I'm going to pick 4 for starters that are in different decades but for the time frame were the best in My opinion/era/Genre. I don't care what type of music but this Thread is (hopefully) going to be about Stringed Instrument Solo, meaning only 1 person on the Instrument. 1) Eddie Van Halen born Edward Lodewijk Van Halen Van Halen Eruption (Live)Trivia note: Eddie made his Guitars one of these was named Frankenstrat 2) James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix) National Anthem U.S.A (Woodstock 1969) I know this one may offend/upset some FReepers due to the song being...

I love Walt Whitman's phrase "democracy ma femme". Kylie Minogue is harder to make out for me. On the basis of her statement "With one man, there was a freedom and liberation. That was with Michael Hutchence, my partner in life." I feel I can call Australia's somewhat democratic Pop Princess Kylie Minogue a Woman for Freedom. Who agrees?

In this war there are only two sides: the Tao and the Machine, God or Satan. You have to choose, but choose wisely.

So-called “pride” clothing for kids from a transgender designer who sells Satan-themed products? Where did all of this come from? Clearly, American corporations are transmission belts for satanism and communism. But the communists exported Cultural Marxism to the United States. Many conservatives do not understand this.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would be "welcoming" of a measure from Congress to defund the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) if he's elected president next year. The comments from DeSantis, who officially announced this week that he would seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, came during a conversation with radio host and Second Amendment advocate Dana Loesch on The Dana Show. During the interview, DeSantis was asked whether he would sign a measure from Congress to abolish the IRS through funding means, as well as what he would replace the system with. "Are you for a fair tax,...

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are demanding an FBI briefing on the status of their January 6 Pipe Bomb Investigation following disclosures that the feds have enough information to identify a suspect. In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fla.) said the slow progression of the Bureau’s investigation into the pipe bombs “raises significant concerns about the FBI’s prioritization of that case in relation to other January 6 investigations.”

Twilight star Rachelle Lefevre accused Target of 'trying to erase' the LGBTQ community, including her non-binary seven-year-old, after her local store moved their Pride merchandise display to the back. Lefevre, 44, - who played Victoria in the franchise's second movie, New Moon - took to her Instagram to call out Target, which has received massive backlash for the new line which includes 'tuck-friendly' swimwear. 'I just walked into Target and where you see all these lovely swimsuits, that's where the Pride display used to be,' the mother-of-two said.

A new study found a pro-inflammatory diet is associated with an increased risk of relapse in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The researchers found a more pro-inflammatory diet is associated with a higher risk of relapses and more inflammatory brain lesions for MS patients in the years following their first disease attack. MS is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation that can damage nerve cells. A pro-inflammatory diet as per the study includes foods containing high amounts of fats and proteins. These foods are thought to drive chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation that could affect the course of MS. The...

Joe Biden’s “climate czar” John Kerry is calling for farmers to stop growing food in order to meet the administration’s radical “net zero” goals for lowering “emissions.” Kerry, Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, issued the warning during a green agenda conference in Washington D.C. During the Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) AIM for Climate Summit, Kerry told the audience that “we can’t get to net zero, we won’t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.” Kerry warned attendees that his and other world leaders’ “lives depend” on farmers ceasing their operations. Stopping...

All three evening news broadcasts Thursday ignored the United States Supreme Court ruling against the Biden administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and sharply limited its powers to regulate wetlands. It was a big win for property rights in the United States and a stinging defeat for the unelected bureaucrats at the EPA. Since that was the case, it's unsurprising that the "big three" evening news broadcasts of ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News would ignore the story. Instead, news about a recent shark attack (ABC & CBS), and another segment on recently deceased singer Tina...

Following an Associated Press/NORC poll in April which indicated that only 26% of Democrats want Joe Biden to run for a second term as president, a recent CNN poll conducted by SSRS now shows that 66% of all Americans (not just Republicans) believe that another four years of Biden could lead to 'disaster.' Even CNN can't dismiss the "horrible news" any longer."Horrible news. Horrible for Joe Biden." 😂 Not even CNN can spin the results of their own Joe Biden poll. pic.twitter.com/JeeLnAbr5S — Young Americans for Liberty (@YALiberty) May 26, 2023The reasons behind this massive decline in support vary. Biden's...

Governor Ron DeSantis is standing up for everyday Americans, which helps explain why people of all races are moving to Florida in droves...These days headlines read like parodies, which is certainly the case with the NAACP’s recent announcement that it has issued “a formal travel advisory for the state of Florida.” That’s right: The NAACP isn’t particularly worried about black people visiting North Korea, Iran, or inner-city neighborhoods in Chicago. It’s worried about them heading to Florida’s beaches or amusement parks. Why? Because Governor Ron DeSantis has led “unrelenting attacks on fundamental freedoms” such as the freedom to teach critical...

The conspiracy between a corrupt set of bureaucracies (including the Justice Department, the IRS, and the intelligence community) and an equally corrupt and enabling elite media is astonishing. The Durham Report is just one more confirmation of the devastating level of dishonesty and manipulation which have characterized the last few years.Some analysts believe the open corruption can be traced back to Lois Lerner and the IRS scandal, in which she clearly stonewalled conservative organizations from getting tax status. When she was found to be in contempt of Congress, the Obama Justice Department spent two years ignoring the congressional contempt charge...

At least 25 motorcycles were seen following the ambulances headed to Holy Cross Medical Center. One victim was seen being rolled to an ambulance on a stretcher,...

California's movie industry is as woke as all of California. However California seems powerless to resist slitting their own throats if it has anything to do with guns.

Is Biden targeting white republicans' small businesses the same way Stalin targeted the Kulaks during the holodomor? Biden is not only targeting small business truckers, he is also targeting family farms By Ezequiel Doiny On April 17, 2023 Madeline Coggins wrote in Fox Business "The trucking industry is sounding the alarm on consequential ripple effects of the Biden administration's latest move in the electric vehicle push. While critics have voiced concerns about the EPA's recent emissions regulations, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), a trade organization that represents small business truckers, warns the restrictions are dangerous and threaten small businesses...

Illegal immigrants are coached to voluntarily withdraw their asylum claims, return to Mexico, and then return to the United States on humanitarian grounds, according to a U.S. Border Patrol union leader. Manny Bayon, a National Border Patrol Council union spokesman in San Diego, told The Epoch Times on May 26 that migrants who enter the United States illegally in Yuma, Arizona, are being bused to the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa ports of entry in San Diego County. From there, he said, they are returned to Mexico but are allowed to re-enter the United States by applying for “humanitarian parole”...
