Yeah, the more businesses and people come back and say "fuck you, we aren't racist, stop accusing us of that based on vague pretenses" the better it gets for everyone.

Yeah man, you'd assume that was written and recorded by Blue Tears somewhere between 1990-1992, recorded by Sweet in 1994 with a tweak here and there for a songwriting credit. But defo an original BT song. 

Year that's what I thought.
MS version is a little cleaner, and of course his vocals are pretty on point, but still a great version

Was listening to Blue Tears today and Forever Yours played.
Pretty sure that Michaels Sweet recorded it first, but they both have writing credits.
That said I'm pretty sure it was on a Blue Tears album that was a collection of historic tracks, so maybe they recorded it first and then MS did it later.
Bother great versions.

I actually listened to my Best of B&T today.
No More Broken Dreams is one of the better songs of all time

That last track posted reminds me a lot of Danger Danger

Probably been mentioned above somewhere, but I was showing a couple of my kids Falling To Pieces - Faith No More, Then Epic and Ashes to Ashes, then Easy came up.

Easy really is an amazing cover.

It's probably not correct to the exact date, but I assumed my point was made. I can't actually remember the last fatality from covid in Australia, but I believe we're up to two now from the vaccine? I'm not across it as much as you no doubt are, but that was my impression. 

 

One died just after this post was made I believe, which apparently takes the toll to 2.
Although I thought it was already at 2 before this recent death.

Anyway, Pfizer vaccine is on hold in Victoria.
State govt says they don't have enougha nd need to save some for second jabs (for those who have already had the first) 
Federal govt calls bullshit and says there is heaps of availability.

In the meantime I still can't drive interstate to my other business because we are getting 1 to 2 daily cases for people already in quarantine lol
It's fucked down here

 as I understand it, the vaccine has killed two more people in Australia than covid has in the last year. 

Gonna have to call bullshit on that.

As for the news, I quit it around 5 years ago.
So negative here, probably the same as most other countries.
If there is any real news happening, it will pop up on my Facebook feed.

Yeah, to be honest, saying something is conclusively "better" than something is just stupid, in terms of music. 

I love Dokken and I don't like a single thing about Zeppelin. So I personally prefer Dokken and of course in my mind Dokken are a far better band, otherwise I'd listen to Zep instead. But that's not me saying Dokken are then by default the better band. But, in my opinion there are, for what ever an opinion is worth. And I think that's the point of threads like this. It's all a sole opinion and nothing conclusive. 

Imma agree with you generally about Led Zep.
Maybe I'm not old enough, but they never really grabbed me.
But how about Rock And Roll? Surely you at least like that song?

As for Dokken, I have one of their albums, Back For The Attack. It's a great album, but I never really explored more for some reason...

Tell me about it, but the same was true when Bush was in power. Our Aussie media is so biased against the American Republican party, and they fawn over Democrats. It is sickening. But at least there is no "it's the end of the world" hysteria about the US president anymore. They have the pandemic to keep us in fear and under control now anyway. Should be good to keep us afraid for at least 2 more years then they can go back to rising oceans etc. or something else new or recycled, peak oil or nuclear war or old school - God's judgement ha!

Not so sure about that.
I'd say that our press is only really interested in gossip girl type stuff.
I mean channel 10, The Project, and the like will always be very pro left and broadcast anything in that interest.
Sky news leans heavily to the right, but they don't even have too much to say.
They have defaulted to criticising Labor in Australia primarily now.

Maybe Biden is just going about his job, well or not, without much fanfare.
Taking the safe route tends to do that, just slide on by with a bit of stealth lol

Over here in Australia, we barely hear a peep about US politics now.

We lost all that fun entertainment, but on the other hand, it was all getting pretty fucking boring and old.

Oooh, abortion, huh?

For me, life is sentience.
So as long is up to a reasonable time in pregnancy, I have no issues with it.

One could argue that the morning after pill is an abortion tool, radicals would say that condoms are abortion tools.

Interesting at maybe 30 years ago, I may have thought that I was OK at nailing some Motley songs when singing them.
Now I'm pretty sure that I could do a better job than Vince lol

I bet there are Vince defenders on Facebook who would love to say " if you think you can do better then I'd like to hear it" but they really can't 

I like it

I have no desire to see Motley again.
You need to have some kind of baseline expectations and Vince really makes a show pretty unbearable now

I rarely post here but I wanted to speak on this. I consider myself pretty left-leaning in my beliefs and I can't stand Biden. I thought he was an awful candidate and I'm frustrated (but not at all surprised) by how mediocre of a president he's been thus far. I think if you asked a large group of leftists this question, you'd get a similar answer on both Biden and most establishment Dems.

And no, I don't think Sanders is the answer either...

Lack of good leaders is a problem worldwide.
Trump stood out somewhat in that he dictated the party lines more than adhered to the vocal minority within the party.
I like that.

But good to see someone critical of a leader from the party they support.
Republican fans tend to be able to spew hate for Trump, something that gets overlooked a fair bit I'd say.

Here in Australia we have a weird environment.
People seem mostly un-religious, but if they have to name their religion, they will default to what they ;are; if asked.
But church going is not all that prevalent, and passion for religion is nothing compared to say the US.
I have a Hillsong church across the road from me. been meaning to hit it up, looks like a pretty fun environment.
Just for shits and giggles.

ooft
New album?

This came up today.
Not a huge ACDC fan, and didn't expect much, but boom! she kills it

New song came up when I was chillin with YouTube
Love it

Pretty nice song here.
Reminds me of You Can't Stop RNR era in a lot of ways

Didn't like it at all to be totally honest. 

I think he is that kind of singer you wither grow to like, or find annoying.
Took me a long time to dig some of his stuff, probably started with a couple of Slash songs on that album where he was one of a few singers.
Then I tried a whole album of his and it hurt my ears for a while...

Really good album.

My  stand outs so far are...
Myles Kennedy - The Ides Of March
Electric Boys - Ups!de Down
