Charlie Kirk shot at (shot?) in Utah

I listen to prog rock
Ooookay. Had to look it up.
“Progressive rock stars” returned a short list of what I’d call Classic Rock with Pink Floyd at the top.
It suggested “modern prog” and listed four I never heard of. Pineapple Thief sounds vaguely familiar, but Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree … most sound like random words.
Are you listening to mod prog or classic?
Both. Steven Wilson / Porcupine Tree is stellar contemporary work. Pineapple Thief involves Porcupine Tree's heavier music drummer Gavin Harrison who toured and what was the art director for the last tour or two of King Crimson.
 
Of the three sins listed, WHY would 'marrying outside one's race' be considered sinful? Because I kind of get the other ones even though I don't agree with sin as a concept.

You could have someone who thinks races should be kept pure without thinking one is better than another. We see it in animal breeding. But even if it were a good idea that ship sailed long ago.
That’s not very accurate. First of all, people are not animals nor kept for breeding. This includes black people, who, in slavery were treated livestock and bred to maintain or increase supply.

Secondly, most animal breeders are indeed people who consider some breeds better than others , especially for their purposes. Within the breed, individuals are selected specifically for certain characteristics, with the desire to strengthen or compliment certain traits and to ‘breed out’ other characteristics.

Finally, the concept of race is a human invention, a construct invented to rank groups of people by the most easily discernible characteristics.

Looks like a lot of the same old guys, most I’ve seen in their former incarnations.
I’m curious now … I don’t listen to music as a habit any more, unless I’m playing it or playing with it.

Ooh, you're missing out, Porcupine Tree rocked the very heavens. If you liked Pink Floyd's weirder stuff, you'll get them too.

I prescribe audio therapy. Put on a good pair of headphones, imbibe some legal substances, and listen to this whole track from end to end. You'll thank me later.

And Porcupine Tree has three eras, space prog, short track prog, heavy prog. Also it is "prog", Wilson wasn't big on the prog label. His latest album us very good and he had a trilogy of albums that went from epic to even more epic.

PT is one of the only bands that has almost no songs that I don't really really like (Don't Hate Me, Not Beautiful Anymore).

Wilson is new-ish. He is also remastering most of the older classics into DTS and now Atmos. Done some 80s stuff, Collins, Tears for Fears as well. Wilson is Gen Z's Alan Parsons engineering wise. Wilson's music a ton more ambitious than Parsons.
 
Tears for Fears has done some of my all time favs.
I tend not to have favorite artists recently, just favorite pieces, most of them old.
 
Wanna listen to something that will make you feel depressed? Charlie Kirk "tribute" songs (most of which call for explicit, bloody revenge) are becoming a popular little subgenre in the Gospel and Country worlds. Like Charlie Kirk hinself, they cry out for a more peaceful world and a lessening of thr temperature, with threat and provocation as their primary strategy for getting there.


“And we ain’t backin’ off or givin’ up, I’ll preach what you taught me/They may have killed a soldier, but that man had an army/This is far more deep than some political parties/And you can’t kill freedom, so this one is for Charlie.”

The "army" is just a metaphor for a devoted fanbase that lies in the daisies and eats vegan mayonaise and I'm a woke asshole for taking him any other way, I'm sure. :rolleyes:

Not surprising. He's been made a martyr. His followers will probably become extreme than Kirk, but will lack his charisma (hopefully).

Tears for Fears is my "seed" for any streaming music app when there are lots of people around. It pretty much always produces a random set of things everyone enjoys listening to, even if it's not their absolute favorite.

When it's just me and my dad, we rock the motown. When it's my mom and spouse, they rock the dubstep and edm. All by myself I rock the classical and bagpipes...

I'm right at the verge of losing patience with EVERYONE. Can I just send all of these people to their rooms without supper, maybe ground them from the internet for six months?

Technically, he was the guy that said people like you should choose not to be in the workforce. So the whole "both sides" thing, that is a crock.
 
Dude, I go way back with Emily Post and was one of the ones to independently know her original banned identity when she came back as Emily Post.
:cautious: Why you changing my name?
Now now, my fair lady.
Perhaps professor Higgins' autocarrot is better at pop culture than iidb members.
