Covid-19: American Acceptionalism

.@GovStitt's office has confirmed Oklahoma is not adhering to White House recommendations on coronavirus response measures.

"[T]he White House confirmed that these are not mandates and that the State is not out of compliance with any federal orders."https://t.co/Z1oIsSPPzo

My Mum saw The Quarrymen at The Cavern.

 

I'm assuming you mean cases? Because today Florida is leading the nation in deaths so far, and they have 256.

 

If everybody shoots each other the Indians have their country back.....without virus spreaders.

 

Yeah, that's the thing... When I was a young'un, there were exactly two ways you might discover new music: 1) you would hear a song you like on the radio and 2) someone would say, "hey man, check out this new record I just bought..."

Radio in the 70s was limited, at least where I lived, but compared to today, where all radio is in some kind of pre-programmed "format" radio was like the wild-wild west--you might get a DJ (especially on some obscure FM station at the end of the dial) who would play something different.

People today can discover all kinds of music from literally all over the planet, and that's never a bad thing.

 

I might have been your dad.

Ooop just joking.

That was before they became the Silver Beatles.
(They painted their Wellington boots silver)

that was before they became the one and only Beatles! John, Paul, George, Stu and Pete.

 

Or John McCain. Or John Dingell. We will wait. Damn, maybe Trump just hates "Johns." Kinda hard to believe when he himself was a "John" for so many different women (forced or willingly).

 

How in holy hell has JK Rowling been cancelled for having a marginally different perspective on trans people and child rapist Michael Jackson is still cool?

America ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Is it still okay to like Jackson 5 stuff?

 

If you don’t mind going to BS hell.

 

Yes, cases. Our death count is low now ... because we're now 3-4 weeks after our case lows. It will be rising.soon enough.

 

What? Has she been banned from Twitter? Are her books no longer for sale? If "canceled" means criticized, then it means nothing.

And there was literally a whole movie made about Michael Jackson's behavior. How is the reaction to them comparable?

 

I’m sure, now that Potter has made her a “billionaire” she cares.

 

The man is dead only because a conservative is President of the United States of America. The other side freely provided the information required for him to stay safe. He didn't listen because he adhered to the very same philosophy as the President.

 

Shakespeare wrote some antisemitic stuff in his plays, Luther the same.
Still not cancelled.

 

I understand not wanting to contribute money toward artists who’ve done awful things. I don’t understand completely rejecting the artistic output of artists because they did awful things.

 

Well the TL;DR is that she's still alive and being a bitch and MJ is dead, but he's never been in my song rotation

 

Ah, Jack Mormon.

I lived in Park City before the Mormon Church and before Deer Valley. A friend of ours was excommunicated on her doorstep. Hell of a party that night.

 

You are forgetting: in doing all this, he OWNED THE LIBS! and hard.
