It all makes sense now . . .

Green Day at Gilman Street in Berkeley. Around 1989. Other bands on the bill were Sam I Am and I think Mr. T Experience (but maybe not). I didn't know who Green Day were and spent a lot of time outside the club talking to people. They exploded shortly thereafter.
A band I was in opened for Third Eye Blind at some little club in San Francisco. I wasn't in the band at the time. Evidently it was not a pleasant experience: small crowd and the singer for Third Eye Blind was kind of upset things.

I watched about an hour last night - a horrifying and sad fascist spectacle.

Too bad about the heading, "Is this the best country can do for president?".
I myself have wondered what country can do for president. It seems country votes for people that it doesn't actually like for nominee. Country should be more thoughtful in nomination process and maybe next time country will nominate Kasich, and O'Malley, or Sanders.
lol
Is Mike Pence an albino?

I was a lurker in those days (still am basically), but i do remember this. I also remember a sado-masochistic bondage interpretation of She's a Jar that was about the most amazing thing I've ever read (as well as the reactions to it). Those were the days... ok, back to my lurking...

Just came across this - never seen it before. Summerteeth era interview in Oslo:

This election is like trying to decide which cancer is more healthy for you.
That perfectly sums it up.

But...but...he's a doctor.
Oh shit! What was I thinking!

Free college for everyone is far crazier and more unfeasible than building a wall.....Sanders's agenda is horrible. Venezuela North.
Bullshit.
-
I'd say it's actually a good rule of thumb to assume they're lying when considering any candidate during election season. Trump isn't going to build a wall, Sanders isn't going to everyone a free ride on the backs of the rich and Hillary isn't going to take on Wall Street.
Yep. However, Sanders believes his lies and will fight for his agenda, whereas Trump and Clinton are just saying shit to win the prize at the talent show.

It's clearly a case of autoerotic asphyxiation.

This militia crap and then the whole BoB flat earth thing... strange.

ooops yes - the thing is still ongoing.

The Nutbag Brigade has fallen.

Should it or shouldn't it is a separate discussion, the fact is that federal law does trump state law. That is a well settled issue. Article VI, para 2.
It's my opinion that in the modern era with our population being fairly mobile that maybe the time for states and separate laws for them might be at an end. Sure maintain their integrity and allow this state or that state to manage their resources, levy taxes etc... But perhaps it's time for criminal laws and other laws governing society to be made uniform across the country. Just a thought.
Centralization of power is a scary thing - whether the power be corporate or governmental. With criminal law, there is the Model Penal Code...
People who are very pro-Fed when it comes to the civil rights movement, are suddenly very state's rights when it comes to the issue of cannibis. Those are actually my positions, and I can see the inconsistency as plain as day.

Here's a cool youtube of Lemmy singing for Hawkwind in the early 70s:

I guess I won't be eating lunch today.

Eddie Munster for President!

kill it with fire!
Oh God no.

I'm going to vote for Sanders in the primary, but it disturbed me how he talked about the US toppling dictators such as Mosaddegh, Allende, Hussein, and Gadaffi. Mosaddegh and Allende were democratically elected - they weren't dictators.
And then Clinton and Sanders saying that we've got to take out the dictator Assad who kills his own people -- as if it isn't at all unseemly for politicians in the USA to be calling for the forced removal and assassination of another country's leader.
pretty sure it means 'bomb the living shit out of them.'
until the next Tal-Qae-Sis forms.
Yep.
-
Is it me or is the Democratic debate so much more substantive and nuanced than the Republican debates?
I agree.
-
What does it mean to "destroy" Isis?
I know that all the candidates, Republican and Democrat, say this - but it sounds dumb.
-
When the song is good, the production is less of an issue. Big Log, Heaven Knows...those are good songs. For some reason I've always thought that dudes who work at Guitar Center only listen to solo Plant
lol
-
Damn that 80s production! Ruined Plant's solo stuff too. Still does...IMHO.
I usually hate 80s production, but for some reason really like Little by Little by Plant:

I guess that's what really turned me off to Wilco and Tweedy after the firing of Coomer and Bennett. They both worked hard to make the band successful and, just as the band was on the verge of becoming something and their hard work could start to pay off, Tweedy fired them. Just my two cents.
