I don't guess I've ever actually seen a glenn beck show. I'll have to set the DVR one night this week so I can be as angry as everyone else.

I can't believe I missed 10 pages of post count opportunities

thanks for that article, Louie. very interesting. sadly I don't see how this trend is going to end anytime soon

Pet Sounds would probably not make my top 150

so if a song is catchy or has any redeemable qualities that makes it a pop song?

Deeper Down One Wing Bull Black Nova Country Disappeared Solitaire Everlasting Everything you think these are pop songs?

Josh Groban should honor Neil Young by staying home

how will this NOT turn into a reality tv show?

I'm so confused. are the democrats still spineless or not?

that's what I first thought of when I saw this thread. I don't think the album concept will die, but I look forward to different ideas/lengths for albums, as the old physical limitations inevitably ended up with good stuff getting cut and crap getting thrown in as filler.

there's some iron-clad journalism

I have piles of gay friends. I've even let them use my restroom.

the government should offer civil union licenses to any adults willing to apply for them and pay the requisite fee. period. any restriction based on race, gender, sexual preference or number or partners is based in religion, and therefore a no-no. marriages belong in arenas that in theory should have nothing to do with the government.

yes. as to On The Road, that book really changed my life freshman year of college. I imagine that it would not do much for me now. At the time it helped me to jump out of my shell of perspective and insecurity and decide to live life--just lit a fire under my ass to experience some things. I think one has to be in a certain mindset to enjoy it. I can understand how in a vacuum it would fall short (in a pure literary sense) of all it's fabled praise.

just so I'm clear--you're upset with this guy for resorting to stereotypes and pandering to an audience, right? wait, there it is again.

agreed. I seem to favor her roast bits, but just couldn't get through her show. ed.: ("roast bits")

my main point is that everyone misses my point

you must have watched him in interviews and read his song lyrics

zing!

I heard that Dunham dressed up as David Foster Wallace for Halloween

this thread just made my afternoon

Please highlight anything in the first post that in any way puts forward the notion that "Wilco's music and lyrics contain actual soul-satisfying peace and love... the Phish scene is substanceless when it comes to that."

I don't think anyone missed your point, and apparently you are going to continue to change your point until it makes some kind of sense (hint: you're not there yet) Wilco have changed bits and pieces (tempos, instrumentation/accompaniment, solos...) on a lot of their catalogue over the years--sometimes very subtley, sometimes more pronounced. In my opinion an "anti-jam band" would be a band that simply plays its songs live exactly as they sound on their albums. Wilco rarely ever does so. I'd love to hear more about your knowledge of Jeff's personality and beliefs

please PM me a list of everyone whom Jeff hangs out with. Once I have that I can finally die.
