The death rate PER CAPITA in Belgium is twice that of the United States, and the highest in the world (nearly 860 deaths/million people).  

Would one of you the Trumper/Coronavirusisahoax people like to tell me what in the fuck is the reason so many Flemish and Walloon people had to die?   5000+ miles from Texas to Antwerp.  The nation with the absolutely most devastating death toll per capita, Belgium.  What was their role in all this?  Does it fit your narrative?  

This arose as an issue a couple of months ago. I couldn't remember offhand but recalled that they were counting differently than everyone else.

Found this:

Belgian officials say they are counting in a way that no other country in the world is currently doing: counting deaths in hospitals and care homes, but including deaths in care homes that are suspected, not confirmed, as Covid-19 cases.

I always thought it was unfair that everybody in that video got sick outfits in the best late 80's color palates of the day down to the shoes and hair and jewelry and the instruments themselves.  But the drummer just got a shitty red tank-top.  That song holds up pretty well (musically speaking) after 32 years.

Eh, that was the end of the "drummers wore little more than track shorts" era.  See below (irony intended).

I caught Living Colour on the first Lollapalooza tour in Dallas.  They were far from my favorite band in the world at the time, but they sure could play.  After their set my friends and I were chillin' on the hillside, perhaps a bit inebriated, and their bassist Doug Wimbish wandered by.  I am inclined to get even more mouthy on alcohol than not, and I shouted "hey, aren't you that dude from Living Colour?"  He said "yeah, you got anything to drink?" and then sat down and hung with us for a couple of hours, as we had more than enough beer and whiskey for all.  He was an incredibly laid back, cool guy, especially for a rock star.

OK, no more Mr. Nice Guy.  After Trump's stupid statement that he will eventually be right about the covid, he can eat shit and die, the sooner the better.  There is no more calming me down, accepting criticism for what I have known for years, or anything else.  Fuck that piece of shit, the sooner he dies, the better off our country will be.

Early 80s, but I was listening to the Circle Jerks Wild In The Streets the other night. The subject matter of the entire album sounds like it could have been written last week.

Also, Living Colour was full of brilliant musicians. The band was ahead of their time as far as musical developments of the 90s and quite simply better musicians than almost anyone else.

I heard Cory Glover on Sirius/XM the other day being interviewed by one of Frank Zappa's kids ( Cant remember if it was Dweezil or Ahmet) and he was really entertaining, down to earth and overall a cool dude.  Talked about wearing the Body Glove outfit and how much of a pain it was.  He kept hitting up Body Glove to try and get some endorsement money and they turned him down several times.  The 3rd or 4th time, they caved and he got something but not much.

The interview was on Volume 106 and it was well worth it.  Just two guys talking about music and life in general.

Well, see, here's the thing.... I refuse to ever acknowledge or believe that Belgium is a real country.  It's not.  It's just the plate of leftovers that Europe scraped together from the back of the fridge at 3:00 a.m., shithammered on warm beer and aquavit, microwaved for 30 seconds, and declared delicious as they wolfed it down watching another showing of Roadhouse on CMT.  It's a lot of things, but that ain't dinner, and Belgium ain't a country.

 

EDIT: please note that this post is a slam on Belgium, NOT on Roadhouse, which is a classic piece of American art.  And pain don't hurt.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!  I had the best steamed muscles of my life a few months back - before America was banned from Europe.

I'd write this in German or Walloon or French, but they can't say which is their own language.  Wait...!

He did give a good speech though. Well trained actor turned politician. 

He did his best acting as President. In the movies he was kind of meh. But yeah, fuck Reagan. Donald Trump is the embodiment of Reagan's "Me" generation from the 1980's.

Yep we were at the same show. I remember all that. Summer of 91 at the starplex.

The summer of 91 started in June at the starplex. Morrisey played in Dallas when at the end of the show, everyone rushed the stage and freaked the Moz out. As a result, he cancelled all his remaining Texas tour dates, including the next one to be played in Austin. We were all pissed. Most especially all the queens. 

Then Lollapalooza at the starplex in August 91. Great show.

Then in October 1991 NIrvana played at some place in Deep Ellum and once again the Dallas fucks went crazy and started another riot hitting Kurt Cobain over the head with a beer bottle. The fucking same shit caused by Dallas fucks was happening all over again.

Everyone in Austin was absolutely sure Nirvana was gonna cancel the show at Liberty Lunch the next day but Nirvana showed up anyway with a heavily sedated Kurt Cobain sporting a light blue polo shirt. Probably about three days before Smells like teen spirit shot up the charts and Nirvana never played in those type of venues again.

I was "at" that Nirvana show.  Technically, I didn't make it in, but I did weasel into the back lot and sat right at the crack of the load-in door and watched the whole thing from about 30 feet off stage right.  It was unreal.

I'm friends with a gal who is married to a guy who fronted a band that got offered the opening slot for that show.   They were also given a headlining shot on a weekend, pick one.  I can't remember what they picked, but when she told me about it I was thinking "holy shit take the Nirvana slot".

I was sort of at both those shows as well, 91 Lollapalooza was a blast and the Nirvana show at Trees, like you though we never made it in and listened from the outside till all hell broke loose.  For all I know you and I may have been standing near each other.

Biden probably can if elected.    However the intent is probably to affect the presidential election and/or the census.  If successful, Biden will either not have an opportunity or it will be too late to change the outcome and the consequences will be in effect for 4 to 10 years constitutional or not.
