Living Colour

A rock band of Black Americans popular in the late 80s - mid 90s. They played a fusion of heavy metal and funk, tho they also experimented with other styles and genres, too. Living Colour wrote mature, intelligent lyrics to their songs. I saw them on David Letterman in the end of the 80s and they were stunning to the max. They were playing "Which Way to Your America?". The singer Corey Glover(who'd make a fine gospel singer) was screaming out the words like his life depended on it. Guitarist Vernon Reid ranks with the Edge, Jimi Hendrix and other guitar heroes. Bassist Muzz Skillings and drummer Will Calhoun churned out the rhythm. It was trandescent and the band got a big time standing o. In the 90s Muzz was replaced by Doug Wimbish. Living Colour broke down racial barriers in FM rock radio. They disbanded in 1995.

I saw Living Colour live in early 1991. They were magnificent. They rocked down the house. The opening act, Urban Dance Squad, got us primed up.

Eeeeeeeeyo! What's your favorite color, baby?

LIVING COLOUR!

Jedi mind trick

1. in Star Wars movies it's a utilization of the Force that Jedis use to persuade others to do their will.

2. simply, it refers to when someone who thinks he/she is an authority on something tries to convert or convince someone to believe something ridiculous or do something stupid by double talk, gab, outright lying, deception, utilization of ignorance or just plain bullshit.

1. Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi told Luke Skywalker that his Jedi mind trick would not work on him since Hutts are immune to such thought patterns.

2. that TV evangelist is trying to brainwash people into giving him money. I ain't falling for his Jedi mind trick.

hang the DJ

basically, it's a phrase used as an interjection when the radio station or club DJ is playing some trash. The phrase is used frequently by Morrisey on the 1986 Smiths hit "Panic" where he exhorts that the disco be burned down and the "blessed DJ" by hung up "because the music that they constantly play / it says nothing to me about my life". Considering that's true today, it ain't such a bad idea at all.

Johnny: Hey Joe! They're playing Britney Spears on the radio!

Joey: Hang the DJ!

Here's the beef!

In 1984, after the popularity of Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers skyrocketed thanks to the runaway success of it's 1983 TV commercial, which featured actress Claire Pellar asking the question "Where's the beef?", some men started sporting T-shirts that answered that question with the remark "Here's the beef!" as a joke.

When I was at a donkey basketball game I saw a man wearing a purple T-shirt that said in big letters "Here's the beef!".

At Least I Didn't Support Trump

This is a manifesto statement that you can fire back at anyone who insults you, criticizes you, abuses you or puts you down. It's a statement of STRENGTH and CHARACTER. It affirms that you use your brain instead of falling for any loudmouth hypocritical hateful egomaniac. It means that you never have and never will recognize Donnie Douchebag Jerk TraitorTrashTrump the immoral immature ill-mannered fascist racist sexist daughter-molesting SMF as a President of the USA or even as a human being. It means that you don't fall for false messiahs, Trumpster did say he was the 'Chosen One' after all. It means that you have more morals, maturity and scruples than the person who is badmouthing you. This assumption has NOTHING to do with partisan or political issues, it's a moral and ethical one. Trump is a quisling, a puppet of Putin, a Russian sputnik, and a shrieking scowling Caligula antichrist with a personality cult that hangs like a thick gloomy cloud. When you say this phrase, you are stating that you are an American who supports our Constitution and the freedoms it encompasses. It means you embrace the diversity of what makes America great. It means that you are nobody's fool, not a sucker, not a dumb stooge and that you think for yourself - that you are not an easily impressed ignorant starfucker. And attempting to overthrow the government after losing an election is NEVER cool.

1. Teacher: Billy Idle, why are you so lazy? You didn't read the assignment, did ya? You're not good for anything!

Billy Idle: At least I didn't support Trump.

(watch the teacher's face get red with embarrassment)

2. Dad (screaming to his daughter): You're not going out with Pinky Paul and that's that! I didn't raise you to be dating a lunkhead like him! He's a loser!

Sussudio: At least I didn't support Trump.

Dad: Arrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. When somebody is itching for a fight with you, just tell that moron 'At least I didn't support Trump', and that stupid cretin will probably leave you alone because you told him that you ain't a clod - that you're not dumber than a brick like he is.

Norwegian Wood

1. a tune by the Beatles that is notorious for possibly being the first rock'n'roll hit that prominently features a non-Western instrument - in this case the sitar. The lyrics describe the evolution of an extra-marital affair that John had that was now over. Paul sang the words. The title phrase is a play on phonetics - the line "knowing she would" in the lyrics was considered to be too risque for radio so that phrase was replaced by "Norwegian Wood". If you ask me, that sounds even more "risque" or at least funny to me!

2. what you get after a night of laying with a Norwegian woman.

1. in my college class of "Art and Music of the Post-WWII Era" one day our professor played "Norwegian Wood" as an example of the Beatles' contribution to music and culture. She explained the meaning behind the lyrics and then asked us, "Does anybody know why it's called 'Norwegian Wood'?". I think "Norwegian girl, woody...", then I start laughing. She says, "I hear some giggling back there!"

2. Garry laid a young Norwegian waitress he met at a restaurant. The next morning he woke up with Norwegian Wood.

Jesus

Quite simply He is the Messiah referred to by various cultures everywhere. He gave a new message of mercy and forgiveness. He had a very hard time selling these ideas. He still does. He performed many miracles in order to glorify God and His greatness. He's been given a bad rep by hypochristians, fanatics and other zealots who do evil things in His Name. All religions have their fanatics and Christianity (the worship of Jesus as the Son of God) is no different. Some atheists claim that Jesus never existed. Maybe some people don't think He is the Son of God, but for someone who doesn't exist He has made a tremendous impact on history and culture. Also, fairy tales generally don't last for over 2000 years. Besides, I'm not a Buddhist but there's no doubt that Siddhartha Gautama Buddha lived and died over 25 centuries ago.

Teleevangelists give Jesus a very bad name.
