I thought it was pretty clear that he didn't disagree but thought that the things he was doing wasnt merely bad policy but generally poor moral choices (i.e. sending people off to die in Iran too) thereby making him somone he viewed as not the most prime individual to share a beer with. it's like saying you disagreed with Hitler but that doesn't mean he wasn't a sack of shit or something. he's going based on a moral compass, not on a political one. I can disagree with Obama all I want, but I don't think he's a sack of shit. If he was trying to force the idea of war down people's throats on

is there really a point for you to keep incessantly making inane arguments?

can you imagine being charged by a gang of 9 year olds? I think I'd end up being run down simply on the premise that I didn't actually believe it was happening. that, or I'd finally live out my dream of kung fu fighting a whole class of 9 year olds, which given the odds would play out pretty sweet like Dragonball Z or something.

maybe what he's saying is not simply that he disagrees with him but that his moral compass is generally reprehensible, making him a "sack of shit". It would be one thing if it were his policy that he thought made him a sack of shit, but to me it seems like he thinks he's just a bad guy due to the fact he makes up generally faulty claims to send people to war.

well, from what I hear they're not worth much.

same here, but, apparently for some people it's impossible.

man, apparently it's a lot harder to go through life without a Duran Duran poster than I thought.

I definitely say dryer sheets. your clothes will smell like shit if you don't use them, with my experience most college laundry appliance suck and will underdry your clothes or leave smelling odd. DON'T BRING WHITE SHEETS. I'm learning that laziness+white sheets= unsettling coloring of the sheets over time. for that matter, dont bring bright sheets. if you can manage it, a carpet's nice. and if you can manage a carpet, try managing something to vacuum it with. bed lofters are great, if your bed doesn't loft. even then, you can loft your bed twice and manage a lot of extra space, which

holy shit, somone posted a topic and people spoke their opinions on the INNERNET???? I'm not sure this has been done before. talk about innovation! well, I'm with the group of people who think this guy is trite. I honestly never understood the draw. It's like the world decided that one out of the 500 garbage acoustic guitar playing hipsters was somehow different from the other whiny acoustic guitar playing hipsters and gave him a record deal. I still am surprised every time I hear that M.Ward or Jim James (two legitimate musicians) was caught on stage with this guy. I just don't like th

I hate the topic of racism because of all the stupid buzzwords that come up, it's like a sure-fire way of realizing the person you're discussing it with hasn't bothered to actually articulate their OWN opinion on the idea because they're just been gobbling up whatever was thrown their way. it always is some dumb variation of "haven't we paid enough" or "they haven't paid enough." I think it's silly trying to drop guilt on generations of people whose background don't involve either slavery or racism. End of. also, for the large group of Obamanites on the board: 1. How can you support a man

I like Jack White.

I'm sure a bunch of people here have seen this, but I personally didn't know there were any videos from that ACL that weren't I'm A Wheel on the internet. (if this even is that ACL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wNtp81Ks9M...feature=related

two words: Maggots Ninja that will answer the question. but really, I love cartoons, comics, etc. I'm going to school to do it for a living someday. love me some Chris Ware, Brian Chippendale, Gary Panter (one of the greatest living visual artists, IMO,) Tom Hart, Dan Clowes...I love these guys as much as any member of Wilco. just throwin' those names out there so maybe somone can agree with me on how rad Gary Panter is. but really, I love how universal comics can be. there are some great storytellers and then some crazy visual artists who love comics. both sides bring some really g

this is a debate that comes up in regard to art in general: if it doesn't affect a lot of people, does it make it bad art? I think you'll find universally, no. just because there's not a broad audience for something doesn't mean it's "bad" art. it works transversely, too. edit: I'm not even sure what I'm getting at here...

and that post.

yep.

yeah, like that sweater he's wearing.

hehe, if you watch John's face during that part, he actually is singing along and whatnot, you can catch him wince when Bennett kind of falters.

wait wait, did somone already mention owning a VW?

I understand it wasn't. I'm just saying that this guy really is incredibly overrated. I guess I just disagree. If you want pretty typical alt country "insert lap steel here, piano here, organ here" sounding stuff, I guess, I just think from his own songs and his addition to other songs JOR knows more about writing and arranging a song than RA does. JOR in general just knows more and can do more if asked, where I just get the impression RA thinks that anytime he writes a song it's worth something by adding lyrics to it, whether or not he's exactly attatched to what he's doing. and I'm no

...sure. sorry, I know it's all subjective, but, seriously. seriously. I like a lot more people than JO, but that doesn't mean I think they're as talented as him. I imagine you're just trying to rile me, but I honestly don't think these two guys compare.

I've always asked this before: who lets this hack even pick up a guitar? seriously. he's not really even funny. after watching that, doesn't anyone find it ironic that he pretty much commented on himself? edit: if that man is a genius, then Jim O'Rourke an individual who transcends time and space. please don't swing that label onto a man as wholly mediocre as Ryan Adams.

really? I thought Jay was pretty weak. his voice is weird and abrasive in some ways, so I thought this was an odd comment.

looking at that War On War Letterman vid two things are apparent: Jeff looks much much younger thanks to makeup (and being younger at that point) and he looks visibly ready to shit his pants at the drop of a pin.
