Ah, what can I say, my favorite "country" songs are written by The Shins and Neil Young.

The pervasive industry of music for mass consumption is a human embarrassment. Christian Contemporary is awful. Pop Country is awful. Lots of urban pop is awful. See K-Ci & Jojo. What turned Nirvana into Bush into Creed and Puddle of Mudd is awful.

Okay, so did he or did he not call a black man he didn't know, Lil Jon, an Uncle Tom, and was fucking stupid enough to think that it was an acceptable joke? Can this be established, please? I'm trying to figure out exactly how stupid Trump is. How was this not a bigger deal? Did Lil Jon make that up?

Well damn, I was hoping it was cell phone radiation. Bummer.

Wasps where I live, Midwestern U.S., do not bother you unless you bother them. The problem is they don't understand when you say "Oh, pardon me, didn't see ya there".

I heard somewhere that earwigs make chutney. Can we at least all agree to keep mass murdering fleas and mosquitos?

Waaaasp atrocities,
We're committing wasp atrocities and HEY!

There is certainly a "PC left". It doesn't number in the Religious Right range, but you have to be blind in that regard.

Men were pretty much only allowed to sing like that for a very short period of pop rock history. That breathe-ey, bearded, passion. Or whatever. Lots of it was awful, but really, "Africa" and "Eye In The Sky" are pretty good songs to benchmark that era. It's pure 1982. Member?

Attack Of The Clones is probably the biggest waste of 100 million dollars ever committed to film. Meaning it's also probably the biggest waste of any 100 million dollars.

The Headmaster Periodical?

And a lousy songwriter.

John had laid down a solo for WMGGW, and -both- Georges had a hand in bringing in Clapton to replace it. From what I've read.

More like Stu Suckcliff, amirite??

It's amazing. Wincing The Night Away - A. Chutes Too Narrow - A+

Chutes Too Narrow was 12 years ago. And I was 25.

Well, he wasn't born a woman, so it wasn't likely that he'd make it to Joan Rivers' age/botched plastic surgery math. Equality as a construct only goes so far. Pretty fascinating character, though.

I thought his finger-wagging in the You Spin Me Round video was actually more effeminate than Boy George's delicate swagger. And yeah, paired with that booming voice, just wow. That's some pretty eye and ear popping stuff. Badass even, in maybe the most unique way at the time.

40 odd years later, I like the band name Nightmares In Wax.
