God sex offender. He kidnapped a 14-year-old girl for sex, for fuck's sake! The only reason he never saw any trouble is that she claims, and maintains to this day, that she enjoyed it. (What I want to…

"-Fleet Foxes's "Helplessness Blues": overly indulgent hipster douchebag
special snowflake whining about how much it sucks to realize you can't
really support yourself on a Medieval Studies degree. If you had an
orchard, you'd work 'til you're sore … which would take all of fifteen
minutes."

I'm an Irish-American from Boston who agrees with you. This city is as racist as anywhere. The Southie busing riots of the '70s were inexcusable (and I have family members alive who still defend them!)

Alright, then. I'm willing to be cynical and say "Well, marketing markets", but yeah, that was fucked up.

I'm a white liberal who usually listens to what Black people say. I have never heard a note of Kanye's music, I think he occasionally has a point, like when he said GWB didn't give a shit about black people (well, duh). I still tend to think he's a douchebag.

THANK YOU for voicing this opinion. I'm a liberal, who voted for Obama twice, bought both of his books, and am now disgusted with him. The fact that most liberals are OK with him using drones to kill four US citizens WITHOUT TRIAL, merely on SUSPICION of terrorism, having the NSA spy on us all, and wanting to start…

By battle flag do you mean the Confederate Flag? I agree that that flag is racist. If the band ever rose that flag in the old days (which I don't believe they did, but I'll stand corrected if shown otherwise), I'll agree it was in poor taste.

Oh come on, dude. The original Lynyrd Skynyrd weren't racists. I'll give you that their modern-day incarnation, with Ronnie Van Zandt's brother Johnny singing, is the simplified theme park version of the old Skynyrd, and pander to all the redneck cliches, but the original band wasn't stupid. The rivalry between them…

That really is the one thing I hated about that movie. I don't like that Batman won by becoming the NSA.

I always kinda felt that way about Family Feud as well - that it didn't encourage creative answers, just the most obvious, boring answers anyone would say.

Rush's "The Trees". Takes the side of the oaks. Bunch of Objectivist bullshit.

What's green and smells like pork?

4) Lean to one side and bring one foot up in the air with your leg bent, then stamp your foot down like a sumo wrestler while letting it rip.

Yeah, if you went to Starbucks and just started yelling shit at the barista and wouldn't stop, you'd be removed from the premises, right?

It's because you don't have $2.54 left after paying the ticket, isn't it? Sucks man.

So, you're a gigantic, entitled dickhole. Thanks for letting us all know! I'll be remembering your username as a gigantic, entitled dickhole every time I read your posts from here on.

It's really sad how many people have to be told this.

Agreed. I love Chappelle's comedy, was sad as hell when he went away from the limelight, and hope his attempt at a comeback succeeds. But yeah, it was going through my head that "Yeah, if he does a tour and I pay $100 to see him (I don't go for the really expensive seats), do I have a 50/50 chance of the show sucking?"
