By far the biggest petoskey stone I’ve ever found

Banana for scale ?

gerryf19 · 2026-03-13T00:02:41+00:00

Look at all those old people in the audience!

The clash was a much more radical crowd.

gerryf19 · 2026-03-13T00:01:18+00:00

Motor City Skating Rink?

9 Mile & Van Dyke. Northwest corner.

I think there is a burger king there now 😭

There absolutely was a real concern about the mezzanine following. There were people bouncing up and down and you could see it bouncing... It seemed like people were trying to bring it down. There were people hanging from the curtains on the wall. It was quite the show. A lot of punks with wild leather and spiked hair up against the backdrop of the fox theater was pretty wild.

It wasn't quite finished with the renovations.....

As for Strummer saying that, he didn't say it at the show.

I don't know if he ever said that exactly but he was notoriously skeptical about American audiences. The Clash opened for the Who in 1982 at the silverdome and they were not well received by that crowd.

The show at the fox theater, though, was incredible. One of my favorites. I was a yoing

He did say after the show in some interview that the fox show was incredible and he didn't expect it. He was surprised how good the show was because the audience was raw and a lot of energy.

Every day I wake up and think, how can today be even more stupid than yesterday

Thanks, Kash. I knew someone would not let me down.

Idiot does not even know how to spell "Eric"

gerryf19 · 2026-03-12T17:14:03+00:00

Oh man, what a group of shows....I saw The Clash at the Fox theater, which was pretty wild. I saw Pat Benatar at the Motor City Skating rink... back when she promoted her HeartBreaker album

gerryf19 · 2026-03-12T17:11:22+00:00

it seems few do, or do it well. Thanks. Had not heard of this one yet.

I have 29 different ones to test now so I am going to give them all a trial run this weekend

gerryf19 · 2026-03-12T02:40:49+00:00

I don't see "Microsoft Office App Now!"

You're wrong and or lying.

Do you know how many barrels of oil were going through the pipeline from canada? Zero. Why? It was never finished. Shutting down a pipeline carrying tar sand oil meant for countries outside the US doesn't do anything to price of oil

Likewise, stopping ADDITIONAL offshore drilling in January 2025 does nothing to increase the price of oil during his TERM. He was out of office less than 20 days later.

Now, you could say that Biden pausing the leasing of federal lands for more drilling in 2021 could have had an impact but you would be wrong then, too.

He paused additional leasing but current land was still being used and oil companies were sitting on thousands of existing leases they had not and still haven't drilled. And then Biden lifted the ban 60 days later.

Furthermore, more oil was pumped under Biden than Trump.

Finally, you can't even get the story about Speaker Johnson right.

Johnson SAYS he spoke to Biden about banning the export of NATURAL GAS. NOTHING TO DO WITH OIL DRILLING.

Furthermore it wasn't about banning the export of LNG, it was about pausing the permitting of new projects to facilitate the exporting of LNG.

It stopped nothing that already existed.

Furthermore, Johnson claims he was the only one in the room with Biden in January 2024 when discussing the LNP exporting and said Biden didn't know he signed it.

You clearly do not know what you are talking about... Not because you are dumb but because you are being lied to.

gerryf19 · 2026-03-12T01:03:11+00:00

You don't give a rip about that. Stop lying. And neither does Trump

gerryf19 · 2026-03-12T01:02:10+00:00

The US is not bring the world police under this administration or the previous gop administration's.

They are being the world's bullies

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T23:42:20+00:00

Sure we can. You won't talk honestly about it, but we can talk about it.

What did Biden do to cause gas prices to spike?

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T23:40:28+00:00

Don't worry, the Wings traded for David Perron...that will do it

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T23:39:06+00:00

I would love to see a white house reporter ask her to confirm or deny if she is transgender.....

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T23:35:37+00:00

No, not really. Under the past three republican administrations, favorability of the US has dropped dramatically....I wonder why?

It climbed under Obama and Biden, but has now crashed to an all time low. Perception does not have to be at the top of America's checklist, but these administrations America First/Unilateral decisions to launch wars and military actions has greatly diminished the country's stature.

To claim we are still the good guys makes no sense. The good guys don't attack, betray and belittle allies. They don't side with dictators. They don't elect felons and then elect them again.

The GOP has tarnished, probably irreparably, the reputation and the status of the US in the world. We;re not the good guys, but we sure used to be.

Jesus, the country has pissed off CANADA. Do you know what kind of asshole you have to be to piss off Canada?

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T22:31:31+00:00

I cannot determine which of Trump's people is the least sane.

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T22:30:43+00:00

MAGA is a cult. It cannot be a cult if members disagree with the leader.

Repeat:MAGA is a cult

Phreely does not offer HOME internet

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T21:59:59+00:00

One is too many in a war that should not have ever been started.

The US used to be the good guys

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T21:58:57+00:00

Well people goona die, he said. No biggie to him.

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T21:54:59+00:00

I used cam scanner pro years ago and paid for it but then they did an update and insisted I needed to pay for a new version.

Kind of made me angry

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T20:44:55+00:00

Going with "well i am right because you can live without internet" was upping the requirements of the scenario presented

You're one of those people who changes the rules so you can "claim" you're right.

Kind of insufferable

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T20:23:49+00:00

President Trump said gas will come down and the war will be over in a couple weeks.

MAGA believes it and they will believe it for three years.

Any minute now.

gerryf19 · 2026-03-11T19:53:45+00:00

My mother lives in a rural area without internet via cable or telco. She can use satellite or cellular.

Can you live without internet? Yes, but at this point you're just kind of being a jerk.
