  1. there is nothing about the lyrics or music in Happiness is a Warm Gun that cannot be interpreted as a defense of Second Amendment rights.

    Nothing??

     

    Nothing that cannot be interpreted as a defense of Second Amendment rights??

    How about the entire 1st 1/2 of the song?

     

    She's not a girl who misses much

    Do do do do do do- oh yeah

    She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand

    Like a lizard on a window pane

    The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors

    On his hobnail boots

    Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy

    Working overtime

    A soap impression of his wife which he ate

    And donated to the National Trust

     

    I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

    Down to the bits that I left uptown

    I need a fix cause I'm going down

     

    Yes, well you see, the "velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane" CLEARLY refers to the limits of infringing on the right to bear arms.

  2. and of course the beatles - something which could be the best love song ever written.

     

    'Something' is a great song, yes. Great love song? I don't know. The lyrics imply the singer's attraction to other lovers, and how the object of affection diminishes his need for other lovers.

     

    "Something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover"

    "Something in her smile she knows that I don't need no other lover"

     

    Is that something you'd say to the object of your affection? "Oh honey, there's something about you that prevents me from philandering..."

     

    Then he goes on to say that he can't assure that his love will grow, but if she sticks around it might show.

    Pretty tepid love-lyrics, I sez...

     

    So instead, I nominate Van Mo's Sweet Thing:

     

    And I will stroll the merry way

    And jump the hedges first

    And I will drink the clear

    Clean water for to quench my thirst

    And I shall watch the ferry-boats

    And theyll get high

    On a bluer ocean

    Against tomorrows sky

    And I will never grow so old again

    And I will walk and talk

    In gardens all wet with rain

     

    Oh sweet thing, sweet thing

    My, my, my, my, my sweet thing

    And I shall drive my chariot

    Down your streets and cry

    hey, its me, Im dynamite

    And I dont know why

    And you shall take me strongly

    In your arms again

    And I will not remember

    That I even felt the pain.

    We shall walk and talk

    In gardens all misty and wet with rain

    And I will never, never, never

    Grow so old again.

     

    Oh sweet thing, sweet thing

    My, my, my, my, my sweet thing

    And I will raise my hand up

    Into the night time sky

    And count the stars

    Thats shining in your eye

    Just to dig it all an not to wonder

    Thats just fine

    And Ill be satisfied

    Not to read in between the lines

    And I will walk and talk

    In gardens all wet with rain

    And I will never, ever, ever, ever

    Grow so old again.

    Oh sweet thing, sweet thing

    Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes

    And your saint-like smile....

  3. I would add Zappa's You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Volume 2, the Helsinki concert. Excellent show with a great lineup.

    Also, any live Coltrane. I know this is a thread on rock albums, but Coltrane rocks. Seriously.

     

    That band was his best, IMHO. Isn't that the show that he culled for the Inca Roads solo on One Size Fits All? Great Googly Moogly he really ripped that one.

     

    I keep holding my breath for the Roxy DVD.

  4. Rogen doesn't think so:

    AVC: In a lot of movies with stoner characters, there's a scene at the end where the smoker throws away the pot, to symbolize that they've changed. Was there ever any pressure for you to do that, to have an arc that was a little more "redemptive"?

     

    SR: There was from Judd. If you ask Judd, he sees this as an anti-weed movie. I don't know what movie he's watching. [Laughs.] I can't imagine any outcome for this movie other than people watching it and wanting to smoke weed. But I think that's a testament to the fact that we really didn't put in any strong message when it comes to the weed. They don't say, "Hey, everyone should go smoke weed," they don't say "Hey, no one should." Each character deals with it in their own way. There is no definitive conclusion about it. Because again, to us, that's not what the movie is about. It's not about "Will these guys stop smoking weed?" It's about "Will they be friends with one another?" So we didn't feel like that was an issue that needed to be addressed, really. And we purposely didn't. Yeah, Judd definitely

  5. Why?

    So that they would play it?

     

    Because he/she is a jackass.

     

    Steely Dan is amazing..

     

    He's a jackass for shouting a request to play a song by a band you consider amazing? m'kay...

     

    You need to get smarter, wittier friends.

     

    Wow. Three in a row. I suppose "third one in line" is your example of wit? Thanks for adding to my experience.

  6. link? specifically fornication?

     

    https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/statute...ord=fornication

     

    609.34 FORNICATION.

    When any man and single woman have sexual intercourse with each other, each is guilty of

    fornication, which is a misdemeanor.

     

    https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/statute...eyword=adultery

     

    609.36 ADULTERY.

    Subdivision 1. Acts constituting. When a married woman has sexual intercourse with a man

    other than her husband, whether married or not, both are guilty of adultery and may be sentenced to

    imprisonment for not more than one year or to payment of a fine of not more than $3,000, or both.

    Subd. 2. Limitations. No prosecution shall be commenced under this section except on

    complaint of the husband or the wife, except when such husband or wife is insane, nor after

    one year from the commission of the offense.

    Subd. 3. Defense. It is a defense to violation of this section if the marital status of the woman

    was not known to the defendant at the time of the act of adultery.

     

     

    ****

     

    I'll let you smart people ponder the significance that Fornication refers to "any man" and "single woman"... Not a "married woman"?

    Oh wait - a married woman can only commit Adultery...

     

    To my knowledge - both of these are "dead" statutes - meaning, they've never been acted upon.

  7. I thought that Sky Blue Sky was what Wilco became after they had assimilated Steely Dan, Borg-like.

     

    A friend of mine kept shouting for "Reeling in the Years" at Wilco's Duluth show last summer.
