Over at Strat Talk there was a small cadre claiming that Rock n Roll does not actually exist, there is no actual Rock n Roll music, only all the music every kid ever liked which makes it all RnR.
I love what they say about the Velvets, only 1000 people bought their first record and everyone of them started a band.

Dude, tonewood. It's ALWAYS tonewood. Why? I can't answer that; it's a reason unto itself. Even now just mentioning it I feel the urge to wax philosophical on the fact that nobo... wait.
Stop.
Nope.
Not gonna do it.

Ya almost got me, ya sneaky little...
Good man. It's been difficult for a lot of us, I'm sure.

Bringing up your opinions about joining the banned is a quick way to join the banned.

Speaking of which, I have not sensed the disturbance in the force that is @blowtorch recently...
I'm sorry you feel that way. I would be disappointed if that were to happen because it's a great community.

This comment reminds me of a quote I like by Solzhenitsyn:

"You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me."

Or maybe it was Stolichnya. Either way. Peace!

I was adding a topic to your requested list of conflict inducing topics.
No particular feelings on my part, just a fact that if you raise the topic of why was I banned, you break forum rules.
Not saying your list was a comment on getting banned, even as it does have the potential to create confilct, I suppose it also has the potential to create unity as we see the humor in our ways of fighting for our "beliefs"!

Have fun within forum rules!

Caught a few minutes and learned of the existence of Harry Styles.

Guess I need to get out more!


I am trying very hard to be true to the spirit of the post, and I hope this is read as non-judge mentally as I intend it, it is merely a comment on the neurobiology of memory: when you learn something like this, they say you cannot un-learn it.

I misread it. Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it.

The word Katana always gets people riled up here. I think because because of Vanilla Ice Syndrome. We go from overhyping to bashing something that never really deserved either.
That's another one I had to look up. til; :)

Apparently my post from last week about Johnny Winter being "the best" wasn't well received by many. Removed and scolded. I think my intent was misinterpreted. Non-the-less I'll stay away from anything too provocative in the future.
I hope you don't do that, if the post is how you feel and respectful (I'll look up that one, cuz I like Johnny Winter and I can't tell you how many times I learned something new or revised a truly ignorant opinion of mine here by getting opinions like this. It has been, many times, though.
