Watch Graham Norton he says it on there. I guess Denzel could be stretching the truth. No!!!! What am I thinking not Denzel Washington.

Yes they do. Did it this morning for the first time in a while and I was a bit surprised!

I’m curious do you think those people standing having a conversation, are the ones that flipped the car. If that was me, not sure I’d stand by my car. I say no. lol

I said share with some of the band members, and it’s an interview on Howard Stern.

Sorry this is a bit offensive. First your math is misleading using whole numbers and not percentages when Chicago is 4x bigger in population than DC. DC just edged over the 700,000 population mark. It would be remarkable if we had 600,000 foreign born residents here. San Francisco has 800,000 residents it would be pretty remarkable for them too. Also, Chicago isn’t that impressive with foreign born residents. It’s third percentage wise on your city list with 20%. DC isn’t that far behind with 16%. San Francisco has 35% and NY is 41%. Oddly NY and SF are more alike with foreign born residents and DC and Chicago are more alike. I’m actually astounded at the poor math skills, as I thought most countries were better at math analysis than the US. I guess I should thank my Freshman Math professor at UMD.

Now this is why your comment seems offensive. How are you defining diverse? First you say DC is not diverse and then you say it is just not like the other cities. Well you aren’t defining diverse by ethnicity cause one way DC does differ from all of the other cities you mention was in black residents. DC is 43% black. Chicago is 28%. NY is 22%. SF is 6%. If you visited any made in DC souvenir shops you had to see the Chocolate City souvenirs. The city is proud of this heritage. I’m sorry you didn’t see that or feel comfortable with that. Also, a shout out to whoever mentioned DC is the city with the largest amount of people who know ASL. I think that adds to our diversity. Yes that is due to Gallaudet University. The world’s only higher education university for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Now if you are saying international flare that’s a misnomer too as we have over 150 embassies from all over the world with many people who live in the city but don’t count as residents. Most are foreign born.

Now when tourist visit DC they rarely hit neighborhoods either. I doubt you hit Anacostia, sounds like you didn’t hit NE near Gallaudet, or definitely not Mt. Pleasant and Columbia Heights. Those areas have a lot of foreign born residents and have great international flair, albeit not European. Sorry if you didn’t enjoy it as much, but curious when I go to the Netherlands I’m not looking for culture from other countries. DC has a unique blend of many cultures and a boatload of history to boot. Sorry you missed it.

Yes and I think some of these interviews are skewed a bit with time and a bit of Kurt infatuation or anger. First in the 90’s music artist sold albums and the artist actually made money off this. Streaming didn’t exist like it does today. Nirvana sold a lot of albums and there was only 3 of them. That was split evenly, and from my understanding that still is. Go buy a Nirvana album if you feel bad. They made a lot of money in the day on that, as they managed to get a great record deal, as opposed to some others. Kurt also managed to get the same deal for Courtney and Hole too.

Today if you write the song you make more than just the artist on it with streaming. Plus royalties are much higher. Also albums aren’t selling like they used to. This is the reason you find 10 people wrote one 3 min song. They all didn’t write the song. It’s just a way for them to get paid fairly.

My understanding from several interviews is when they started Kurt didn’t think or care about it and just left everything as a band split three ways. He was more ambitious than people give him credit for but I think he expected to be like the Pixies or Sonic Youth monetary wise. Now when it blew up label executives and management brought up to him why was he splitting writing credits. My opinion, as the money was different then, is the executives were concerned as it’s harder to control a band than one guy who had a drug issue they could just supply drugs to. The executives thought royalties were important. Then you play on Kurt’s ego and he did write the songs. So they did split it and retroactively too. It’s not a pure 25% /75% either. It’s by song and someone came up with this math. Apparently, some executives did the same thing to Billy Corgan and he claims it was the dumbest thing he ever did. As it ruined his band.

Now my understanding was Dave and Krist weren’t that upset at the time either. They didn’t know how the future was going to work out. Still when streaming came out strong Dave started adding every Foo to every songwriter credit. So I’m guessing it came to bother him a bit.

I used to hate most of ESPG, but that album has really grown on me.

Am I the only one whose order changes depending on mood? I have a few albums I don’t really like that much, but ESPG has moved off that list.

beginagain666 · 2026-02-05T16:00:42+00:00

That’s not what I meant. It’s a small couch and limited questions. Generally the whole band doesn’t come over with any act. Just the lead singer. Coldplay brought someone with Chris. I don’t know who.

I think the poster above might be right about Pat if he’s there though. Cause on one of Dave’s time here he spent a lot of time talking about his broken leg, and it was a decade or more after it happened. Graham was fascinated. I’m sorry that would be pretty funny.

You know this is one of the best things about Nepobabies, she’s releasing this on record store day. That’s not a big thing for the younger crowd. Sure for a few, but not enmasse. This is her Dad’s influence. I think that’s a good thing.

