What kind of music?

I'm kinda partial to 200 piece orchestras going full tilt with a 120 member choir.

or an evening with Stevie Nicks (whom we saw in concert last week) or Fleetwood Mac.

Still a big fan of ELO.  Not too big into country however, even though I am in the mid-South.

Works for me.  Besides, the way I figure it, my anonymous posting doesn't amount to a pinch of rabbit droppings anyway.  I don't make things personal.  That ended long, long ago on these internet byways.  If a guy named Lando calls a guy named Banana Peel a jerk, it means what, exactly?

And I will always pray for any incoming US President, regardless of my personal opinion of the person or his/her politics.  If they are my guy, I pray I am right.  If they are not, I pray I am wrong.  Its the best I've got.  From that point, I may applaud or criticize the decisions made - that's it.

At least Trump's been stepping away from the role of Negan (Walking Dead).

@Cripplecreek

I hate that guy so much he's making it hard for me to watch TWD.  Not only for what he did, but because he's so incredibly irritating.  Everytime he goes into a monologue--which is about every three seconds---he twirls Lucille and leans backward into that weird, head-wagging....dance?  His people stole a lot of medication last night so I hope he gets some help with his tic.

I can listen to virtually everything, though my Ipod is definitely 70s rock centric. Still, one of my favorite concerts was seeing Spyrogyra live. When my 6 YO grandson's in the car, we turn on his favorite station, "The Highway", Sirius #56. The kid knows the words to 90% of the songs, he's a hoot! Especially when he joins in on songs that involve, beer, whiskey, and cheating women.   :silly:

The rest of my HH is crazy about TWD. I've watched a few episodes, but the opening episode for Season 7 was way too violent for me. I say that as a Sons of Anarchy viewer from Episode 1. I've never been into zombie shows anyway.

Westworld I can take or leave, too.

Absolutely, though personally, I'm big on Out Of The Blue - mainly because I saw that concert way back when and was blown away by the spectacle and Jeff Lynne's vocals.

@Night Hides Not

We've watched a couple of Westworld episodes, but it didn't grab us.

We've watched TWD since the start.  The season opener was indeed very brutal, but I was more upset over losing those two characters.

OOTB is probably the better piece of music overall but I just love the story of Time. Plus, Yours Truly 2095 is in my top 10 all time favorites.

For those poor souls that never had the pleasure of it

Good policy.

It's easy to get too personal with people who don't know you from Adam, and be offended by the ignorant things they say because they don't know you from Adam.

I'm getting better at that than I used to be, thanks to calming influences like @Lando Lincoln   ^-^

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Negan isn't a believable character. Someone would say "screw this crap" and kill Negan.

I suspect most of Negan's people would be OK with it.

I saw a show with interviews with men who had guarded Stalin. They said that they weren't afraid of Stalin and generally said he was a coward and a tiny mouse of a man who feared his own shadow. They said Stalin held power by keeping those around him in conflict and afraid of each other.

For pretty good reason.  Doesn't matter to me if I get killed at the order of the Premier or some Eleventy-Star General.

You #Never Trumpers decided you ego was more important then moving forward. Childish for you to object when people return your fire back at you. There is a wide moral difference between being the aggressors (i.e. Never Trumpers) and the defenders.

So, to be clear, NeverTrumpers are 100% aggressors, and Trump supporters never, ever attacked NeverTrumpers, except as self-defense?  Is that your final position?  I want to make sure so I get the date written down correctly.

Oh don't worry about him. He's just rubbing Trumps call for unity in Trump's face. He's got a mad on that no one from the Trump Transition team sent out dogs to hunt us down and he lacked the courage to do it himself.

It's the other way around, the vile and vulgar Trumpturds went on the offense first. They never stopped either. Trumpturds shouldn't talk about moral stuff while defending and doing fellatio on a scumbag like Trump
