from what I have seen, a lot of little boys who play well with girls - that is play the way girls would play - do grow up to be gay

not all, not even the majority, but quite a few

and in this case it was just unusual to see several boys like that in the same place all at once

Ok well I will take that on board, but from what I have seen means about as much to me, as from how many beans I got for the cow I sold, before I climbed the magic beanstalk. Anecdote is not my thing, I am sure you have seen what you have seen, but as someone who has seen what I have seen, and I mean no offence by this, I don't care not even a little.

Don't please take that the wrong way, but a lot of little boys you have seen is about as meaningful as a mushroom in a dark room. It's just darkness.

Spent my whole life listening to bloke down pub said... ah must be true! Not sure I have much time for person on forum said, must be true. And please don't take that the wrong way.

I once kept hearing a story about how one of my friends friends, could balance a spoon vertical to his nose, perfectly and for some time, so thinking, well that sounds interesting when I met the guy I asked him to do it, could he do it could he f$%^.

Ok Kiddies, this set comes with a drug warning.... JUST SAY NO! (or at least don't tell your parents K?)

Gertrude Michael - Marahuana 1934 (Marijuana)

Trixie Smith - Jack, I'm Mellow (1938) (This one comes with a vid clip!)

But then something happened... Those kiddies from the 30s became parents and decided that there was a Terrible Truth out there....

1960S ANTI DRUGS PROPAGANDA

These lessons from parents didn't last though and by the mid to late 80s... I enter the scene and Illegal rave parties had sprung up in abandoned warehouses along the dock front in Melbourne... and designer drugs were offering some pretty designer highs... They say, if you can remember your Uni days... you should have paid a nerd to pass your degree

And here we are in the now days and drugs and music are still with us

So kiddies let this be a lesson to you... Music leads to drugs. Therefore Music is bad. And when someone offers you a CD/MP3... JUST SAY NO!

Soundgarden: Black Hole Sun.

There are a lot of vacuous, self involved hypocrites in this world, who are claiming to feed the lambs, who are being the body beautiful, but having nothing else but a shallow shell and thus are ugly, worshipping TV like it is a God. That said thank God there is a band that wants a black hole sun to get rid of them, the rain to wash away the p/rain, and let's praise children who burn their Barbie dolls on barbeques, and those chubby kids who dance despite the views of superfluous plebs, because I do too want to rid humanity of the liars and the frauds, the haters, and the idiots who make life a chore, for no other reason than their own worthless vanity, and so should anyone.

If not my favorite band, very close to being the one. I actually prefer the Joe Lynn Turner era, but the others were good as well:

Kids without guns, perhaps an antedote.

Freak on a Leash: Korn. It's a lovely tale, worth watching for the slow motion effects alone.

Nobody does it better:

Incidentally a lot of bands site this as one of there favorite songs of all time, even hard rocking metalsmiths. It's kind of odd, but there is I guess nobody does it better Carly and that it is the spy who loved you from elsewhere... I have to say she's singing that live from Martha's Vineyard, and whether you like the song or not, perhaps one of the best live performers I have ever heard. Ironically she doesn't do much live performances being so shy irl, and I mean shy as in does not like the limelight, on stage, or being amongst crowds, and hence reclusive, but when she does...

Always puzzles me why you get covers of this to this day, and from artists you'd think weren't really into that sort of thing... still music is one of those things.

Depeche Mode, reach out and touch faith, perhaps your own personal Jesus would know, I hadn't heard of Depeche mode in years when they released this but it spoke to me, like a er personal Jesus, if you hate it you hate Jesus, well your own personal one anyway...

I don't have a band...yet, but you can add me to the list. There's something about the opening credits sequences and theme songs of many James Bond movies...nobody does them better.

I was introduced by a friend to Minimalism and the work of Phillip Glass with this piece. It was love at first listening. At 2:01 it was musical orgasm.

Most of the time, Japanese musician Kitaro has been soporipherous. But somehow in 1980 he managed to join the London Symphony Orchestra and gave to some of his pieces a little classical instrumentation. A couple of gems like this one was the result:

Just some songs I like atm.

I does like me some Macklemore, thrift shop was genius. He's saying what we are all thinking, well some of us, which is enough.

It keeps me warm anyway, love may well conquer hate one day, but you can be damn sure dundermentalist Christians will have had any thing to do with it, any more than they have anything to do with Christ's message for that matter. Judge not, lest you be judged, what do you think that meant... you have the right to, to preach hate across the mediums, in your heart. Or that you don't and people will all be judged by your God, so you don't have to, all you have to do is accept it... if you follow your faith of course. Pipe down then you tard.

I can't change either, even if I wanted to, but I have the good fortune of being able to love someone who isn't considered wrong by some idiots. It's and odd day an age when religion is more about war than love, and those who do love whomever are called sinners, and these so called Christians have little time for chastising war mongers and all the real evil in the world. Did you ever read the Bible or is it just something you use as a door stop, there are more important sins, even if they aren't really if you are honest.

No freedom until all men have the inalienable right to be equal regardless of religion, sexuality, sex, age, race or even musical preference, yes even those who like Justin Bieber have the right to. I find that hard to say, but it's true, even if his music is kinda boring and overproduced.

Vesuvius, that fateful fay, quite apt I think, probably relevant to the above too, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all, since that day, and the smoke rolled across their eyes killing them instantly, and blackening their bodies and charring them to a corpse before they even had time to run; perhaps our souls have seen that eruption now, perhaps we should run from it? Who knows but if you close your eyes does it hide the blackness that you see...

I like this song it could be it's uplifting, the underdog wins, it could be lot of women running around in tight shorts/skirts, it could be anything but I think I need a miracle:

I like this too, he's never changing who he is, and who can blame him, he had something something, talent, and now a multi-million dollar record deal, well don't go changing then. One must assume he lost the need for the academy, their drivel, and made it anyway, presumably they can kiss his chuddies...
