Sort of an idiot if you don't take free money.  Policy was jacked and dumb as fuck, but even more stupid to not take what is offered to you.

Some of us have integrity and don’t trust govt. and you’re a complete moron if you think that money was free, super stupid for you to say that. Yet you missed the point of my post, not surprised.

What about all those wealthy greedy slobs who took the PPP loans? PPP had a far greater price tag than SL’s. All those capitalists who took it are now socialists.

Liberals can say what they want, they’re used to lying. The fact is liberal ideas are far, far more radical and it’s not even close.

Step out of your echo chamber. Lots of people support Biden for the same idiotic reasons Trump supporters support Trump. 

Wrong again, the only thing Democrats shit themselves over is abortion and Trump says mean things. The Democrats and their progressive, radical retarded ideas are far worse than the Repubs and that's a fact. 

Regardless of what side of the aisle you're on, I always get a chuckle out of this.

I was working in Hartford, CT in 1989, that was their last hay day.. the 90's were dismal economic times..... City has never came back....

I've never heard anybody say that, from my point of view the 90's were great. The Great Recession and Covid were far worse than anything that happened in the 90's. Do you live under a rock? The 90's were a boom compared to the Great Recession and Covid and Covid wasn't as bad as the GR.

The extreme right doesn't want to save America, not even close.  Neither does the extreme left.  Both want to change it drastically fo fit their agenda.  Both agendas are highly flawed.  If you support either extreme you are a blind fool.

The Democrats are loaded with radical extremism, Global Warming BS is another one that wasn't brought up in this thread.

Slave Reparations is another, taxpayer funded transgender reassignment surgery was another.

Give me some radical extremism other than Abortion that comes from Republicans.

Nina D on what it took to cover Eruption with a violin. Her last paragraph states perfectly why I believe EVH was the greatest guitar player ever.

Eruption - Van Halen - Violin Cover by Nina D My journey to learn Eruption began a few years ago, when I only had access to a 5-string fretless violin. I learned a small bit of it, and quickly realized that I would need to compromise the octave range, and the finger tapping in order to perform it. There are a few covers out there of violinists doing just that, and they are very impressive. Anyone who knows me, knows that I did not want to do that. I wanted to sound like Eddie. Thus began my journey with the 7-string fretted violin. Pretty much the entire reason for having this instrument custom-made (thanks Wood Violins crew!) was to see if I could play Eruption. At the time of purchase, I wasn’t even sure if it would be physically possible to do the finger tapping, even with the new instrument. Upon its arrival, my first task was to learn how to play the darn thing- it’s like a completely different instrument, the neck is huge, I am tiny, and the low strings are super thick. (I also had to buy a special bow to properly play it). If your bow arm falters by a millimeter, you will hit the surrounding strings. Once I had this part somewhat down, I knew I had to dive into the hardest part right away- to answer the question, “but will it tap?” I began with transcribing this beast of a solo into notation. If you play guitar, and you want to learn how to play pretty much anything, you can go to YouTube and find slow note for note tutorials on EXACTLY how to do so. This doesn’t exist for trying to translate guitar things to a violin. You’re on your own. I tried it out with my normal rig. Pretty much dead sound. Nothing happening but noise. I had a few ideas for specialty pedals. Since you can’t really go to the store and try pedals any more, I bought one, it didn’t work, shipped it back, bought a different one, didn’t work, shipped it back, etc. ad nauseam. Months went by. It seemed for every step forward I took in achieving this technique, I took two steps back with new problems. For months, my poor family listened to what sounded like a train wreck falling on top of a car wreck falling off the Empire State Building. Brody even said to me, “it ain’t gonna happen.” So I locked myself away until it did. I struggled and fought the limitations of the instrument. I had some hard practice days, but the best motivation for me is “it can’t be done.” It took a combination of newly learned left and right hand technique, played precisely, practiced slowly for clarity, FOREVER to even make the right sound. The spaces that you need to hit, quickly, on a fretted violin are much smaller than that of a guitar. I tweaked the effect chain and technique right up until the 11th hour on the very final day of doing this. One day near the end of it, I was practicing in the studio and Brody was taking a shower. When he got out, he said to me he thought I was playing the recording of Van Halen. That was my breakthrough day. I knew I was close. I haven’t worked this hard since my masters recital on classical violin. I’ve ripped up my fingers to shreds, they bled, they blistered. Eddie Van Halen was in a class all of his own. His sound, technique, rhythm, and musicality changed the game for all guitarists (and this electric violinist) that followed. I am a far better performer, a far better violinist, with a much larger range of abilities, thanks to the months (or years) I put into dissecting his style and taking the time to do this on a violin as close to how he did it (so effortlessly) on a guitar as possible. Thank you, EVH, for making so many of us better musicians.

When I worked in public health I refused to use Ccap on clients. The only time I would is if I had their permission and it was to check a court order for mandatory treatment. I find Ccap a complete violation of privacy. It doesn’t surprise me that you enjoy wearing other people’s dirty laundry. Says a lot about the type of person you are. 

It doesn't matter what you think, take it up with the state if it makes your vagina itch. It's a great way to find out who the bad people are and avoid them. It's a great tool for rental property owners. 

It makes you look like an idiot for disparaging somebody for using a public source of information, says alot about the type of person you are.

It's a useful tool when you want to find somebody's true colors, it's public record and you'd be lying if you've never used Ccap, you even knew the name of it. Anything else twat?

PM me your real name and we'll see if you got any goodies on there.

Arrest warrant issued for owner of Minocqua Brewing Co.

Arrest warrant issued for MBC owner

RHINELANDER, Wis. (WSAW) - NewsChannel 7 has just learned an arrest warrant has been authorized for the owner of the Minocqua Brewing Company, Kirk Bangstad.

Bangstad didn’t show up for a court appearance in Oneida County Court last week as part of his defamation lawsuit with the Lakeland Times. In that case, he was found guilty last fall and ordered to pay the newspaper publisher over $750,000 in damages for calling journalist Gregg Walker names on social media and saying he failed to come to the aid of his dying brother 36 years ago, among other claims.

NewsChannel 7 spoke with Bangstad tonight over the phone. He says he simply mixed up his dates for when he was scheduled to appear and was in Madison for business at the time.

When he offered to join the hearing via Zoom, which he says he has done in the past and court records show numerous filings to appear remotely, he was denied.

The next court date is set for May 22.

I've read a little about him and his brewery here and there. That douche is a liberal cunt.

I'd love to see Mellencamp live. I had tickets 12-14years ago but gave them away because I had to work.

 

Seems like he walked off stage because he was being heckled by a group of assholes in front of the stage. If it truly was politics related then John has paid his dues and has the right to say what every he wants. He will still sell out concerts regardless but at this point in his life I don't think he cares.

Edit. I'm more discussed by a singer who smokes cigarettes. wtf?

 

30 years ago I went to see Steve Earle in a local theatre, great venue. 2 Minutes before Steve took the stage, a side door opened and 4 fat Hell's Angels bikers walked in with their dates and sat front row center stage. It was obvious that Steve was performing the concert for these bikers, looking, waving and pointing to them the whole show. The backdrop screen showed biker pictures, brotherhood bullshit. Something about a couple of bikers who had been put in jail for being bikers.

I'd never pay to see to him again. And I'm sure he doesn't give a shit.

 

 

There's alot of everyday people who have paid far greater dues than a washed up millionaire singer. I'm not a fan of over glorifying celebrities. Politically he can say what he wants on stage or off but he better be ready for the backlash because not everybody agrees with his politics and you'd think he'd be smart enough to know that. The smart celebs keep their mouths shut because they know better.
