jazman Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Speaking of addiction...................................... "Too many whites are getting away with drug use. The answer is to ... find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river." Russ Limbaugh (I guess this explains all those addiction induced radio broadcasts.) Oooops! The quote from Russ only seems to apply to those who do not have money and important connections. No doubt we should have sent Betty Ford to jail and discredited her life and contributions.

Two of the original four members of this half-assed rock-and-roll troupe died from heroin overdoses! Or does you ranting against musicians with serious drug abuse problems apply only to African-American artists and/or the music they created?

Deang Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 "The Race Card". You've got to be kidding. Oh yeah, that's Paul all right -- he only hates music by Black Heroin addicts. In fact, he just hates Blacks -- period. Don't know who you are, but -- c'mon Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 What is your first reaction when you hear of a musician or other entertainer who dies of an overdose? Some people say, "How sad. What a tragic loss." Others, "This is an indictment of America, a country that has driven its artists to pain-killing drugs as a means to cope against systemic injustice." I say, "What an idiot."

Let's see, a liberal white guy who loves jazz, hates pop music, has had an average education at best but fancies himself superior, been in numerous failed relationships and probably latent, cowardly, appears in a thread about Allan and struggles to change the subject away from overgrading. Is obsessed with me even to the point of parroting my identity. Has a history of using aliases in his posts that are always directed at paulparrot. Minimally competent in Photoshop.

Allan Songer Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Paulie Parrot is my sock puppet? If he is who you say he is, then he isn't me. I am 1/4 Navajo, so I guess I'm not "white"--at least not "lily" white anyway! I have been married to my wife for 17 years (met her in 1972) and she remains my best friend and partner. I earned both a BA (with honors) and MA from UC Berkeley and was once an associate professor at San Francisco State Univeristy. I don't claim to be the smartest guy in the world, but the University of California is fisrt-rate and I more than held my own. I don't hate pop music at all. There are many "Pop" artists that I enjoy--from Tom Waits to Lyle Lovett to Dre and Snoop. My wife is quite the hip-hop/rap fan and I have to admit some of this stuff is brilliant. Not my cup of tea as a steady diet, but now and then I really enjoy it! I also listen to opera (sucker for Mozart) and chamber music from time to time . . . And everyone who meets me really likes me--becuase I am considerate, kind and forgiving! I have many friends as a result! And a dog who loves me too! I am a liberal Democrat, so that charge sticks. But I know down deep in my soul that I am RIGHT (or is that "LEFT?"). By the way, I don't think you're a racist. And many have told me that in person you're a nice guy, kind of a "wimp" and and a "nerd," but calm and friendly. I'm sure it'sthe classic Jeckyl/Hyde thing--you would never have the courage to say ANY of this stuff face-to-face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen you and don't know what your ethnic background is. Maybe you're PP in disguise(SP)?

That's enough. I think your post is absolutely disgusting. Get out of this forum and never come back.

So I'm a NITWIT and a YAHOO. Ouch. I can only half read. I know even less than I half read. I'm joining a club of blue birds. I've got plenty on my table, yes sir. By the way, I just adopted an orange wing amazon parrot that flew into a co-workers yard about 5 weeks ago. Have had him for two weeks now and he's just as mean as Paul Parrot. I truly believe if we were to meet we'd get along, you'd have pity on a mentally challanged individual such as myself. Again, have a nice day. Go Bengals!

InventiveAudio.com Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Sorta off topic by why would anyone mess with vinyl when you can buy SACD and DVD-A discs that sound as warm with much better dynamics.

Allan Songer Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Why on earth would anyone want a 220 year old Rhode Island Chippendale Highboy with nicks and veneer problems when you can get a brand new reproduction that's perfect and nearly the same and about 90% less money? Why on earth would anyone want a 1957 Corvette when a new one is less money and better in every way? Why on earth would anyone want a 1952 Gibson Les Paul when a new one is perfect and less money? Why on earth would anyone pay $7500 for a first edition of Huckleberry Finn when you can get a paperback at Borders for seven dollars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
