Welcome!

IT’S ALIVE.

Health care workers: we ride at dawn bitches!

A guy came into the clinic I work in wearing a spray paint respirator mask with a beekeeper’s veil overtop, and with dishwashing gloves that he had pulled ordinary latex gloves over. It was wild.

I was considered an essential worker, and so I toddled off to work every day as usual. I remember while my spouse was driving me in how eerie it seemed with how quiet the city was, and seeing 68 cents per liter gasoline prices was such a shock. The quiet was what really got to me.

My friend had brain surgery for an aneurysm, and every so often she fumbles a word as a result. One day she wanted to say the word lumberjacks, but her brain came up with logfarmers instead.

It’s really unfortunate.

Oh gosh I didn’t even know that.

His son. He dangled him when he was holding him on a balcony over the heads of fans. I don’t know why.

Understood. The TV show was totally hilarious.

I was talking about them in this thread because I’m also a fan, and I don’t believe a word that Tokkie said. I think they’re not great people but I think that’s all horseshit.

I like him even though I’m not into pop, he’s like the only pop star l listen to.

Oh wow.

I love that you have CDs though.

Ha he is crusty.

Those books are wild.

Grunge is so dull. I am all for generations developing their own style of music without question but I can’t believe we turned away from 80s music to THAT. I thought Nirvana was mediocre as can be. Love Mechanical Animals, but like all of his albums to some degree. I’m glad he’s gotten back on his feet in life and got sober and lost the weight.

Die Antwoord, what Tokkie is saying just sounds so outlandishly fake. I don’t think they’re great people but I actually think they care a lot about their kids.

I do too. I pretty much hated all music made in the 90s; I think grunge is awful and so is NIN, but I felt like Manson was a natural extension of what bands like WASP and Motley Crue were doing but reinvented for that generation, and it’s really good. I like music that has some concept and theater to it. I still listen to him.

I also like Die Antwoord; I think the accusations by their adopted son are total bullshit. I’m not saying they’re good people and I do think they’re homophobic, but also a lot of their image is obviously artificial and they obfuscate their true lives, it’s clear from reading their interviews. I think they’re genuinely average middle aged parents from South Africa, and I think what Ninja said about their son making accusations was to try to get money from them is true. I really dig their crazy music and their videos are insane.

I remember the Vanity Fair article about Cruise where he was having a tantrum at a dinner somewhere and saying “even my own sister can’t get me a girlfriend”. The article goes on to say that Scientology procured him a girlfriend but later on basically fired her. I don’t think he understands human relationships.

I don’t think we’ll ever know. I have a feeling he actually wasn’t a pedophile at all, but just felt close to children because he had Peter Pan syndrome or something. He seemed very infantile to me is the only real sense I got of him. Strange person. But without question he did make some r really iconic music.
