Fuck, my day is ruined.....
Da man is gone... one of the greatest entertainers in the world and quite possibly the happiest man who ever lived....
He was 96.
Daylight come...and he's gone home.....

Love that song.
if only Trump sang, we could sing a song or two and he'd die. :D
I would NEVER want to associate that work of sheer funky genius by the fairly recently late Gregory Edward Jacobs, AKA Shock G and the legendary Digital Underground, local heroes, with that slimy piece of disgusting orange scum.
Good point.
And long live the NWA. :D
(and you were right about that guy you warned me about. Loose screws all around. =P)
NWA's first album's production was pretty rough, but it served the material well in a way.
Fuck Tha Police was certainly a sentiment I could relate to, and the line "Srawberry Strawberry is good to go" in Dopeman Dopeman always slayed me for some reason. There were a number of other great songs on that album, and all of the sampling was genius.
And yeah, that dude's clearly a complete moron, and all the sadder because he's so fuckin loud and self-righteous about it. And he claims to be "Fair and non partisan". Sheesh.
The first person there that replied to you, then immediately blocked you is doing exactly what he ALWAYS does. Spouting absolutely unsubstantiatable malarkey and then blocking. Don't be surprised if he doesn't continue to snipe at you from behind that block, as he did to me literally dozens of times before he, despite repeated warnings from me that he was violating the COC, took it to my page, where I finally had enough of it, and apprised the admins of his repeated violations of the COC, earning him a warning, which he immediately complained about on his page in a journal, which said "Fuck you" to the admins, essentially a violation of the COC as well. -Whiny immature little bitch.
He also blocked and sniped at a friend of mine on my journal as well, and she sent in a ticket reporting him for his anti-admin journal, but forgot to include that he had sniped at her as well. They chose not to do anything about it.
The second guy is another misinformed right wing loony and misogynist who has repeatedly spewed this typical garbage, and I've dealt with him repeatedly. He won't acknowledge a fact even when I've served it up to him on a silver platter, so it's hardly worth bothering.
The third guy is a particularly sad case. He repeats all of the usual misinformed and bigoted stuff, but he's actually a nice and very sensitive guy who is deeply depressed, traumatized, and suffers from PTSD from his having been, or his perception of having been, bullied and abused by people he grew up with as well as just about everything in his environment, as far as I can tell. I'm actually currently engaged in trying to help him with this.
If people want to be assholes, thats their right, i guess.
you know what the funny thing is?
theyre probably nice people at a furry con or something.
Everyone feels so safe behind a keyboard and think they can type anything with no repercussions and consequences.
that whole anonymity thing going. =P
That absolute garbage about antifa, for instance, when the overwhelming evidence is they're really no danger to anyone but fascists, and the far right and fascists are actually out there bullying and killing random people on the regular... I mean come on, really? These folks actually refuse to acknowledge that left wing fascism has never existed. Every single fascist movement has always been exclusively right wing, and directly opposed by socialists, communists, and anarchists. And that's just one of the ridiculous talking points that they endlessly parrot and will never be convinced otherwise about, no matter how it's contradicted by objective reality.
if people have a problem with AntiFA, theyre Nazis. :D
He sang "Justice for all"
"in collaboration with rioters imprisoned for their alleged involvement in the Capitol riotβjust ahead of his highly anticipated arrival at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, better known as CPAC"

left a comment. :D
I really hope that it gets released on vinyl so I can inevitably find it at a thrift store, though. It's destined to be the Barry Sadler's Ballad Of The Green Berets of 2023.
if we talk enough about it, who knows? :D
As much or even more important than his being a great singer and entertainer, is his being a long time crusader for human rights and dignity right up to the end, at great cost to himself.
Another excellent example of him speaking, -about the last 22 minutes or so of this broadcast: https://kpfa.org/player/?audio=399747
A true hero who dedicated his life to truth, justice, and human rights.
