With the rise o’ uneducated & illiterate but pragmatic & down-to-earth neofascists & breadtubers my nerdy ass sometimes gets nostalgic for the good ol’ days of out-o’-touch laissy libertarians & so-called liberals — truly hipster atheist & gay conservatives, like the writer of our current subject o’ mockery, Jonathan Rauch, who reject liberalism’s historical radicalism […]

I remember my excitement in April 2006 when I 1st heard “Animal I Have Become” on the radio & learned that, after 3 years & a stint in rehab for the lead singer I hadn’t heard ’bout till just then, the band who made 1 o’ my favorite albums @ the time were releasing a […]

Sevendust was not a band I thought ’bout much in my youth. Yes, I did hear songs like “Enemy”, “Face to Face”, & “Prodigal Son” on the radio & I think I did check out their greatest hits album or Seasons from the library. ¿So why am I not doing those albums instead o’ the […]

Hinder is Nickelback, but somehow e’en less interesting, as a’least Nickelback sometimes make songs ’bout prom queens dumping their newborn babies in the trash, whereas I’m pretty sure the most […]
