Good grief, he really sounded awful back then, didn't he?
I didn't see him until after he climbed on the wagon...but he sounded completely different by that time. For one thing, he could sing on key...actually, by the time I saw him, he'd proven to have an extremely good voice (at least when he wanted to).
Very educational, for me at least.
LOL yes, I actualy found one where hw sounded so BAD and looked so strung out I didnt even post it, saw him live as well in the 80's and by then he had straightened up some, best concert Ive ever been to to this day. <3 Alice! His outfit in this clip intrigued me lol

I actually didn't know that anyone was still manually blacksmithing (maybe semi-manual, or manual-assisted?)...except for those few fanatics/purists/hobbyists you find at renn fests. Is this a full-time job (I'd assume so, given that piece of machinery), or more of a hobby, @Lann?
Either way, it's a fascinating glimpse at an activity I am/was completely clueless about.

Oh. My. God.
I just threw up in my mouth...
Urban cowboy gangsta wannabees...could it get any more repulsive?

Gee, I wonder if any nuts will try to use this as a platform to promote their favorite conspiracy theory, regardless of whether or not there's any logical connection or comparison...
Sorry for having a different opinion, BoneRemake and Shepppard, but I really don't see how I pissed in your Wheaties. Leave the personal attacks at home, dudes.
Of course the driver screwed up, I thought that was so obvious I didn't need to even comment on it.
Shit happens, and any parent worth the name wants their children to have at least a clue. If the kid had known how to get help, i.e. knock on a door and ask someone to call the cops, he wouldn't have been so frantic. Five is plenty old enough to know how to ask for the police. That gives you all sorts of better results in a situation like this, doesn't it? First, the kid doesn't have to stand around crying for hours. Second, the cops will bring him home, or call mom to pick him up at the police station. Third, you have an official record of the incident to back up any legal action that might be taken. Fourth, you don't have the kid standing outside for hours in an area he doesn't know and isn't known, where he really -could- be at risk.
So in closing, piss off.
hey you have a real fucked up deluded sense of how children think, I hope for the worlds sake you dont have little kin soldiers who are five and know how to battle dress a wound or capture game at seven. hell by four they should know how to recognize block parent signs and run for help whence a molester comes.
i too have walked away from opportunity if it meant stepping on anothers face to make some cash.
i turned down an offer to work for merk as a pharma rep.huge money but fuck that.
not worth it in my opinion.
and i also see your point...i feel it is all related and not in a good way.
till next time.
namaste.
let me clarify:
the institution of prisons in america being run by private corporations seeks only to get bigger,which means more funding and hence..more inmates.this will lead to incarcerations based on laws lobbied by the prison system which will translate to more jailable offenses.
this will not bode well for american society,nor for someone who finds themselves facing longer and longer prison terms.
on the other hand it will create more and more fairly decent jobs.the infrastructure that supports these institutions is massive.from the janitors to food service,linens,landscaping etc etc.
now if we decrease the sentencing of non-violent offenders i.e:pot smokers,shoplifting,driving under a suspended license etc etc.we may reduce the prison population but we create the new problem of unemployment.and there are communities (especially in texas,florida and alabama) who are totally reliant on these federal prisons.lose a prison and the community is basically wiped out.
so while i find the prison industrial complex reprehensible in its efforts to fill its cells by way of lobbying legislature to enact stricter laws,how do you take away a families ability to pay its bills?
see what im saying?
no easy answer.
I don't see a dilemma here. What you describe is the reason it will be hard or impossible to change this abomination of a system (as long as we have legal bribery for those running this country), but it's not a dilemma.
>> ^enoch:
if we legalize weed and change it from a type A narcotic to a mush lesser class we would effectively diminish the prison population on a massive scale.this means lost revenue for corporate run prisons and means major unemployment which could devastate entire communities.
this is the dilemma and to me it is a moral one but there is no easy answer.
is that not the very definition of dilemma?
would there be a better word used to describe the situation?
in either case i agree with your sentiment.
I hate to be snarky (well, not really, but I -am- trying not to be so, in this case)...but what talent, skill, or ability is this supposed to be demonstrating?
Hehe, I think you're on point. The actual purpose is the fact that it does not actually require any talent whatsoever. This sort of thing is punk taken to the furthest sci-fi extent of anti-music there is and that is just exactly the point for better or worse.

And what, pray tell, is this "conspiracy" supposed to achieve?
