The Music Thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

BFD, I could care less. I don't watch that crap. I guess you folks consider it to be worthwhile. I'd rather watch dogs crapping.
Ok, goddamnit, here's what: on Wheel of Fortune the puzzle was "sweet dreams are made of THIS" but the contestant read out loud (even though the word "this" was already present) "sweet dreams are made of THESE" and the controversy is that this line from a decades old Eurythmics song has apparently been misheard. Many think the line is "sweet dreams are made of these" (evidently most think this is what is being sung) but it's actually "sweet dreams are made of this." This is why the game show and music hit head on at ninety miles an hour on ice at night and you missed it. The only thing missing in the entire debacle is cowbell. And that, Punchy, is why you're a human punching bag here.

And when I did a Wheel of Fortune search it popped right up. Maybe Punchy does need a fourth grader to show him the Google thing. :-H

Attributed, perhaps mistakenly, to Abraham Lincoln (and sometimes Mark Twain)

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."
Geez, he just kept stupidly whining. Useless removes all doubt every day. Sometimes, even I feel sorry for him.

FYI:
'Hemingway Didn't Say That' (And Neither Did Twain Or Kafka)

Earlier this year, the Republican National Committee marked Abraham Lincoln's birthday by sharing a charming, if banal, aphorism attributed to Lincoln: "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

The problem is there's no evidence Lincoln ever wrote or said it, which critics on Twitter were only too delighted to point out....
:lol:
On the origin of the quote "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt," which has been wrongly attributed to both to Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain

The earliest evidence that I was able to find was a 1907 book by Maurice Switzer. And it seems to contain a lot of original material and it includes the statement "It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it." So it's slightly different phrasing, but I believe that is what evolved to generate the modern common version.
This is funny:
On the quote by author Anne Rice that even she mistakenly attributed to Franz Kafka

"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion." ... It was in an introduction to a collection of stories by Franz Kafka, and she was talking about how she'd been inspired by him. It was her perception of the way Kafka thought when he was writing his stories, but somebody reading that introduction thought that it must have been Kafka that said this instead of Anne Rice and so it started being distributed in that way.

I got an email from an individual who said that on Facebook Anne Rice had posted this quotation and she had attributed it to Kafka. And so that was enormously confusing to me because I thought that if anyone would be able to recognize that quotation, it would be the person who created it. So I sent a Facebook message to Anne Rice; she replied very quickly and said she would look into it to try to find out who actually created it. And then she came back with another reply saying that she'd discovered that in fact it was her words and that she had written it in this introduction, and as evidence of that she gave me a URL that pointed to my website. ... And it's understandable: She's written a large number of words and she'd written this more than a decade in the past....

Also, "Song Lyrics", "Song Titles," "Musicians," and "Musicals" are all common topics on W_EE_ OF FO__UNE. And it's not unusual for contestants to blurt out something ridiculous in their attempt to be the first to solve. Everybody knows the classic "Steinway to Heaven" I'm sure. :lol:

Probably because I've had YKW on ignore for at least a year now.

I'm happy to be spared YKW's nonsense in exchange for yours.

And that is a sweet dream!

I innocently asked what music has to do with WOF.

In response I got a cascade of insults from those who presumably knew the answer.

Fuck you all.

I never put anybody on ignore but instead prefer to just go ahead and look at whatever it is and then decide whether to ignore it or not. I mean, if something is particularly stupid or crazy I sort of wouldn't want to miss it even if I do ultimately ignore it.

Here is exactly what I first posted on this matter:

"What on earth does the field of contestants on "The Wheel of Fortune" have to do with rock music?"

Some of you all went totally ballistic over that innocent question.

You COULD HAVE simply answered with the reference to the sweet dreams tune.

But instead you all decided just to pile on, and have cerebral hemorrhages over my blocking of a certain especially disagreeable poster.

Shameful.

Not my problem.

No, I haven't tried to derail this thread. Unless you classify a request for information RELATED TO THE THREAD TOPIC AS AN ATTEMPT TO DERAIL.

When you use your refusal to read relevant posts and then in post after post demand to have the subject explained to your dumbass, go on and on claiming that the thread doesn't make sense when your only reason for posting is to brag to yourself for everyone else to hear that you have Vrede on Ignore, then yep, you are definitely and as usual trying to fill a thread with irrelevant crap.

Love the big letters too, I've long had you figured as a lnf Archie type. He's also stupid enough to think that speaking in caps conveys authority. Try bigger and bolder font for the full Archie.

I don't watch Wheel of Fortune. In fact, when it comes on right after the network news and they say "It's time for Wheel of Fortune" I immediately say "no, it isn't" and switch over to METV for MASH. But if I had a choice between Wheel of Fortune or watching dogs take a shit, I'd go with Wheel of Fortune. But I respect your choice and will figure when you post BFD it actually is referring to a "big fucking dog" taking a shit. Just out of curiosity, do you take video of dogs shitting? What's your favorite part; the actual shitting or the rear leg action that usually follows a good shit? Do you go over and look at the shit once it's done?

Of course he does, then he burns the recording onto DVD to add to his collection so he can watch it later.

The DVD thing is weird. Do you think he imagines that the world will look to him someday as the only repository of mid 20th century Hollywood movies and tv shows?
