Interesting guy. No, you're close to being right. Capitalism is really our major religion here in america. I'm also in Texas where they call Obama a Communist. People laugh at the old 50's anti-left propaganda films, but don't seen to notice the exact same thing in our media. And I find the official left here in America paltry. Jon Stewart and Michael Moore are popular. That tells you how sad the state of things are here Yes, you are correct, that's how it is in most places it seems. Selfish apathy. Nothing has changed since Henry Miller ripped into America and ran off to France. And I took two-three Spanish classes in school. I've been meaning to get around to it. I took a few Spanish classes. I didn't get past conjugation. But I still pick up a few things here and there.

Yes, Tolstoy is really quite something. Where I live it seems like there's a church on every street but not a mention of Tolstoy in any of them. The Communist Manifesto is a fun read. Much more fun than the thousands of anti-commie books out there. Ha, I would not say I've any touch of the wonders of human communication. It's really just a kind of American Jive that I've picked up. An unfortunate side effect of Capitalism. I was being ridiculous when I said I was a minor Trotskyite on skis with soul. No worries, my Spanish sucks and live close enough to Mexico to where it's embarrassing.

I'm a little offended that you mistook me for a Hilaryhead. That's not me. I'm more like a minor Trotskyite on skis with soul. Nice article. It is interesting. It recalls some of Fromm's better work. Thanks, I hope things are good for you too.

Eres la segunda persona que me expone la misma teoría de superación positiva en esta semana. Pero como escuches mucho más a GY!BE te vas a carcomer y no vas a salir del fondo ese que has tocado.

Ajá. Como dicen CocoRosie: "Destiny used to be just a word to me" haaaasta que te pasa "algo" De todas maneras es un tema complicado y no sé yo si mi coeficiente intelectual está a la altura de semejante conversación pajamentalística. No obstante (no soy religiosa) yo no le veo relación alguna con la religión, ¿por qué siempre lo relacionas?

Don't worry. Once our faces have melted off due to the thermonuclear winds. Once we have mutated completely beyond recognition Someone will pick up an electric guitar. The problem is, "they" seem to own all the electric guitars. Can't even count on Bruce Springsteen to sing The River to us without giving up $100

I think the Nobel Peace Prize should be renamed the Kissinger Facefuck. Put the Polish guy in a room with him for five minutes. Let's see what happens. They never gave the guy who called Dylan "Judas" an Oscar. James Cameron has a house full of nothing but Oscars.

I like most of those dudes too an extent. I think the Foo Fighters had some good singles. Queen too. I pretty much feel that way about Clapton in every form. I guess Cream was alright. And directors use Layla really well but all that pedestrian blues... I thought U2 was decent until Achtung Baby. I think that's when the sunglasses came out. It happens both ways, like an ugly girl with a sexy voice. Just think if Susan Boyle sang like PJ Harvey. I thought The Nightfly had a cool album cover. Thought the album was crap. I'm indifferent to most of Elephant 6. The Music Tapes are the only ones that piss me off. I liked how they used Oh My God in Kids.

Yeah, Dead Man is a good one. I liked a few Bon Jovi songs the first time I heard them. They soon became the worst things ever. I have to agree with you on Dream Theater. I tried to listen to them. I don't care how fast you can play guitar. At least Neil Young has a soul. John Mayer, David Gray and The Music Tapes I know it's cool to dislike some of these guys but I can't stand their music. I don't find anything in your charts appalling. I still listen to Pearl Jam.

Yeah, I like Dead Man. The fragmentation didn't bother me much, I think they got lazy with some of the dialogue and, yeah, it has some great moments but there's just something about it that prevents it from greatness. I'll have to check it out. George Clooney's involvement in stuff brings weariness. Great beard. I just saw him in Quills -beard. he was real good, bro.

I forgot about Bird. And Tender Mercies, but nobody gave a shit about that for some reason. I don't know if I would say Pump Up the Volume is about music either. It probably is music. Empire Records is filler but I never considered self-massage over Liv Tyler either. I was gonna say Giamatti can't really hold a (bad)movie by himself but that's just because I tried to watch Lady on the Water. American Splendor was nice. But he adds, even in The Illusionist. Hoffman would never be in anything bad, right? Can't remember D.Strathairn.

