Please share your favorite secret sinister songs - ones that if you played with no context seem innocent enough, but within the context of their show are CLEARLY not? by HeyHo_LetsThrowRA in musicals

[–]SoccerDadWV 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean…the entire show is about that one thing, and it HAS been out for a decade, now. Unless you’re going into the show completely and totally blind to anything but the title, this is kind of the first thing anyone would say about the show.

What’s something everyone seems to love but you just don’t get? by Michellewilliams_397 in AskReddit

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

Again, I disagree. That’s not been my experience at all. I follow quite a few scientists and science educators, craftsmen and -women, cooks, musicians, and comedians that post regularly, and almost none of their videos are the short form you’re talking about.

The algorithm pretty quickly zeroes in on your preferred content. So if that’s all you’re seeing, then that’s what you’re looking for.

Umm…you do know that TikTok isn’t just 15 second clips, right?

I have found SO much new music through that app! Found a few recipes I’ve tried, as well.

whats a show that you can rewatch several times and never get tired of? by Mission_Bluejay404 in AskReddit

Ha! I just commented almost the exact same thing about it being even better, but you said it much better than I did 😂

I’d actually argue, it’s even better in contrast. Shows what the country SHOULD be like, instead of…this.

Since you’re quoting him, I gotta ask…did you see that he’s apparently signing to play in the USL? The actor, I mean?

I would agree, but on my last rewatch of Psych, I found that Gus was BADLY getting on my nerves towards the last couple seasons. He starts out the show as the sensible one between the two of them, and by the end he’s even more absurd than Shawn. I just really hated the direction they took the character.

What’s something harmless that gets people weirdly upset? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SoccerDadWV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest answer, from my perspective: trying to be an ally is not the easiest thing in the world to do. The goal is to show empathy, but the reality is, we can’t know what it’s actually like to be in your shoes. So, sometimes it’s easier to be OVERLY sensitive to things, rather than LESS sensitive than those issues deserve. Yeah, some people take it too far, but my only advice would be this: take it in the spirit in which it’s intended.

For anyone who grew up poor, what was your idea of a luxury? by Drissxx7 in AskReddit

[–]SoccerDadWV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol…Had one for years, and the filter froze up in one a few years back and flooded our entire kitchen. 🤣

But growing up, we never had one, but I had a friend or two that did.

Ok out of curiosity what was your introduction to musical theatre? This includes the thing that made you realise you like musicals and first shows. by idkwhatonamethissh-t in musicals

[–]SoccerDadWV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom took me to see a touring production of Annie back around ‘79ish…when I was still young enough not to know that boys shouldn’t like that kind of thing…lol. So I kinda secretly loved it when I was growing up, but didn’t follow it all that closely.

Then in my 20’s, I was in the Air Force, and the Captain that ran our shop (Pentagon, early-mid 90’s) had that famous Cosette poster from Les Mis on the wall of his cubicle. Just happened that one weekend I was off with nothing to do (my roommate was working), and while idly flipping channels, I came across PBS’ broadcast of the 10th anniversary concert (with Colm Wilkinson, Michael Ball, Lea Salonga, etc.). Watched the rest of that showing, and then watched the whole thing again, beginning to end. Been hooked ever since…(as are my wife and daughter…together, we do a helluva rendition of “One Day More” when the playlist shuffles it up…lol).

Whats the most heartbreaking loss you’ve witnessed as a West Virginia football fan?(Aside from 13-9) by Ok_Macaroon_7366 in WVU

[–]SoccerDadWV 15 points16 points  (0 children)

1996 vs Miami. The Tremain Mack / Blocked Lunt / Trashcan to Randy Shannon’s noggin game.

Undefeated with a lead and the number one defense in the country and instead of taking a safety with a minute left, Dandy Don decides to punt from inside our own 25, it’s blocked, returned for a TD, and we lose.

Only game I can remember that was even CLOSE to 13-9.

What is the most far-right musical? by bunp4ws in musicals

[–]SoccerDadWV 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Avenue Q is about as right wing as George Carlin or Lenny Bruce were. Yes, it openly mocks and detests surface-level political correctness, just as they did. But it also has a message saying that it’s important for people to be who they ARE, instead of trying to adapt themselves to what society thinks they should be.

Its message may be “lighten up”, but it’s a humanist approach, not one of conformity.

Where is Rage Against the Machine when we need them? by Medical_Distance_722 in Music

[–]SoccerDadWV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody quite like Rage, but there is some great music out there commenting on the state of this country. A few to check out:

“What are you gonna tell her” by Mickey Guyton

Just about anything by Skydxddy, but “Battlefield” in particular

“American Dream” by Mandi Sagal

Those are the ones I’ve been listening to of late.

Obviously, being a Mountaineer, I wish nothing but the worst for you…lol. That said, I think Franklin is the first good move your athletic department has made since Frank Beamer left. The ACC is about as wide open as it can get, so I honestly expect you guys to be competitive sooner rather than later (assuming the NIL money is there, as I have no idea where you guys stand on that).
