It's not that I can't appreciate the little things, but - and take it as an exaggeration if you'd like - he seems like a husk of his former self. Not being able to tour without alcohol is indeed terrible, but having the limitations he has for many years now is just sad. Maybe you're a bottle half full kind of guy and appreciate the mere fact that he's at least still with us, and I do as well, but I always just had this idea in my head that in some years time he'll recover.Depends what you mean by fully recover. When he was "able" to play full tours he was self-medicating with alcohol due to anxiety issues. If he's gotten to a point where he can be comfortable with his balance of live performances and isn't having to hit the bottle to drown out his anxiety then surely that's a form of recovery?
Expecting a full recovery at all is a failure to understand what's wrong with Jesper. This is about managing his conditions in the best way, not curing them. If he's on the road to doing that then it's strange to me that this would make you sad.
No? I've found him amusing like you'd found an unavoidable catastrophe amusing, but I was never a fan. I don't even get non-US folks who are a fan of him, as we don't have AMERICA FUCK YEAH blood in our veins.You were a big Trump fan though from memory.

And lately, I actually have an acquintance of mine who is going through something similar. He could've died, which is terrible, but seeing him being only a fraction of what he used to be is kinda tragic.

On the other hand, have I been every single Qanon rally where we, I mean they expected JFK to come back from the dead? Maybe.
Do we know that? Or is he in such bad shape and binging afterwards that he couldn’t play more than one?If he's gotten to a point where he can be comfortable with his balance of live performances and isn't having to hit the bottle to drown out his anxiety then surely that's a form of recovery?

Nah it's totally okay to make fun of Biden. The dude can barely articulate full sentences and yet he's our president.I mean, it was hilarious that he won, and since I don't have a skin in the game, I wouldn't've wished otherwise. It was pure chaos and seemed like politics have to change. But it had nothing to do with ideology.
It was also okay to laugh at him, unlike with the demented man they have now.
Oh, please, don't kid yourself! Both sides utilize the same shitty tactics, but thanks to the many, many tribal followers of political parties or ideologies, they manage to create a bubble full of cognitive dissonance, where these people legit believe that only the left or the right wing uses it. It's the name of the game.Making assumptions, ignoring facts, answering question not asked, putting words in your mouth and claiming you said something you didn’t. Right wing is calling for you.
Yeah, but I wouldn't want to laugh at even a demented Hitler or Stalin either. Yeah, the first few clips of Biden having zero fucking idea where or who he is, is funny, but it quickly becomes sad, because you realize that no matter what you think if that person or what he has done, he is but a demented old man now. I could watch The Office, but watching Biden clips is just too much.Nah it's totally okay to make fun of Biden. The dude can barely articulate full sentences and yet he's our president.
In terms of songwriting? Back in the day, easily Jesper. Nowadays it's more tough.So, here’s the real question:
Who is better? Jesper? Or Bjorn?
TJR and Whoracle give songwriting credits for each song, and referring to them, the songs written with Bjorn are in major keys and a bit flowery melodies, while those written by Jesper alone are darker and more melancholic. (When Glenn was added there, it became Thrashy.)
Based on the characteristics of the melody, I guess a gradual increased in the percentage of Bjorn's input since Colony, and conversely a decreased Jesper's.
This is only a feature in IF and might not match the current sound written by Jesper.
I'd assume Clayman was more of a collaborative effort between the two. You'll probably hear elements of both Jesper's and Bjorn's respective songwriting on each song.That's what I've been feeling recently. A lot Clayman feels surprisingly like Bjorn to me now, while I only knew for sure that Pinball Map was his before.
