Onward

I’m sick and I’m stressed.  Count yourself lucky not to be hearing from me right now.

Did you…want to learn it properly before we make it the official language?

yeah, I’m normally more restrained than that.  What can I say, someone needs to do some swearing.

I bought the Guns’n'Roses Live Era double CD.  Now, anyone who knows GNR has to be aware that Axl Rose swears about every third word.  Though I don’t prefer my music with foul language, when it’s GNR I accept it.  Axl is effing brilliant, and I’m not going to let some scary words chase me from his music.

One would hope that anyone picking up a GNR CD would know what they were getting into.  And if not, there’s that sticker, right?  That one that I’ve kept with every GNR tape, CD or whatever I’ve bought, the one that warns of explicit lyrics ’cause damn it, that’s how Axl sings.

Except, on this one, I didn’t get the sticker.  (okay, I bought it off Amazon.)  But it says, right next to the CD title “Explicit Lyrics.”  It does.  I checked the order.

So why the fuck is my CD censored????  Not only are several of the f-bombs muted or blurred or whatever they do, on Used to Love Her you can barely tell he’s saying “kill!”  On You Could Be Mine, the word “cocaine” is blurred!  What the fucking hell??

This, people, is GUNS ‘N’ ROSES.  The CD liner has copies of playbills from when they were playing clubs, and the shows have names like “Drunk Fux” and “Fresh from Detox.”

For the love of all that’s art, it’s Guns ‘n’ Roses!!  How the hell can you censor GUNS ‘N’ ROSES!!??!!!

Who do I bitch-slap?

He was right after all.

From here:

 ”Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004 (Watch video clip; listen to audio clip)

And I thought he was just being a moron.

I was reading about a report on Tower Seven that’s supposed to come soon.  The article is about whether or not the report will lay to rest conspiracy theories.  (Which…yeah.  Dream on.  Not sayin’ the theories are right or wrong–just that any report coming from the suspected government is gonna be suspect.)

Anyway.  Wandering away from my rampant disgust for certain idiots…  In the comment trail was this:

One has to consider the chain of command were this a government-sponsored act. The sheer number of complicit parties needed would make this impossible without someone having been taken over by the enormity of it and blown the whistle. Conspiracies of silence and lone voices being polished off by the secret services only happpen in Hollywood movies, folks. I guess some people must really struggle to tell the difference between films and real life.

I’m utterly convinced that 9/11 was a tragic day for mankind in which thousands of peple lost their lives because of an audacious and fortuitous terrorist attack, perpetrated by a well-prepared a committed small group.

Okay.  So in one paragraph, he says it would take a huge number of people working together, and in the next he says it was done by a small group?

Dude.  Pick one.
