I tried to search whether we already got a thread like that but the search turned out empty, so I'm opening yet another thread ;D

This is mainly inspired by me finding out about Barns Courtney, he's incredible! Listened to him for the first time this morning, to loads of his discography on Spotify and there wasn't a single song yet that I disliked, which is extremely rare, I mean there are even loads of songs by the Stones that I skip, depending on the album :-X

Anyway, Barns Courtney, he has a great voice and the lyrics of some of his songs are kinda obscure I like that, basically a mix of 60s/70s Stones and Hozier, lyrics-wise...sound wise his older (2017) songs remind me of Imagine Dragons before they became boring and his newer songs of the Struts...he's touring with the Struts in autumn, this is how I took notice of him cause the Struts are my 2nd favourite band after the Stones and I cannot wait to see them live again <3

Apart from that:
Bad Nerves (who opened for the Struts in Cologne last year, this is how I found them lol, btw the Struts themselves have opened for the Stones before in 2014 and 2017, you see, it's all connected SOMEHOW)
Pvris
Nothing But Thieves
Brigitte Calls Me Baby
and I also enjoyed the opening act the Stones had in Boston, Red Clay Strays

he's 28 and has been on the charts for nine years,
does he still count as young ?

another one with andrew watt, live in a Nashville club

Not young at all but Joe Bonamassa is good

Wow I had no clue Post Malone is only 28! He seems to have been around for ages! That song with Andy Watt sounds neat, I gotta admit I basiclly only know his name but have never really listened to him

Btw some songs by Barns Courtney, since I praised him so much yesterday^^

This is basically a 21st century version of Sister Morphine (lyrics and mood wise)

https://youtu.be/T9MQz36MOP4?feature=shared

A song that sounds like he took some inspiration from his good friends, the Struts

https://youtu.be/5RUCmFN-8es?feature=shared

His most popular one, kinda reminds me of early 2010s Imagine Dragons

https://youtu.be/IrV90gXmOpA?feature=shared

thanks for posting some tracks, i like "dopamine" the most,
he's obviously very talented, but its tough sledding these days
for indie rockers and male singer/songwriters...

but for all i know he's happy with his career as is, so more
power to him. doing the crossover/collaboration thing,
like post malone and ed sheeran, is not for everybody,
jeez its almost like being a politician, being constantly on
the campaign trail

Inhaler.

I know Inhaler! Got them on one of my playlists, they're cool!

@Rev, so true what you're saying about it being tough for some of these younger rockers these days, it's literally incredible to me that almost nobody in Europe even knows the Struts while in the US they sell FoS tickets for 150 bucks at some shows (meanwhile last year I paid 30€ to see them at a club with a capacity of 500 people)
I guess maybe it's a reason why they're doing a co-headlining tour with Barns Courtney, even tho I'm not sure whether he is better known here...I'm excited either way, bought 2 tickets for shows in October today, one of them a M&G ticket, it was only 130€ on top of the normal entry price for getting to see them, autographs, pictures, early entry and some vip merch, will be totally worth it!!

I recently discovered Billy Strings. Never thought I'd listen to bluegrass but his stuff kicks ass and he's a really good dude, and spectacular guitarist.

I really like Evan Nicole Bell, she's just 27 and she rocks!

I don't want to hype the guy too much, as there are in truth very few
things he's done that i think are great. Just a lot that i find better than
most of what hits the radio...

But this incredible stat just crossed my screen, so i thought i'd share.
i had no idea...

Artists with the most RIAA Diamond singles in history (meaning their
song sold over 10,000,000 units)

Post Malone: 9
Rihanna: 7
The Weeknd: 7
Bruno Mars: 6
Drake: 6

i visited this other universe (so you don't have to) where music
artists "in concert" can overjoy a crowd by performing the same
chart-topper 5 times in a row...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuH7AfShpYs

its Kendrick Lamar's diss-track about Drake which in the course of a
month seems to have severely damaged the career of arguably the
second-most successful (t swift #1) artist in the world. These m-f'ers
play for deadly serious stakes. The lyrics...

Natural Child. If Keith Richards and the Replacements had a child it would be a Natural Child. Check them out.

