Re: "Secret Jewish history"?
Given I started it [cut and paste from expectingrain.com] might be best to just delete this thread, eh? Not actually e.c. informative or useful at all? Do others agree? Moderator? It's a really curious little oddity of an article about Elvis - I vote "let it stand". Well, it sure is that....

Re: "Secret Jewish history"?
eeeee. :| Glad i didn't keep reading. Just imagine someone doing that? My girl dumped me so therefore {????} i'm politically against actions of her people's country of origin and support a boycott? . . . so it must have been meant as a sort of joke? Just imagine someone thinking that is a good joke?...

Re: The Complete Armed Forces (Super Deluxe Edition)
For me, it may be that 'the times' make it hard for me to take any more "aggressive provocation." And, I think, those comics are not aggressively provocative. They are very limp and make the aggressive provocations of Armed Forces seem, well, limper. I dare say that I wish he or his design...

Re: The Complete Armed Forces (Super Deluxe Edition)
I find his own artwork garish and exaggerated and distorted and nightmarish enough to make the "point" about objectification without being objectifying. In fact, it is why I like his own visual work so much -- actually makes me feel queasy [word of the day!] about the male gaze in don't lo...

i am really tempted to cancel my clockface cd order, having already cancelled the vinyl order. this bustle of cd/lp/video not available crap is not my idea of a good time. figure it out, phone me when you're done. don't text. i don't have a cell phone. this used to be enjoyable when I could go to a ...

Re: A Face In The Crowd: new musical for 2020
I think that this is one of his best vocals ever, and a melody to match. And the background vocals near the end -- the melodies they are singing, and the sound...beautiful.
