If you haven't seen it yet, check out the 2012 film "The House I Live In". It's expertly made and the last 10-15 minutes give me a well-deserved dope slap as they present a crushing, irrefutable correlation between the War on Drugs and the Shoah.

dude you are so on the wrong side of the fence here

Wow, I've been on the web since 1996 and this is third time this week I've run into an acronym for the first time.
But this is the first time I couldn't find the definition on the web, so I gotta ask: What do you mean by "HMG"? The Urban Dictionary's definition is clearly not what you meant.

It's been that way in Germany for a lot longer than a few centuries.

In many parts of The Republic, it's always about the freakin' parking, whether or not it's a smokescreen depends on the particulars.

Your "belief" is better characterized as fact.

Been there done that. Saw The Clash at RPI in October 1982, just before it all fell apart.

Not all forms. There's a deafening silence when it comes to hard rock, classic rock and heavy metal, especially metal that's contemporary.

When I was still in high school, my stepfather gave me two great pieces of advice:
1. "It gets a lot easier as you get older."
2. "At some point in your life, a song or film will become irrevocably linked in your head to some intense part of your life, and you'll never be able to disassociate the two again." CCR's…

Interesting. It's obviously his right to direct his artistic talents any way he likes, but there's hardly anyone I can think of who could have changed the political discourse for the better during that period than Dylan.

I'm unsure whether I like the article or the comments better.

I've got a serious backlog of non-fiction I need to address (and keep finding reasons to not address it), but I'll definitely put this on the list. Unfortunately, that means I'll probably read it in 2018.

There's one thing I don't get about Dylan, and that is that he pretty much ignored the Reagan era though we had plenty to complain about at the time. I don't understand how such a strong moral voice in the 1960s could pipe down to near-silence in the 1980s.

I'll have to check that out, my Dylan collection is pretty thin (Dylan was my mother's music far more than mine, though everyone I knew thought Hurricane was the bee's knees). It's tough to believe that there's anti-organized-religion music out there that's sharper and more bitter than the various hits Zappa wrote.

This is a pretty darn good article with one glaring exception.

When I tried to move from a substantial cassette archive to CDs in the 1990s, the two issues that struck me hard enough to vividly recall were:
1. CDs were and remain the most fragile of formats. The slightest injury would wipe out the acquisition.
2. You couldn't reliably rip a CD until the turn of the century, and…

I'm not so sure it's "clearly the future". Talk to me again in a few years when HTML5 is fully implemented, killing Adobe Flash and MS Silverlight.

I'll volunteer but not before a Kickstarter campaign to buy my body armor is fulfilled and then some.

Yeah. it's all about Lemmy, so the AVC is all-but-mandated-by-law to give it an A-.

Another reason why Spotify doesn't reflect the people's aesthetic.
When I asked for "Stoner Rock" I got three suggestions.
I could make thirty quality suggestions on the spot trashed off my backside with a dislocated shoulder to cry on.
