    You've just become exceedingly wealthy...

    People say that stuff, in reality the math is clear the vast majority wouldn't actually do what they're saying. It just feels nice to say. I don't mean the people talking about giving money to their kids, when they're already in their 70s. But the people claiming they'll give it away in...

    NHL Season 2023-24

    I'm gonna stop watching hockey entirely if the final is Dallas/Florida. Hockey has become a joke of a sport if the only teams winning are places where they literally don't get snow. Hockey is a perfect sport for the winter blues, and yet it's a sport when the winning teams are places where...

    You've just become exceedingly wealthy...

    Being given the specific number of $33 billion I'm gonna revise my thing. Would basically live the life I live now, only I'd charter a few jets to take me and almost all of my family over to Italy/France for a few weeks a year.

    Is it safe to say country has become a shot of adrenaline for rock?

    A) I literally just said I'm writing an album few people will ever hear, you can film your boots with being a bedroom band. B) Correct which means for all intents and purposes it's a dead genre. It's like Latin you can study the language endlessly if you can't speak it because no one does...

    Is it safe to say country has become a shot of adrenaline for rock?

    Guy made it big from a video recorded on his phone, while on tour(navy) in the Persian Gulf. Not sure how you can call that "machine generator" or anything less than totally authentic. Shot of adrenaline means bringing a dead corpse back to life. Guy will be compared to Bruce Springsteen...

    Is it safe to say country has become a shot of adrenaline for rock?

    You're not saying anything new. In 2001 as a high school student I had the ability to record a full album. Anyone that has the desire to write an album can make an album. There's endless albums no one will ever ever listen to. Don't get me wrong, I'm actively writing so I can make an album...

    You've just become exceedingly wealthy...

    It's called being middle aged with a hobby that is "relatively" low cost. I'm sure the vast majority of us want to be healthier, younger, more disciplined, and have the best family life possible.

    Is this huge giveaway of Gibson guitars a scam?

    If this wasn't an obvious scam to you, I would forcefully recommend you never put any of your information on your computer including your age/DOB etc. Again if that wasn't an obvious you're very very vulnerable. I'm only 37 and I won't online shop, my wife who seems to know what she's doing...

    Hearing loss from viral infection - a cautionary tale

    I feel you I'm lucky I still have most of my hearing, I'm 37. But, I had something similar when I was 15-16. It's uncertain if it's what caused me to lose a bunch of hearing, or that's just when I noticed it. I basically couldn't hear well for a few months. My tubes were blocked, and all I can...

    Is it safe to say country has become a shot of adrenaline for rock?

    Rock already has stagnated, that's sort of the point, you can't do something new if you don't do nothing at all. Of course you offer your fans something more and new, but that's after you've offered the basics. Country as a genre focused on the basics and didn't lose it, while rock didn't know...

    Is it safe to say country has become a shot of adrenaline for rock?

    Right versus "why don't we have an audience, people must clearly only be interested in rap" Rock has become guys who complain they can't make a living, while refusing to do their actual job. There's some wild idea that the next band has to find some new magical frontier, to justify mass...

    Is it safe to say country has become a shot of adrenaline for rock?

    What gets me is the rock cliche of being dark and mysterious. Like being a pseudo vampire is still cool for grown adults. Morrison was a rich kid drunk, who acted like hating authority was saving the world. Guy couldn't cut it as a mall cop and we're suppose to take the guy seriously when he...

    Is it safe to say country has become a shot of adrenaline for rock?

    The fake southern accent is just absurd, am I pretending to be a folksy black man when I'm playing something written by muddy waters? It's a style of singing, if anything the most egregious ones are the guys underselling the accent. An over the top country accent is expected in country, what's...

    Is it safe to say country has become a shot of adrenaline for rock?

    After 60 years of rebellion, being rebellious is no longer being a rebel, it's conforming. The most rebellious thing you can do is write an album for grandmas. I think this is why the movement is different than people might think. A large portion of this is about actually coming together with...

    You've just become exceedingly wealthy...

    I did this a few months back. I spent most of a day figuring things out. It was wild because it really actually helped me sort out my life. If it was 100s of billions, space yacht 10s of billions it'd be a hockey league or at least several NHL hockey teams(all in Eastern Canada). After that...
