Ron Paul’s still grifting:

How is this not illegal gambling?

It is illegal gambling. It’s just not impeachable.

This the unplugged version? Or another awesome one? Because this one is awesome :+1:

Music of Chance looks good. Thanks for bringing it up. Paul Auster might be someone I need to explore. I still remember seeing The Book of Illusions seemingly fkin everywhere for a while.

There might not be chocolate syrup in that bottle.

One of the few situations where I’m kind of hoping it is though?

Drinking the syrup is hilarious and awesome.

Definitely legit funny if it’s chocolate syrup. Really not so much if it’s booze.

He lied and told them to get rid of her
We didn’t care, share anyway
He told us we’d still be free
And we didn’t care, share anyway
They tried last week for to impeach him
But it wasn’t real, share anyway
I think we’ll ruin the nation
I really don’t care right now, share anyway

Is there a better vocalist than Richard Page in Mr. Mister? His ability to emote is unmatched. I tend to prefer trained voices over performance-based–Bob Dylan is an awful singer but a great singer, if you know what I mean. But Page is that rare combo of performance and technical prowess for an irresistible baritone sound.

Morrissey? Love the “serious but ironic but serious but eye-rolling at the seriousness” in this:

Edit: responding mostly to the “ability to emote” in your post–I immediately thought of this song.

100% agree. “How Soon is Now?” is also an enduring song.

With that, we have entered the random wikipedia rabbit hole portion of the evening.

After actually playing the Mr. Mister tracks, maybe you’re more in the mood for something a little more “big” like Peter Murphy?

But back in the Morrissey vein…

Okay, one more:

Paul Auster GOAT. My personal favorite is Moon Palace. I purged like 500 books a year ago and didn’t touch these. :slight_smile:

Fuck Morrissey’s far right wing racist extremism and all the people posting his shit music here.

Tesla is “worth” more than GM, Ford, and Chrysler combined. I’m sure nothing bad could happen like their production plants all are in the corona virus areas or anything like that though.
