Should I start on the bon jovi, poison…oh yeah, according to a certain brainiac this is when & where I should ignore jaron <img> <img>
I think people do get some insight into things when they read what others have written about themselves, hopefully something good comes out of the release of his private thoughts/feelings. I just feel that the voyeuristic will miss the point & minimize the guys life down to his addiction & pain. I think that was a really big issue for Kurdt, people misinterpreting his lyrics, music, life…like I said, hope something good comes out of it. I still won’t be reading them, but Hey! <img>

Hey!! OK, the Malibu album was like skidding offcourse but Courtney Love’s lyrics are usually pretty poignant. Hey Rosa, that photo is like… Wow…"Baby Kurt" !!! I hope Frances Bean follows in her parent’s footsteps… (musically, I mean.)
Ok, consider this for horror: Republicans now control the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. So much for checks and balances, huh? Does this make anyone else nervous? (And I’m not even a ‘liberal’).
this is indeed horrific TRSH. sad, bad news for the small farmer. all the hard work by the dems that went into the farm bill is now gonna go down the shitter….
yeah, I agree, rab, this is a hard deal with the uniparty deal. I have had a chance to become inundated with diehard Dems and Reps this year with my Poli Sci Club and also got to see our U.S. reps candidates debate. All the while, I am thinking, "Green, Libertarian, Independence" or any fresh voices or, better yet, independant thinkers with the ability to lead and think beyond a plank.
Alas, the competitive drive in the U.S.A. wants winners and losers, not neccesarily solutions or more options. Our traditional parties know that and pass laws to keep it that way. I have to give it up to the G.O.P. for their unity and sense of thinking about where they want to head. The Dems or the thirds do not have that leadership at present. Say what you will about Bush, but he is creating a legacy and I wouldn’t be suprised to see him go two full terms if not shot or ran out over a failed Iraq mission. Damn shame to see Mondale lose, though, I grew up on Carter as a tyke and Mondale as everyone’s kind uncle…. a nice career though he had.
…I feel for Frances Bean, and not just becasue she has to put up with courtney on a daily basis. I fear she is being used as a pawn and it saddens me. The fact that Kurt was evil to courtney in his recently released words and that courtney still let them out makes her need for money look greater than her need to be seen as she sees herself daily in the mirror she carries around next to the space her soul used to reside.
That was probably a run-on and an evil one at that. I don’t know why I hate her so much? The jist of the re-release controversy to me seemed to be that the Nirvana guys wanted a box set and she wanted a single cd, being that single cd greatest hits albums are and will always fly off the shelves faster than a box set, which tends to be more represenitive of a band as a whole.
Nirvana will always be a part of music. Courtney has her lifetime and then she’ll be gone, if not sooner.
i dont agree with all this journals stuff at all maybe releasing some hand written lyrics peoms art work but his journals i think thats shit i making damn sure i stay out the way of it all , anyway just my opinion i guess everyone can decide for themselves
Warren, Pa? I’ve actually been there quite a few times, nice to see ya on the board likeaghost.
I think you hit right on the head Half-Man, GOP "issues" are insane or inane. The only thing the dems could come up with was, "well, things were alot better under Clinton." which noone wants to hear anyway. First election in Virginia was the flipside of all Pittsburgh votes–all GOP candidates as opposed to vice versa. Parties seem to be becoming regional or class things more and more. Very scary. Sprawl tax failed here too, which would have generated billions to decrease my hour and a half (each way) commute to work every day. Virginia is out to get me <img>

Canada, maybe I should say Soviet Canuckistan <img> pat buchanan’s latest label for Canada, although I think he swiped it from a canadian white supremist…hmmm what could that mean;)

…Republicans are evil. That statement can’t be argued. These next two years could be trouble. The only light at the end of the tunnel is that the economy will be so horrible by the end of their reign that Dubya will again follow his father’s footsteps and be one and done. But are the Democrats much better :confused:. The problem seems to be that if you want to be in a position of power, specifically a politician, you have some sort of evilness pushing you along your road to domination. Good people aren’t politicians, and if they were, they certainly aren’t after election day. The real losers in the resent election are the trees that rest peacefully in our forests and the animals that live atop what might or might not be deposits of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. I guess anyone that wanted world peace as well, but that was lost along time ago.
sometimes I wish I wasn’t just like a ghost…
I totally agree about good people not being politicians. It takes a certain personality type to want that sort of job, and the people that have it are probably not people you would want to hang around. Same goes for the guys (and women) who run big business firms. You have to be some sort of sociopath to do that stuff successfully. So why is anyone surprised when shit like Enron happens? Well, maybe they aren’t. I sure wasn’t.
Like Nick Cave sings, "People, they just ain’t no good."
Really, rab, I am not trying to piss with you over this, but isn’t that view just a wee bit polarizing? Yeah, I have had my time with all cops suck and refused to have anything to do with politics or corporations for that matter. Sure, I would agree most large corporations are corrupt, exploitative, and dedicated directly, or indiscriminately to keeping a wide valley between the classes. Politicians run permanant campaigns, where all of their moves are centered around re-election, included pork-barrell appropriations.
However, we are talking about people here, where ideals aren’t always made of the rubber hitting the road. Perhaps, they are made by Firestone, this would not suprise me either. I sincerely hope there are some folks out there who still believe in whatever virtue our flawed system occasionally delivers. If no one has the slightest bit of faith, what is going to seperate us from assuming a dictatorship or monarchy? Things seem bad with the current concentration of power, but history shows the cycle change and hopefully, at some point, we as citizens will be given more options in which to voice ourselves, rather than being forced to protest vote all the time over the lesser fop.
I might address corporations later, but I mostly agree. Only problem I have is government action that prevents private citizens from performing tasks that the government has to right to sequester, such as with child support enforcement.
