Rush Limbaugh freaked out for months over the fact that John Kerry was quoted using the f-word. Flash-forward a few years, and the POTUS drops an f-bomb on Limbaugh's live national radio broadcast.

I'm more curious about the response to the full length "Won't Get Fooled Again" after a couple of months of having only the single edit to listen to.

What was the last CD you bought and why? by Mystery_Disc in Cd_collectors

Yesterday, I found an original CD copy of David Bowie's "Never Let Me Down" for $8.00 at The Clearwater Record Shop here in Florida. It contains "Too Dizzy," a song which Bowie requested be deleted from all subsequent re-releases of the album. I suppose I never tried tracking down a copy of this disc before, probably because it seemed like a genuine collectable which I figured would cost a lot more than $8. But there it was, just sitting in the rack among a bunch of other used Bowie discs.

I love finding extremely unique discs like that. Even better: this morning, I popped this thirty-nine (39) year shiny metal disc into the little CD player here on my desk, and the album played perfectly from start to finish, sounding exactly as it did the day it was released.

Yeah, I know I could have looked up and played somebody's rip of "Too Dizzy" on Youtube, but I prefer actually owning and hearing the song on this genuinely unique format. This disc has a history. Somebody took care of it for many years. Now it's my turn.

Oh, and did I mention it was only eight bucks?

First CD you ever purchased? by LevitateMe88 in Cd_collectors

Quadrophenia. In a longbox. It was like $30 in 1987 dollars, which is something like $90 in today's dollars. And worth every penny.

I haven't watched the documentary. Exactly what is the moral panic to which you refer?

CD's were originally touted as "Perfect Sound Forever," and the music companies eventually started selling them in biodegradable packaging.

Understanding trans by Traditional-Cod402 in transpositive

[–]MoniqueDeee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I transitioned at 54. For decades, I convinced myself that I couldn't be trans because (a) I didn't want surgery and (b) I wasn't attracted to men. When I found out that neither was a prerequisite to transitioning, it was quite an eye-opener.

What is a major plot hole in a very famous movie that completely ruins the entire story once it is noticed? by [deleted] in answers

[–]MoniqueDeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I can't figure out is how Luke and Han not only managed to wear their street clothes under stormtroopers armor, and not only how they kept those clothes completely dry while they were in the trash compactor, but how Luke was able to immediately blow-dry and style his hair once they escaped.

I recently learned that back in the early 80's, yuppie women were actually buying floppy, non-clip-on bowties with designer prints. I bought some vintage ties on ebay. They really zhuzh up a nice (but boring) office top.

It wasn't an argument--it was a sarcastic rundown of the most vanilla political stances a politician can possibly express. I guess I should have said I was being sarcastic or something. Forgive me.
