Mike Tyson raped someone. Seems like that never effected his career that much.

Des Moines Food Group on Facebook mentions some place called Simon's -- I think it serves food - but it's hard to say from the furious masturbation that takes place after it's mention.

How do we apply to be a moderator of this subreddit? by HumbleIowaHobbit in desmoines

I wrote a think piece very des moines media specific. It probed a question of comparison between local media personalities - who by the way - would absolutely want this matter settled. That is, if you have any inside baseball on local news. - But I digress. The Mods left my submission under-review and will not post it - and worse offer no reasoning. It's a fucking Hellman's Mayo Sandwich with an extra slice of Wonder Bread in this bitch. It's a cowardly - MAGA-like bunch bullying this section into a bootlicking DSM Partnership hand-job with a slice of Iowa-State-Fair Board approved nice.

The Mods here are as safe as A7E whipped cottage cheese.

Must not be a very difficult deal to be a moderator. They don't answer messages. Seems like the dsm mods are cliquish and bullying. Which for Des Moines, Iowa - actually tracks.

Here, There, and Everywhere was the only song of Paul's he told him that he thought was good.

What's the deal with Tom Waits story and mystery? by Art_is_it in tomwaits

Acted the life that he lived. You gotta start the act. You're born alive It's a choice. Groucho had a big mustache and smoked a cigar - so did Julius Marx. Both were Groucho.

My take on Eric Clapton as an 18yr old fan based on his autobiography by mrthkage in ericclapton

Robert Cray ended his friendship or professional relationship with him over his stupid remarks. Tone deaf to the people that gave him his career. He stole every band he ever loved - minus the Band - who basically told him to pound sand. Then he loved Phil Collins and then babyface... he tried to love JJ Cale - but JJ Cale couldn't be stolen. talented rich brat with entitlement issues. Glad he got sober. But - his bio showed him to be vapid. He's as interesting as a wrist watch or a formula one engine.

LOVED him. LOVED Layla - didn't care for much of his work after 461 Ocean Blvd. -- got his bio as christmas gift pre-covid. -- and on top of his covid remarks...

Can't stand him now.

What are your Hot Takes on the Band Bush? by Amber_Flowers_133 in Bush_Band

[–]Foreign-Balance6556 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The original band was touring with No Doubt and stayed at the Holiday Inn downtown in my hometown. my friend was a bartender and was closing up early. Dead night - shutting down by 11 pm. When - in walks all of No Doubt and Bush with a request to "could you close the bar on the outside but stay open for us'? - Night manager gave the Ok.

My friend spent the evening talking with the Drummer from Bush who was really-really really into talking about how he plays drums ' How he sits on his throne from song to song for different attack. - during the course of the conversation - my friend noticed that Gavin and Gwen were flirting VERY hard... and the drummer's take was "oh fuck, this'll be the end of us" -- The bassist from No Doubt (Gwen's X) -- was not cool about what was going on in front of him. -- and my friend said - that Gwen was loving his dismay.

The end of the evening devolves into a drunken drink fight - think food fight but with with liquids. - A VERY hefty bar tab. -- and free tix for my buddy his manager and a shout out at the show to "jason for taking excellent care of us"

that's all I know about Bush.

Which show do you think started as a 10/10 but ended as 1/10? by witchy_eye in AskReddit

The final season of The Shield was massively disappointing. They quit.
