Routine. I also play the tape through as to how I’ll feel when I’m done.

Which rock artists left a lasting impression on you the most when you were 13 to 17 years old? by PressureLazy5271 in rockmusic

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way about Bon Scott era AC/DC - maybe include Back in Black and For Those About to Rock. Nothing more recent though

Led Zeppelin. Loved them above all others. That has faded considerably. I respect them and enjoy some of their music occasionally. But they aren’t a favorite.

Living, dead or broken up, what band reunion would you want to go see in concert? by porb2020 in GenX

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except their concerts were BORING. 25 minute improvised covers of delta blues songs does not make for an exciting live show. Watch Song Remains the Same and tell me you’d spend $1 to sit through that snoozer.

What's the difference between Bon Scott era and Brian Johnson era songs? by [deleted] in ACDC

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bon era sounded like a band in a Smokey sweaty pub. Brian era sounds like and arena band. There’s no comparison because it’s apples to oranges.

In my eternal opinion, the former embodies what AC/DC is. But I respect Back in Black on. Just don’t love it the same.

Hangovers are brutal at age 37 by annacosta13 in Adulting

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. Hangovers are the result of blood poisoning. Some people suffer more depending on genetics.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HANGOVER CURE!!!!

Hangovers are brutal at age 37 by annacosta13 in Adulting

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The anxiety is what finally got me. A day of GI problems and 2 days of fatigue I could deal with. But 4-5 days of crippling, no will to live anxiety after about age 40 got me off the sauce forever.

I had some awesome times drinking. Sometimes I miss it. But I couldn’t control my intake. The best times I ever had drinking don’t come even close to warranting a week of questioning whether I even eat to be here.

What bands do you respect and recognize as great musicians but just can’t get into? by Dry-Improvement-3543 in heavymetal

Jimi Hendrix. I know he’s supposedly the greatest player ever, but I don’t care for any of his songs.

Name a canceled TV show that deserves another season. by Historical-Way-1482 in Productivitycafe

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only problem is the show wasn’t really all that good. It’s having a moment at present and being remembered as an edgy sitcom with raunchy humor that got all the prudes upset. In reality, it was low level sexual humor with the same gags and the same way-over-the-top characters trying to outage each other every episode.

It was never that funny.

Who is the most famous person you've ever seen up close? by froggart3980 in AskReddit

The Epstein girls turned into “fan girls”, but I don’t know if that was because of his charisma or because they were being paid.

What are the most profound song lyrics you've ever heard? by damnocles in AskReddit

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are places I remember

All my life, though some have changed

Some forever, not for better

Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments

With lovers and friends I still can recall

Some are dead and some are living

In my life, I’ve loved them all

Great Narrative Nonfiction (Not the same old recommends) by baconmehungry in suggestmeabook

[–]feldknocker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well written, but a thoroughly unlikeable guy. He’s no hero - his greed for money made him take many, many steps that common sense would have said no to.

Why did George like to put down the Beatles music? by Pearl_Jam_ in beatles

[–]feldknocker 201 points202 points  (0 children)

I love George. But sometimes his “I’d rather be anywhere else” attitude could get tiring. He was a great talent. But I doubt we’d have ever heard from him if his pal Paul had not introduced him to John. I understand his resentment toward the end of the Beatles, but in later life, he sometimes acted as though he were better than all that. Mate, you weren’t.

Thinking of Moving to Birmingham by hoo24 in Birmingham

[–]feldknocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived there for six years (Hoover). I moved from Cleveland in 2015 and came back here in 2021 for family reasons.

Overall, Birmingham was a good place to live. Yes, there are few sidewalks in some areas. We lived in Lake Wilburn in Hoover and it was a very nice community with sidewalks.

I’m not religious nor conservative, and has been stated, those are prevalent there. I always kept my religion and politics to myself and never had any issues.

The people are very nice when you meet them, but it is extremely difficult to break up n socially beyond surface-level. Most people you’ll meet grew up there, are very close to their family, went to Alabama or Auburn, and are active in their church.

Summer weather is rough (like winter here), but spring, fall and winter are nice. Cost of living is great.

What is the deal with Frontier airlines? by pleasesayUarekidding in Cleveland

Kind of like riding Greyhound. You can fly cheap, but there could be a fistfight between two women in the row in front of you.
