    It is really normal when you think about it. It is the evils of capitalism.

  2. Is that title some southern idiom? I don't get it.

    Do not take your genetics for granted. At the same time I had my heart attack, I also got diagnosed with diabetes (A1C of 13.1, glucose of about 315 - YIKES!!!). Because I don't drink, I don't smoke, I generally exercise, and I am not overweight, as for the diabetes part, the doctors think I have Type 1.5 (relative new type, but has components of genetics).

    it was anyway, until Johnny kicked his ass...

     
  11. Only if played by a 4 yo, who got hold of it and plays a sublime cover of "Chalkboard scraping opus 1".
    In other cases it becomes clear why the sound of the violin matches the human voice the best of all musical instruments.

    I don’t know if that makes me evil, but I’ve always thought the devil’s solo was much cooler than Johnny’s.

    I read an interview with Charlie Daniels where he said it was an intentional, based in his love of Milton’s Paradise Lost. He found it interesting that most of the Romantic poets thought Satan was the most interesting character in the poem, so why not pay homage to one of the most famous misreading in literary history by re-enacting it in this song?

    I’m surprised that no one has noticed that his song “Mississippi” is basically a rewrite of a Eudora Welty short story.

    Well, I'll be damned. I supposed it's my own internalized hatred of southern yokels but I just assumed Daniels was a shitlicking fool.
     
  18. When one filters out the dipshit stuff on BS you actually learn interesting stuff from several corners.

    Hi, have we met? I’m Dr. Wankler.

    I made that up! I have no idea if Charlie Daniel’s can even read.

    It's you. I'm not a fan of Daniels, but your prejudices are showing
    The bass line certainly is

    Definitely.
