You would prefer us to believe that rather than inciting violence, your statement about Hillary Clinton, future Supreme Court nominees, and Second Amendment supporters was not an attempt to incite violence but rather an example of how unqualified you are to be President. One or the other is true, although admittedly, both could be true.
When you are President of the United States, everything you say matters. It also matters how you say it. Your diarrhea of the mouth is dangerous.
Perhaps now I'm a grumpy old man, but I don't think I would have liked this album when it was released either. I went ahead and listened to a few more of their songs -- those "most popular" on Spotify -- and they appealed to me more. Still, this is probably my last listen of the Butthole Surfers. I guess I'm not now, and never have been, that angry.
I seem to be stuck in 1972, but If you were stuck on a desert isle with only one artist's work on your solar powered MP3 player, could you do better than the music of Stevie Wonder?

We got engaged in Paris. We were married on Bastille Day fifteen years ago. We always hoped to spend our anniversary in Paris. We finally did!

I realize that I probably shouldn't just post my "headline" without sticking my neck out with editorial comment. Listen, if you believe in Jesus, make what he called the most important commandment YOUR most important commandment.
“36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.””
It's about 5 minutes drive from my house. It's an eclectic, mixed use, diverse economy little area full of restaurants, cafes, salons, small retail, and professional offices. Apartments rent within a block or two start at around $3k a month. Houses sell for $500k and up with many going well over a million.
It also has this problem.

One of my favorite "discoveries" from this list so far. Perhaps the rest of you already know them [shrug]. I believe they are more popular in the UK. Anyway, the sound goes from richly orchestrated anthems to soft melodies. Guy Garvey, the lead singer, sounds quite a bit like Sting but has a better, sweeter voice.
It's embarrassing to admit that before this album came up on my 1001 Albums playlist, all I knew about Iggy Pop was that he is a singer and that in every picture I saw, he seemed to be without his shirt. After listening to "Lust for Life", I realize that I already knew and liked some of his music. Listening to "Lust for Life" made me want to hear more. His newest release "Post Pop Depression" is good as well. I want to hear more.
Punk (or even more accurately pre-Punk) meets David Bowie.
This album was a released during a time in my life when I was separated from music due to some other preoccupations: Army Basic Training and going to an intensive language school. I would have liked it then. I like it now. The heavy riffs and driving beat are the perfect canvas for the pained lyrics.
