OK... seems this thread has gone cold. Quite often I find Sarah Silverman incredibly funny particularly for the areas she does not fear to tread such as, "Yeah, we killed Jesus. And I'd do it again." Talk about Xians getting an attack of the vapors. Her and her sister are also hilarious as voice talent on Bob's Burgers. They're Andy and Ollie.

Funny thing about what was revealed in the Wikileaks DNC emails was looking to paint Bernie Sanders as an atheist in Bible Belt states.

Favorite Song

Julie808 comments on Jun 16, 2018:

1st favorite song: Colour My World, by Chicago 2nd favorite song: Harvest Moon, by Neil Young Those songs captured my state of mind at various times in my life, longing for something. I still like them, but they don't really capture my current state of mind. Maybe because I'm just content ...

WilliamCharles replies on Jun 16, 2018:

Am a huge fan of Harvest Moon but I think I was largely burned out on Chicago from my high school days. While immensely talented, they had the heavy production values that drove me towards the New Wave/punk sound of the late 70s/early 80s.

Trolling and mental health

There's various levels and some become an indicator of serious problems. If you haven't seen it, watch the multi-part episode of South Park on trolling. It was pretty well done and tackled the issue you bring up in a interesting manner.

WilliamCharles replies on Apr 28, 2018:

I'm a big Stones fan, but I'm not really fond of "Angie." I also prefer Country Honk to Honky Tonk Women. I've never seen a live show where they didn't include HTW in the set list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBzYy8sEwPw This is a Country version of "Honky Tonk Women," which was released as a single a few months earlier. Says Keith Richards: "On Let It Bleed, we put that other version of Honky Tonk Women on because that's how the song was originally written, as a real Hank Williams/Jimmie Rodgers, '30s Country song. And it got turned around to this other song by Mick Taylor, who got into a completely different feel, throwing it off the wall completely."

City or named place songs. Favorites?
