I don't know, Bone. It's starting to look like a three-headed monster.
I thought about that yesterday then immediately thought "wow, I wonder what this poop show looks like to rookie Taylen Green??"
I so wish SNL would do a skit "inside the Browns QB room"... it would be priceless. 🤣
Deshaun getting disgusted, Shedeur still non-stop joking and trying to be everyone's friend. Dillon trying to undercover answer all of his girlfriend's non-stop tweets. "Yes, babe... I'm getting first team reps today!" Taylen texting his agent "Is there any way to get out of here? Can I fake a mental breakdown??"
So, in my eyes, I see a party that's split along multiple lines. On one hand, you have traditional dems that are afraid to embrace the progressive agenda... then within the progressives, you have those who's language teeters on communism. And they're the ones with the megaphones; they're the tail wagging the dog. And the whole reason this is turning into a $h*tshow is because they're the entire reason the establish dems are leery of embracing the "progressive agenda".
I am starting to agree more with your points on the back-and-forth we had earlier... though, to me, ANYTHING that helps the establishment lose their grip on their party is a plus in my book. I can understand the worry behind a party being coopted by an extreme slice (seems to be what's happened with R's and MAGA). Bernie has been beating the DSA drum for quite a while. AOC came on the scene a little while ago, and seems to have tempered her platform somewhat (or at least smoothed out the delivery... you don't hear a ton from her like you used to). I'm still not scared of the blue-haired folks in Memphis's posts... they are a vocal minority that do more to undermine folks with a viable platform (not to mention the larger ideas they are fighting for).
The ethics committee came to this conclusion...... The panel added that “his pattern of behavior would lead a reasonable observer to interpret it as such, including providing the young women with lavish and recurrent gifts, making comments regarding their appearance and dress, inviting them to intimate dinners and vacations, sending notes regarding his effusive affection, and inviting them to other activities as a way to spend time together.”
I read and have written some music. Played trumpet when I was young and not having a huge life experience to draw on as a youngster I loved Herb Alpert. My dad was an Al Hirt guy. lol When I hear songs I can almost see the notes. From a musical content standpoint it has made me cynical in terms of a lot of popular music. Especially if the lyrics are empty. ie..... Sex, Drugs and R&R.
So while many of my friends were listening to bands like Kiss And AC/DC I couldn't stand their "music". Hair bands in general totally missed the mark for me as well.
Having been a singer and in bands over the course of decades I'm much more susceptible to liking more simplistic musical content if the lyrics are really good. I was never in overly popular bands that had commercial success. We played mainly local clubs but the bigger clubs in town. It was always a passion of mine but I never attempted to make a full time career out of it. More of a passionate hobby you could make a little side money at.
I don't have any idea how things work in commercial music. But I do know what inspired me as a singer. Something about working with a great guitar player who shared that same passion I did brought a little magic into the room. That simpatico helped feed both parties to be better. Seeing Ozzy with Randy Rhoads for me is a shining example of that. When put together they both reached heights they had never come close to reaching before. Both from a musical and lyrical standpoint.
It's wonderful to hear great musical content but the message of a song is just as important to me. Also the way that message is packaged. For some it's a true art form IMO. I'm also a huge fan of great harmonies.
