Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Devil's Advocate here with a hot take that will probably piss off GAW:
What is it about Oliver Anthony and his songs that makes it good?
Just finished Rich Men North Of Richmond. Good singing, but I heard much better, and I was not really impressed. Just a hillbilly bitching about his problems with a guitar.
His problems minor abuse at "some island"
For all those who are not impressed with his music, why don't you pick up a guitar and give it a shot using very limited musical equipment?
I'm dying to hear it....
John Lee Hooker was a true original and a genius in his purity of style.
Aw, Hot Dog!🌭, I think Led Zeppelin did country pretty good, as well!
It's not my favorite style, by far, but I agree with the sentiment. (Others' remixes of it have been better, in my opinion.)
He said several things that were "extremely pregnant" in all of us. Plenty of things repressed - like pushing down against a heavy spring - that were released for the collective... Like a part of us was finally put out of misery after severely being repressed.
Somebody finally understood "me" regarding:
So that's essentially why the song took off...a good yardstick into people being fed up - some call this phenomenon, The Great Awakening
^^^^
Was formulating a reply. Don't need to now.....
Minors at "some island"
Definitely. Art will always reflect the current consciousness of humanity. The luciferians have been controlling mass culture through art (music, movies, art, literature). This song is a song of protest that is outside the luciferian entertainment industry. It strikes a cord in all freedom loving people who have HAD IT with this Godless system of control.
I love that quote! That's exactly what I was trying to say and Ayn says it so beautifully. She too is expressing how powerful Art is and its impact on the human soul. No wonder the fallen ones have highjacked Art for millennia.
I'm so excited to see the Art that will come out out the golden age of man that we are approaching. The NOBILITY OF The HUMAN SPIRIT will be able to SOAR, finally! ❤️
