“It’s always about race”

It is when there is no other valid argument

I read somewhere that after a 5 year period of not writing anything new, the late John Lennon was inspired to create new music when he heard “Sailing” by Cris Cross in 1979. The next year, 1980, John produced his last work; Double Fantasy, under the ‘guidance’ of his wife, Yoko.

To this day, no one has ‘explained’ that photo.

John also liked Reagan, which could not have made Yoko happy.

As Dennis Leary said, “What kind of country is this where John Lennon gets six bullets in the chest, and Yoko is standing next to him, and not one effing bullet? Explain that to me!”

Yep. Perpetually unhappy. The typical liberal state of mind. And they live in a narcissistic delusion of thinking they can solve fallen humankind’s problems by passing ineffective laws and spending outrageous amounts of money with no accountability for results.

No wonder they are perpetually unhappy. But they bring it on themselves all the while blaming others.

I’m slowly becoming George Wallace. The strange thing is that they’re doing all the work for me.

I did some searching on it. It certainly was a strange choice.

What Ian Anderson said:

Ian Anderson: The hot ticket was Metallica, in this newly introduced category of Hard Rock/ Metal. I was told by our record company, by the then-head of Chrysalis in the USA, not to bother going, which is a euphemism for: “We’re not going to pay your air fare or get you a hotel, because we don’t think you’re going to win.”

It was assumed that we would not win because we were up against Metallica and Iggy Pop and Jane’s Addiction. So we were definitely the odd ones out, because we were more commonly thought of as a folk rock band, certainly not hard rock or heavy metal.

There are a lot of truly talented musicians of various races I love to hear.

Beyoncé and JayZ aren’t among them. It’s just a lot of 3-chord mainstream pop, IMO.

When Beyonce tour mania is in the news, I think that maybe I am missing something. So I go to YouTube to listen to a few of her recent tunes.

They are always utter crap. She puts on a bombastic show for the rubes. With many dancers on stage. These dumb videos are hard to look at.

And how about J-Zee? He has not toured for years. He is a business mogul these days. He should stop bitching and buy his wife a Grammy. Since a Grammy for B means so much to him. (But really J-Z couldnt care less. This clown likes to make racial accusations) (to give him mo’ street cred with his dumb homies)

“”It tells me something about these people, they will never be happy and will always have a grievance.””

I ran across it looking for something to watch and thought I was looking at a convention of the NAACP...Have to say the whites that WERE there or participating were pretty sad looking representatives of the white race! Can’t figure out what statement any of them think they are making to the rest of the country with their ridiculous outfits and behavior. Can anyone need/want attention that bad? I guess so!!

“”His wife’s Act has gotten old anyway,””

The names were familiar to me but I had no idea one was married to the other...

For some reason, that picture always reminds me of Edgar the Bug:

Kat Williams explained it in an interview with Shannon Sharpe. "If you sign up for their program, you get a light-skinned weird face wife."

Starting at 1:13 in the video.
