Type it in character…Type it!

I was watching a commercial by the Realtors (tm) real estate concern, and had similar feelings. They were guilting all of us for not having purchased homes already, which contributes to strong communities and family values, apparently. And I wondered: hasn't anyone told them that nobody has money, not leastly…

YOU FUCKING PEOPLE AREN'T LISTENING ABOUT THE GATHERED GREENS!

Please replace "is at" with "it as".

I know it's tempting to just dismiss is at rampant player-hating, but really I think it has a lot more to do with how seriously KISS (and bands like them) appeared to take themselves versus how punk band appeared to view themselves.

"Stawchiowd, bwing us duh powah cwystohs…"

This discussion reminds me of some of the very first concerts I ever saw. The aforementioned Black n' Blue for instance opened up for Whitesnake followed by Dio. Their keyboard player is now the owner of an audio company in the Portland area I work with a lot.

And of course, these days "Ace" is played by Portland hometown favorite Tommy Thayer, formerly of the largely forgotten Black n' Blue.

I saw KISS on the 'Animalize' tour. Queensryche opened. Not good. Really not good.

Gathered greens, motherfuckers: GATHERED GREENS!

Oh, there's plenty of hipsters who un-ironically like KISS, too. There's lots of that slide-over in hipster iconography. In this case, I blame The Melvins.

I'm not talking about the sentence's construction, but the missing context.
Since I think I can honestly say I won't be reading this book…

For most of '78, I was 7. I already felt like I was too grown up for Kiss.
Only now can I actually enjoy some of their stuff. But I do enjoy it. Some of it.

I know that actually reading the book would clear this up…
But:
"By that point, Lendt and his firm had been coldly let go following a coal-mining tax write-off gone awry. "

And we're early enough in the day here that several of the typos are still there, like "paid" for "played" in the last paragraph.

He tell the long story? I can wait.

Hi, I'm back. First, let me say that I'm glad no one used the "this has always been the complaint" argument: crossbows were said to be the super weapon that would destroy mankind, the earliest typewriters were viewed as evil machines by writers at the time…

Napster
(except this isn't really about Napster exactly)
I keep on being annoyed about how perfectly worthwhile things are constantly being replaced with crap simulacra of the worthwhile things. Everything from how since we all have cell phones now, no one need ever use a pay phone again -since no one ever loses their…

"At Close Range" is one of my favorite movies, largely forgotten now.

I saw it in the theater and almost immediately forgot its name. I liked it okay, but also wondered why anyone felt the need to make it.