@Rev, by 5 times in a row do you mean one time each during 5 back to back concerts or 5 times in a row during one show? ;D I have always said the Stones could do the latter with Rambler...if they played it on repeat during a show, I'd still leave happy  ;D

5 times in a row during one show, in the 20 minute vid above...

which i actually watched out of curiosity. and the arena was definitely
into it, apparently paying an average of about $500 per ticket, for
essentially no music, just simple beats and torrents of lingo, much
of it aimed at Drake

the 5th version, the last 5 minutes of the vid are the best, as the
audience commands the stage in a surprisingly harmonious manner

i have a very distant interest in rap records, most of it is far too
amusical for me (although every once in while something vibes
for me in a sorta dub reggae way). what i find most interesting is
the overdoses, murders, feuds, imprisonments etc, especially the
ongoing takedown of the, until the last few months, most successful
man in the genre Drake, famous for his disses of other rappers

If you live by the sword, gonna die by the sword
If you live by the gun, you're gonna die by the gun

If you live for revenge, gonna feel the backlash
If you live to be cruel, gonna bite you in the ass

I was liked Lucinda Williams. I always thought her and Keith should do a duet.

Lucinda young? She's 71, well... she's younger. Gazza was a fan

https://rocksoff.org/headers2024/j4-keith-w-norah-lucinda.jpg

She made an album of covers of the Rolling Stones in 2022

I love that tribute cd she did during lockdown
The video was awesome  :-*

this thread made me realize that currently i do not "like" any recording
artists other than the Stones, young or otherwise ("like" in the sense of
following what they're up to). There are many that I respect, but none
that I "like". 

So my "liking" these days is a track-by-track thing. If I intentionally
seek out and listen to a track more than five times, then i think it
qualifies as me having "liked" it...

its become rare for any new material by any artist to crack that barrier.
i'm generally content with historic material.

as i've noted earlier, "chemical" by post malone qualified (i've since
listened to his greatest hits, all pretty good, but nothing that i'll seek
out again).

other 2023 tracks i liked: "get him back" by olivia rodrigo and two
by machine gun kelly (the names of which i forget)

this year so far, also in the "pop tart" category, only "please please please"
by sabrina carpenter (not the james brown song)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF1Na4AIecM

p.s. just listened to it two more times, for a total i think of eight times,
which was one time too many. and i probably wouldnt have listened
even that many times if i didnt especially like how she says
"motherfucker"

hmm, this recent stones album, is there even one cuss word on it?
please please please, mick, for the new album coming this christmas,
return to your #$%?&# roots

Red, you want the lyrics to be coarse as cow cakes again?
There are maybe a few/a welter of double-meanings with vulgarity that might be acceptable at any kind of dinner-party. ("Leave by the sword" indeed). What more do you want?

WaiteringOnAFiend wrote on Jun 27^th, 2024 at 9:05am:

What more do you want?

1) there's this scene in 2019's Joker when Penny Fleck shouts at Arthur
"you're gonna give me a heart attack, i'm not talking to you until you
stop being angry", and Arthur represses himself and replies  "okay mom,
i'm not angry"

i think mick has (unlike Arthur, very knowingly) repressed himself on
Hackney and claimed (exactly like Arthur) that he's not angry. That's
basically the theme of the whole album and I don't like it

HOWEVER me not liking it is irrelevant to whether it was the right
approach for the Stones in 2023. I think it was obviously the right
approach as demonstrated by the album's success (especially in
comparison to the 2023 flops from the foos u2 metallica etc)

mick even anticipated the lack of enthusiasm from someone like me
on Mess It Up. "Did you really think i'd mess it up all for you?"

Yes i did. But i've had to face the fact that if Mick had catered
to my sensibilities, and un-repressed himself, and really let the
world have it, the album would have flopped

as if he hasnt proved it to me a thousand times before, mick knows best

2) i forgot about Måneskin, who i did follow for a while after they
opened for the Stones, and so i just checked in on them again,
and their combo of art rock, hard rock, instrumental chops, and
hard-days-night personalities has maintained for them a decent
sized and enthusiastic fan base, especially in non-anglo europe.
good for them. in the category "young rock bands" i guess that
makes them still my pick

(they've even got the balls to include a drum solo in their shows)

Rev, you're saying the Stones should go back to their roots after HD, yet I think if you look at every single one of those songs separately, you could find each of them on another of their prior records, what most easily comes to mind right away is SSOH could be on Exile, I mean listen to that instrumental, that just screams Exile at you, then Driving Me Too Hard could be on Steel Wheels, look at the lyrics, it's obvious it's about a time where Mick and Keith didn't get along too well, it's comparable to Mixed Emotions lyrics wise, or maybe also to Baby, Break It Down on Voodoo Lounge, then Rolling Stone Blues could obviously be on Blue and Lonesome, BMHO could be on Some Girls or maybe on Tattoo You, just to name some examples

