well under-rated live band... A MUST SEE!!
see, that's why it's such a bummer I didn't even manage to see this band at least ONCE while I lived in colorado. the opportunities were of sheer abundance! i read their band's name everywhere there, it felt like they were playing on a weekly basis...but I thought they're just an uninteresting & talentfree local combo...and drove down to denver to see nation-wide, overpaid acts...oh, silly me. I like this song. an instant 8. |

I for one stand corrected, you are absolutely correct, there are no thought processes that lead one to professing to be a conservative. |

These days it is the fossil fuel industry using right wing and "libertarian" think tanks to whip up fear and hate in order to protect their wealth and power. And while the modern pukes may not be killing anyone directly, their actions are leading humanity to disaster.
Right-wing hate and stupidity has been used by the wealthy and powerful to protect their wealth and power before. I think it is high time the modern-day "pukes" and their puppetmasters were called out and held to account.
"PUKE" is what I was my freshman year college, pledge, first semester, getting screamed at at the top of their lungs by 40 other grown men, me standing on ice cubes at 3 am on a Thursday morning, in my boxers. True story. I am sure it comes from the military traditions. |

(click here) to see the entire article Actually, they started out earlier in the '80's. They were a bar band in Boulder, CO and I saw them many times in the early days. Back then, they were pretty good musicians but did not do much more than play bluesy songs with a lot of Stevie Ray Vaughan covers and originals that imitated Vaughan's style on guitar. IMO, good but boring. They soon got to be very popular locally. Their style since going national is quite different from the early stuff, and much better.
