re: culture wars.
absolutely fascinating to learn about the lead-up to PROHIBITION…
how did the Temperance Leagues grow so much power?
why they chose to go for an amendment to the constitution instead of just a law?
how was it all walked back?
etc, etc
this shit needs a 20year waiting period.
otherwise letting depressed teens off themselves is a fine way of getting rid of 88% of em
>Larry the cat, Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, has found itself in the centre of a political incident after it was detected trying to make its way into Donald Trump's limo, the "Beast".
oh toots
what have you done
re-read crumbs
(fug wanted to find the pic of vampires normalisation posted by Q but can't recall when it was exactly)
>What the fuck is a hate crime?
it's when you have an excuse?
also,
is it still a hate crime if you love doing it?
if you're having fun?
>Crimes of passion often carry a lesser sentence, and it should be that way for so called hate crimes. They should be all changed to misdemeanor level incidents.
or how about not enforcing law via an impossible to assess interpretation of perpetrators' FEELZ?
just sayin.
but as long as we're drawn into hierarchies of emotion-related crimes, still seems to me someone killing and LOVING IT is worse
so there y'are, then.
< have already proven that you cannot separate the product from the people who produce it.
funny, i haven't said a thing here about either HST's writings or frank's music
<Labeling anyone a "fan" is your way of trying to insinuate that no one else 'understands' it like you do.
where'd that come from? i specifically meant the single anon yesterday who got so uppity when someone dared mention his personal hero isn't who he thinks
<Spent a lot of time in that area and FULLY understand what went on. Obviously you don't
ahyes, being in the general vicinity of spooks & complex social engineering programs, best way to know all about them
<Give it up, you fucking GLOW
just havin a bit o fun, sharing a little.
being so ticklish makes you a fun poke.
now about the music: there's some moments in frank's shit (a few), but his sad devotion to being "weird" is insufferable. KingKong was almost such a great song, but ruined by the playing around.
later decaces is boring as fuck.
hear, hear.
for example, i was waay into thedoors/morrison, but had a lot re-assess… still can enjoy the music, of course, but the connotation now is not quite the same.
in many ways, it's added layers of meaning, so not all bad at all
>that awful album
that one does have a few good moments, mostly because the band/cult behind the singer was so tight/good.
problem is they don't allow themselves to get into any "groove", so the moments are few&far between.
>funky tom waites
heh, funny you mention him, i never was able to get into him, found his singing too fake (and often wondered how/why beefheart didn't bother me as much, when they are quite similar)
> the old ones but anything after about early 2000's, with a few exceptions, are largely forgettable
applies to a lot of music, too… maybe a few more exceptions (mostly in metal/electronic music).
easier to make music off-corporations than movies, where the stakes are higher & more controlled…
>political hip-hop
i've been on/off hiphop, but for years i mostly find it soul-crushingly boring.
musically unsatisfying to listen to 3 seconds' worth of samples drawn out for 3 minutes.
if hiphop could remember this thing called "music", that'd be great
