Sooner or later they’d get me for one thing if not for another…

[But if] a fellow ain’t got a soul of his own, just little piece of a big soul, the one big soul that belongs to everybody, then…Then it don’t matter. I’ll be all around in the dark – I’ll be everywhere.

  • I actually came across a creepy campaign talking to my ol man yesterday. He was telling me he’s part of a postcard campaign to “get voters to the polls”

    I thought I’d anything it was voter intimidation. He was instructed to hand-write letters to a short list of people in NYC. There were 4 options of pre-made comments to leave, one of which was (iirc)

    'thank you for being a voter! who you vote for is private but whether you vote is public. Please vote this November 5 election"

    The other choices were a bit more innocuous but… Can you imagine being brown and getting handwritten no-return-address postcard from someone across the country who knows your name somehow?

    Fishy.



  • Tons of their songs and imagery and music videos and concert stuff also are like…gay sadomasochism stuff.

    I actually saw rammstein in concert (part of the family values tour) and while haven’t seen many live shows, it was easily the most unforgettable show I’ve ever seen anybody put on.

    I still remember:

    • Lead singer comes out for the opener with a laser eye and a metal jacket they then set on fire.

    • Missile launcher shot over the crowd

    • Laser show

    • Simulated gay sex with giant flashing robot strap-on

    • Same strap-on then sprayed water over the crowd (a blessedly cool relief in the pit honestly)

    I’ll never forget 'em
