He apparently was still a fairly powerful and influential Republican for at least another decade, but I can’t imagine he’ll be remembered much beyond that headline by the time I’m an old man.Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 5:01pmYou know that shit was framed next to the front door.Wolter wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 5:00pmDewey staring at a yellowed copy of the mistaken headline while spinning a revolver and dry-clicking it on his temple.Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 4:58pmI imagine Tilden spent the rest of his life yelling out of windows.

Stay Free, very good but ever so slightly overrated I feel.

Re: ROUND 6 - GEER - Side Two
Not for me. It deserves all it's praise a sentimental song in amongst all these heavier punk numbers it's a class track.

Re: ROUND 6 - GEER - Side Two
I actually think it's underrated, never see it getting any major praise on here or elsewhere. I love it myself, I just thought it always sounded out of place on GEER. It sounds weedy when surrounded by all those bombastic songs.

Hey I gave it praise. I don't agree it sounds weedy. But I would agree half of GEER is over heavy.

Re: ROUND 6 - GEER - Side Two
The middle eight in Stay Free is one of my favourite Clash moments. That sudden jump to "years have passed and things have changed" is genius. Mick had this great knack where he could just totally turn the song around in the blink of an eye, yet make it sound seamless. The Clampdown middle 8 is another great example.

Re: ROUND 6 - GEER - Side Two
Yeah, I don't mean it sounds weedy in itself, just in comparison to the other tracks. I don't think it's well placed on the album.Marky Dread wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 5:25pmHey I gave it praise. I don't agree it sounds weedy. But I would agree half of GEER is over heavy.

Re: ROUND 6 - GEER - Side Two
Stay Free is a fucking amazing song. It’s rare to hear a platonic love song, too.
