Riders are in place to ensure that venues read all the artist's request for their performance, which can often includ voltage requirements for equipment, extra stage platforms or rigging; all the latter is in the matter of safety during performance. If they don't honor the silly requests, the performers can't be sure…

I love Jack White, but I'm concerned that he's turning into Edward Scissorhands.

SUPER. i didn't watch the grammys. i just watched the live stream of the audience and there was a lot of him. i wrote down my observations. here are the ones about him:

Also who is the spiky spikey red man at the end?

If I was rih rih vocal coach, if i didn't already think so, after this performance I would officially declare myself the beyonce of vocal coaches.

'uh whatever you basics'

you're saying this song was not originally written for the movie Hocus Pocus ? ;)

Everything about this is fucking amazing.

I'll say it....I hope people become secular....naturally of course. In high school we were assigned the task of creating our own utopian future. In my future, I wrote that no one believed in god or followed a religion because they simply didn't see the need for it anymore. My teacher hated it, gave me a lower grade…

Ill say it!

Over 70% of America identifies as Christian. When Odinists become the majority and try to enforce their beliefs via the US Government, I might feel differently.

But that petty jab aside, seriously: I'm not one of those people who think anyone who is religious is dumb, or narrow-minded, or any such thing. Mad props. Even kinda jealz. I'd love for God to be something I could catch. It'd be like how I am with football: If only I could like it, I'm sure I would if nothing…

<3 you for "I have to try to not be an ingrown hair on the bikini line of life"

I have to try to not be an ingrown hair on the bikini line of life

Don't wait. I accidentally had the conversation with my MiL after I got engaged. She asked if we were getting married in a church, I said we weren't, and she was cool with that. Then she asked if we were going to get our children baptized. I told her we weren't, as baptism is a promise to the church to raise that…

I was raised in a non-religious house by parents who had very strict religious upbringings from different religious traditions. I remember actually having conversations about what they believed and why and what I believed in and why. I was actually encouraged to know what I believed and think about why I held that…

Does anybody have good, healthy, positive associations with growing up in a religious family? I feel a solidarity with other people who grew up Catholic, but for the most part we are talking shit about how messed up it was. I'm not saying that every Catholic is terrible, it really needs to be something you choose as…

I'm not going to say I hope more people become secular, but I hope that they continue to recognize how they truly feel about their beliefs. Christians think they own the market on morality and that morals are concrete - they don't and they aren't. You can truly be good without god. And I don't mind if we remind them…

Lose your religion, lose your leg!

I was raised in an atheist household (I'm 25 now), and I'm always surprised at how uncommon it is. I know lots of atheists, but all of them came to their atheism as teenagers or adults. I don't know anyone else with atheist parents.
