Gillymor,..Hey 'pal', you go back through my posts, and you'll find I've been ahead of the 'partisan talking points curve'..even calling stuff BEFORE it happened...and what do you and some of your 'so-called liberals' have??..nothin!.. but whining, some name calling, and feeble attempts at slurring people, who, by the way, are not all the time 'conservatives' or Republicans. You guys get a notion in your heads, that tranquilizes you into your own little comfort zone, and then fuck with anyone who tries to awaken you out of your self induced slumbers....and, of course, like sleeping lazy fools, you start bitching at anyone trying to wake you up, so you can pull the wool back over your own eyes, and fall back to sleep!..Problem is, you've all been administered the same sleeping pill...called 'talking point propaganda'!!!.....so drowsily, you rub your eyes, grumble a few 'non-facts', and call some names, and sloppy insults, and think you've accomplished something...but state NOTHING!
scroll back over almost any thread, and look.....and then you all scratch your butts, and wonder why folk music has no more impact!
......It's because your bullshit is irrelevant, and boring. You don't have to agree with everything, but for goodness sakes, at least make an attempt at trying to THINK!
Firth is a bit of an exception...he does think...he thinks everyone should be in awe of his infinite wisdom and knowledge, and admire him, for making bullshit sound so elitist, and sophisticated.....it's like trying to make mousse out of old dogshit!...just whip it up and spin it around!...serve it up, and the stray cats come rushing to it!!...and lick it up with great delight!
What's your excuse? You do music,(allegedly), you write??.....having a bit of a writer's block??....Start exercising your mind! Think outside the box, which has been 'neatly provided for you' by 'talking point parrots'..but it's really only mousse flavored dog crap.
Give a position on what you think, or perceive, instead of whining about having to impress someone, about a position, that you can't seem to articulate!
Fair enough?