Thanks for sharing that vid of Sabrina Carpenter, I had no clue of her existence until yesterday when I stumbled upon some idiotic gutter press article talking about the way millennials are wearing socks vs Gen Z and she was pictured as an example for Gen Z and I was like lol idek who she is...her music is too radio-pop-like for my taste...tbh the only younger female pop artist that I like is Lady Gaga, the other ones aren't pop xD

Also Måneskin is amazing, I saw them live last year, here if you wanna check out a vid I took, but their fans made me feel old cause they all were in their late teens or early 20s at most and therefore about a decade younger than I  ;D :-X

https://youtu.be/s7p2shPH92E?feature=shared

Anyone who likes their mo'fo said/done English/Mancunian style, with quite a bit of Stones  in there and funky trousers should hear again 'Shake Your Money' by Black Grape; a tune surely built on the keyboard riff of 'Miss You' and in which the 'ooo-ooo' is pronounced like Jimmy Saville  done by Jerry Sadowitz.

1) cool vid, r-w, thanks. i take it that's a german crowd singing along
in italian ? impressive

most of the live vids i've seen from them have been at festivals,
which seems to be their bread and butter, so i wouldnt argue if
someone were to brand them as "festival rock"

but this somewhat less frenetic song/vid of theirs remains my fave

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZjnfWx0cvw

2) i shouldnt have used the word "roots". i tried (and failed) to
distinguish what i meant by using the phrase "$%?&# roots"
because i wasnt really referring to the music. i was trying to
reference their historic importance as resistance artists and
cultural commentators, which usually has entailed a bit of nastiness
and controversy.

but i'm aware this is my private thing. i've been careful not to
criticize either the band or the fans for not sharing my obsession
with this particular aspect of the Stones. i've been happy for
the near-unanimous happiness that this album has caused,
even if i don't feel it myself...

one more thought: last week when i was deep into the kendrick-drake
battle royale, spontaneously in my head "live by the sword" started
playing (until then one of my least favorite, least listened-to  songs
on Hackney). and while retrieving the lyrics to post on this
thread, i could hear the stonesiness of the music for the first time
with clarity, and appreciate it more or less i'm guessing like many/most
here do.

i mean, in a similar vein, why did it take me about ten years to
appreciate "Citadel"?

its just how i'm wired. sometimes i get things instantly that other
people are struggling with, and sometimes the opposite.
Because when it come to music i'm an emotional guy and a
stubborn kind of fella. but i'm never trying to rain on anybody
else's parade. i went quiet around here for six months to
avoid just that.

Yes, I do understand what you mean by "their historic importance as resistance artists and
cultural commentators" but it's not like they have had countless of songs about social or political topics on every single record

There is Sweet Neo Con on ABB, none on Bridges to Babylon, Blinded By Rainbows on Voodoo Lounge, Rock and a Hard Place on Steel Wheels, none on Dirty Work, maybe Slave on Tattoo You if you interpret it as a criticism of capitalism, Indian Girl on Emotional Rescue, It Must Be Hell (and maybe Undercover) on Undercover, When the Whip Comes Down on Some Girls, none on Black&Blue, Heartbreaker on Goats Head Soup, none on Sticky Fingers (unless you interpret Brown Sugar like Keith suggested as a potrayal of the horrors of slavery idk), none on Exile, Gimme Shelter on Let it Bleed, SFM and Salt of the Earth on Beggars Banquet, can't tell anything about Satanic Majesties and all the records before because I never really listen to them much xD

But as you see, ever since the 70s there has been only at most 1 song on their albums that could be classified as social commentatory, so it's not like they make stuff all the time like e.g. French hip hop artists Kemy Arkana who basically only has social crirical lyrics about French society amd politics

Edit: I just remembered that Mick said last year that Angry was supposed to be aboht the difficulties of our current times making people Angry and I really wish he would have written that instead of those dumb, lazy lyrics it got instead, maybe then I'd like the song more, but overall I didn't enjoy it much live and I wish they'd play Get Close or Depending on You or Driving Me Too Hard or BMHO, or ANY other HD song instead, because tbh after hearing Angry and Mess it Up (which I didn't enjoy much on the record at first) live, I gotta admit that while I loved MiU, Angry hands down is the weakest and worst song on the entire album and imo the only reason they made it the first single is their marketing with the "Don't Get Angry With Me" and bursting glass because it fits the entire Hackney Diamonds theme...

