I'll be kissing that rose on your grave, sergeant Hulka!

I suspect kids these days won't have any albums, just songs.

Yeah, not many people can write a cute n' catchy song about phone sex. Glass Houses is classic and I'm not ashamed to own it. And "Just The Way You Are" really is a great love song. Also the updated doo wop- "For The Longest Time" and that 'in the middle of the night..' song were pretty cool and catchy. Those and…

So he was one of the game tokens in the Sellout game?

Yeah, I think MTV helped make the suicide more of an iconic moment. They crowned him the king of grunge, the big idol, tragic hero and talked relentlessly how he was the voice of a generation. They turned it into an "end of an era" and "shattering of a generation's dream" story then beat that horse 'til it died. Then…

Step back, gonna kiss myself!
"Yeah" swybdebck! "Yeah" goovin "Yeah" moovin "Yeah" - "Hey, what the fuck is James talkin' 'bout, man?" "I don't know man, just go with it.." "Yeah"

I didn't know that. I haven't read much pirate history so I'm coming to it blind. It's interesting to read these comments so I can find out what really went on, thanks

I don't understand Max either- motivations or storyline. I'm glad her and Anne didn't get it on, that would've been cliche. I hope it doesn't turn into a male fantasy where all of the women are bi and end up fucking each other.

I don't know why he didn't try and defend himself or to convince Vane of his worthiness- at the very least he was bringing in money for Vane with the brothel. I guess he realized groveling would get him nowhere

The actor playing him is just so perfect- his accent, timing, and facial expressions

What's with the Breaking Bad comparison? I don't watch that show and not sure what the hell it has to do with a pirate show. Just made my eyes glaze over during your 2 paragraph inclusion of it- completely fucking irrelevant to the show, the genre, the time period, the actors, the plot, the network, the season, and a…

Agreed. I feel the same about Billy, was hoping we'd see him alive somehow in the finale.

I've seen it on one of the premium movie channels, not too bad. Cheesy, but cute. Matt didn't do too bad as a buffed out woman.

I thought reverend Tuttle looked fairly regular.

Totally kicked ass even though some losers predicted that they would fail like red metal dirigibles

Uh, no. I have always known it as luftballoons since it came out and even in my US "Billboard Top 40 Hits" book from 1989 has it listed as "99 Luftballons" only, with no additional title.

Lucky you, station here only plays an edit of the 2 together, never the original version

Actually I think Anthrax started the raprock n' rap metal, their music didn't get huge on the charts like the RunDMC/Aero collaboration did, so RunAero gets all the credit.

Why not? Great song

So, what is up with this comment/disqus thing? Every 2nd or 3rd comment I apparently have to sign in again and verify myself even though I'm already signed in. I sign out twice and then back in to be able to do anything. Then have to re-find the article and reload all the damn comments. Stupid shit.
