The best conversations are held from 1-4 AM
It's amazing and completely thrilling to cover everything from politics, conformity, Ashlee Simpson, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, elementary school rules and regulations, Andy Warhol, Barack Obama, the psuedo-punk scene, how the democratic party has to shape up, the 80s punk scene, disrespectful attitudes of american highschool students, recollections of breaking the previously mentioned elementary school rules, minimum wage increases, the sixties, record labels, gay marriage, the definition of liberalism, high school english teachers, the flourishing of japanese and german education systems upon removal of their armies, INDEPENDENT record labels, commercialization, how people join alternative scenes in hopes to be considered different... only to find out that they are in fact joining another conformed group, Ralph Nader, legalization of marijuana, and the "extreme" nature of our nation like how everything is all or nothing, or how we are striving to be all or nothing. NO FAT, NO CARBS, NO SUGAR... what happened to balancing it all? Or extreme lifestyles... all fast food, or all... no food, and starvation.

Don't you agree?

4. In my experience
you are entirely correct! (But I am still perplexed ... what is the cosmic significance of angel dust and teenage Helen Hunt?)

5. Well, if you have to ask...you won't understand.
Sung to the tune of "If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it".

8. Crap! I missed some excellent conversations.
I think I would have particularly enjoyed the one on the disrepectful attitudes of American highschool students. Also the 80's punk scene and the pseudo punk scene.

Since I missed them--I'll toss out my random comment, and minor rant. I get really fuckin' irritated when I hear people refer to Good Charlotte as punk. What IS that? No self respecting punk would have EVER labeled Good Charlotte as such. I know of some 80's punk scenesters that totally would have kicked their silly, little, retro, wannabe punk asses. They are pussies, and I can't stand them or their music.

Ah, I feel SO much better now...

Carry on.

:)
Bliss

9. I get much too wordy at this hour.......
must be the spirituous liquor. I've however written some of my best work at these late hours, at least in my minds eye. Thank God I've had enough sense to re-read what I've written the next day. Actually some was quite good and very fluid, if you know what I mean.