Also about Måneskin, to get back on topic ;) I saw them at their own show, not a festival  but yes they seem to play many festivals...also loads of Italians watching my vid commented as well on how Germans knew every single word of the lyrics in Italian and I have read of fans online who learned Italian just because of Måneskin, which kinda reminded me of the mid-2000s when German teen rock band Tokio Hotel was popular and all the French and Italian teen girls started learning German to understand lyrics ;D well tbh it'a one of the best ways to learn a language, in middle school and high school my teachers were regularly impressed by my vast vocabulary cause I knew way more words than we had learned and one teacher asked me why so and I said because I translate my favourite band's songs and interviews (at that time in the late 2000s it was 30 Seconds to Mars who sadly suck now)

r-w, we're gonna have to drop this "social/cultural commentary" discussion
because we're talking about two different things. You're talking about
politics and I'm not. As an example, for me, every single song on
the Dirty Work album is aggressive social/cultural commentary,
and for you its not, so we've got no way forward on this...

so, getting back on topic, i've favorably mentioned two young
rapper/rockers on this thread, post malone and machine gun kelly,
and right now both are having success with good country music songs,
which appeals to me not just musically but socially and culturally
as well

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoeXmaSE7Lo


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZnbTEs4O6U

Not sure if he'd like to told so, but Rev seems right and dandy on both counts.

I see we have a completely different definition as to what counts as social/cultural commentary, Rev, and I'm asking this not to challenge you, but because I'm actually interested and wanna try to understand where you're coming from, so since you say you define every song on Dirty Work like that, can you explain to me about Had It With You? Because Keith has admitted to writing this song about Mick and their differences at the time, and as I see it, this is about an interpersonal conflict (as many other songs on Dirty Work as well), so it seems to me, but maybe I'm understand it wrong and please emlighten me, that for you, when you're saying social commentary, you mean interactions and stuff between people? But what makes the lyrics to e.g. Depending on You or Driving Me Too Hard different from that then, so that it won't count? I'm honestly interested here^^

Also I listened to the two YT videos, the one by Post Malone sounds like something you'd wanna turn up the radio and sing along to while driving it'sfun! And I have never listened to a song by MGK before, but his voice aounds nice :)

Black Angels, King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard, Wooden Shjps

thanks for smoothing the waters, r-w

okay, i'll try to be brief. it is my perception that

1)"you" is very commonly used in jagger's lyrics quite literally, that is,
to refer to his listeners. now obviously his listeners are a very diverse
bunch so he's conceptualizing them all together as sort of one person,
and he then addresses that person very similarly to how live, particularly
pre-89 when Stones audiences were a sort of beast, mick would vibe out
an audience and adjust his performance to best incite us. He'd try to
make us his bitch, and would thankfully often succeed.

2) this use of "you" as i said is common, but its not some kind of iron
clad rule.  "you" can mean keith, also "I" can mean not Mick but Keith,
since it is keith's music/emotions that mick is interpreting lyrically.
further, in my opinion, mick and keith's relationship has been at
times so important that references to it by either party have resonated
across the wider culture

3) and of course besides his audience as his metaphorical woman,
there are the actual women in mick and keith's lives, who have
been generally extremely strong and reflective of their eras, so
if the lyrics reference any of them it often had broader implications

so, if you take this kind of approach to his lyrics, its not like you have
some kind of rosetta stone, to get an exact answer. All you get
is the basis of a discussion on what the Stones were saying, most
importantly, about us at that particular time. About what were Mick
and Keith's emotions at that particular time on that particular day
about being a rolling stone...

so "had it with you" becomes (at least for me) one hell of an example

And I love you, dirty fucker
Sister and a brother
Moaning in the moonlight
Singing for your supper

Always try to taunt me
Always seem to haunt me
Serving out injunctions
Shouting out instructions

I love you with a passion
In and out of fashion
Always up behind you
Others tried to blind you

It is such a sad thing
To watch a love go dry
I've had it up to here, babe
I've got to say goodbye

Yeah, you loved me in your lean years
Loved you in the fat ones
You're a mean mistreater
You're a dirty, dirty rat scum

Thanks for the explanation, I'm kinda agreeing with parts you mentioned in point 2 and 3 but I don't see the "you" in this song as referring in a common, broader sense, I get what you mean by this in general tho, best example coming to mind immediately is Satisfaction where the "I" isn't Mick himself but every single one of us...but I don't see this much in the "you" of Had It With You and actually think this one is much more personal and not some abstraction...but hey, reading and understanding song lyrics is like interpreting poems back in literature class in high school, as long as your argumentation was great, the teacher still would give you a good grade even if your interpretation was different from another classmate's and yet another one's and even from the teacher's one  ;D

agreed

I enjoy most of the newer bands I hear on Channel 21, LSUG.
The greatest radio station in the world as they play a min of 1 or 2 Stones songs per hour it seems,
as well as the best punk, surf, and girl bands around.

