Like most progressive bands, Rush had occasional periods of ------------ musicianship and pseudo-intellectual pretension, however, by-and-large they were quite brilliant. My favorite song of theirs is Subdivisions The drums keyboards and guitar are incredible and the lyrics are potent and universal- conform or be cast out.

But Ayn Rand can suck it, IMNSHO.

"Conservatives get wished death upon on this site daily"

There aren't any conservatives on this site. You may be the closest, but that's like saying a retrograde, trans-Neptunian object tumbling end-over-end 10 billion miles away is close to the Earth because it too also orbits the sun.

"Trump excoriating him after his passing, made my mind up"

LOL, you are just as bad as those Trump cultists who purposely say and do the exact opposite of what "the libs" say or do. If Trump says something that (heaven forbid) might be somewhat accurate or true, you become irrational and automatically decide that you must believe the opposite. True derangement.

Powell was not a great man. He deserves to be excoriated. He was an MIC dupe. His legacy will be that he was a weak man who allowed himself to be used in order to jumpstart a war where an entire country was needlessly destroyed and hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions were killed, injured, and forever psychologically damaged.

To sum up, screw Trump and screw Colin Powell.

There are certain graves that need to be danced upon-- Powell's and, someday, Trump's.

I remember watching this back around 2000 when I was in 4th grade. Best way to learn something is to make it funny. (By the way, Papa Bear manterrupts Mama Bear at 6:27)

Country music in a nutshell: Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and ten thousand copy-cats.

In other words, raise men like Jason Vorhees and/or Michael Myers!

A lifestyle is not a purpose.

The best way to live is take a stand but at the same time be ready to move in any direction.

"A benefit of being next to the most powerful nation on earth. "

That's an awfully beautiful thing to say about Russia, Boaz.

The Republican political platform has long resembled that of a gallows...

"That's why the original title was - 'Colin Powell Dead at 84 from COVID-19 Complications'."

Boaz' alternate headline: "Tragedy today, as former Secretary of State Colin Powell was eaten by wolves. He was delicious"

"China is a paper tiger"

Sez the guy who made a living unsuccessfully fighting 3rd world country cave dwellers.

George Eliot is still better.

War Criminal Powell Dead- Obligatory American Hagiography Follows....

"We always go back to why we have been close"

Wow, I didn't realize that juvenile correctional institutions let former inmates come back and visit to reminisce about the good ol' days.

"TDS is such a terrible affliction"

I agree. Look what it has done to millions of normally stupid, retrogressive Republicans-- it has made them even stupider and more retrogressive. So stupid that they always invariably think that it is people other than them that have been infected by it.

Lol, brilliant marketing strategy by the Rolling Stones. Now they have all these goofballs earning them $$$ downloading and listening to a 50 year old song thinking that they are somehow being rebellious or politically incorrect.

Actually if you go directly to the PEW website for the "American Trends Panel Wave 64'" in question you can see that Skeptical and his graph is completely full of ----- they don't even ask the question. All of them are instead about COVID19.

Facts aren't smears.

7.) Fascist Coup (0% successful)

"There's this guy who for years ran around saying he played the drums on the albums but he's been pretty well disputed"

Sounds familiar. There's also this guy who is currently running around saying he won the 2020 presidential election but he's been pretty well disputed.

I guess we'll always have idiots like that- the key is how many other idiots believe them.

Ooh, I was so close

"Pretty sure Batman had sex."

The bat signal was originally broadcast from the back door of a bar in Chelsea.
