The supporting argument is found in The Trump's track record.

While my professors professed suspension-of-disbelief and appreciation of character development, it never truly resonated, and the vast of my AV consumption is non-fiction. Thus, when I comment on fiction or near-fiction (the first few seasons of Homicide or the first season of The Wire come straight to mind), it…

lmfao@"pops up".
Well spoken, thanks for the big-belly-laugh.

Agree to disagree.
Ozymandias was awesome.
Any viewer can go through BB chronologically and drop Fly from the playlist. It's far too introspective to the point of author-inflicted self-gratification, and certainly doesn't move the plot one bit.
Ozymandias kicks Fly's ass as it f&@ks the plot-line severely in a way I've…

Thanks for the New Nightmare reference, never heard of it before and I love horror moves. I look forward to affirming your opinion.

Brilliant use of "Lucasian", didn't even know it was part of the web lexicon.

The week began quite uncivilly. Then the tone turned upside-down (thanks author of the Dylan article) and, for a day, the discourse was either friendly or remarkably civil dissent. It's been ages since I've seen this occur on the web, especially when commentary-specialized sites like Disqus arrived (and got their…

Hardly sloppy, merely factual.
Support your argument in more than 140 characters or at least with some substance.

You're entitled to your opinions, but not your own facts.

Yeah NAFTA remains an obscenity, as was Clinton's cowardly calculation that he needed to end welfare-as-we-knew-it in 1996 in order to win the general election. Monicagate and the impeachment did lead to a lashback by the electorate where the Democrats up-ended a century of the phenomenon that the mid-terms gave the…

We're reviewing Rolling Stone articles on this site now?

Didn't she celebrate the 10th anniversary two months ago?

I'm mildly surprised Dwayne Johnson doesn't have that honor.

Well, even if I did come to adulthood with serious academic accomplishments under my belt in 1980s, I don't miss think of that gallstone of decade due to the constant push-back I received by my reactionary peers, professors and small-minded bureaucrats. It got to the point that I cut my ties with both institutions…

The other half of my question is "did Dylan write any protest songs railing against the 1980s Reagan-loving right wing?"

Desire has a character unlike any other Dylan release I know of. As soon as I got the sheet music for Isis I immediately took to playing it, and by that point in my life I was a fairly hardcore metal fan (mostly NWOBHM).

I mentioned elsewhere that Dylan is my mother's music, though we both greatly appreciated Desire. Outside of the protest song era, which formed the majority of my acoustic guitar repertoire when I first started out, I'm pretty damn ignorant of his catalog, especially considering that I've got two degrees in music…

I'd pay serious cash to own footage of that.

It's unfortunate that the author brought her own snark into this article (I'm refer to the off-the-cuff pamphlet metaphor).

Al Jazeera is truly commendable if woefully under-appreciated news source.
