I'm really disappointed

hmmm, directed at no one, directed at everyone... I think I'd be more interested in the karma police at this point, but if positivity is desired, see my post from 2:35 AM... and here's wishing everyone has a great Sunday!

I don't really want to argue, honestly. I just don't think you have the ability to see past your own preconceived notions.

I'll tell you what classical music is — for those of you who don't know. Classical music is this music that was written by a bunch of dead people a long time ago. And it's formula music, the same as top forty music is formula music.

The most important thing to do in your life, is to not interfere with somebody else's life.

It's fairly obvious, since Richard Nixon, that there is no such thing as a fair deal for any voter in the United States — You're just not gonna get it. It's a joke — the people that you vote for, they're the next best thing to criminals. But of course they have money for advertising campaigns that make them look a little bit better than they actually are.(wow... you mean voting is a joke? who woulda thought?)

If you wind up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest or some guy on TV telling you how to do your shit, then YOU DESERVE IT.
(hmmm.. maybe i shouldnt get a job and do all that good stuff society wants. zappa says its bad.)

I think it's really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It's such an absurdity to take anything really serious ... I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what's the story here? Being alive is so weird.

A drug is not bad. A drug is a chemical compound. The problem comes in when people who take drugs treat them like a license to behave like an asshole.

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.

The person who stands up and says, 'This is stupid,' either is asked to behave or, worse, is greeted with a cheerful 'Yes, we know! Isn't it terrific!'

The Ultimate Rule ought to be:'If it sounds GOOD to you, it's bitchen; if it sounds BAD to YOU, it's shitty' The more your musical experience, the easier it is to define for yourself what you like and what you don't like. American radio listeners, raised on a diet of_____ (fill in the blank), have experienced a musical universe so small they cannot begin to know what they like.
(how dare he preach to those radio listening masses like hes above them!!!)

On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standards of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express creatively his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole
(hmmmm... seems kinda similar to the into the wild quote.)

you missed my point entirely

pretty sure you already quoted that text and we already discussed that point. at this point, you are just trying to argue.

I said that 2 hours ago, to which you already replied. That part of this conversation is over now.

No, you aren't still getting shit. Nobody's even saying anything to you anymore. That with Stallion was all last night.

well again this is about a few people. its been going back and forth for years. and to me gouge was picking up where stallion left off. not to mention i just read stallions posts so its new to me.

btw although it may turn some off but i enjoy the heated debates. thanks to the mods for allowing this to continue in here. plus it has the added bonus of not gravitating to other threads because a thread gets locked. it was nice to vent. its unfortunate when it becomes personal attacks. but i personally try to do my best to avoid that and only respond in kind when shots are taken at me. but its all good. i know i irritate some people. i wouldnt have it any other way! but its all pretty retarded. i agree. its hard to avoid the inforoo drama llama anymore. thats the main reason ive avoided posting for quite sometime. but im bored this weekend so here i am. and its killed a good chunk of time. so mission accomplished. all i can say is that most people enjoy reading the heated conversations about a topic. its the personal attacks that make everything go all jr high. oh well happy chronica (or chronzaa) to all! im gonna celebrate with a smoke and a nap!

just watch the phil lesh interview on Bonnaroo.com

I miss camping with Hoodoo and his brother.
