Isn't that a sorority?
We had Sig Ep. It was a lot of quiet-types. Beta was sort of knows as a weird mix of potheads and athletes. Which I'm definitely a mix of. Lol
I use my Thule Cascade on my Hooke Road rack. The box is solid so I don't bother with ratchet straps on it. If you do, make sure you put a twist in the strap (look up a YouTube video) to prevent the straps from flapping and driving you insane. I learned that lesson the hard way many years ago...
Oh man...we could certainly trade some stories because I have a handful of goodies like that too. Sometimes I look back and am amazed that I made it out alive. So much violence. And so much access to drugs. Aside from the obvious alcohol and weed, it was mostly coke, mdma and special k..
I was...
Rap is a great example...it did not come from crack (or the early heroin influence in the black community). It stemmed from african rhythmic traditions...beats and spoken words, and a whole lot of cultural anger.
That being said, crack influenced the way that rap sounded from the lyrical...
Thank you. Glad it made sense.
The internet is a weird place. Even when you think you're being explicitly clear about something, sometimes people can mistakenly read into things the wrong way or they're just coming at a topic from a different angle than you are and 2 folks who actually...
That's a very unusual way to look at what I'm writing or how to feel about anything in general.
I'm not certain you understand the cultural impact or prevalence of substance abuse in this country (and in the world in general).
If I had to guess, you're a fairly normal American guy, so I'm...
Why would they be insulting? People from various generations used particular drugs during those timeframes. The drugs influenced the music making as well as the music listening experiences. There really isn't anything to be offended by about that.
Every single genre of music in every...
Let me see if I can find the info. It was probably a decade ago that I read it.
I never said cocaine was an amphetamine. I said cocaine AND amphetamines. And the 80s were filled with tremendous use of both. Methamphetamine (crank/speed) and prescription dex and benzedrine were in everyone's...
I think it's fairly well-established that the 80s were the decade of cocaine and amphetamines. Kind of a weird thing to disagree with. 60s into the 70s were weed and LSD, 70s were weed and cocaine in the late 70s, 80s were coke and speed with crack becoming widespread, 90s shifted to heroin...
I remember watching this whole scientific musical analysis of 80s music (metal, hair bands, etc) and how unpleasant the music is to the ear and the brain. The only reason the tonality and patterns were appealing to the general population was the over-abundant use of amphetamines (coke in...
The 80s...cocaine and hairspray. The good old days... (I was born in '79)
Seriously though, how did you survive the absolute worst decade of music ever?
