Maybe, one cannot be completely straight if one wants to appreciate good music. Yes. It's good to be bent. If one is bent in the right direction.

Music is completely subjective to the listener's preference. That said, I find: Pink Floyd; U2; Red Hot Chilli Peppers; and The Police the most overrated. One artist that really shaped the world but really didn't do it himself was Elvis (Presley, not Costello) who, like later in the 1980's Stock, Aitken and Waterman era of endless "creation" of people to perform their hits, just performed other people's music. I think Eminem uses a lyric along the lines of "being the first white man since Elvis Presley to use black music to make him wealthy." Current excellent and popular lyricists and songwriters, like the aging Eminem above, include Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Adele, and Lady GaGa - whose music doesn't necessarily appeal to me - but at least they write and perform their own stuff. Albeit for a generation (or more) below me. And it resonates with a wider crowd. The four bands I listed at the head of this diatribe just never did it for me even though their following was huge in comparison to say REM, The Cure, Joy Division, and Crowded House. Which I also don't rate. But, hey! I like 1970s British rock, and the saccharine of the fifties and the sixties.

Trump is so close to death that it is not worth killing him. They should ask Putin for the videos he has.

Not the first time I've posted this - what this evil blight has done is expose the weaknesses in the US system of democracy. Let them rape the country, it won't be fatal. When responsible adults assume the helm once again, they can fix it and make things fair for one and all. Hope springs eternal, yes?

The world is going mad. Today, just looking or staring at somebody can get you harshly thrashed or worse, Better maybe to refrain from making useless comments to strangers or staring at them. Condoleances for the tragedy.

Who cares if Trump makes money or not. The reason the people in America and the world are getting more and more angry with Trump is that his choices are increasing prices all over as much is connected to the basic price of oil or to ongoing wars that are not stopped. America has always been a puppet of Israel in supporting their actions. But Trump seems to openly beat all those before him in office.

Post "The man that stabbed a woman on a bus" and people mightn't know what you're talking about. Post "The black man that stabbed a white woman on a bus" and they will likely remember as the video was everywhere, he was very very black, and she was very very white. They're called descriptive adjectives that build recognition of an event in the reader. Some people see racism everywhere. Perhaps I should have said 'The person that stabbed a person on a bus' because stating the gender of the male attacker and the female victim is a gender crime. 🙄
