The good news is that my boss is out of the office today. I'm not doing any work and I brought my dog in.

I can somewhat handle it by putting earphones in, but how is my dog going to handle this?

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Did I ever tell y’all about the time the keyboardist for BNL wanted to LET Ali give him a blowjob in the late 90s.
She laughed in his face.
She was a fan, but come on. You’re a Canadian rock star, not a real one.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
How about I let you S the D, eh?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Ew. Why would he even think a goddess like Ali would be interested?

That's definitely part of it - same with the Dead. He really is painfully generic.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I'm not sure who I dislike more: DMB or Phish. I pretty much hate every jam band...but some are definitely more annoying than others. Dave Matthews just seems like music for people who want to like music, but really don't. He's so generic and harmless that people can embrace him without having to really commit to anything. Heck, he even makes Phish look somewhat edgy.JennyB wrote: ↑11 May 2018, 12:47pmThat's definitely part of it - same with the Dead. He really is painfully generic.
