Red on Roundball?Seems like it time to move in from musical performances at halftime. Something better has to be possible for the TV audiences.

Right? I mean yes, its a huge amount of money for these programs, and yes they start at 150K. But the NBA or whomever the sponsor for it can easily afford to say 50K for the losing team, 100K for the winning so, you know, ALL the kids win from pennies in the NBA sofaIt would be hilarious if the charity money was enough that the kids in the blue shirts were pissed off at Team LeBron for mailing in the end of that quarter.
“Nice defense asshole, guess my little sister isn’t getting an afterschool program!!”
Holy shit.He's talented as shit.

This was April 2020, and he did a Nirvana tribute to benefit the WHO with Travis Barker, covering a bunch of Nirvana songs.
No Smells Like Teen Spirit. This fuckin ROCKS.
For me that would be great. For this and Super Bowl, it always sucks. Even when it’s good it’s good “for a halftime show”. The one exception is Prince who might be the greatest pop musician of the last 50 years.Red on Roundball?
Sorry: Carly Rae Jepsen.For me that would be great. For this and Super Bowl, it always sucks. Even when it’s good it’s good “for a halftime show”. The one exception is Prince who might be the greatest pop musician of the last 50 years.
Neither of those things were really hidden. Prince shreds in the hit movie Purple Rain and the Nirvana tribute was covered a lot when it happened. I think this a more of function of you being into a lot of things that you missed it.Holy shit.
Do you have any insight into what it is about the music industry that makes the execs tey to obscure from us unwashed masses that their cutting edge talents are well versed in previous music? This reminds me of finding out that Prince was an amazing guitar player. Is it some notion of wanting to promote the idea of sui generis prodigy? Because this shit it amazing, and I love learning that he’s steeped in grunge—and it makes so much fucking sense. And he’s even rocking the house dress style that Mike from Phish does…
So what the hell?
I think you increasingly need to follow a lot of what you academics call “secondary literature” to find it. Prince’s guitar stuff is obvious on live stuff, but not in his albums, for example. Like, maybe I would have wanted to watch Purple Rain if I knew he could play guitar.Neither of those things were really hidden.

Maybe, idk. Klosterman spoke about this referencing the album:I think you increasingly need to follow a lot of what you academics call “secondary literature” to find it.

All sorts of bands have this going on; The Grateful Dead may have pioneered it—find out what the real version sounds like if you go look. I kind of get it: Reward the real fans… but I dunno… as someone who wasn’t raised to learn how to find music, I get left out. I think my thoughts would give Jerry some pause, though I do get what they’re doing with it. So I’m conflicted.
What are they going to cancel him from? Guy doesn’t seem to live a public life.The Karl Malone backlash online is really heating up since he took the stage. The cancel mob is definitely going for him.
Cancel mob? Can you defend the guy for the shit he did?The Karl Malone backlash online is really heating up since he took the stage. The cancel mob is definitely going for him.
Hell no. He belongs in prison. I’m happy they are starting to pay attention to what he did.Cancel mob? Can you defend the guy for the shit he did?
Yes! You nailed exactly what I mean! (So often you do get me… )Maybe, idk. Klosterman spoke about this referencing the album:
At the apex of Prince's career, I listened almost exclusively to metal. My sister actually purchased 'Purple Rain' on cassette, which I write about in my anthology ["Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas"]. And I felt ashamed that I liked Prince so much. A typical rock fan would be embarrassed that they liked Warrant or Ratt at the time, but I had the exact opposite experience. And I had this overwhelming fear that Prince was actually a better guitar player than any of the metal gods.
Oh got ya, sorry then, misread your tone my badHell no. He belongs in prison. I’m happy they are starting to pay attention to what he did.
The 24 point max 4th will kill it unless they get insanely hot for the rest of the thirdTeam Giannis already has 144 points - can they hit 200 tonight?! And Tatum clearly leading for MVP right now
Holy shit.
