I hope you all like this one. I thought it was beautiful and true, a new explanation of the source (or perhaps the destination) of desperation. Not political at all, except maybe subliminally.
His writing is like skat singing.
It is initially interesting, but it means nothing.
Pretty seedy place these days. No one brings it up here. They should go 100% nuclear for power. Yucca mountain is nearby if they would ever start it up again-2025?
“Think of Las Vegas as Nassau in the Bahamas in the 18th century. “
...sounds right...
Let the water flow to Mexico. Might have to ‘pump it over’ the dam as taking it out eliminates future options. That is if there’s any water left. Build aqueduct from northern states w/pumps. Mississippi water has been mentioned-absurd.
No, I’m not a dope smoker, but I am a Pink Floyd fan, even if far-left Roger Waters wrote those lyrics.
I speculate that if it wasn’t for the Cuban Revolution, Havana would have made Vegas obsolete.
We were crossing into the Twilight I looked at my sister who was sitting next to me in the backseat and I said “tonight’s the night we see the UFO” and she screamed at me. Dad told me to stop it...
And when the waster stop flowing, you up shist creek.
Yea
I liked them all. The best ones were the first two. I can live with the third one and will watch it if it is on.
“No, I’m not a dope smoker, but I am a Pink Floyd fan, even if far-left Roger Waters wrote those lyrics.”
...just wondering... not sure I can call myself a Pink Floyd fan myself, since I only ever listened to two albums, Dark Side and Wish You Were Here... and it’s been AGES...
“if it wasn’t for the Cuban Revolution, Havana would have made Vegas obsolete.”
...ever seen Blue Skies, with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire? Check it out... C U in C U B A!!! Good for what ails ya...
“Maybe it’s the Endocet talking”
Yeah, I’d agree with that.
I read the whole thing. I liked the part about his wanting to write different things or in a different way but wondering if there would be any readers! Sort of like a band’s writing new material and finding the audience only wants their old stuff.
Actually I think ol’ Bugs cited those very things as a reason to build. The funny part is that he figured it would all be legit.
It exist for stupid people to donate their hard earned money to billionaires!!!!
Every large American city is a transportation hub with a seaport or on a river except Las Vegas. It was, however a railroad hub. That’s why it initially existed. How it got big was Federalism. Before the progressive notion that everywhere in the US had to be the same. Gambling was illegal in CA and Bugsy Siegal saw opportunity.
it was 4 hours away from George AFB in Victorville, CA., in the days of the Jimmy Carter 55mph only on highways!!
In the early days it had water for people traveling west.
They added whiskey and gambling later on.
