| Here in St Louis yesterday it was 15 when I took my son to school (around 7:40 AM CST) and by the time I left work at 6 (yay overtime!) it was almost 40. This morning it's about 33. | |

| Except with you all, I don't think I should discuss music online. If you say you don't like something and can articulate why you don't like it, the mob will pounce. I guess I should just embrace that I think some so-called "art" is garbage and that others love it. I don't really have to have an opinion even if asked. I don't have to stick my head up and should just go along with the masses and keep my thoughts to myself. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

I usually just try to say something like "eh, it's just not my thing" rather than what I really want to say which is usually something like "holy cow this is a steaming pile of dog feces, this has to be the worst gaggle of talentless hacks I have ever heard".

I gave up giving negative opinions on music years ago. I can take 'em but I no longer give 'em. I'm with you staybrite. Yesterday our worship team leader mentioned liking Celine Dion. She's talented but I can't stand her music. So what I said was "She's talented, but that's not really a style of music I care for." No one cared and our worship leader was like "I understand." and didn't care. Now when I told some folks I don't like the Beatles, that was a little different... | |

Reading through all this makes me realize that you all are one Motley Crue who probably sniffed too much exhaust fumes while sitting in The Cars parked in your garages.
Easy there Mr. Big! Don't criticize too much - I'll jump on the Grand Funk Railroad to Kansas, go to The Ramones' house, and put you in Dire Straits!
Whoa whoa whoa!!! Don't get into such a Five Iron Frenzy over there. Wanting someone Obliteration is a bit much and chasing them around with a Skillet is frowned upon in some parts. But I'm sure I'm just preaching to The Choir.
Ya'll keep this up and you are going to need a Guardian to protect you. Accept this, and I'll behave like a Saint. If not, I will hit you with a 20 lb. Sledge day and night until the Third Day. You may want to flee to Europe or someplace safe!
Safe? if this gets to the Queen, she's gonna put you in the den of Def Leppards and demand that you change your Worldview. If you don't, then you can KISS your Wish For Eden goodbye... Whatever you do, watch out for the Venom of the Whitesnake. If it gets its teeth in you, you are going to need more than a Tourniquet to keep the Grim Reaper at bay. No Cinderella story here, just pure Poison flooding your body. Next thing you know, the White Lion is dragging your Carcass all the way to the Florida-Georgia Line. | |

| Need to vent this in a place of somewhat anonymity. So this university where my wife and I work pays crap. At best 75% of benchmark. They keep cutting their contributions to retirement and insurance, which essentially means, they cut salaries each year. Now, they are pushing for faculty and staff to actually donate money to the university to improve opportunities for students!!!!!! Are they serious???? You want to improve opportunities for students, how about not cutting programs because you don't think it leads to a viable career path? How about not cutting faculty so you can hire a new V.P. of Doing What Three Other People Are Already Doing? How about paying faculty what they are worth to raise morale and keep quality faculty members from leaving? How about understanding that there is a difference between running an institution of higher learning and running the most pointless twig of the bloated government bureaucracy.
Whew, I wish I could say I felt better. | |
