MAGA cult


The irony of certain posters continually repeating this phrase is stunning

Do you think THAT many fans show up for their guys, or are they paid to be there?


I grew up there. Not much to do in Canton, so pretty much everything revolves around this weekend - parades, fashion shows, luncheons, music festivals, rib cook-offs.

You have friends, families and former teammates at the ceremony, plus the rabid fans that travel to see their "guy". But you also have people from the area that go just for the "event" even though they don't really have a particular player or team that they follow. There are also lots of people from the Chamber of Commerce, local industry sponsors, civic volunteers, etc. It adds up.
Lot's of great responses on here.

Another one that I haven't seen listed is James Honeyman-Scott.

Not sure if he is underrated ... perhaps more forgotten.

DS was satire but Peter Sellers, George C Scott, Sterling Hayden, Slim Pickens et al weren't mugging it up like Cruise and Goodman appear to be in that trailer. Not sure if it is going to be preachy - but if so, it will be a disaster.

No … more like laughing at myself. There was a brief moment in time when I was repeatedly hitting “refresh” to see if the good guys could prevail and save the country…

Yes. It was a last minute invite from friends.

They did a great show for “seasoned” musicians. As in they had their set down, tried to keep the energy level up and sounded good. N Schon played a LOT of solos (seemed like practice scales at some points) and got pretty monotonous at times. They have a drummer that sings a lot of Steve Perry parts and nailed them. Overall they gave the crowd what they wanted and played a professional gig. But I am old enough to have seen the classic Journey lineup - this was good but it wasn’t like that. Father Time is undefeated.


Yep this is a great show. Great cast. Lot's of twists and turns, double-crosses, uncertainty about true motivations of the characters. Highly recommend for anyone that likes engrossing spy thriller shows.
Open G is a must for Stones and Black Crowe covers.

Surprisingly easy to tune into from standard, and fun to play.

adopted a child from a Russian orphanage


Within the last year I have met two different (unrelated) guys who have adult daughters that they adopted from Russia as infants. Both guys are successful businessmen, and the daughters were apparently raised in upper middle class households and given every advantage possible. Both described essentially the same situation...namely, no matter how good things go for the daughters, they eventually do something to self-sabotage the situation. They both described a constant cycle of the girls starting to get on track (start college, do well at a job, hang out with good friends, etc.) but then they inevitably do something to destroy it all. Then they start getting better with help, but eventually do it all over again. They both also described the girls causing serious conflict within the household by going against other siblings or the moms.

The dads are stuck because they love their daughters and feel obligated to help them like any troubled child...but they resign themselves to the fact that it will just happen again. And the dads also have to be protective of the other family members. It sounds heartbreaking and exhausting. It sounds like the girls both have some type of internal trauma or "programming" that they just can't seem to shake.
