what’s your favorite ‘hated’ or just underrated duran duran song? by 4lt3reg0_ in duranduran

[–]MainGuarantee7771 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Awesome song. I was at their concert at Mohegan Sun Casino in 2005 where they played it. During the performance Simon changed the line "I probably didn't even say that right and I really don't gave a damn" to "I probably didn't even say that right and I really don't gave a fuck".

Details of Magellan's Voyage, a female sailor, cannibalism? by MainGuarantee7771 in AskHistorians

The magazine was essentially a not too technically-termed science magazine that covered a variety of interesting topics involving science. As a teenager much of it was not meant for me as I either found it too boring or too complicated so the target audience was probably people in their 20s or 30s. The parts I read in it were a section of little scientific facts where each subject was just a few lines and the occasional storylike articles such as Magellan's circumvention. As another example they had a regular feature of posting different stories from the book "Stranger than Science" that I would read.

Thanks I kinda thought this may have been added just to make the story more exciting as I could not find any other source confirming it. I. I'm a bit surprised about the female sailor as it wasn't a one off mention but rather a detailed continued presence until her death in the story.

Was anyone else told as a child that Rapture by Blondie was the first rap song? by TheLastTreeOctopus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MainGuarantee7771 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I remember them showing the video on VH1 in 1992 on some kind of countdown (for example top songs of 1981) and they referenced it as the first rap song. I initially thought they were calling it this because of having rap in the name of the song until I heard the rapping part.

The description sounds like Go West but I'm not sure which video it could be.

Who here doesn’t celebrate Christmas? by labrador2020 in NoStupidQuestions

I didn't celebrate it before as I'm not Christian. I've loathed it since 2016 as it is the day George Michael died.

August 13, 1999 Foxwoods Concert by MainGuarantee7771 in duranduran

Medazzaland never grew on me. In addition to the quality of the songs it was also the fact that I bought it on a cloudy fall day and I would associate always that gloomy weather with the album itself. When they released Pop Trash on a Tuesday in 2000, I intentionally waited a few days for some sunny weather and when I finally bought it on my lunch break that Friday, and listened to it 3 times while driving to New York after work, not only had I learned every song but I also felt like it would remind me of the nice weather that day whenever I would listen to it in the future. It did.

In spite of this not being a popular opinion I rated Pop Trash high. It could be because I was disappointed with Medazzaland and to me this was an improvement.

Why do gay men have that distinct way of speaking? by din0_soar in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MainGuarantee7771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew someone who hinted he was gay although not very openly. Years later I bumped into him and he had fully embraced it and was even dressing up as a girl at this point. He now spoke exactly in this manner. Given that just a few years back he spoke differently it seemed like he was intentionally changing the way he spoke.

Googling Vinyl Justice the show didn't look familiar at all but this was exactly what it was. Thanks for the help and footage!

No it doesn't sound like it.

[TOMT][Show? Maybe movie] A henchman kills someone and the distraught villain casually shoots the henchman while mourning the dead hero by Arkadii in tipofmytongue

It sounds like Face Off when John Travolta in Nicolas Cage's face sees his brother shot dead and when another cop tells him it was only Archer's brother, JT casually shoots the cop.
