The...No, wiseass, you don't "got it". The moral of the story is not to argue from total ignorance, doubly so when you're wrong.<br /><br />You don't like the song and I do? That's vanilla vs. chocolate. Purely a matter of individual taste. had you so much as half a wit, you'd have been able to make that point without being the flaming ass-boil you are.<br /><br />But you never heard it, so you don't like it, and then double down by trying to damn the music of an entire decade, the music of which you're apparently completely ignorant? Best wishes with that attempt.<br /><br />Then predictably land in a smoking hole, shit your diapers, and start flinging poo at the host because your opinions are entirely juvenile sophomoronic bellyaching?<br />That'll <i>definitely</i> make your point.<br /><br />Write your own blog, and sign the same name to all your diaper-spackle screeds, instead of hiding behind the anonymity which you so richly deserve.<br />If you think just because you have a keyboard, internet access, and diapers full of yesterdays stewed prunes, you're equipped to play at this level, you've been woefully misinformed.<br /><br />Isn't there a bridge over there in Fucktardia under which you should be scuttling?<br />Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-34401633423109676392019-08-26T15:08:45.085-07:002019-08-26T15:08:45.085-07:00Okay I got it don’t argue with Aesop about what’s ...Okay I got it don’t argue with Aesop about what’s to be done about drugs and druggies and don’t criticize his mediocre obtuse generic commercial music.

She had this penchant for screaming, and it soundly for all the world like a baby imitating Kinison. One day we had some friends over and the kid goes off again. They noticed the aural resemblance. So, Dad's going to be a smartass. I lean over her (she's in a baby swing) and say "Sam? Sam, are you in there?"<br /><br />And I get that scream. Big laughs all around.

It just sounds like every other commercial MTV tune from the 80’s to me. Stuff commercial radio would play. Like I said it’s not bad just mediocre. To each his own though. Looking at the different musicians whose videos you have linked to, not a single one was a person or group that I listened to. Although I had heard of them before. Martin Bailey was an musician who I somehow had never heard before. But still sounds very ‘80’s commercial to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-56768626155035750562019-08-26T11:09:53.508-07:002019-08-26T11:09:53.508-07:00I thought Sam was really hitting his stride at the...I thought Sam was really hitting his stride at the end after cleaning up and marrying again.

Our "Friends" predicted a long and fruitful marr---- OH HELL NO!! they predicted we would be LUCKY to go 6 months without either divorce or one or the other of us was dead.<br /><br />Yeah, they were wrong!!<br /><br />We='ve been through lean times (food stamps and old Gen Assistance type lean times), fat times, emotionally destroying times (deaths of parents etc destroying times).<br /><br />Difficult times (both of us working 40 hrs per AND doing the Paramedic course at the same time. School waited until we graduated and THEN told us we were the first married couple to enter, "enjoy" and complete the course married). Mr. McNutt was happily amazed, as we had worked with him on 2 racetracks on his med teams.<br /><br />we've gone through the "in sickness and in health" thing as well. She spent 6 months unable to pick up more than a pencil and sheet of paper after her 3-4-5 Cervical lami, which was after her total knee and she has handled me breakin me foot off (it's called a trimalleolar fx) and handled rotator cuffs and a back fracture (balloon kyphoplasties ROCK!!!)<br />she rinsed my gatorade bottles when there had to be a REAL reason to crutch and hump my way yo the john, and pee wasn't enough. And she walked me through my stroke.<br />We have traveled, loved, fought (nearly to blows), made up, and at least a couple times the fights tasted contrived, just so we could make up.<br />LOVE is nice but not magic. LOVE takes WORK. But... It is SO WORTH IT!!!<br /><br />I now return y'all to yer regular doom fest.Night driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14034183882627686763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-52656565608164341782019-08-25T12:14:04.783-07:002019-08-25T12:14:04.783-07:00Saw Sam Kinison live in concert in Fresno back in ...Saw Sam Kinison live in concert in Fresno back in the day.
