i mean, it's fundamentally insane for him to propose this, because there is no Smiths catalog without Marr. Moz is a lyricist and singer, Marr created all of the music composition. Together they were the Smiths. It's no wonder he keeps getting sued, because his bullshit never ends
okay let me put it another way. It's fine to have contrary or divergent opinions on things, especially art. However, just the act of publicly stating that the entire 5 decades of one of America's greatest homespun art forms is shit... it raises questions. Like why even say that? hence my reaction
99.9% of the acts you love find your take embarrassing
Yeah. Can’t stand us a stretch but just… does nothing
Easily most embarrassing take on this godforsaken thread. I mean, Jesus 😬
As a gay, this is massively disheartening. I had no idea 😞😞😞
I find myself relating to Her
I mean this thread started with full on blasphemy so i figured all bets were off lol
Widespread Panic. I know they're all lovely people and workhorses of the live music scene forever and all very highly skilled musicians. But they put me to sleep. All sounds the same to me and it's never exciting.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Definitely the pickle orange
Someone please kill me right now.
I knew you’d know the Muzz…
I was today years old when i learned of the existence of Muzzy, a large green multi lingual creature who eats clocks. Like wtf
Just staying up late hopescrolling
We have all gone collectively insane and i love it 🙃
Heard they turned on the wind machines inside for Oz just like for phish
has it happened yet? 😈
.....
nobody respects JD, he will forever be a short nerd with no game who fucked a couch. once Thiel has used him as much as he can, Vance will disappear like a fart on a windy day
White dreaddy dudes have been around since forever tho
yeah was the only extended Tweeprise until, well, you know
I wish i could say i even knew the significance of DS back then, but i didn’t. Super noob. The only song i really knew was Knockin’ lol
you once gave me a card on a golf cart in mexico lol - that's as close as I got to a penalty
whats so damn funny Mr Haw
My first Dead show was 3.29.90 (with the Branford Marsalis Eyes, Dark Star, etc)
I already have my outfit picked out. Might even break my sobriety. Maybe 😈 just for a day. It won’t count
Thank you for your help understanding my own personal feelings of weirdness 🤗
holy shit. so weird how it's the exact same language and tone if you were to ask for help writing a paper about To Kill a Mockingbird
the whole "he looks absolutely terrible" thing, translated: "I look worse than I've ever looked, so bad that it actually frightens me, my skin is rotting, and someone told me a couple weeks ago that I'm dying and not long for this world."
Sorry i don’t engage with anonymous sock accounts, only real folks. Theres no point
His annual weed bill is mid 6 figures
Lol ok “cilantro”
i think jumping on and off the Jesus train also contributed... either way i'm with you that it's disappointing as fuck
he was also good friends with Frank Ocean and was very supportive of him, and gay folks' rights to live how they want, at the time. meaning he hasn't always been like this.
That’s a real blanket statement - hip hop does have a problem with it but not true of everyone, and Snoop was not “always” like that, trust
When did he become like that? I can’t remember snoop giving a shit about gay people. What a bummer :(
I have one too :-/
It’s so annoying I’m starting to hate the Atlantic too just by association
it was reached well before that but I support your pushback 100%. not that he'll listen. the smugness and priggishness are emanating from this blowhard in visible waves
how about the fact that the bridge collapsed 10 months before Trump took office... and yet he "gave" baltimore all of the "money" to "fix" it
reason #1872 why I love owlies
Oh thank god… the collections have been a bit spotty lately, this is a fantastic return to form
Jfc the pettiness of it all
That’s exactly what he’s suggesting
I realize this guy has a ton of followers and writes for a big famous magazine but he’s also spent all day gleefully trolling and being a punk while saying queer people should get back in the closet, so… great
I’d compliment him all day I’ve eaten way more shit in my professional life it would be easy
You’re easily amused
Watch out, homeboy will reskeet you instead of responding bc that’s more fun for him
Ugh he’s clearly talking about the LGBTQ thing and of course nobody responds honest to that. But yeah sure provide your dime store psych eval lol good lord
Not sure what u mean by homeless smokers
Actually “homeless” is not polite, it’s offensive, which is why people who give a shit don’t use it anymore. I’m done with this you’re really not very aware of modern discourse so bye
Well that explains more about your pov than before, and everything now tracks
Exactly. I raised the same question and it was ignored. I mean wow the queer community is more inclusive than most. Horrors. Stop them! 🙄
tbh, I think the terms inmates & prisoners are FAR less respectful than Incarcerated People. Just like "unhoused" is far more respectful than "homeless". It's not woke or far-left to think so. It's called having respect for the less fortunate.
i don't think they're appropriate. on the same level that I don't think there's anything wrong with "incarcerated people" and nobody has explained why it is, in any capacity. I do take the argument seriously. Perhaps even moreso than you?
