this is not life.
Im not self loathing.
I do what I want to when I want to.
i dont answer to anyone b/c Im fortunate enough to where I dont have to.
Im not saying im a great person or anything like that.
but I am who I want to be.

You know that Corgan line, "whatever I wanted to be, I already am"?
thats it.

ppl are not the ppl they want to be b/c they accept responsibilities in life that they do not want or never intended to.

my only responsibility is to myself.
enough about me. thats not the point of this thread.

im still convinced youre essentially an internet persona -- because youve admitted to being a skinny f*ck, and nobody with your stature could stand up for his beliefs without getting his ass beaten dozens of times

stand up for my beliefs?

what you think I am going to get my as* kicked while voting a straight Republican ticket?
not all that dangerous.

I believe in a smaller governement with less tax funded programs.
I believe in self responsibility.

not all that dangerous positions.

Pillow its tough to know when you are serious and when you are not.

but if you think lennon and the beatles can artistically compare to what Pearl Jam has been doing since the early 1990's, you are out of your mind.

maybe you should listen to Vs, Ten, and the latest album again.

Repent,
You love to stir the pot don't ya? I do agree that you can appreciate someone without 100% agreement...if I waited for that I'd never vote or listen to any music, watch any movies or TV...I like Frank Sinatra's music but couldn't stomach his politics, right now...I'll take Juliette and the Licks over any band out there and I don't even give a second thought to her religious affiliation when I watch her on stage...

Im sure there are country music singers with political beliefs that are somewhat similar to mine.

I dont care if they are the greatest ppl in the world.

oh Willie Nelson.

my father used to have a cd called The Highway Men or something.
had Williie and Cash and a few others I think.
never cared for it, but it was better than a lot of the stuff he listened to.

I don't know which is more absurd;

that Lennon and The Beatles do not compare to Pearl Jam

or that

a person that believes in smaller government would vote for Republicans.

you obviously were not around on the thoroughbredtimes forum.
Im more than familar with the beatles and their socially destructive propaganda.

and no Im not going to listen to that crap ever again.
heard it when I was a child and it p*ssed me off.

Can I assume you're not a fan of the Sex Pistols either?

lol,
never listened to them.
Im kind of selective when it comes to music.
a smart man once told me there are 2 things in this world to be particular about-
music and women.

that was good advice.

To be honest, I never cared for them myself...but I loved Wendy O Williams and the Plasmatics!

I never found the Beatles to be socially destructive, but then again, i'm not a crazy idiot, so maybe that's why. I find unwarranted hate, and hate speech to be socially destructive, but hey, that's just me.

I'm not sure there are many musicians who have had a notable social impact...certainly Bono belongs on any list and perhaps Paul Simon.

isnt Paul Simon that Nickelodeon dude?
sang some song about a guy and his daughter I think.

O'Reilly likes Bono.
I personally do not. he is all about humanatarian crap.
thats fine, I just dont like the way he tries to make others who dont give a damn feel guilty about not helping some starving aids kid in Africa.

Bono is on my "hero list"...U2 is a great band regardless of their social contributions but Bono and The Edge have done a lot...and Bono, unlike many folks, has learned to "play the game" and has raised unparalleled amounts of money!

[repent]

checked your hero list Somer.
Bono was not there, but it was only a list of 5.

Im not saying he is bad.
He does a lot of good for the causes he believes in.
just dont see why he tries to make the rest of us feel guilty.
some of us just dont care about others.

Repent

He appeals to people's conscience...those that lack one shouldn't really care one way or the other! Yeah, he's on my list but not top 5...then again, he's not done yet so he may well end up higher!

Ahhh, you offer such wonderful seasonal sentiments. A true inspiration.

btw, nice avatar change. A hero of yours I'm guessing?

Ed Norton is not a hero.
A good actor for sure, but not a hero.
I just thought the pic looked cool.

Oh, and aside from the Pearl Jam quote being very ironic considering his thoughts, the avatar is the icing on the cake. The whole point of American history X was that Derek, or whatever his name was realized how wrong his way of thinking was. Repent must have missed that whole other half of the movie.

I believe the song Rearviewmirror is about escaping an abusive father.
