It's weird that the winner of the popular vote became so incredibly unpopular like 9 months afterward. With largely favorable media, even.

I think Dave Mustaine / Metallica kiiiiinda counts here?

He’s added a hammer and sickle to his homework about Capitalism.

Fair.

But what do you do when life hands you lemons? ANSWER ME THAT

Assuming that's the cherry version of UKLemonade (Sprite. It's called Sprite.), I believe London's own Kinks settled this by calling it Cherry Cola. After being sued by Americans, I think.

Oh, I can see, like Hugh Grant or someone like that saying it that way. It just never crossed my mind to.

The only one of those I care about at all is the lemonade one. And I can't even joke about Petrol / Gas, they 100% have it on us, there.

Surprised it's supposed to!

ALUMINUM SOCCER ZEE-BRA FANNY MEANS BUTT AND LEMONADE ISN'T FIZZY

wait what

Related: that "Generation Lead" meme does not factor that lead blood level testing began in 1975. The idea that GenX had more lead exposure than Boomers is farcical. Also violent crime dropped in the 90s, when GenX was prime violent-crimin' age.

I mean, GenX sucks, but it's not due to lead.

Russian Tattoos is actually a great stripper name.

If you're bored or whatever, you may as well listen to a perfect rock and roll song.

Everyone loves "Basket Case" played through an SG into a Friedman BE100. I know this in my heart to be true.

A lot of older gamers, movie buffs, music buffs, etc. get offended at people not experiencing seminal classics of a given medium. But we should all consider, each and every one of us is being marketed to at all times. There are BILLIONS of hours' worth of stuff to consume. Ignorance is not a crime.

This is admittedly a deeply dad answer.

If you really like that late-British-Invasion-merging-with-Southern-Rock period, and UK Glam, and NYC / UK punk... 1968-1978 is gonna be hard to beat.

I bet the child in question was hitting that R in "for" pretty hard, too.

Also, he would have corrected my use of "guy" there.

In like 2001 or so, a UK-based guy we both know (but never talk about anymore. yeah, him) complained about how his kid would say stuff like "Z is for zebra" and it would be entirely wrong.

That's the pronunciation I've always heard, and the timeline tracks with the internet making Americanisms even more everywhere than they already were.

Hey, is there any precedent for what the US is allowed to do with a Venezuelan president accused of crimes?

I've seen Billy Idol during his early 90s second act and his 2025 late career act and they are 2 of the best 5 shows I've ever seen, and maybe even 2 of the best 3. He's astonishingly good live.

So is Jack White really tall or is Jack Black and every other single person on SNL really sh... i mean we all know this already i guess

Gainesville's probably right. A case could be made for Orlando, too.

100%

I guess I'm not wild about the lack of an XLR output, seeing as you want to record into Logic. But it has 2 instrument cable outputs, which will get the job done.

Cool. This is the brand my friend likes, with this model being right in your range:

George Wendt, Norm from Cheers, once talked about his success coming from training hard, working hard, making sacrifices he'd knew he'd make, making sacrifices he /didn't/ know he'd have to make... and /then/ catching lightning in a bottle.
