Anything goes.

I’ll start with -

It’s okay to sit on a public toilet seat bear ass depending on where you are located - namely a three star or above hotel.

OTOH, whomever touted The Doors. There's a band I grew to hate. It's just so sloppy and noodly It reminds me of a drunk mumbling in his sleep on a subway car.

Snooooore . . . DAY DIVIDES THE NIGHT!! . . . urp, mumble grumble . . . . NIGHT DIVIDES THE DAY!!! harrumph. . . .

Rock and roll is completely dead and will never come back.

The problem is with classic rock radio. They have condensed their playlists to the point that you are only hearing the top 5 songs (sometimes only the top one or two) by these artists and have played them to death for forty or fifty years. It's aimed at an older crowd and I think it's basically just familiar background noise for a lot of people. For others, it's been five decades of torture as idiots call in to request Sweet Home Alabama even though the station just played it an hour ago.

True. It stinks. Need +1000 song rotation.

OH MY IT HAPPENED

Clinical is a great word for it, I can understand that they’re top shelf musicians and still find their music boring and completely lacking in raw emotion at the same time

I hate Trump as a person. I wouldn't let my daughter date him, marry him, or just have random sex with him. He's a lousy human being, insecure, and a grotesque bully.

That said, I agree with many things the administration has attempted to do in policies, like stronger immigration rules, handling of refugees (outside of caging children. Yes, I know Obama did it too, but I didn't know he did it or I would have been very angry at him as well), NAFTA negotiations and the like.

So that makes me unpopular in both left and right circles...

They were a great live band. I was sitting in the 4th row at the Music Hall in 1968. They did their usual number of smashing their equipment at the end and pieces of guitar and assorted percussion equipment went flying as far as the 10th or 11th row. I caught a chunk of Moon's guitar, but I gave it to the hippy-dippy girlfriend.

Moon was the drummer, he didn't have a guitar on stage as far as I remember.

Racing is not a sport.

Disclaimer-Not like I care-but this was a common theme on a sports call in show over 20 years ago. Just thought I would throw it out there.