I really don't know what was going on in The Doors. Fuckin' Oliver Stone right? That shit might work on JFK but.... I'd keep High Fidelity and add Empire Records and Amadeus. Maybe even think about Pump Up the Volume.

I never picked that up from him. The reality probably isn't a match for the legend. I always thought The Doors were a pack of good musicians. If they weren't I'm sure people wouldn't like The End near as much. Admittedly, I like the Riders on the Storm lyrics.

I never felt that way about Post-Barrett Floyd. Hell, maybe a little but it seems there were worst offenders around at the same time. The Wall might qualify. I still like it though, I can't get through it. I guess you don't like the movie either? Just because Morrison had some bad lyrics doesn't make them pretentious. If Lou Reed called him an asshole, that's something though. I think Lou has gotta be one of the biggest ones out there but it's still all mostly hearsay isn't it? Yeah, I liked it. I put Daniel on some early mix tapes I still listen to.

So what was so pretentious about both of them? I'd definitely call Roger Waters self-obsessed but I don't know about pretentious.

I used to feel that way. And know a few people who still do. I like the eighties now. I've heard more about The Shaggs than I've actually listened to them. I heard Kurt Cobain was into them. I did like Plan 9 but I don't think I'd watch it again. That was a terrible video, but Roger Waters alone is pretty bad. I had one of his albums, couldn't get through it.

I'll probably check it out anyway. I've sat through a few movies like that lately. It is pretty hot. Too hot to take a smoke break sometimes. I've talked with someone from Spain before. They're thold me it was pretty fuckin' hot over there too. I never listened to The Shaggs in a serious manner. Are they actually any good?

That's what editing is for. :P That's how little I think of Sofia's. At least Tetro looked good. I never saw YWY. Any good? If you like Reggae, Jimmy Cliff has a lot of stuff that should be recognizable.

Yeah, I'm not usually into 80's Bruce but it's such a good performance. Jimmy Cliff is damn good stuff., but I only knew the stuff he did on The Harder They Come. They were both ok. To me her dad bettered her recently with Tetro. What does David Crosby have to do with anything?

Just like any other field I guess. I'm not sure what it was. I just know I found an album and Springsteen covering Jimmy Cliff is an intriging concept to me. I don't like Sofia Coppola either. Never saw Marie though.

I never really found either of them attractive. Johnny Rotten looks kinda cool, I guess. Yeah, I think he does. The We Are The World album had a good Springsteen and Prince song. Everything else is unlistenable, though. I like a few music critics. Writing about music may be like dancing about architecture, but you can still frame your emotional response or something, dude.

Yeah, it's some journalists who use their arbitrary, uncanny sense of musical justice to pick which bands and performers get in so they can make money. Johnny Rotten said "they want us to pay them $25,000 so they can tell us we're famous." Regardless, where else are you going to see Neil Young play with Led Zeppelin. I'm showing off my love for Journey.

The Rock and Roll hall of fame is a whole different kind of bullshit, I think. I did see Lou induct Leonard and Lou was pretty bad. Justin Timberlake isn't in the hall. He was probably also giving an induction speech. Leonard got in the same year as Madonna....

Definitely The Monkees. The Dave Clark Five, not so much. Apparently some guy from Rolling Stone magazine is keeping them out of the rock and roll hall. Never thought much of the hall but if Mr. Cohen can dig it.... Are you trying to say bullshit is bad?

Yeah, the yummy yummy yummy thing. They're still a good pop band in retrospect. bubblegum gets an unfair rap. I thought American Psycho was a great comedy. The book is preferable but Christian Bale did a good job as that Bateman dude which only added to the hilarity. What did you dislike?

I still listen to a lot of music from my youth actually. So it's kind of the same thing. I didn't yet have a taste for things so I was all for The Ohio Express as the best band ever. My dad got a bunch of vinyl at a garage sale or something and I tried to listen to Phil's stuff with Genesis. Bleh. Still I like that In the Air Tonight song and the American Psycho bit.
