Jonny_Paycheck said:Wayne is not remotely the first rapper to use Emmett Till in a lyric that way Not at all, but he may be the first one who did it while being the spokesperson for a major product.

volumen said:Pretty much flyies in the face of all the "bad press is good press" theories. Not really. This is not an all-or-nothing issue; it is subject to degrees of gradation. One can't possibly think that a poorly thought out commercial ma…

volumen said:Do you really think there plan was "this is so bad we'll have to pull it day of and people will talk about it for weeks. Awesome!!" ? Not at all. I'm saying they don't care. They did the ad they wanted to do, and any negative fee…

'Just don't look' is more a reference to the fact that ads will disappear quickly if no one pays attention to them, which I think most would agree is true. In the world of marketing/ads/PR, hatred, criticism and negative reaction is far better than …

JectWon said: My favorite drummer joke: What do you say to a drummer in a suit? "Will the defendant please rise?" Mine is: "What has three legs and an asshole?" "A drum stool".

jlee said:glad to hear Boston strutters appear to be okay. Question though (and not trying to troll for political scraps here), why does there seem to be such a point on whether or not this is labeled by authorities (and specifically the Pres…

volumen said:Purdie says it was just him and a producer and engineer adding a drum track in the studio and everybody was paid to shut up. If to be believed he's the only one still alive that was there so it's pretty convenient for his story. I think…

Rockadelic can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he was trying to be totalitarian about it - it seems like he's saying that an issue like gay marriage, which affects a small number of people relative to the size of the country, cannot, by d…

Poorly written article, designed to lead the reader to a predetermined conclusion (which unfortunately is not uncommon in journalism). Also ignores the fact that Presidents have had these powers for a very long time. The fact that many of us are jus…

Based on his bio, seems like he pretty much is the person he's criticizing in the articles, making it read more like an exercise in cathartic self-hatred. Fine, I guess, if that's the sort of thing one wants to read about.

Rockadelic said:Bloomberg appears to be a megalomaniac... I can't think of one useful or necessary law that was designed to protect me, as a legally consenting adult, from my own actions. Not only a megalomaniac, but always willing to throw hi…

A few interesting points, but took a long time to say very little. So the point apparently is that "Punk" as a statement/lifestyle/philosophy is strictly superficial and has no real value? True enough, I suppose, but the same could be said about str…

The White Album. (someone had to say it)

Of course, they're just biting this guy:

Definitely a better use of his time than "Sexual Eruption".

Leo Sayer?

Also, there's a brand called Bundaberg that's really good. I'm sure some of the Aussies here would know it (it's made there).

Virgil's. They actually use real ingredients rather than flavor extracts, which is what most of them rely on now, unfortunately. Full disclosure: when my grandfather was still around, he used to make root beer, which was amazing and pretty much spoi…
