Cuz you are a one trick pony and you bore me. I ain't buying what you are selling and I'm not going to. So I use your little interruptions as an opportunity to make fun of Rush, or rearrange my sock drawer, or rate the super-hunks, or anything else of similar importance.

Today's "artists" are merely performers. Gone from the vast majority of music produced today is the kind of artistry and soul that was found in the best music of the 60s and 70s. Modern artists are more about the money than the craft. Just my opinion, but I'm right and you know it. Can you imagine some of today's musicians trying to put together some original thoughts of their own? They know better than to reveal their minimal understanding of things outside the recording studio.

That's a good way to put it. Did you ever see the documentary on "the wrecking crew?" It's worth a look.

During the divisive period of Vietnam and civil rights movement many artists joined in countering fascism and Republicans and Nixon. Protest bands abounded. Woodstock.... poets... visual arts... much had a political strain. We live in such times now with protracted war, an 🤡imperial 🐷 potus and a brain dead fascist Republican polity.

I'm disappointed the artists either don't exist in the folk blues soul and rock protest traditions or Madison Avenue doesn't see there is a need to elevate them.

Where have you gone joe DiMaggio?

I'm confused. What is happening today that compares to Vietnam?

I agree, and I hate that, and I've said so here & elsewhere.

Just to add, there just aren't many examples, because most entertainers tend to be liberal. But I hated the backlash against Stacey Dash for her Republican views. Azaelia Banks also got backlash for speaking positively about Trump. I still listen to her - it doesn't make sense to me that people want everyone to just think like they do.

Your liberal blinders and censorship of free speech will keep you always ... a low information voter. You're pissing yourself in fear of truth. You need a diappy change, little one.

We witnessed a bunch of pervert heathens occupy Wall Street not too long ago. Perhaps you can start your search from there. ;)
 
Protest songs, fighting the Man, the CRM, were all directed against the establishment, with National Guardsmen representing.

Today, antifa and the resistance are not fighting against the Man. They are taking beatdowns from their neighbors, a bunch of weekenders.

Just more FAKE NEWS from you.

In June, 1941, Wayne registered with Selective Service and was classified 3-A.* That meant he had dependents (wife and kids).* At that time, and for the first couple years of the war, that was pretty normal.* The draft board had plenty of young, single men to choose from; they didn't need a 34 year old with kids.

By late 1943, that was changing.* He became eligible, but a third party request for a deferment was submitted and he was classified 2-A.* That third party is believed to be Republic Pictures, the studio that had him under contract.* That deferment expired in May 1945, at which point Wayne was classified 4-F (too old).

Yep, that is textbook elaborate ruse and chicanery ^^^ used by your hardcore right wing chickenhawks to avoid service.

Legendary tough guy John Wayne never served a day in the US military and has long been accused of being a ‘draft dodger’
A shocking new book claims that he was so mesmerized by Dietrich, five years his senior, he refused to sign up fearing he would lose her
The Duke also feared military service might end his career by dragging on so long he would be too old to be ‘an action-oriented leading man’
He used an old shoulder injury as an excuse although it had never impacted his movie work as a stuntman
Eventually he regretted not doing his bit for his country and became a 'super-patriot' as a result, according to his second wife

I'd say Clooney then Depp then Lowe, in that order.

Yet you're just the sort of person to turn round and call the Daily Mail a reactionary right wing Brit tabloid when the mood takes you.

That's kinda mankind's MO. Very few people actually respect other people's views when those views don't align with their own perception of rational. For instance, the climate debate about the hiatus (IPCC AR5 section 9.2) and whether Karl's adjustments really negate the observational record. Am I really being irrational by scoffing at scientists when they choose to adjust relatively more accurate temps from buoys towards the warm-biased temps taken from ship inlets? Their argument is that either way you choose to adjust the data to correct the bias, the trend remains the same. This is true. But it also ignores that it changes the location on the graph where the trend falls. The Karl adjustments add .6 degrees C to the temperature reconstruction. This is what is known as the pausebuster. A statistical decision. Choose to adjust the ship temps and there will still be that nasty hiatus staring at you when you're done.

Anyway, to the point, humans define themselves on their beliefs so it's only natural for people want others to share their views. LOL I tried to think of a better word than share. Sharing views is the opposite of what you're saying. Impose their views?

Why does this thought have to be 100% linear? It's similar. There is decades of shit in Afghanistan, Iraq, disaffected dudes coming back injured in body and mind. Trump and Nixon share the same amount of credible pathos for the downtrodden, i.e. zero...

OK you disagree. You think the times are awesome so we should bring back bubble gum rock. You didn't 5 months ago.

I didn't have to pick that one. There are 100s on point. How much time do you expect for me to sort banter ammo according to its cred?
