   I never saw him live, nor will I. But I think the original band (back when “Alice Cooper” was the band name as well as Vince’s nom de gig) was exceptional; love all the albums they did.

   He was always a cartoon, but after he dumped Dennis, Michael, Glen, and Neil he became a caricature of his cartoon; haven’t liked anything since then.

   Well, that’s almost what he said, “black man” being the altered word.

   And it was accurate. Here’s how gun control became the great logical disconnect in US politics. Part of the reason for the 2nd Amendment was to safeguard the other rights. (I will pause here for explanation: 60 years ago the following would have been center & mid- to far-right, now it’s mid-right & fascist – but for ease of understanding I will go with party names, which will not affect the accuracy of the narrative.)

   As the Dems are largely in favor of individual freedom, and the Reps are opposed to it, one would expect the Rs to push for gun control and the Ds to oppose it – and that was the case. Some young black men in Oakland, tired of official beatings and murders in their community, researched and found they had every right to carry loaded weapons and shadow the murderous po-po.

   The Rs heard of this & said “What?? You mean those n-words can have guns???? We’uns gots to stop this!”

   They started pushing for gun control, and the Ds stood for the Constitution.

   Then Sen. Kennedy & Dr. king were killed, and Ds reacted with their hearts instead of of their heads, saying “Oh, we must get rid of those awful guns!” And the Rs, being reactionaries, reacted: “Well, if’n they’s fer it, we’uns is agin it!”

   And gun control lost it’s logical and ideological underpinnings – but it started as, and still largely is, racist (for example, where were all the RWNJs who defended George Zimmerman & all the cops who shoot unarmed blacks when cops shot a black man for having a gun that he was licensed to carry? Daed silence. Just one example).

   Didn’t offend me one bit; had it been in the right place, I probably would have hit “Like”.

   My 70-y-o big brother chews; has since his teens. Little brother rubbed from teens to his passing at age 62.

   Disgusting. Big bro harangued me into trying his chaw oncde (and only once); though I hard-core nicotine addict myself then, I spat it out in less than 30 seconds, then brushed my teeth 5 or 6 times. Just vile.

   Ah, the old Albert Fish trick! (If you don’t know, Google him – and prepare to be revolted.)

   And by “crack team” you, of course, mean “team of crackheads”.

   I love how the Buckster – a complete moron – has such great trash-talk!

   A JVC; I disremember the model. It – and the Yamaha CA-810 inetgrated amp – are, alas, in their boxes in the attic, as I lost the Infinity Qa speakers & all my vinyl in a sewage back-up.

   Both amp & turntable will need some work to be used again – but some day…….

   I think it was supposed to be a reply to Wlly Blly, above, but Stodgefinn doesn’t know what the “Reply” link means…….

    laugh at people who think the tobacco you shove under your lip is “snuff”; actual snuff is powdered tobacco that you snort.