I also seem to already be fans of 1-3 of the Stones opening acts in Europe every tour...The Kooks, Struts, Vaccines, et al

Love it! I can hear HTW many times and never will be tired of it, and there are some great covers, this was great, with a feeling

Not sure how many of y'all dig this band, but I have had Twenty One Pilots on repeat lately. I feel like they're one of the few alternative pop bands who have been consistently good their entire career. I'm looking forward to seeing them August 16 at Ball Arena in Denver, too!! :)

another very good andrew watt-produced track has entered the Top Ten

i really wish i felt the same way about watt's production on Hackney

anyway, even though she's drifted in and out of my consciousness for about
a decade now, i think she still qualifies as young...

Listening to the newest album by Barns Courtney that came out last week or so, it's pretty good! Not one song on it that I dislike :D

also I think Rev would have fun with the lyrics of that one, loads of social criticism and stuff in there for him to interpret, if you wanna check it out, and I mean this entirely unironical :)

r-w, i'm mostly like everybody else here, i pay almost no
attention to lyrics

mick is the only exception, and even then, its only
something i eventually get around to. I'm a music guy,
so much so that i'm often unable to sing along accurately
to my favorite songs

Mick is the exception because my experience with mick's
lyrics is that there's almost always buried treasure
there. Sometimes VERY buried, as with Hackney. Took me
nine months to find it...

The most important point i've been making during my
30 years online is that Mick's full meaning is often
INTENTIONALLY buried. The literary device he uses
is known as SIGNIFYING.

Signifying originated during slavery days as the method
slaves used to communicate important information amongst
themselves, within easy earshot of the slavemaster, without
the slavemaster knowing what they were saying. Something
as simple as "I'll be going to church on Sunday" might mean
there was gonna be a helluva party on Saturday night down
by the river...

Here's something from Wikipedia, about how signifying has
been used in black music ever since:

"...it uses material rhetorically or figuratively by
trifling with, teasing, or censuring it in some way.
Signifying is also a way of demonstrating respect for,
goading, or poking fun at a musical style, process,
or practice through parody, pastische, implication,
indirection, humor, tone- or word-play, the illusions
of speech, or narration, and other troping mechanisms...
Signifying shows, among other things, either reverence
or irreverence toward previously stated musical statements
and values."

i've written tons on this topic over the years, generally
to no avail, so i won't waste any more of my breath today.

Charli XCX...she's edgy enough...and really not too threatening...shes a hustler

Hahah, then I got the wrong impression, Rev, was thinking the way you were interpreting all that stuff into those lyrics it's one of your special interests or something in general^^

I always loved doing this with lyrics and poems (literature major in high school :P) but by now I only try to interpret certain songs...

Also thanks for pointing out signifying, I don't recall that stylistic device, probably cause it's not only looking at the texts but also the way they are performed...I guess Far Away Eyes would be a good example for poking fun at a musical style cause Mick certainly isn't taking country music seriously here ;D

A young London band, only founded last year, they just got 4 songs out so far and I only randomly discovered them yesterday cause my friend send me one of their reels on IG in which they were just sitting around chatting and I first thought they were just influencers before looking them up some more and figuring they're a rock band LOL but anyway, look at the guitarist's post here (especially swipe to the 2nd pic ;) )

assembled from its vast collection a new show featuring historic paintings
of the fool/jester/joker...

Here's the tease from the Louvre's youtube channel...

Keith, Billboard, 2018

“Lady Gaga’s good, she’s got real talent, like Amy Winehouse. And hey, if
Tony Bennett likes her, how are you going to argue?"

Keith, Guitar Player, 2023

"I understand being nervous about Lady Gaga on the record, but she’s
one of the Stones now."

Two more new ones from the newest Stone alone...

If they could see me now
My little high school group
Traipsing round this million dollar chicken coop
I'm rubbing elbows with the cream of the crop
Whoever said there ain't no room at the top

i've completely gone off Gaga now. turns my stomach

this was such a harsh statement on my part. so i feel
i need to slightly explain myself...