I still don’t get what’s wrong with “incarcerated people”. Not all of them are in prison. Some are in county jail. How about “jailbirds” or “scaliwags”?
Are you saying queer folks should’ve just stopped at LGBT or is that off putting to you as well? Also what do you call people who are locked up?
cocaine's a hell of a drug heh heh heh heh
Ah yes, the Reagans, AIDS, shoulder pads, Sanka, Warrant, Winger & Skid Row… who wouldn’t wanna go back to that
That’s totally the word i was looking for, absolutely. That is not live tissue
also lots of "this festival kinda blows" reports
he's always been such a priggish little spit-shined nazi donkey boy
If we wanna solve world hunger, as soon as T’s gone, lock Stephen Miller into a cell and PPV his visits with a whole host of ne’er do wells and live stream that shit
I miss DD. Gizz was so epic there. I was looking forward to many more but not sure that’ll ever happen. Suuuuuuch a fuckin cool festie
i recognize that TV-art installation from Desert Daze
same
Thanks yo!
Grazi!
Triple digits today
Well buddy, u sound insane right now. Which tracks
I love how your “don’t be a jerk to strangers on the internet” philosophy flies out the window the minute you get called out as a humorless prig 😂
I agree with ya. Phish was probably helped a bit by Store 24 😎
I demand that you now read my post again 21 times and perhaps more until you comprehend it, agree that I’m right, and wish me a good day like u actually mean it. Making a Metallica joke does not constitute asshole behavior homie. Lighten up
Sorry no, I’m one of those Jews who isn’t so thin skinned that I’m bothered by the use of the terms Shylock, puppet master, or Svengali. I was making a joke but you seem humorless anyway so we can just end on that 👋🏼
The dead would’ve been great even without Owsley, he just made them sound better and got them super high. (Not a bad thing either way and he was an instrumental figure obviously but not a creative mastermind)
Does that mean Metallica are also anti semitic
I guess it’s a mandala effect. Saw it once in theater in college and then like 25 more times on vhs lol
That’s how it was in theatrical too. Only in a dvd extra special version do you hear actual Stairway
Shabbadoo
how is it a deflection? Most jews in this particular convo don't believe that insinuating PS was instrumental in that band's career (whether true or not) is anti semitic. These are people's beliefs and opinions. Which you keep asking for. and then when you get responses, you cry deflection. Why?
if that's what you think a non-sequitur is, maybe your misunderstanding of other terms makes more sense. I was directly answering your friggin question
so the very fact that Shapiro is jewish, while being accused of being a Svengali, makes it anti semitic? Seems pretty clear to me that the same theories would be circulating if the guy was named Tylor Kennedy Bridgelington
because if too many things are designated as anti-semitism, the entire concept begins to lose its meaning and intensity. And people start to ignore it and roll their eyes. I assume you're familiar with the Boy Who Cried Wolf?
I’m one of the most anti-anti-semitism jewwy jewjews of all the Jews i know and the Shapiro theory is totally fair game and not even close to being anti semitic and anyone who is actually pursuing that angle is doing more harm to us than harm prevention
Of Gerbils & Tweens
it's like these people never heard of WR Hearst or CF Kane lol
anyone who references a "gang of youths" is not a serious person
“The Sympathizer” had been written and shot and was in post-production when the Writers' strike began in May 2023. Park and McKellar worked to complete the show, believing they were following the strike rules, which forbid members from performing “writing services” for a struck company."
They could've just censured the guy. Or put him on probation. But they gave him the HARSHEST POSSIBLE PUNISHMENT, for doing POST PRODUCTION work... which the DGA actually allows. It's much more complex than most folks realize.
to everyone who cheered Park Chan-Wook being expelled from WGA for "scab-writing"... maybe cool your jets and read this piece. This brilliant auteur was very new to the Guild (and joined ONLY for this show) and was unfamiliar with rules. Expelled? Gross, and too harsh. variety.com/2025/tv/news...
Cause of Deaths in London 1632.
death by "Teeth"? Lotta those...
It’s so gross i felt a sort of relief that he wasn’t focusing all of his deluded fascist rage upon our city anymore. But maybe it needs to happen in a lot of other places before folks realize what’s happening
I’ve been a dues paying member for 17 years and never crossed a picket line but unlike you i don’t take glee in seeing brilliant artists publicly flogged. That’s a Verrone tactic and many high profile scribes were against it then, and now they’re cool with it. Thats on them i guess 🤷🏼♀️
Please find me the rule book or contract that states any difference in hire ability if you leave the guild willingly (ficore) or if you are expelled. I’ll wait.
