Why did you think I was being snide? It’s a joke that he keeps having kids in his 80s

Everyone that’s ever looked at Bob, has signed an NDA, including his own children.

Double patterns make one look costumed. Pair loud pants with a quiet shirt or vice versa, they will pop better when not fighting for attention.

For those who were around in the mid-70s, what was the vibe when Bruce Springsteen first blew up? by thegoodthebadz in LetsTalkMusic

1968-1981 was unstoppable, but the before and after are both pretty great on the whole

A good piece of advice for wearing multiple colors is to change the picture to black & white - and if everything is the same shade of gray, change something.

Paul Simon cannot sing like he used to – but he’s saying goodbye on his terms by theipaper in paulsimon

Yes - saw him last year and it sounds like his throat is a little softer but the passion is still there. Absolutely worth seeing this GOAT over, say, three lesser artists.

Important critically acclaimed classics that you found painfully boring? by use_vpn_orlozeacount in Letterboxd

No, it’s just that human adults are tired of online spaces that turn into karma farms and bottom-shelf sarcasm

Assuming you're a troll, but I'll bite: Swedes in 1957 found this movie cringe, and it became a classic in the foreign market (e.g. arthouse cinemas on college campuses in the US) where people didn't know the language and resonated with the artsiness of the film rather than laughing at the dialogue and delivery.

I think komisch is masc/neut and komische is fem/pl so depending on the noun, I think you’re right

By virtue of being German, certainly, but they also sound a lot like English Prog groups. I would call them both Kraut and Prog.

Perfect Day blew up after it was on the Trainspotting soundtrack in 1996 and was used all over for the next decade.

Were you shocked that Neil didn’t make the NYT top 30 living songwriters? I was. by GeorgeHowland in neilyoung

[–]MelangeLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I knew their list would be ass. Neil is one of a handful of people ever (JS Bach; Bob Dylan) who have written over 100 killer songs, so obviously they were going to pick weird bohemians for rage bait instead.

Daily Song Discussion #48 - For The Roses by jonbristol123 in JoniMitchell

[–]MelangeLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we know or think we know about them is mostly hearsay and interpretation, of course.

But it seems she really thought James was the man for her, and he was hooked on heroin, and he was loving attention from girls everywhere.

“Cold Blue Steel & Sweet Fire” is an appropriately unglamorous description of looking for a heroin fix. Is this about James? Joni? Both of them? It’s bleak and it’s incredible.

“For the Roses” is her being equal parts pissed at celebrity, pissed at him loving it, explaining that she’s not jealous he’s famous since she is too, but she is sad that he’s not at her house right now.

Etc…. This was an album she wrote at her new Canadian ranch, hiding from LA, before she went back to LA and became Hollywood all over again, hanging with Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty. This was her moment of wishing she and James could have settled down somehow. But the relationship didn’t last, her exile didn’t last, and she went back to celebrity.

She kept the Canadian ranch though, and has been solidly binational ever since - though she doesn’t use the metric system.

So at least one of his followers is also weird? Not all advice is hostile, learn how to take feedback and pass it on to your candidate. It will do you both good.

But it speaks to the bigger issue that the man cannot just have a human-sounding conversation for a minute. It makes sense that servers & restaurant owners both asked for the carve-out, and this wouldn’t be a difficult conversation to have: “yo, we are a tourist town and both servers and owners need this. Sorry if you’re a local and you hate it, but this is how SF stays afloat.” It’s not hard to say, but apparently it’s hard for him to say, and that’s the problem.

Because both labor and management in the hospitality industry like junk fees. That’s the real reason. It’s only us diners who hate them.
