If I remember correctly, Lightbulb is another of the full blown Alt-Right Trumptards on there. Are you thinking of Lightworker, perhaps? He's a Breitbart prick all the way.
Yeah, I think you're right.

I love The Beatles but I find those people absolutely unbearable. What's funny is I find that even when I've ventured into those threads...they kind of ignore you if you're not part of the gang. It's like a closed club...not that I want to be in that club mind you...but still. You get kind of a weird vibe from them if you post in those threads. That's really just a description of the Forum as a whole. An exclusive club that won't give you entry. Fairly quickly, most sensible people work out that they didn't want entry anyway. The Beatard threads are just the most concentrated version of that creepy feeling. I think every big music act from around 40 or 50 years ago attracts its share of 'tards, but the Beatles are a particularly huge magnet for irritating dumbfucks. The Rutles movie is somewhat amusing the first time, but the Beatards would love it even if it was the worst piece of crap ever - because it's really all about their lovely trouser-wearing boys.

Note to all the Beatard SHiTEs: The Rutles wasn't that fuckin' funny, certainly not worthy of being quoted ad infinitum fourty years later. Sorry, Mr Idle, Monty Python The Rutles is not. IMO The Rutles was a one joke idea that got ridiculously overplayed. I think even the best monty python moments get stale when people insist on repeating them, like you've never heard them before. The parrot sketch? Was that funny? I don't know because I just remember the amount of times someone felt they had to recite it. Interesting that you clearly take an interest in the Beatles, yet find a lot of the Beatards as irritating as the rest of us. I have to admit, I have retained somewhat of an interest and knowledge of the Beatles myself since I first got into them as a kid. But if anything a lot of the Beatards put me off wanting to listen them, rather than renew the desire. Is it the case with you that it's not so much, the subject matter as the mentality of a lot of them Beatards? I love Python but oddly enough most of the "best" Python moments are my least favourites ("Spanish Inquisition", "Spam" etc)...I'm kinda funny that way. As for The Beatles, yeah, I like 'em as much as the next person, I suppose, but the Beatards -these Beatles fans who are not only unhealthily obsessed with the group but also consider them to be the be all end all of all things musical- are enough to put me right off The Beatles. Shit, I've been immersing myself in jazz the for the last eight months or so, I got totally bored with the same ol' Dinosaur Rock music I'd been listening to for thirty years, and that includes The Beatles.

What’s funny is they are now assuming that since Mike Campbell is joining Fleetwood Mac that suddenly a plethora of Tom Petty songs will be part of the song list.

For a load of guys who refer to F. Mac as their favourite (or, laughably, 'second favourite') band, these Fleetards seem to absolutely despise the members of the band. Lindsey's a wife-beating psycho! Stevie's a lazy bitch! Mick just wants the paycheck! I hate, I hate, I hate! Where can I get tickets?

I don't know because I just remember the amount of times someone felt they had to recite it. I found Python and SNL hilarious at the same time -- circa 8th grade. Both were ruined for me by nimrods who would go around parroting (sorry) SNL catch-phrases and reciting the dialogue in unison with the movie during campus showings of Holy Grail.

Shit, I've been immersing myself in jazz the for the last eight months or so, I got totally bored with the same ol' Dinosaur Rock music I'd been listening to for thirty years, and that includes The Beatles. I was 5 when I saw them on Ed Sullivan so I was prone and got hooked line and sinker. No other group existed. Yeah I watched the teen music and variety shows, but The Beatles were my band. So at 11 I had to deal with the breakup and it forced me to look into other musical acts. Best thing that could happen to me. In 1987 I picked up the Hoffman forum Holy Grail, the "Blue Box", the 13 UK Beatles LPs. It was like rediscovering them all over again and I did start collecting the mono, etc., but I didn't shut out music and that meant current acts too. But, that was over 30 years ago so now they're more than familiar to me and you can only go there so many times. Funny you mention Jazz because I think there's an age we reach when we start looking back musically. I don't think it's natural when you're young, you should be interested in contemporary acts then and it's weird IMO if you don't. You should be listening to music that confounds previous generations. But, you reach an age when you are comfortable with other genres. It took awhile for me, but now I do have an interest in Jazz and it's due to the blasphemy to Hoffmanites that is music streaming. I wouldn't have paid for it on physical media, but if it's part of my subscription I'll get somewhat adventurous. So John Coltrane and Art Blakeley and the Jazz Messengers ended up in my playlist and now I'm open to related acts. Keeps me from getting bored musically.

