Gromnir Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 posted a few months past, but the rnc made relevant by stealing. we didn't realize at first as we immediate turned off our tv when the fireworks display started, but the rnc used this song as accompaniment. the cohen estate is suing. ... am suspecting the rnc only considered that the word "hallelujah" would appeal to evangelicals.

Bartimaeus Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Sometimes the algorithm comes through; 2 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

algroth Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Been listening to a bunch of music these last few months.

Gromnir Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 is curious how often this song gets subverted by the people fogerty were targeting. will concede our prefered ccr song is the following: how a bunch o' bay area guys became inextricable linked with southern rock is curious and wonderful.

Gorth Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I've never seen them together, but I've seen CCW and John Fogerty separately live. Ah, back in the good old days when live music was still an option A band I never got to see was Metallica. I actually had no less than 3 tickets for their concert in Melbourne last year, but it got cancelled 1 frigging month before the concert because Hetfield needed to go back to rehab for his addiction problems... as for now, my attitude is **** Metallica, let me get to a Rammstein concert some day “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

In that short time they produced an utterly LUDICROUS amount of super awesome songs. Shame on you Gromny for not including the best of the bunch (I keed they have so many amazing songs that the best one is super subjective... for real, though, Green River is the greatest): Edited September 14, 2020 by Keyrock RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
