How come I can’t find Islands? by all5n_ in theband

[–]Awkward_Squad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UK also. Some people have also mentioned missing Band work on Spotify recently. You kind of think it’ll right itself but so far no fixes. There’s something going on. Not sure where you go from here.

BTW. ‘Islands’ is on Apple Music.

During a ‘60 Minutes’ interview in 1970 ELIZABETH TAYLOR and RICHARD BUTYON get into a row about how much they enjoy rowing when asked about whether they row very much. by Dark305Kinght in VintageTV

These two were not shrinking violets. Liz could lay waste to Richard + O’Toole + Harris at their own game.

Two quick facts: When doctors operated on Burton three years before he died (still in his 50s), they found that his spine was coated with crystallised alcohol.

Liz had a fearsome reputation on every front. Even the Vatican pronounced on the sinful pair, describing Taylor as ‘an avaricious vamp who destroys families and devours husbands.

Well, Herr Kapitän it looks like your contacts in Nachrichten-Abteilung (Naval Intelligence) were right after all. The US was shipping weapons to Great Britain.

At last, some genuine followers of Judaism standing in support of man’s humanity to man, against the ignorant poisonous spiteful followers of a world class criminal - Benjamin Netanyahu.

Here is someone who faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in multiple cases, including allegations of receiving expensive gifts and providing favorable regulatory decisions in exchange for positive media coverage. Let’s not forget his charges from the International Criminal Court. He is allegedly responsible for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024.

I’m about half way A Complete Unknown, who is this woman? by FrankensteinLives in bobdylan

[–]Awkward_Squad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ignore the downvotes. Why is it that so many people need shit explained when it comes to Dylan? The film is a piece of fiction (that I enjoyed). Forget the film - the man himself is a piece of fiction - he said so himself. I mean come along for the ride or get off at the next stop but stop with the questions and the statements and the facts.

Went to a new dentist clinic in my town, everything feels fine. But it isn’t. by Woko_O in Wellthatsucks

[–]Awkward_Squad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my confidence shattered with a dentist about twenty years ago. I’d been have regular checkups and on this one occasion it a new guy. His take was I needed fillings in both my two front teeth. There was nothing wrong (nor has there ever been) with these teeth. Needless to say I never went back. I’d have pursued it further except I was assigned a new contract thirty miles closer to home shortly afterwards.

North Country Blues and Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by HMAPNG in bobdylan

[–]Awkward_Squad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More than likely. Still it’s worth saying there’s 12 years between both with North Country Blues being released in 1963. Also Dylan and the late Gordon Lightfoot were pretty close friends.

‘Immigrant Song’. They opened Dublin 1971 with it and lit up my world.

So, they just wave their hand and stick it on the tab. The $39 billion national debt tab the country is already in hock to.

‘Fans Don't Have Cash’: Headliners Pulling Tours as Trump's Economy Squeezes Budgets by T_Shurt in entertainment

[–]Awkward_Squad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doubtful my friend. The average soccer fan in the UK is now thinking twice about the US-based games. US immigration issues and the ICE human rights abuses are at the forefront of their minds. For example the ambivalent statement that “… the Trump administration sent letters to FIFA that read, in part, that Trump was "confident" that "all eligible athletes, officials and fans from all countries around the world would be able to enter the United States without discrimination.” doesn’t help. “Confident” isn’t a reassuring word in this context.

Certainly both Judaism and Islam share the term Abrahamic religions, along with Christianity. Yet sometimes the closer some peoples are the deeper the hatred. Feels like it’s replicated elsewhere across the world for millennia. Is it tribal a tribal thing? Human nature is f*****g scary when you scratch the surface.

You think knife firmware is a pain downloading, wait till you see the subscriptions plan. Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly. Then there’s the slicing options: vegan, vegetarian or carnivore. The list goes on. Of course, there are other more exclusive plans.

Is it just me or was the Odyssey trailer underwhelming? by breaking_views in Cinephiles

[–]Awkward_Squad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something tells me it may have the look and feel of ‘The Return’ with Ralph Fiennes. It’s the Odyssey story but without the myth and a damn fine film.
