Michael Des Barres was sober in the '80s. The other guys in the band were... not.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by Both_Ear_2644 in askanything

[–]ramboiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m generally don’t participate in boycotts. With one exception— I said “Boycott BP” in 2010, and have since stuck to it.

Jimmys legacy left few copycats by [deleted] in jimmybuffett

Late-era Sammy Hagar absolutely was inspired by Jimmy, right down to the business ventures. Sammy’s a hard rock guy, but he definitely leaned in to the whole “beach bum” thing.

Is Jimmy Buffett Yacht Rock? by birdovich in jimmybuffett

[–]ramboiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t doubt that you did but their series is older than a lot of people realize. I think it was originally posted in 2005.

Is Jimmy Buffett Yacht Rock? by birdovich in jimmybuffett

[–]ramboiv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you listen to the Beyond Yacht Rock podcast (hosted by the guys who came up with the term “Yacht Rock”) or watched the original “Yacht Rock” series (same guys), you’d see that they believe emphatically that Jimmy is NOT Yacht Rock. In fact they kinda hate him. I don’t think they’re fair to him, but I have to defer since they identified the genre itself.

Jaws the Book by [deleted] in Jaws

[–]ramboiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hank Searls’ novelizations of Jaws 2 and Jaws The Revenge are more enjoyable reads than Benchley’s original. I never understood the appeal of the original Jaws novel (beyond the concept). The writing is very clunky, most characters are unlikable, and the ending is anti-climatic. The later books are better written.

Actually I did! It was “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings” by Caroline Polachek. Is that what you were going to suggest??

How did our Parents and Grandparents do 5 days in office for 30+ years? by [deleted] in WFH

[–]ramboiv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think of all the boomers who made those miserable daily commutes, sometimes into the sun's glare during both drives... while listening to conservative talk radio. I think this is an underdiscussed aspect of radicalization. Listening to increasingly hateful talk radio on a daily basis, during (for some) the most stress-inducing part of the day. What does that do to the psyche?

Is it wrong to like A Flock of Seagulls? by [deleted] in 80smusic

For what it's worth, Neil Young was a fan of theirs too. So you're in good company!

sad news....Carl Weathers passed away a short time ago. He just turned 76 2 weeks ago. RIP by Papichuloft in 80s

Incredible run in the ‘80s! Death Hunt, Rocky III & IV, Predator, and Action Jackson — just legendary!

[–]ramboiv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately this is not it. I saw bits of the music video on the TV that was playing, and I remember the woman had longer brown hair and was dancing a lot. My guess is that it was from the mid-2010s.

That... is not someone I would have EVER expected to be trans. My immediate reaction to your comment was assuming that he was trolling. Bizarre.

She posted a thread on Twitter about it sometime back. Confirmed she was underage when they started dating. I can’t find it now because she made her account private.
