"Let us go away together, away from the anger and imperatives of men. There will be only two of us, and we shall linger through long afternoons of sweet retirement. In the evenings I shall read to you while you work your cross-stitching by the firelight. And then we shall go to bed, our bed, my dearest girl."
Had anything to do with the way Mary turned out ;)
I think it's a generational thing. Many of those who post at FR don't "get", like, or understand metal music, therefore it must be crap (and there is a lot of it that is). However, because of this position a guy like Ozzy will never get a chance. Different is just that - different - not evil, but the small minds will always insist it is.
But to a degree I see your point.
You're kidding? I cannot believe that NBC would show this. What a difference between the two men. This is great! Thanks for the good news.
I'm not laughing.
I think he's Ozzy.
You don't say? Thanks for enlightening me.
>>He is a regualr guy that likes rock and roll and joking around with people (celebrities included). He's not Jesus Christ. He's the President of the United States. He promises to not get blow jobs from interns or let Markie Post and Linda Bloodworth-Thomason jump on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom or let staff hang out in the Oval Office in sweatpants eating pizza while they have bull sessions with the president. He is bringing dignity to the WH-- he's not supposed to cleanse America of its culture.<<
I hope you didn't bust a blood vessel with your rant. Now, I reinforce what I said earlier. GWB will evidently do anything for a vote, up to and including compromising conservative principles (i.e.: makeing Swiss cheese of our borders, signing unconstitutional legislation that rolls over the First Amendment rights of all Americans, hypocritically telling Israel not to defend itself from terrorism, thereby putting the lie to the so-called "Bush Doctrine" (insert laugh here)...but hey, so long as he has Ozzy or Eminem there for a photo-op, that's what's important, right?
Get bent.
I agree, perhaps the GOP should attempt to get younger voters for a change.
The lyrics seem pretty ambiguous to me and open to interpretation. And suicide is a subject that should not be treated ambiguously, especially in a "product" aimed at teens:
Suicide Solution
Wine is fine
But whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle drain your sorrows
Candied thoughts await tomorrows Evil thoughts and evil doings
Cold, alone you hang in ruins
Thought that you'd escape the reaper
You can't escape the master keeper
'Cause you feel life's unreal and you're living a lie
Such a shame who's to blame and you're wondering why
Then you ask from your cask is there life after birth
What you saw can mean hell on this earth
Now you live inside a bottle
The reaper's traveling at full throttle
It's catching you but you don't see
The reaper is you and the reaper is me
Breaking laws, knocking doors
But there's no one at home
Made your bed, rest your head
But you lie there and moan
Where to hide,
suicide is the only way out
Don't you know what it's really about
Considering that "f––––" is what MTV is all about, it does seem kind of strange that they would bleep the word out. Or maybe it's par for the course. "Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue."
On the other hand, it could be so sacred a word in the MTV religion that no one dare speak it.
