  1. Also, is Jörgen Dutch for sugar?
  2. Yep. You could have been Mitch to his Wooderson. Be a lot cooler if you did.
  3. Man, no kidding. I had the same thought. And it's only gotten worse the past 10-15 tears. I wonder if the pendulum will ever swing back towards pure, guitar-driven rock? You have young bands like Greta Van Fleet (and yeah, I know they sound like a Led Zep clone, but still) that at least give me some hope.
  4. Big Lebowski -- didn't hate it, was just underwhelmed. But I think I just wasn't paying attention that closely the first time. Now it's an all-timer for me and I can probably quote it as well or better than any other movie. Royal Tenenbaums -- again, didn't hate it, but because I loved Bottle Rocket and Rushmore so much, it felt like a let down. I still like the other two better, but RT is now a favorite.
  5. All those words and still no apology from King. He even acknowledges that the cop was a victim, but fails to recognize his role in victimizing the cop by publicly accusing him of rape before he had all the facts. I’ve considered every possible angle here — and every time I end up in the same place — it makes no sense why someone would throw their life away — and damage someone else’s — like she has done. He is arguably more responsible for that damage than she is. Had he not blasted this story out prematurely, no one would even know the cop's name. instead, he received death threats.
  6. In light of that I guess I'll have to go with Pearl Jam.
  7. Great question. Without doing a whole lot of thinking, Guns 'N Roses is the one that comes to mind. EDIT: According to Wikipedia they were formed in 1985. Dammit. I would've guessed 86.
  8. I haven't posted on this thread in awhile, but I found this article really interesting. I know it's a topic that's been covered before on this thread. Rolling Stone: Guitars Are Getting More Popular. So Why Do We Think They're Dying?
  9. King posted this on his FB page earlier... That's it. No apology for accusing someone of rape and blasting it all over the Internet.
  10. For anyone who's been following this case...TX DPS released the body cam footage overnight. She lied. Lawyer apologizes for falsely accusing trooper of rape Hours after her arrest, well-known civil rights activist Shaun King wrote on Facebook and Twitter, “This woman was kidnapped and raped by a Texas State Trooper.” King included a detailed explanation of the claims as explained by Cole and her attorney, Lee Merritt. King's posts accusing the state trooper of sexual assault were shared on social media nearly 80,000 times. They have since been deleted. This article, however, is still up: Shaun King: Will Sherita Dixon-Cole Get Justice? Way to wait for the facts to come out, dipshit. The trooper received death threats. But no apology from King thus far. Whatever credibility he had as an activist and "journalist" is done.
  11. Same, although my parents and grandparents are/were all from Kansas.
  12. I got Brent Cobb's previous album because of this thread and it was on heavy rotation for awhile. Looking forward to his new one.
  13. That is awesome. I saw Connor at Thundercloud a couple weeks ago. He is a big boy.
