Why bother with big concerts? Unless you’re rich you’re sitting a half mile away watching them on a jumbo screen next to the stage. I prefer small stage venues. You can get close to the action and often talk to the band at the merch table. Go often enough and you’ll see familiar faces. Those are scene-sters that make the rounds and know the up and coming bands worth seeing, local bands too. You might even catch acts before they get big, everybody starts somewhere. Not everyone show is a winner but you won’t spend a week’s pay

Maybe English speaking people with tattoos of Chinese letters is the equivalent?

That’s how life goes, things don’t always go the way we’d hoped. I’m betting you are going to be happy as soon as you set eyes on the little crotch goblin

The “baby boom” happened between 1946 and 1964, an 18 year period. Not everyone will die within an 18 year period. Some have already passed, some will live into their 90’s and could be around until the 2060’s

Nobody gonna turn down a day off

People will be taking flags down that they have flown for the past 9+ years. It’s important we remember who flew them

Speak English Or Die by Stormtroopers of Death. Whipped up in a week and recorded using Anthrax’s leftover studio time, this album bridged hardcore and metal. Metallica and Slayer were already popular with some punks but SEOD didn’t take itself seriously and had a DIY vibe

When listening to Bad Moon Rising, instead of “there’s a bad moon on the rise” I hear “there’s the bathroom on the right”

To be fair it’s tough to be proficient in a language you don’t get to use. In some places in the US, there’s plenty of Spanish speaking people. Other than that not so much.

Leading up to the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump urged his voters to vote in person while Democrats promoted voting by mail due to Covid pandemic. Steve Bannon was secretly recorded saying that this was the Trump Campaign’s plan to falsely claim the election was stolen. Steve Bannon does not deny saying this. By law, votes can’t be tallied until polls close. Mail in ballots take longer to process because envelopes have to be opened, info needs to be verified then the vote can be counted. In person ballot results are faster because verification has already taken place and in many places ballots are scanned waiting to counted by a machine. Of course this is how it went down.

So to answer your question, Republican voters have a distrust for mail in voting. Largely because a president of the United States told his supporters to vote in person. During a pandemic.

First they came for the Socialists…