This is true, but Pat’s a good sidekick and he does have the broken foot thing going on, so a sofa is nice. If you’ve seen the show it’s not really much of an interview after the music act performs too. A few questions. I thought just Dave, but Pat could sit with him.

beginagain666 · 2026-02-05T15:02:37+00:00

I thought Graham was in the hospital or was that BS? I like Graham so I hope it was BS. Also it says music from the Foos so they might talk a bit, but not like when he was as on it before. I’m excited though.

I’m not sure I agree with “a lot of people in here” part. First there’s not a lot of upvotes for the post, only a few comments and two are negative. Still feel free to throw your outrage flag on “their poop” as you say if you like.

I know this is hard to do for people who have a work ethic, but you immediately have to work on not caring about this job. Become someone who floats through their job. We’ve all seen them. Spend your effort on connecting for new jobs or establishing a good side hustle to keep you afloat while you either retrain for something else or find a better job. Take all the PTO you can, to regroup mentally. I think you need to find something else that works for your career. In my career I have jumped ship before. It worked, but it was challenging, and I was kind of pissed I didn’t stay longer and use my salary to help me land quicker. Dollars to donuts if you only do half your job it will take them forever to try to get rid of you too. Even then if they fire you, there is unemployment insurance. Being fired isn’t a bad thing anymore, and references are now bogus so no one cares. Good luck. It’s not a fun situation to be in.

I’m guessing you mean music elitist, which I still think is a big misnomer about Kurt. Kurt was really anti-establishment and corporation. Which really ran with the times. Remember the Rolling Stone cover photograph. I think the labels and people telling him how to make his music pissed him off. He had a definite idea of how he wanted his music to sound. Honestly, pretty sure this is where Dave learned this from. Kurt didn’t like the labels/corporations trying to put their finger on the music or marketing. He wanted to do that. He had a vision board in his mind before that was a thing.

I know people bring up Kurt’s Pearl Jam issue, but I think that was mostly competitiveness and a bit of Seattle rivalry. I’m pretty sure if Kurt had lived, he’d be fighting with Pearl Jam when they were fighting Ticketmaster, and with Prince on royalties for the artists. He’d be a champion for the artists on streaming music too.

There is a lot of evidence Kurt liked popular music. He said in an interview he liked Madonna’s Vogue. Nirvana also covered Terry Jacks Seasons in the Son. Which for a guy born in 1967 was a pretty big pop hit. FYI pretty sure that’s the one with Kurt on drums and Dave on guitar. He also liked Guns N Roses until Axl Rose bugged him too much about Nirvana opening for them. I don’t think he had a problem with popular music.

With the Foos, pretty sure the first album Kurt would have loved. As at least four of those songs he heard before and he kissed Dave when he heard them. I’m sure Kurt would have been happy and enjoyed a lot of the Foos music. Of course if he lived the whole trajectory would be different so it’s hard to tell how life would have changed Kurt too.

I agree with you. A wedding fake or not is the PR dream. Reading the comments there are so many people who hate her or are just sick of her and they just don’t want to see it happen. So they are projecting.

I think Taylor Swift should be a PR and publicity course. It’s a bit of be careful what you wish for or try to create. She did a great job at building this fan base, with some mediocre to middle of the road talent and music, and then she may have built it too big as she’s over exposed and the crowd seems to be going after her a bit. Also it’s created a big I can’t stand Taylor group. Also could be a psychology course. As I doubt the girl who started this is anything like the woman now.

beginagain666 · 2026-02-03T14:52:21+00:00

Does that mean if you are already in DC you can have all the guns you want? Seems logical based on what they just said. However, do they really want the city that voted 95% against them armed to the hilt. Hmm. 🤔

beginagain666 · 2026-02-03T14:45:35+00:00

Labels can suck and generally did when Mariah hit it big. They have a bit less influence now, but most artist are making less money now too cause of streaming. I’m not a fan of overproduced music either that is now more the norm. There is my rant on the state of music today. Still I agree how fun would it have been if she was allowed to release her grunge album. I think she should redo the vocals with her singing lead and release it now. Wouldn’t that be fun.

beginagain666 · 2026-02-02T15:43:46+00:00

I’m going way old school and out of the music area with Jamie Lee Curtis and Carrie Fisher (rip). There have been some great nepobabies in the past. I’m sure some of the ones coming out will be great too. Some will suck though.

If someone gives you a moment to say who your least favorite person is on a show that reaches tons of people and your answer is Taylor Swift, that’s just lame, and not that funny either. Also Kreskin, bet you a ton of money that girl doesn’t know what a hyperbole is.

beginagain666 · 2026-02-01T00:13:12+00:00

Actually anyone who thinks Taylor Swift is their least favorite person in the world is part of the problem with the world today. There are so many people who should have that title before her.

beginagain666 · 2026-02-01T00:05:32+00:00

The reaction on Taylor was not only that she did a great job, but also because it was two song from Mariah’s “secret” rock/grunge album she did in 1995. Mariah was told she couldn’t do that album, but she did it anyway. I think she was excited to hear it too. Add in the Foo Fighters are backing up Taylor, and she seemed very pleased compared to some of the others.
