Parents Music Resource Center or for other people it's the Pushy Misanthropes Railing for Censorship. A bunch of fascist bitches who don't believe in the free expression of ideas. Stickering albums wasn't enough, founder Tipper Gore and her pestering friends tried to get ALL music that offended them banned. In the 90s many musical writers started to write more offensive music because the "Parental Advisory" sticker became a badge of honor. As a result, music offensive to the PMRC sold millions of units and scored high on the charts. The problem with all this is, people began to value "controversy" over artistic merit and the quality of popular music took a nose dive.
"We have a problem in America today. It's called censorship. We are the Ramones and we believe in the free expression of ideas and we have this to say tonight: FUCK THE PMRC!" Joey Ramone August 1990

Get the pmrc mug.a racist term that denotes that something is completely haywire. When one says that something is as "hosed up like a Chinese fire drill" it means that there is a massive confusion going on. The complexities and complications of the Chinese language is probably a factor in the use of this term. Still, it's a racist term to use because it implies that Chinese people don't have their shit together. Besides, if you were to see a REAL fire drill in China it probably would be just as orderly as one held in the West, even with the Chinese language being as difficult as it is. Sometimes the term "Polish fire drill" is used to mean the same thing.
Billy is 16 and taking driver's ed. He pumped the accelerator too forcefully. He killed the engine and needs to wait a minute or two, then start it up again. Sitting next to him is the driving instructor Gerald. Gerald tells Billy that he's got it all fucked up like a Chinese fire drill.

Get the Chinese fire drill mug.an overrated, cocaine-fueled, whitebread, surburban, corporate, Anglo-American "California" Seventies Adult Contemporary band with a strong yuppie and soccer mom fan base. Their "classic" 1977 album "Rumors" ain't so great. What they did in the Eighties IS an improvement, however. Still, they are a favorite of Tipper Gore, who tried to censor ALL music she didn't like, and take away our freedom of choice and expression. Fleetwood Mac is for those who don't like their music to be too challenging. This is a reason why we had to have the punk rebellion. Check out the members' solo albums for more exciting music.
Fleetwood Mac has a handful of decent singles (like "Tell Me Lies") but that's about it. When Bill Clinton was inaugerated in 1993, Fleetwood Mac reformed to play for the elite crowd. The muckety-mucks were on TV shaking their butts. WFD.

Get the fleetwood mac mug.basically, he's a wise man, a seer, a sage, maybe a prophet. He has great knowledge and great wisdom, much of it attained through experience. He may have a connection with God.

Get the holy man mug.a nickname for the fascist anti-Christ dictator who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Muslims, Croats, Slovenes, ethnic Kosovar Albanians and other people. He inspired the term "ethnic cleansing". Concerning Bosnia he ordered the deaths of thousands of Muslim men and boys in concentration death camps,where they were starved and beaten to death - and the rapes of over a million women and little girls. He claimed that he was "protecting" the Serbs, as well as the Orthodox faith in Yugoslavia, despite the fact he was an atheist. He was lying out the ass and everybody knew it. May he rot in hell forever.
Milosevic the son of a bitch died in war crime tribunal custody last year, while awaiting trial for the worst human rights abuses since World War II.

Get the Milosevic the son of a bitch mug.a son of Bob Marley who is a reggae superstar in his own right. He performed with his brother Stephen and 2 sisters in the Melody Makers in the 20th century and now is on his own, as is all the other Melody Makers. He is true to his legendary father's legacy.
I saw Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers as an opening act for the B-52s in 1990, as an opener for Midnight Oil in 1993 and as a headlining act in 1998. It was great Caribbean rock'n'roll and good vibes each time. See Ziggy Marley for top-quality reggae.

Get the Ziggy Marley mug.a citizen of the west African nation of Niger, once a part of the former French West Africa colony. 'Nigerien' is NOT to be confused with the word 'Nigerian' which refers to a citizen of neighboring Nigeria. And contrary to ignorance and popular misconceptions, the nation's name 'Niger' refers to the Niger River and the proper pronunciation is 'NIGH-jehr', NOT, NOT, NOT 'nigger'. 'Nigger' is an ugly racist word derived from the now unused word 'niggard' which originally denoted a lazy person (it's in some Shakespeare works) and DID NOT have racist overtones whatsoever. But Shakespeare lived in the 16th - 17th centuries and this is 2022, isn't it?
Mdou Moctar is getting some attention from the rock press recently and with good reason. He is an innovative Nigerien psychedelic guitarist who fuses Saharan African musical textures to his rock'n'roll. He sings and writes mostly in his native Tuareg language, and he's put out two CDs. The latest is from 2021, Rolling Stone magazine rated it four out of five stars. I saw and met him and his band live in a club in 2019 and the show was outstanding. Check him out, he's a new 21st century guitar hero.
