Anyway, someone posted that on facebook and I thought it might be an interesting discussion... I was probably wrong
No, I've enjoyed discussing it and procrastinating at work
I'm reading an R.E.M. biography right now, just a couple of chapters in, right now it's talking about how they first became popular in Athens, as nothing more than a bar and party band.
Two things of note:
1. They were originally called The Twisted Kites. What a terrible name. They made a smart change.
2. Apparently they all used to just get fucking shitface wasted all the time. Which is awesome. They even did a lot of their early practicing and rehearsing while they were super drunk.
Personally, having thought about it more, I think it's probably just a case of kid's culture being more on display to the older generations than ever before....
I'd say you made the right call not putting it inthe cesspool of humanityFYM
JT's hatred of people younger than himself knows no bounds. You're an age-ist, JT.
I hate them, with their hippin and their hoppin and their bippin and their boppin
Ooh, which bio? I read "It Crawled From the South" eons ago and loved it. Should read it again one of these days.
Also, re shitfaced REM, listen to their cover of "King of the Road." So funny. "Easy with the key! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeasy with the key!"

Had it again a couple nights ago. It's a horrible feeling. Then when I first awoke and was still all groggy, I was relieved when I realized I didn't have math class this semester... Then a few moments later when I fully regained consciousness, I was relieved to remember that I haven't been a student for a number of years

I figured iYup would have nightmares about having to lecture on Tibetan calligraphy with no time to prep.
Is it true that you can't die in your dreams?
