Weren't you all about Starsailor or something...?

Ronnie Raygun · #27

No, that was The Mars Volta.

KevinTheOmnivore · #28

No, we BOTH love the mars volta, but YOU like every lame brit-pop band that comes out....

Helm · #29

Since when is The Velvet Underground a punk band?

Protoclown · #31

1. The Clash fucking kicked ass.

2. What about political bands? Are you telling me that a band like the Dead Kennedys shouldn't have talked about politics when that was a good part of what they sang about? I'd say Pearl Jam is a fairly political band too, so why would it be out of place at all for Eddie Vedder to voice his opinion on politics?

That's a good point. If a band is already political, then the fan base is, consequently, politically-minded and it is part of the reason they enjoy the bands in the first place. From there, it becomes a "chicken and the egg" problem. Is the band popular because people already shared their political views and said band is their voice or did the band push their views and the fanbase become tainted or, in the extreme, become the band's voice? Or am I over-emphasizing the political influence of bands? With the preponderance of "Rock The Vote" commercials I've been seeing, I'd say that I'm pretty close to the mark.

I don't like baggage handlers who try to be politicians or think they have all the answers.....the same goes for turnips.

Well, if we're going to talk about this, I hope your signature's some kind of joke.

HAHAHAHA!

You sad fuck.

I'm not a baggage handler.

Really? You've moved up in the world since you've learned to stand on your hindlegs Ronnie.

And yes, my sig is a joke.

Gas station attendants, being well versed in world economics and geo-political issues, know full well why the price of gas per gallon is as high as it is ... seriously.

Depleted domestic reserves right? I think that is what I read anyway. . .

Moved up? How elitist of you.

The_Rorschach · #40

Don't let my lack of social scruples fool you Ronnie, I've always been an elitist. Weeping, creeping Christ, I drive a Jaguar. I am an admitted Anglophile.

Ever have I ascribed to aristocratic and patrician ideals, principles and tastes.
