I have no idea why Prince was on that stage.

Petty’s about 1,000x the songwriter Prince was. He’s also like an actual person. I find it hard to imagine being in the same room with Prince for more than 45 seconds would have been tolerable.

get a grip on your faux-fawning, is all I’m saying.

thank you

Guaranfuckingteed the answer is no. Guarantee that 99% of the butthurt people on the Internet today haven’t thought of or listened to Prince in years.

Here’s an opinion that’s apparently wildly unpopular today:

Well no wonder he’s slumping — look at that crooked bat he’s using.

No, I don’t think that at all. I’m also not particularly interested in the specifics of the TDI situation.

i think these people are thinking of Christian Scientists

that song still exists you know. the art doesn’t die with the artist.

really? why? did you know these people personally? this is really a crisis?

It’s not “suffering.” It’s polluting less. You think the earth’s atmosphere gives a shit where the carbon comes from? L.A. or Broken Arrow, Oklahoma makes no difference. Pollution is pollution. There may be fewer cars in the midwest, but cars in this country, as an aggregate total, contribute to carbon pollution, not…

That is not a hipster. That is a trend-following douchebag. “Hipster” has been coopted and I hate it. Hipsters work(ed) at used record and used book stores. They wore thrift store clothes. They rolled their own cigarettes. The whole point was not caring, or looking like you didn’t care. Hipsters had no money to afford…

ya but even if “smog” isn’t a problem, the cars are still contributing to carbon pollution. if i can’t drive a polluter, somebody in the midwest shouldn’t be able to either.

can’t honestly remember a single damn thing about Ann Arbor. not because i was drunk. coulda been any college town, anywhere.

I don’t think I’d be super proud of the whole “A2" thing.

a hipster would never, ever vape.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

But how in the world are you going to legally smog your car? I wouldn’t just expect whatever state you live in to just proceed as though everything’s fine with smogging your car.

I got terrific grades in college, except in math. I was a lazy student, and didn’t put the time in.
