The love/hate thread.

[zabu of nΩd]

I hate the Dead because of what they stood for. same reason I hate the Beatles.

What the hell did the Grateful Dead and/or Beatles stand for? I thought they just made music (damn good music, btw).

the concept that peace solves everything. it doesn't.

 

[CF87]

Neither does violence or hatred.

Okay, I'll admit that the mentality of most Beatles songs gets on my nerves, but the Grateful Dead really weren't that political. Most of their stuff that I've heard is just good ol' fashioned bluesy folk rock.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

yeah, and I hate Led Zeppelin and the Beatles too!

Blumchen rules!

Whatever, you uncultured brute.

Blumchen rules!

How's about that badass cover of Queen's "Bicycle Race"?

I can't believe I know who Blumchen is. It's rather embarrassing, really.

Well, the Grateful Dead are famous for encouraging their fans to record their concerts and make bootlegs and shit, so you can't really call them sellouts. As for the Beatles, sure - seems like everything they did was watered-down and poppified just right for mass consumption.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

so I had my first day of training today at GNC, everything went fairly well

I am currently working 2 jobs and will likely quit my office job at work after next week.

I just picked up a heaping stack of (mostly) 70s prog/folk rock LPs.

ok. peace solves some things, violence solves others. it is up to humanity to decide where to apply which. that involves rational decision making. "peace and love maaaaaaaan" is a naive concept made up by braindead hippies.

I always saw it more as a logical response to rampant post-war individualism, the corporate slave-state and increasing alienation of people from each other due to both of these. They saw some of the wars as a consequence of these things, and rightly so.
