Sorry, Anarshit. As fun as its been playing the Leo Frank role in your little lynching party, but its been more fun watching reactionary buffoons struggle desperately to pretend they don't fucking loathe each other once the scapegoats been cast out of the village. Run back to your pothead dreamworld while the rest of struggle for justice and liberation in this fucking world. I can't say I blame you for leaving this place- it's like a bad remake of the Office.

Sai-o-fucking-nara, motherfuckers.
I mean, why did he think it was OK to make fun of you? Only WE get to make fun of you!
Got a Rake? Sure!

Well that was directed at eumaas (which makes his Leo Frank comments unintentionally ironic), but yeah, he did go at me a bit.
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.

Wow who knew some of the other sub forums were so much fun.

Also Leo Frank? That's pretty esoteric.

Even tho that discussion is only a couple years old, I have zero recollection, even in re-reading what I contributed, of it. I would reiterate one thing I said: it shows that liberal is not the same thing as left.

It is a source of endless wonder to me how many supposedly politically alert people seem unable to grasp that very basic truth.

My pet theory is that it's a reflection of how much our politics has been driven by cultural questions, rather than economic. The shift in the left more broadly since the 60s has gone from a fight over labour issues—neoliberalism won that handily by the 90s—to one of personal liberation. Treat me and my choices and identity with respect. Not that that is wrong, of course, only that it's a shift from common cause over labour to one of diversity and the happiness of the individual. And the right has responded to that challenge, hostile to genuine pluralism. But those cultural and identity questions of diversity play well with liberalism (at the centre). It doesn't confound neoliberal economic questions because, in fact, it plays quite well with making us all commodities and markets. So if politics is mostly driven by cultural questions (because the economic stuff has been so stifled for decades), liberal and left often play together better than liberal and right. Now, as neoliberalism's hold is breaking up, and economic questions return, the divisions between left and liberal should be more apparent. Anyway, a pet theory.

I still have him on Ignore, should he ever return. His fealty to rock's canon, that we should never criticize the gods, drove me nuts. I remember him saying he couldn't participate in one of our Survivor-style games because the idea of arguing against great songs was too horrible to consider. Can't fathom that kind of subservience to art or artist.

Muppet was an odd one (as we all are). He and I did a challenge once because he was always talking shit about Sabbath. Anyway I gave him X many songs. He wondered why I didnt include Paranoid and Iron Man. I said because everyone knows those 2, so not much of a challenge. Anyway he never got around to doing the track review.

Maybe there isn't an official Rolling Stone guide to Sabbath to let him know whether it's acceptable.

And he had that wild notion that Johnny Thunders was gonna play with the Stones as a 2nd guitar player or something .
