Perfect music for that footage!
Also perfect footage for that music. Wait...

Of course the words have an analogous meaning but I suspect they had those flyers in mind when they were writing the song. Confidentially, those people are out of their minds.

I did not watch them, I think enough folks are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore, and will show up in droves... I don't believe the polls one bit. Just look at the turnouts for the rallies... turn off your TV's, nothing but propaganda and lies.
Yes, I agree about the mad as hell thing. Count me in.
But, the media bias and distortions are just so overwhelming. I listen to NPR every weekday morning and I cannot believe how they not so subtly inject opinion (always anti Trump) into what is supposed to be news. And I say that as someone who has donated to them every year and someone who is not a republican.
I had that discussion (very brief) with my grown son who is smart as hell and has worked on the edge of the media for years. And he didn't get it.

What the heck is it doing in a Provari thread? I couldn't figure it out, I wanted clarification. Spreading the COVID was also mentioned, I was unsure if the riots were being discussed, one never knows, the standards seem to change based upon one's beliefs.
Probably all my fault for bringing up my thoughts about the town hall meetings. On the other hand, this isn't quite a Provari thread. It's always been a diner and saloon where folks just sort of opened up and let loose and sometimes even discussed Pvari gear.

I jumped from aircraft just shy of six hundred times. I was looking for a BASE mentor when I met my now wife. One thing she asked me, was to not pursue base jumping, she was OK with the sky diving, but was terrified of me trying base jumping. I proposed to her eighty feet under water in Cozumel, as I had met her through scuba diving. Those people aren.t crazy, they just have a different perspective on danger and fear management. To get my D license I needed two night jumps. The second one I did in South Carolina and exited the airplane at 15,500 ft with three other jumpers linked in a four way exit and formation. It was exhilarating. I just kind of fell away from the sport, and eventually sold my gear, but I still miss it, freefall is a very addictive thing. I remember one time while flying my canopy over Orange Mass. seeing a hawk circling the thermals below me...so many memories, makes me want to peruse my log books and reminisce...

Liberal communist propaganda, all of it. Turn off your TV and Radio, free your mind from the constant bombardment from the main stream toilet.

I used to listen to NPR on my morning drive, too. Cokie Roberts had my ear. But, it has changed, as you said, it just seems to have drifted to the liberal positions on issues. NPR has an ombudsman to ensure balance, but that individual just hasn't been effective.

I started listening to NPR the day I got my tractor trailer truck as a young hippy admiring, grateful dead loving 20-something, and I listened every day. I was very much a liberal at the start of that foray into driving. By the 3-4 month mark in the truck, NPR was beginning to sound a bit antagonizing in different ways. By the 6 month mark, listening to someone talk about welfare expansion & the need for higher taxes to take care of the under employed, while I waited for the icicles on my eyebrows to melt off, before i got into my bunk for my 30 min per 11 hr break, was beginning to get on my nerves. By the 1.5 year mark, I was listening to fox news.

LOL. I think the ombudsman got laid off.
I sent them an email at least a year ago expressing my opinion that the news reporting had become very slanted. As I told them, I wasn't writing as a republican, nor as a Trump lover, neither of which I was, but simply as a contributor who appreciated hearing the news. If the reporters and editors and hosts can't keep their personal biases out of it, then it's not really news reporting anymore, it's all opinion pieces. Very sad.

Appearing in the Saloon this Saturday, Neil Diamond! Beyond the Big Bang Theory's belief that he is a great karaoke draw, Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, and he received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. In 2011, he was an honoree at the Kennedy Center Honors, and he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.

Ladies, lets keep the throwing of lingerie to a minimum...(sigh)

He was my mom's favorite Musician, because of that I never really listened to his music much. I will check it out though. :|

As a lifelong and rabid Yankees fan, I'd be lying if I said this was something close to my heart.

HOWEVER, it IS, absolutely and positively, one of THE COOLEST things in sports these days.

Hats off, Sawx fans. This is good sheet. :thumbs: :headbang: :banana:
