BBC/The Lid ^ | 10/22/09 | The Lid

Posted on 10/22/2009 12:54:22 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

There is torture and there is Torture. THIS IS WORSE THAN WATER BOARDING ! Horrible Horrible War Crimes !

The United States forces have been torturing terrorists by making them listen to things like, OMG its hard to say, THE BARNEY THEME SONG !! You know, "I love you, you love me..." They have also been forcing to them to listen to the Meow Mix theme song and some of REM's "Greatest" hits. Oh my how horrible. I can tell you from experience that those songs have been torturing American Parents for YEARS !

To protect their music from being used for "torture" rock bands including Pearl Jam and REM have joined a coalition of musicians to support the US president's efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay prison.

REM - making a career out of TOTALLY ripping off The Byrds sound.

What kind of torture? Do they make people listen to REM or Pearl Jam? If so, I concur.

IMO, Crosby, Pills, Hash and Bong ripped off the Byrds more than R.E.M.

Everything R.E.M. has put out since Green in 1988 has been pure torture...

I don’t know. 15 minutes of “Meow, meow, meow, meow” would drive anyone nuts.

OK OK. The bass player from Pearl Jam was recently robbed at gunpoint outside of Southern Tracks Studios here in Atlanta. You can still Youtube the surveilance footage of his punk little a$$ running away.

That panty waste is not fit to offer advice on how to protect this country.

Low blow? Yea, maybe, but that’s what they’re doing to the troops with this statement, so I could care less.

Well Crosby was a Byrd but Roger McGuinn was really the group not Crosby. Early REM sounded a lot like the Byrds.

Well, smart enough to not say things like that until the get extremely rich off the peasants. They start believing their own pr. I guess it’s time for folks to scratch their CDs off their Christmas list.

That’s funny, after listening to REM or Pearl Jam for any length of time, I’ve felt like I’ve been tortured.

It’s all Obama’s fault.

In other news, US investigators promise to use REM and Pearl Jam records as part of their new terrorist deprogramming methods....

Except for one or two songs, R.E.M sucks big time anyhow. They would certainly know torture when they hear it.

Most of my RR listening selection today are the Ramones. RIP Johnny.

Noriega was driven from his hole by constant full blast replays of Tull’s “Too Old To Rock And Roll, Too Young To Die”.
