  • Cool, thanks for that tune… hadn’t heard it before.

    Now did auto-tune bleed it’s way in to rap? I don’t quite remember that. What I personally remember is that by the late 90’s, almost all the playfulness and experimental nature was gone from hip-hop, leaving me really nothing to hang on too, anymore. My ongoing ‘rap needs’ pretty much shifted to Caribbean music, and I’ve never really looked back, other than to enjoy the old classics.


  • From what I understand, global nuclear war was an ongoing concern by the mid-50’s, when the nuclear arms race got in to full swing. Along the timeline of the ensuing Cold War, there have evidently been a shocking number of close calls, with global war being averted by a single individual in some cases.


    Let that sink in, if you will-- a SINGLE … fecking … person choosing to do the adult and humane thing, for the good of all us other humans, and most life on Earth.

    Holy shit, does that person(s) deserve one hell of a victory parade, y’know?!


    Now one note of interest might be that the USSR’s cache of nuclear arms may not have been well-maintained over the years, so modern Russia might be sitting on a far more limited amount of live weapons than exists on paper. FWIW… which of course probably isn’t much, in the end.







  • Yes, there’s a point to what you’re saying, but to paint with the same broad brush upon them both is not only delusional at best, but in real-world terms, actually toxic in terms of influencing voting bases. Shame on you.

    Just look at the public voting records of Congress going back ages, and see how Dems (warts and all) actually do the right thing most of the time. Decade after decade…

    When people bang their drums upon ‘money playing a part of politics’ being outrageous, unexpected and ‘breaking the system,’ what they’re really saying is that they fundamentally don’t understand capitalism… the very system they grew up in.

    “Both sides being the same” is beyond an idiotic, false narrative, and any decent history or political scholar can tell you just that. It’s the message of dictators and oligarchs really, upon close examination.