1) Gaga remains one of the most talented performers
in pop music history

2) i don't worship talent. i don't worship technique. i worship
taste and vibe and fun, i worship clear eyes and pure hearts and
sincere love-filled agendas. Hence for me, its always been Mick
and Keith on top

3) in 2023, Gaga risked the wrath of her LGPDQ+ fan base
with her open embrace of her trump-supporting father
and "right-wing" director Todd Phillips and the "sexist"
Rolling Stones. Culturally she set out to be a uniting figure
and healing force.

4) This took balls. Her fan base rejected her efforts,
and were happy to see these projects "fail". Her hardcore
fans demanded she reject even her highly successful
"tony bennett" era, and resurrect her extreme "mother
monster" gender-fluid "born this way" persona. Which
she has now done...

5) ...and which hurts my ears. Her "new" music is so forced
and fake and desperate... But her ever-shrinking hardcore
fan base is cheering her on as she attempts to swim
against the current cultural tides as represented by the three
little hotties i've been highlighting in this thread (and who are
all writer/composers as well)

6) Gaga's upcoming schedule is insanely ambitious as she
promotes her new album Mayhem. Pedal to the medal,
instead of taking the break she so obviously needs.

7) A few times in her career, Gaga has driven herself to a
complete emotional breakdown. And that's what i'm worried
about currently...

1) Jan 24, 2025 US Dept Justice press release...
Pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer), has agreed to pay
$59,746,277 to resolve allegations that its subsidiary Biohaven
knowingly caused the submission of false claims to Medicare and
other federal health care programs by paying kickbacks to health
care providers to induce prescriptions of Biohaven’s drug Nurtec ODT.

2) March 2025, Gaga's fans sighted holding out their Nurtec
prescription packages for her to sign

DOJ Investigation Raises New Questions !



Perhaps the most important question (as posed to our AI research assistant):

When did Lady Gaga first reveal that she suffered from a
lifetime of migraine headaches?

Lady Gaga first publicly revealed that she suffered from migraine
headaches on June 13, 2023. This disclosure occurred when she
partnered with Pfizer to raise awareness about the condition during
Migraine and Headache Awareness Month. In a statement to
Pfizer.com and through a casual video posted on her social media,
she discussed how migraines have impacted her life, marking this
as the earliest confirmed public mention of her struggle with
migraines based on available information. Although she has been
open about other health issues, such as fibromyalgia and chronic
pain, in earlier years— notably in her 2017 documentary "Gaga:
Five Foot Two" and various interviews— there is no specific
evidence prior to June 13, 2023, where she explicitly discussed her
migraines publicly. Her collaboration with Pfizer included a
commercial for Nurtec ODT released around this time.


So we now have these important new questions that need answers...

1) Does it stink to high heaven that Gaga suddenly gets a big
fat contract to promote a drug for a "lifelong" condition nobody
including her ever reported her as having?

2) Could this stench now have reached the big noses at DOJ, where
they have already nailed Pfizer for $60 million in fraud
reimbursement in connection with this product ?

3) And could Gaga's sudden admission to the NY Times, that
she was recently psychotic without a firm grip on reality,
be part of an "insanity" defense strategy in case she's charged
with fraud for her migraine claims?


Remember please that all we have currently are questions
(that demand answers). Nobody is accusing anybody of
anything. The presumption of innocence is paramount.

These young ladies rock! Too heavy for me but they are good

Summer's prob sorted, innit,  ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zytugwAeu1Y ) but Winter could be blinding.

I hyped her earlier in this thread. She was showing off herself as a
natural down-to-earth sex kitten. But she's gone arty now, and
consequently her two recent singles have kinda flopped...

Meanwhile my two faves from this thread have been trending
numbers one and two on youtube. I don't feel either track is great,
but I'm finding both to be quite enjoyable. They're hard workers...

Tell me, would you wait for me?
Baby, I'm a rolling stone
You should run away with me

Mick was quoted saying that it was Yungblud and MGK that were helping
rock music to hang in there...

...but for me Yungblud's new single is just kind of depressing, even though
i know its meant to be compassionate

Both stink

depressing? the subject matter/video depiction is depressing of a woman dying of cancer but the message certainly is not...he's celebrating heroic work by nurses on a daily basis.....his messages are powerful....and I love some of his music...the energy...the sudden changes like an aderall fix.