Keeps me from getting bored musically. Making my own music is what keeps me from getting bored musically. I'm no Father Time, I admit, but, shit, who is?

There's a lot of "she should be thankful he turned her demos into songs" bullshit. HE should be thankful she had the star power and hits. How many hit singles did he have compared to her? I'll just point to Tusk as to what happens when Buckingham is allowed to go nuts.

I propose they hire Buck Dharma for the tour. Great guitarist and a good vocalist. Problem solved and I’d be interested. I think adding Bucks Fizz as singers would be great, too. They could call it the "Doing it for the Buckssss tour." Lindsey lives in LA, it's possible he can't do the tour 'cause a landslide brought him down. Split Mudcrutch Fleetwood There is no way they are going to do "The Boys Of Summer". Change it to “The Girls of Summer” slow it down to a crawl and you’ve got yourself a new Stevie Nicks single. Something like this: LOL Out on the road today, I saw a Fleetwood Mac sticker on a Tesla, A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back" I thought I knew what love was What did I know? Those days are gone forever, But Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow Maybe now Lindsay can replace Tom and Mike in the Heartbreakers. Paul could replace them all and then do all his own songs. Wow. This thread is still going and is immovable from page 1 of the forum. The only way it could be bigger is if they got Paul McCartney to replace Lindsey. It might get changed to Macca Fleetwood. One way to salvage this tour: redeem ticket stub at McDonald's for a Big Mac So I said, gdmn it Lindsay, you're not going out there and do that stupid Big Love thing on the guitar for the 15th straight year or whatever. 10,024 straight shows of that .....I'm sick of it, the noise drives me nuts, plus we have 17 fans who are screaming for the original version like we recorded it with all five of us playing... well, mostly you... but you know what I mean. Lindsay grabs the tape splicer razor and slashes a hole in the wall with his fist in front of Herb Moelis and Mickey, Davey, and I and says "oh yeah?.. well that could be your face". "I'm not changing the tune and ... beyond that.....from now on, we're gonna ALSO do every other hit song in the live set with only me playing the song on my buzzy little guitar.... except Chris can play too if she wants on two of the songs. Well, John speaks up at that point and says "I think you're daft... I wasn't going to tell you till we signed the Capitol deal, but I'm quitting the band'". Lindsay said, "fine, I'll play bass on stage too. I don't need any of you. So, this note goes up on the wall at Guitar Center on Sunset that says, "are you a guitar player who can play Big Love like on the Fleetwood Mac record?" If so, can you sing it too? If so, can you take orders from drummers? And stuff like that? If so, show up at Ben Franks on Thursday at 2 and we'll talk. Thanks. Steve Mike C, Neil Finn and Trini Lopez were the first guys to show up at Mel's. In fact Mel Schacher also showed up at Mel's. Two of the guys relayed that they would indeed play Big Love on electric guitars and with the full band and not complain. Mike could hit most of the singing notes and Neil could.. well, he agreed he wouldn't quit the band every five minutes to play with Crazy Horse. In light of everything, John reconsidered and said he'd stay at least until the rooftop concert. Lindsay was fired the next day. He just shook his head and said, "Big Love will suck without my acoustic guitar". I didn’t read all 50 pages... but at some point was it suggested that Sammy Hagar step in?

It seems BobbyMorrow, in dispair than an ONJ/Abba thread has slipped from the first page has decided to jump on the bandwagon and start a fucking poll on Tango In the Night “pick your favourites” to keep his dumb black-n-white ONJ avatar on page 1. What an absolute cunt.

It's his 5th or 6th poll this week. He's getting desperate. He's like a small child that demands constant attention. "Hey don't look over there, look at ME. And please gives me some more likes. Hey you're not looking at me again. Keep looking at ME" That's his life. If you search "Posts by member Bobby Morrow" it is plain to see he spends 16 hours every day doing this. And no, he's never funny. Edit. Ha, that was easy to find. I typed "Jimmy Osmond" into Discogs and found Bobby's CD collection. Exactly what you expected. www.discogs.com/user/soulkiss1985/collection?header=1
