I've turned on these fuckers and their hyper-consumerism. Suck a fat dick, Jay, Kanye, Bey and Becky too.

Yub yub!

Check out his youtube channel, not only was he at it in the '70s and '80s, he made a bunch of material for PBS that resulted in a relatively dry & wordy production, but also left him with hundreds & hundreds of archived video performances (mostly blues, Appalachian & Cajun folk) that weren't used entirely, or at all,…

It barely makes the cut of 'pop culture', and the sound mix sucks, but I'd like to be at this blues picnic at a dusty lot, with R.L Burnside in 1978 Mississippi:

Nick, I'm sorry I won't be able to join you tonight. I'm coming down with a sore throat so I've decided to turn in early. Don't forget you have to be at the theater at 8:30, *cough* this doesn't help AT ALL!

How far away are we from an anthropomorphic gun movie? That seems like the kind of Idiocracy fuel that sounds ridiculous now, but will make perfect sense with 10 years hindsight. The AK47s could fit into pretty much any/all of the evil foreign stereotype models of the time. The Glock would be a more culturally…

I honestly can't tell, and have spent far too much time trying to figure out if this joke is explicitly in reference to, or entirely ignorant of, Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider Ham.

The letter suggests that he was gamely going to try and write in English and then decided "maybe not the time to practice my skillz"

I do, he's an extra swell guy!

Tell me about it. You couldn't pay me to listen to most of the stuff I was listening to in the '90s, and I'm amazed that other generations bought into RHCP in particular. Fishbone's still living out of their van, though. RHCP were the first band I ever saw live, New Year's eve 1987…hell, I take drum lessons every week…

It still makes more sense than the Red Hot Chili Peppers having a super-successful career spanning four decades.

It was a little rapey.

It's probably worth something that he feels the need to insert 'in colllege' into that sentence. Dude's entire demeanor suggests he's been paying for some sort of sex work every other night of his life, then spends the next 47 hours zealously denying it to the world (and himself).

I was thinking the brother in the middle must really want to thank the photographer for giving him Down Syndrome.

Oooh, I'll second The Jam! I've lost many an hour combing through all the great live stuff on youtube. I'd also like to have seen some Rory Gallagher, in like '75. I'll also second the Stop Making Sense era Talking Heads mentioned in the article. Gimme some very early '80s Steely Dan too. And 1984 Van Halen. Small…

I got a couple on yer list. I saw Nirvana open for Dinosaur Jr. for their Green Mind tour in a smallish club '91, and that was appropriately mind blowing. I had no idea who they were, they played only their Bleach stuff and I can still vividly remember Kurt climbing up on to a 10-15ft stack of amps and leaping off…

Ford owned Jaguar too, from 1990 to 2007, and the X-Type was actually built on a Ford platform/chassis shared with the fucking Contour….but hey, i'm no enthusiast.

Although I think plenty of folks still just directly "don't like them there {race/gender/sexuality}" I think there's a lot of folks who aren't necessarily worried about specific modern threats, but they think of the progressive/liberal agenda as something more akin to how lefties look at global warming….they're…

You'd think so, but I got me a closet overflowing with weed, and it only serves to high-lite Big Chocolate's unrelenting stranglehold on the world of candy.

It's true! But it's not like there's a dearth of ice cream with chocolate in it, give a crazy anti-chocolate hermit a break!
