The only reason Trump had the opportunity to have the impact he is having was the stupidity of people voting for him and then the politicians that have backed him for reasons only they can know. He is a symptom not a cause, so that being said, I agree we is a better alternative.

However, if Ed was diving deep and referring to all of Trump's hotels and real estate ventures, then perhaps the callout is justified.

I teally tlike that man fucked up because it is and has been and will always be each of us. I mean what is the environmental toll for creating anything from a album to skate board to glock it all has consequences. No doubt to widely different degrees. We as in man are all tilters.

This song (Retrograde) is really fucking awesome. That crescendo is as good as any other “epic” section they’ve done. If radio actually plays that entire section, people might love this song.

No. Stations survive due to “pity advertising” money. Just companies looking after an old friend, propping them up as a way of saying thank you for everything. As you do.

I can’t remember the last time I witnessed someone purposefully listen to a radio station either, though.

I assume the world perfectly mirrors my preferences and habits, which is why I was stunned when Lightning Bolt did not sweep the Grammys.

Rock radio? I can see sports/talk/Top 40 still being very relevant.

yeah, this is true. Every time i get engaged in some conversation like, RADIO AND TV DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING ANYMORE, i realized its basically a bunch of middle class dudes who are desperate to repeat anything they read on Instagram.

I enjoyed this video

and it's a funny coincidence (?) that Ed is The Sun Tarot card, because I've always heard that DOTC line as "not one man / can be greater than the sun"
