    Once I get a game on I haven't had a problem with spooling but getting one to come on is the bitch! If there are many soccer games going on I have no shot.

    Sitting here laughing out loud like a lunatic at Sacha Baron Cohen and his Who Is America show.
    This guy is off the charts...good to laugh after acute embarrassment in CO.

    From a friend at ABC - Aretha Franklin is in grave condition and her family has gathered by her bedside.

    Iconic singer and all time great.

    Gary Moore with the TREMENDOUS feel of Greeny crying. If this one doesn't get to you, you ain't human.

    Do yourselves a favor and give this 10 interupted minutes.

    When I think of Aretha, I think of "Think."

    Gary Moore is a killer. Criminally undeerrated. Check out his cover of Red House sometime.

    That version of red house is one of the greatest ever. What's interesting about that performance is that it was at the 50th Anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster concert and he completely blew away every other performer who was there that night, which oddly included Brian May, who is known for playing The Red Special.

    May was overshadowed in Queen by one of the greatest frontmen ever. Also terribly underrated.

    Saw this legend's version of Red House live at the Avila Beach Blues festival a few years before he died. We had tickets about four rows back. Got chills when he walked on stage.

    sure but he got Sasha Baron Cohen fired from the Freddy Mercury movie because he wanted Mercury to die of aids mid movie and the second half be all about Brain May carrying the band forward to the future trying out new lead singers or some shit until they get to an fake american idol to replace their real british one.

    The music should be played WITHOUT watching Gary's pasty double chins being comically contorted into hilariously grotesque shapes.

    I wanted to watch his flying fingers but every time they cut to his face I about lost it. Had to set my drink down to finish video

    So on March 9 Sacha says...
    https://www.rollingstone.com/music/...departure-from-freddie-mercury-biopic-240616/
    "Actor, Queen clash on scope of movie, portrayal of late singer's debauchery"

    And on April 10 Brian May replies
    https://www.rollingstone.com/movies...acha-baron-cohens-queen-biopic-claims-190637/
    "Sacha became an arse. We had some nice times with Sacha kicking around ideas, but he went off and told untruths about what happened,” guitarist says


    Yeah maybe @rube, but maybe Sacha got himself fired by trying to turn Freddie Mercury's life into another Borat shit schtick when May and the band called bullshit/uncle

    Everything has a price.
    Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
    Everyone must face judgement day, even Terminators.
    This country was built on on slavery like every other empire of the past.
    It conquered, raped, and pillaged its way through the land exterminating the previous occupants, concentrating them so their children's ruined themselves and the honor of their way of life. Trading away their everflowing creeks and springs for a couple of cases of bud light and diet coke.
    It brought in migrants from all over the world to build its foundation and infrastructure machine that would trample them underfoot.
    It conquered many nations and invaded many more culturally so that those people wanted to come 'home' to the mecca of their newfound American culture. But of course not everyone loves our cultural domination.
    This happened to the winged golden lion of the Babyls, the giant man eating bear of Persian Media, the 4 headed spotted leopard of the Hellenes, and the terrible 10 horned 7 headed dragon of mixed iron and clay that are the ancient (iron) and modern (clay) Romans.

    Eventually the slaves, migrants, halfbreeds, and bastards always get their revenge and the land becomes theirs.
    Only to be destroyed due to their lack of experience and understanding of how to run shit.
    And that usually ends the empire.
    Remember what happened in the south when they overturned slavery and started to let inexperienced former slaves run the government.
    If you give the formerly oppressed like illegal immigrants, blacks, gays, teenagers, and women the purse strings of government they will bleed the kitty dry in no time. Because they will first and foremost want payback. Since they can write checks without balance they will pay themselves and their friends what they 'feel' they 'deserve'. Tanking the economy in the process in what amounts to financial masturbation. And masturbation like socialism wastes our seed (present) and bears no good fruits (future).

    But we should not complain at this point.
    Like Jesus telling the Antifa of his time who wanted anarchy and rebellion in the streets... who is on that coin you love so much?
    God gave you the shekel, your own money based on the neverending fixed and easy to predict cycle of life. The real gold standard.
    But you chased after the easy dinero of the Romans. You loved the fancy wines and the princely robes and the gilded chariots the lovely denarius afforded you... you once loved them but now you say death to Romantica!
    It's too late now.
    You had a great thing and now someone bigger and stronger has come in and taken it from you because you bent over for a little gold and unwittingly sold your soul.

    im w you man
    i just can't take the cognitive dissonance and the agenda
    i can be critical of a lot of the things i see going on
    but the libs have lost their fucking minds supporting some of these "ideas"
    no choice but to oppose it w all my forces now
    fuck them
    its like believe what they tell you or you are going to get lectured on your ignorance
    i'm done listening and articulating responses that get ignored
    you want open borders, more muslims and socialism?
    go fuck yourself
    oh and these should probably be in the politics thread w all the other ugly rants lol

    One of the most consistent modern bands. Some truly brilliant stuff on this most recent album.
