It takes all types.
Including types who pay for online content.
Pay?
I cant see that article, they have a pay wall up
It's a scam for Medulla so you buy him whisky.
This adds up because so many of the articles he posts require you to pay

Somehow I've never actually seen this album before. But, holy hell, what a fugly cover, from image to typography. Cheesy and messy. Would you move a couch for someone who signed off on this? :yuck:

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I used to tell people that Reo speedwagon and Journey sucked back then and people looked at me like I was crazy.

Ex-Beatle, more money than Ganesh, yet goes with the kind of shit you'd expect from a bar band that scrapes together enough money to put out their collection of wretched covers of "Takin' Care of Business" and "Satisfaction."
