One of the worst bands ever, "Second Chance" was played over the radio so many fucking times. Thank god that stoped, but now they play this shit that sounds like something an angry garbage man would listen too.
radio: My eyes are open wide, by the way I made it through the day...
jimmy: WTF is that supposed to mean
me: idk, shinedown sucks, change it to dc 101

The best band ever. Members are:
Brent Smith- lead singer

Zach Myers- guitarist
Barry Kerch- drums
Eric Bass- bassist (he also plays piano)

Shinedown is a hard rock band originally from Florida, but Brent was originally from Tennessee (idk about the others). They used to have a different guitarist and bassist, but that was before I was born. They have seven albums as of 2023. My favorite is the sound of madness.
-leave a whisper

-us and them
-the sound of madness

-amaryllis

-threat to survival

-ATTENTION ATTENTION

-planet zero

They write amazing songs that are very meaningful. A major theme in their songs is mental health. They strongly advocate for mental health and they all have had their own struggles. Brent struggled with drug addiction, but he is better now. Eric had clinical depression, but I think he’s doing better now. I think Barry had bipolar disorder, but he seems to be working through it and is a lot better now. And Zach said that he would be in a really dark place if it wasn’t for the band. Shinedown has saved many people, including me. I found them almost a year ago, and I was going through a really bad time. Shinedown has helped me out a lot. You should listen to them. Some of my favorite songs are:
- call me
- if you only knew
- GET UP
- 45
- cut the cord

and many others.
Shinedown is my favorite band. GO LISTEN TO THEM!

Another name for the not so well-known operating system Windows.
It can be used jokingly or derisively, or even both ways.
And I thought my PC was as good as dead. How come it fixed itself magically?

Shakedown Street 

the parking lot, or large area, outside os Grateful Dead or Phish shows where everything from drugs, burritos, tie dyes, incense and clothing were sold. Shakedown was the place where one could chill before or after a show and find whatever it is one was looking for. Most known for it's open air drug supermarket where cats would have nitrous oxide tanks in the back of cars and sell balloons of nitrous for $5. also people would walk around uttering "trips trips" or "kind bud."
Man Shakedown Street was sooo much better at Deer Creek last night, they only have green tabs I wanted the sunshine

shakedown 

(n.)

Another word for extortion/blackmail, or the obtaining of a good or service through means of force, threats/intimidation, or abuse of power.
Shakedown by force, threats and intimidation:

The Mafia would usually give small business owners "the shakedown," in which if the owner did not pay protection money (or "tribute") to the Mafia Don, their store would mysteriously be firebombed by vandals (read: Mafia thugs) who presumably would have been deterred if the owner had opted to partake in the Mafia protection plan.

Shakedown by abuse of power:

City councils are notorious for shakedowns by abuse of power. Suppose you bought a house for an inflated price of $50000, before property values started declining. The state wants to build a highway, and decides that your house is in the way. You don't want to move, but they offer you $25000 to pack up and leave. If you don't leave, the council will employ the eminent domain laws, which will simply *force* you to leave and *force* you to accept a measly compensation of $15000 (fair market value) for your property. While such practice is actually legal, it's still a shakedown, because if you don't agree to their initial unreasonable demands, you're going to be even worse off as a consequence--just like debating whether you want to drown in your own piss, or someone else's.

Shanty Shakedown 

The act in which a coke whore or any cocaine addicted female places a generous amount of cocaine on the tip of the males penis. The female relentlessly likes the tip of the penis dousing the dick in saliva and cocaine. The man can then last extended amounts of time while plowing his coke whore girl friend. When the man finally finishes he feeds the female a heavy dose of cum and cocaine mixture by placing his cocaine induced load on the tip of her tongue thus sharing his load with his mate as they both experience a numbing sensation in their genitalia.
The sweet indian girl gave her white nympho boyfriend a Shanty Shakedown. sex lasted for 2 numbing hours.
