Neil Diamond - Classics


You can read the relevant law at the following link.

https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=89&ba=hf847

I am not saying that the intent is right or wrong, good or bad, i am simply trying to highlight that any supposed win for "liberty" comes at the equal expense of another's liberty. Whether you like it or not, this school funding bill rescinds the rights of private citizens and local, city, and business jurisdictions to mandate a relatively minor safety procedure, and instead consolidates that power to the level of the State.

It amounts to taking away access to legal evaluation of citizens rights in a potential health emergency and instead declares that only the state can determine the maximum allowable safety precautions of private business.

In championing any supposed "win," you have increased the legal authority of the state of Iowa, enacted new legally binding laws governing personal relationships between citizens in place of resolving these personal disputes, and proved yet again that your "feelings" are more important than civil discussion and compromise. 

You have turned a simple pissing contest into an unnecessary governmental edict. 

This is just my opinion, but that's the agenda that Fox News and other Conservative media outlets have been hammering since Biden officially took office. I'm not saying you can't be happy that you don't HAVE to wear a mask to the grocery store, i'm saying be honest and ask whether that is worth actual governmental intervention, or whether the TV told you to feel that way. I personally think it is the actual opposite of what many people say they desire in terms of smaller, less intrusive government.

There, Skip, how's that for a political opinion?

Skip: i, uh, er....

Bottle: yep, that's the boat i row. I think i'll use my "i don't need a reason" card this turn, and we'll all just enjoy Neil Diamond's Classics in comparative silence.

The 4 Seasons - The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette

Image
This might be my longest  album review ever. But i swear a couple times, so it's worth the read ;) How could i possibly mention Jefferson Airplane, The 4 Seasons, and Frank Zappa in the same context? Zappa said "this is rediculous" and a few years later The 4 Seasons said "you know what, Frank is right. This IS ridiculous." To which Jefferson Airplane said, "Oh. Ok. Got it." The real question is: which one is the most transgressive? Zappa said stop fighting, you look like idiots. Jefferson Airplane said i guess if love and community is a bad thing, then sure we're criminals and we'd be happy to move out into the fields and live peaceful lives without your garbage, let us go already. The 4 Seasons said hold my champagne for a moment. In 1969, The 4 Seasons released the single most ironic, acidic, extravagant, and downright befuddling album ever created, The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette. Zappa was accused of writing "shitty doo-w

Welcome to my blog, and my record collection.

This is a blog about my love of listening to albums. It started off as a nightly perusal of my dad's record collection (which sadly became mine) on my personal facebook page. Over the last two months it has become quite an enjoyable process of simply ranting about what i think is a real art form, the album. It needs a more permanent home. Some of my reviews are positive, some negative. They might not be what you expect from album reviews, but i hope you at least find them entertaining. For the most part i do very little research, and they tend to be train of thought reactions rather than calculated essays. If nothing else, know that i'm really listening to them and whether they are amazing or abysmal i want you to go listen to them too.  I'll start migrating the 60+ i've written so far over here in the next few days, and hopefully get to the point where i just start writing them here. I'd probably even take suggestions if you're just dying to know my tho

Pat Benatar - Seven The Hard Way

Image
I don't know about you, but i love Pat Benatar. Yes, that's also her debut album with the single most underrated song in the universe (My Clone Sleeps Alone) in the background, but that's just a generic non-self-titled debut album. We're jumping ahead to her 6th album, Seven The Hard Way, because that, ladies and gentle germs, is how you kalaidescope a concept. Not one, not two, not three, but 4 protien-packed layers to this metaphor. You don't really need to know the overly complicated rules of Craps to know that A) it's gambling, B) "the hard way" refers to rolling doubles, so good luck rolling two 3.5s, and C) you're going to lose, one way or another. It's a joke, but more importantly, it's Pat Benatar and the roll out is Sex As A Weapon, so the innuendo is not intended to be subtle. Wait wait wait, that's only 3, Bottle, where's 4? You're right, last but not least, side B opens with Seven Rooms of Gloom, a Holland-Dozier-Hol
