    @Lewreader, re: your post yesterday, are you a former pirate radio operator? Are you aware of the pirate radio community on 6800 to 6955 shortwave?

    “jive turkey”? That is so 80’s.

    CLARK I was just mentioning in the 60s, between the FCC and the lack of commercial availability, us audiophiles had to trip over miles of wire to record one, maybe two albums a week. Any idiot with a store bought computor can pirate hours in seconds today. Guess you never hauled 200 lbs of equipment into a Dead concert. Some were satisfied to listeh to the 3 minutes and 23 second recordings offered by the recording industry. Or only listen to the playlist issued by the FCC. I remember when the FCC banned drug related songs from our 2 FM “underground” stations. Never could understand how “The Pusher” promoted drug use, but when you allow the government to deny free speech, the pirates came in.

    Weren’t the Pirates a pretty good team in the 60’s?

    Lewreader apparently claims he remembers the ’60s. Obviously he wasn’t there.

    Don’t jump to conclusions, galanti. Living in the sixties was a highly subjective and individual experience…a place and state of mind as much as a decade.

    And yes, I was there — I was in college then. But not even everyone who went to college in the sixties has the same memories of it…in fact, not everyone I knew then would.

    This should end with a real zinger. Perhaps the IRS charging 50% on said income. Perhaps Audits, scrutiny by G-men or blacklisting.

    So 50 Cent is “crazy and badass”? I just thought he was a shallow, loudmouth asshole.

    Maybe Gadhafi was offering 50 Cent tips on “How to Be More Crazy and Badass”…for a song or two.

    SCAATY_423 , it’s an old joke. If you can remember the 60’s you wern’t there. Possible you can’t remember the joke because you were there? For those of you under 30 think of Tommy Chong’s character on the 70’s show.

    This video satire on Qadaffi and rock is much funnier than GT’s latest strips:
