There’s also the absurd comment that criminals will get access to guns anyway, so we shouldn’t have gun control that targets law-abiding citizens.  While it’s certainly true that some criminals will be able to get guns through the black market, that sort of ignores the fact that almost all of these mass shooters are…

Well, he’s at least changed up the style of his hair extensions in the past.  

It’s funny that he calls it “adult emo” because Counting Crows was actually a major influence on a lot of emo and screamo bands.  Panic! at the Disco covers Round Here all the time

I don’t get that vibe with Duritz.  He might be a little smug but I don’t get the “thinks he’s invincible” thing.  He also has a pretty wide range of musical tastes and seems to promote other bands/artists all the time.  DMB though I agree on.  

The Wikipedia entry on that is off. He didn’t date all of those women in a single year; it’s misleadingly written. But still, yeah, I think their work holds up well. My older brother got really into them (we liked their stuff somewhat when we were younger growing up in the 90s, but he really got back into them circa…

The one thing to know about Counting Crows shows is that they are really mostly meant for big Counting Crows fans and not casual ones. Duritz’s demeanor can definitely be a off-putting, but the band treats their live shows as being times to play alternate versions of their songs, mix songs together (it’s been a while…

Let’s give the big dumb fucking stupid moron some credit.   What he meant was no one is talking about his made up theory that we need more mental institutions because so many mentally ill were let out when hospitals close, and that caused mass shootings.  Really, no one is talking about that, because it’s idiotic.  

Do you mean your “straw people,” man? Because this has nothing to do with gold coins or asking Jay Z for some sort of handout. He’s literally just saying it is b.s. for Jay Z to make a money grab partnership with the NFL to help address social justice issues.  He didn’t need the money to do that, and he certainly…

Yeah, Leon Bridges is great as well.  He played in Mobile a couple months back, was a great show.   That being said, I don’t have anything against Nicki Minaj (who I generally really like though like any artist she has some swings and misses) and Stallion (who I admittedly don’t know much about)

Yeah, seriously? I don’t get his point as it comes to Kaepernick. The NFL colluded to ensure the man lost his job. While he made a lot prior to being blackballed, he literally gave up his dream and his income by making his stand. He didn’t sell out by taking the Nike money and doing the ad campaign. And as noted by…

Republican Jesus has a new one: “Whatsoever you do to the least of my people that won’t become a public charge, that you do unto me.”  

Yeah, if this results in Kaep getting an NFL job again, I’d be a lot less skeptical.  You cannot tell me he isn’t good enough to be an NFL backup.  Watch his playoff performances leading up to the Super Bowl appearance.  Joe Flacco will have a job for another 5-6 years at least on the back of one incredible playoff…

Oh yeah, love me some Brittany Howard.  My first year of law school in Tuscaloosa was right around the time the Alabama Shakes were on the rise as Boys and Girls had come out a few months prior.  They played a secret, unannounced show at Egan’s Bar (a true dive bar on the Strip in T-town that may no longer be open)…

Deserve got nothing to do with it.  

You know they will just lump them together.  They (likely taking direction from Trump) will just say, “see, we had this horrible invasion of immigrants that was a true crisis, and because we didn’t do anything about it the economy crashed.”  It will all be turned against the Democrats and minorities.  And being the…

My dad used to be a prosecuting attorney for APOST, Alabama’s peace officers organization, which also oversees correctional officers. Someone at APOST back in the day noted how the initial exams for people trying to become cops were so easy that it would take a complete idiot to fail them. He then noted that people…

I can’t imagine they will downplay Beth’s story for the adaptation considering that Beth’s death is probably the most well-known thing about the book.  And yes, Scanlen was amazing in Sharp Objects.  Talk about a major difference in roles.  

Well, I don’t think it’s a racist thing.  More like it’s just way more likely that the GOAT in a given sport is going to be African-American.  You list Simone, but the whole question posed was whether something was going to be done to react to Simone.  So you really just list two athletes there.  And Serena Williams…

Courses tried to do their best to “Tiger-proof” the courses by making them longer. It didn’t really work, but Tiger was ahead of his time in terms of driving distance, so he was really tough to beat. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/28934-us-open-tiger-proofing-of-golf-courses-has-done-just-the-opposite

Well, viewed a different way, one could argue that Kaep should be starting for any of those teams because he should have been signed by them a couple years ago (definitely true for Buffalo, but Miami was still rolling with Tannehill and the Skins had Kirk Cousins then Alex Smith).  Perhaps he would have earned a…
