  1. Evaluating GnR by lyrical content? Never considered that for a second.
  2. Making a Murderer. Holy shit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Axl, Slash and a bunch of hired hands? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Ditto. Ace of Spades is the only song I know, but the guy was a trailblazer and lived life and made music on his own terms. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Episode V. Cloud City. Han, Leia, et. al. held as bait for Luke. No dialogue between Leia and Vader that I recall. Vader had no idea until the climactic fight with Luke in episode VI. My point is if you follow the logic that there are no secrets to those who are strong with the force, you will find billions of inconsistencies and plot gaps. I can't see Luke reproducing if he had any knowledge of how Anakin's relationship with Padme helped lead him to the dark side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Or they had reasons for not revealing the truth like Kenobi to Luke. And why should Leia's force sense be stronger than Vader's who never recognized her as his daughter.
  7. Got both of these for Christmas. The first two in the series I've read. Finished Let it Be. Very good, but more about Meloy's discovery of underground music through a cool uncle than specifically about the band or the album. About halfway through Low. It's all about the music, Bowie's mentality, and the wide array of influences at work. Spotify has been an excellent resource to explore many of those influences. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I think Rey will turn out to be Kylo Ren's sister. No on Finn. Quite possible on Phasma. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Good lord! A near perfect movie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I just went the other way a couple of weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I would argue that we could prevent their ranks from swelling. ISIS did not form out of thin air. It would be convenient and naive to believe that our policies dedicated to keeping cheap oil flowing out of the middle east haven't hardened attitudes toward the U.S. and the western world in general.
  12. Hixter, in general, I really respect your views. But l would argue that it's a special kind of stupid to not realize that allowing pretty much anyone to buy weapons of war is allowing us to arm terrorists within our own borders. As I argued a couple of pages ago, the organization to which you now belong has absolutely zero interest in keeping arms out of the hands of terrorists. Again, the NRA purports to support gun owners. It really supports gun manufacturers. I believe we ought to be able to protect our lives and our property with firearms, but the NRA is really out of hand. This graphic
  13. Richard Thompson. Got the tickets before I knew the Hawkeyes would be playing in the Big 10 Championship game with an undefeated record. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I'm a moderate Republican. I will not vote for Trump or Cruz or Carson. If they're nominated, I will vote or ant Democrat. I voted Obama in 2008 mostly because of Palin. I voted for Romney in 2012.
  15. Dreaming about a tour. After his last album, Iman dropped a hint at one, but I imagine he's probably done giving his health.
  16. Commodores - Brick House (though the 5th grader version of me who was at that show probably thought it was Three Times a Lady or something like that)
  17. I was really touched by the reactions of the people from North Adams. Selfishly, I've thought they should move this festival from region to region around the country. I don't think that anymore.
  18. If you research quantified easing, you may find that liberals -- or at least Democrats -- own some of the problem of income inequality.
  19. Pretty much every word out of his mouth insults Jesus. If not by name, by message.
  20. But your negative attention feeds the beast! The more he and his supporters are chastised, the more they dig in their heels.
  21. He's an asshat who will not be the Republican nominee and gives us all an opportunity to feel morally superior. He's eminently quotable I the worst way possible, so the media bites. I'm fairly certain he doesn't believe half the shit he says but knows it will get him more of the attention he so desperately craves. We're helping feed the beast.
  22. Any examples you can cite from the last 35 years?
  23. Any attempt to restrict gun purchases is dismissed out of hand by the NRA.
