I saw these somewhere else. And since Lofton posted a couple of these pages ago, I found these cool since you don't see them anymore

Love these. Instant and potent nostalgia fuel.
I also miss the old cable guides we used to get every month from the cable company in the 70s and 80s.... essentially TV Guides but only for HBO and Showtime. They'd also have pics and sometimes interviews in them.

Also take into account bacteria that we brought to Mars could have morphed into some super toxic organism and we could potentially never even know it happened.
I no longer believe manned missions to other planets/moons will ever happen. I think civilization will collapse long before such an achievement occurs.
Nixon should've been hung for cancelling the Saturn program. It destroyed our chances at exploring the Solar System. Instead they greenlit the Shuttle and we jerked off in LEO for decades.
At some point (70s-80s) TPTB decided our future was going to be much different than talked about for decades. Instead of looking out, we looked in.
Now we're in a dystopic hell of our own making and there's no way out.

He's basically just Peter Pan with fuck you money.
Does anyone here still listen to either of these songs?
It's funny how we FINALLY have The General and I don't even listen to it.

The rot was already well advanced by the end of the Sopranos run.
The thing I hated about the Sopranos there towards the end is how you find out Carmine was right. It's not a family...it's a glorified crew. Tony doesn't nearly as much power as you assume he does in the previous seasons.
Dallas did this same thing. JR is a shell of himself those last few seasons. The guy who could bring the entire state of Texas to its knees can't even get himself out of an insane asylum. Its pathetic.
#55 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 56 weeks ago
I can't stop watching Dallas. It's an addiction at this point. I started season 5.again.
Amazon added a few movies I'd like to watch but I can't stop watching this.

I didn't know until today that a studio version of Raving and Drooling existed. I was shocked. I guess I hadn't heard all the demos like I thought I had. It popped up randomly in my feed.
Why the hell didn't they include it on the Wish You Were Here Immersion set? Fuckers.
Now give us You've Got To Be Crazy before we're all dead!
#57 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2024 “Taking Off” » 57 weeks ago
Nearly halfway through 2024, and they clearly are taking this year off. Question for here is, are you expecting anything in 2025 and if so, what?
I'm sticking with my prediction....
2025-27
Band anniversary, AFD anniversary, and farewell tour all wrapped into one final huge tour.
I'm perfectly fine with a farewell.
It's more than obvious by now that it's not a functioning band. We're never getting any type of album and it'll be a miracle if we even get one more song...and that'll be a 20 year old song.
Just wrap it up.
lol, I swear they pump out one of those type of articles once a year just to show the fanbase that they are doing something.
Ultimately as we have learned over the years it’s basically nothing but lip service.
Yeah and the shrinking by the day hardcore base no longer believes any of this nonsense.
#58 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 60 weeks ago
Been continuing my speed run of Dallas.
I'm on the final season.
The quality nosedived and it's brutal at this point. Too many cast changes, shitty plots, and the vibe is completely different. It's Dallas in name only at this point.
I have to finish it though.
To anyone who wished The Sopranos had continued....
Be glad that it didn't. It would've turned into this.

On the other hand the 90s still had some music. The present does not. Perhaps our age should be called "post musical". It is the only time in history where music has been completely subsumed by commercial and political forces. The fringe, independent stuff doesn't count in this regard, and is also bad. With the exception of a few old timers who are still trucking there is absolutely nothing going on with music anymore. It is as if our very minds have been affected somehow, rendering us incapable of real creativity. It's very strange and I don't know how to explain it. Perhaps artistry has simply been dulled by excessive statism and political correctness. There is no room for maneuvering anymore, no leeway. The mind doesn't know how to run because it has never walked.
It blows me away how in the past 10-15 years or so and all the insane changes, there's never been a musical movement spawned from it.
To me it's a sign of the horrifying dystopia we're in, we're never coming out of it, and our society is pretty much entering its final chapters.
How did some sort of punk movement not come out of the Bush-war- economic meltdown years?
It's just bland sterile pop, rap that's really just noise pollution, bro country or whatever they call it now, along with an ocean of crap that nobody cares about.
We're never getting any more Tom Pettys or Otis Reddings or Mick Jaggers or Madonnas. We're never getting any more Al Pacinos or Clint Eastwoods or Coppolas.
The talent level simply isn't there anymore and never will be.
While I don't agree with that album being the best of the 90s, you make a good point about the sunshine and lollipops vibe of the decade with a doom and gloom culture surrounding it.
It's fascinating.
Similar with the 1980s....the dark, final chapter of the Cold War and the prospect of nuclear annihilation hanging over our heads surrounded by a nonstop cheese fest.
#60 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Official Website » 62 weeks ago
Whatever it is...it's too little, too late.
Axl/GNR have a history of official sites popping up and then either disappearing or just sitting there idle and dead for years.
It having some link to Live Nation doesn't really make it any better.
It's probably just another half assed attempt by Team Brazil to make a few extra bucks on the side.
I'd wager it fades from existence in the near future.
We'll see....
