I love that you have CDs though.

Those books are wild.

Grunge is so dull. I am all for generations developing their own style of music without question but I can't believe we turned away from 80s music to THAT. I thought Nirvana was mediocre as can be. Love Mechanical Animals, but like all of his albums to some degree. I'm glad he's gotten back on his feet in life and got sober and lost the weight.

Die Antwoord, what Tokkie is saying just sounds so outlandishly fake. I don't think they're great people but I actually think they care a lot about their kids.

I did focus groups and surveys for money. I often would just stock up on toiletries from Amazon when I had gift cards. That shit is expensive so it lets my grocery budget breathe.

I do too. I pretty much hated all music made in the 90s; I think grunge is awful and so is NIN, but I felt like Manson was a natural extension of what bands like WASP and Motley Crue were doing but reinvented for that generation, and it's really good. I like music that has some concept and theater to it. I still listen to him.

I also like Die Antwoord; I think the accusations by their adopted son are total bullshit. I'm not saying they're good people and I do think they're homophobic, but also a lot of their image is obviously artificial and they obfuscate their true lives, it's clear from reading their interviews. I think they're genuinely average middle aged parents from South Africa, and I think what Ninja said about their son making accusations was to try to get money from them is true. I really dig their crazy music and their videos are insane.

I remember the Vanity Fair article about Cruise where he was having a tantrum at a dinner somewhere and saying "even my own sister can't get me a girlfriend". The article goes on to say that Scientology procured him a girlfriend but later on basically fired her. I don't think he understands human relationships.

I don't think we'll ever know. I have a feeling he actually wasn't a pedophile at all, but just felt close to children because he had Peter Pan syndrome or something. He seemed very infantile to me is the only real sense I got of him. Strange person. But without question he did make some r really iconic music.

Fair. I wish the art people made wasn't tainted by their behaviour.

Like I have a soft spot for Vince Neil even though he killed people drunk driving, because of how his poor little daughter died and how badly it's affected him. I can't help it.

I love Manson's music and I always enjoy hearing him interviewed. I struggle with that too.

 

It's something I struggle with. Some bad news comes out about some public persona doing something shitty and they get cancelled. But sometimes I really struggle with giving up the things they've made because I like them. There are also occasions where the person has been accused of something and it doesn't seem true to me, or I think they're genuinely sorry and have been punished enough, and the context isn't being considered.

What do you think? Who do you feel conflicted about enjoying?

 
 

I know this question is odd, but unfortunately we have a lot of unhoused addicted people in my city. I often see them sitting on a bench bent at the waist in half like a rag doll, or standing somewhere half bent over, like stooped over nodding out I guess? I don't really know anything about substance use, but it's such a strange sight, what substances cause them to bend over like this?

Poor souls. The mayors of big cities here have asked the provincial government to declare a state of emergency due to homelessness and addiction being so rampant, but Doug Ford doesn't give a shit about them.

 
 

Isn't unchecked capitalism just delightful?
