do you ever think, there are some people who have statues made of them, and some who do not.

And within the first category, there are people who have statues made because they pay for them, and those people who artists make statues of due to their fame or accomplishments.

Within the second category, there are only losers. Think about what you're doing that makes people not want to make a statue of you, and change that.

So that you can be in the first category. (a winner.)

britney spears didn't pay to have that french dude make statues of her giving birth on an animal rug

there's losers in the first category too is what i'm saying

[theinevitable]

I am OK with any change in the theory which makes fewer winners and more losers.


Judy, have you heard this band Late of the Pier.
My best bud/roommate said "It is like hearing the Beatles for the first time."
I really like them also.
they are from the UK, is why I ask.
Their vocals are way too... dancy British band.
but everything else is so damn good.

suddenly I really like electro-ful dance music. it all clicked at once.

Inev, I think you have a roommate that likes to exaggerate.

So those that pay are winners and the ones who get the statue for free are losers?

[theinevitable]

*no, "the second category" refers to people who do not have statues of them. I will revise this language to make it more clear.

Inev, I think you have a roommate that likes to exaggerate.

No. He just loves electronic rock music. This band is basically everything he loves combined into one awesome band. He has been freaking out about them nonstop since their album came out (in the UK) 6 months ago.
I live with a strange man.

The Beatles are an anomaly.  I was thinking about this the other day.  Any music that was popular to one generation, no matter how good it may be is automatically considered crap by the next.  Case in point, The Eagles and Pink Floyd.  The Beatles however are almost universally loved by everyone no matter their age or race or culture.

Your friend falling in love with Late of the Pier is like a personal epiphany.  Listening to the Beatles is like smiling, it's a language that everyone understands.

What? 

WHAT!?!?!?

If you find some dumbass kid who doesn't like the Eagles *or* Pink Floyd, I suggest you beat that kid to a bloody pulp.  Beat the ever-loving crap out of him, until he is spitting blood and teeth, and humming "Hotel California" between sobs for mercy. 

I think I need some coffee or something.  Reducing my caffeine intake is not going so well today. 

[theinevitable]

I kind of can't stand the Eagles.

Pink Floyd are not my thing, but I can appreciate at least some of their stuff.

I think most people in my generation like Pink Floyd more than I do. Especially ones who were once teenage boys. Classic Rock radio is one of the few segments of the radio market that is -increasing- its market share of young people. At least, it was a few years ago when I read an article about this.

The Beatles however are almost universally loved by everyone no matter their age or race or culture.

I think this is a little strong.

Guess that means I'm in for a beating.  Can a proviso be included, at least, that a spitting-blood-and-teeth-level beating is only warranted if the victim actively dislikes the bands in question?  I have no strong feelings about either, so I think I should get to keep at least half my teeth.

[miles]

Yeah, I don't know anybody personally who likes the Eagles except for my Dad. I mean, The Dude doesn't like the Eagles.

Also, I like the Beatles, but I don't love them. And I don't think they are that universal. I know of a few critics, and even a few friends, who really don't care for them much.

[KeithHernandez]

Fuck the Eagles.

Yeah, OK.  I was a little harsh. 

Only people who actually would state, in public, with witnesses, that both the Floyd and the Eagles are crap would be subjected to the kicks-in-the-face-until-your-mama-don't-recognize-you treatment. 

And I really think now that the problem is not caffeine withdrawal.  I think the soul of Asherdan temporarily left his body, flew to the Southeast, and possessed my typing hands as I wrote that post. 

Wonder if he's still in there?  Could make this game review I'm writing pretty interesting...

[theinevitable]

for some reason that makes me want to hate them a lot more so that I would be OK with doing that.

[pmcd9]

Fuck the Eagles.

I almost got my ass kicked recently for saying those exact words when asked if I was going to see them in concert.  A friend of mine, well a friend of a friend really, a big mother fucker too was ready to wail on me JL style for not worshiping at the alter of the Eagles.

I'm not the biggest Eagles fan in the world, but I am a fan.  I've got several of their albums.  I think their harmonies are fantastic.  But I have no interest in paying $100 to sit in a basketball arena and watch a bunch of dinosaurs who haven't recorded together in decades, who kicked out one of the founding members over money, who are clearly only in it for the money.

Anyway, I managed to talk myself out of a beating, but yeah, fuck the Eagles.
