General Music Chat

dane, i just saw a Sopranos episode from season two that used that tune! as always, david chase showed he had a knack for always making good choices when it came to music.

too bad the yahoo obsessed with where i work can't make better choices.

mine ain't always the best either, mind you. but i'm now choosing to limit my contact w anyone who would make up a story.... bragging about getting some liberal fired.

and then when called out about why he thinks that's anything to brag about.....concocts as his excuse some story about how he saved his 12 yr old daughter from being molested by the evil liberal. (as if any of this BS even happened)

i still taste a little bile from when i threw up in my mouth a little having to read that classless presentation. what total douchebagger behavior.

glen, i'd say it's time for a good long look in the mirror when you start trying win a range war on a mssgbrd by fabricating BS about your whether your daughter was molested or not. then again...that's just how I look at things.

no doubt.... i'm sure your daughter would feel very proud of you too.

that said.... no, i will NOT be sharing where i work. thank you very much.

REALLY?

who needs YOU showing up in your star spangled flasher raincoat? or worse?

This is sort of a bump... Because you are so FUNNY...

IMO everyone should have a job. the way I see it is there are givers and takers in this world. If your not working (contributing) to society you are a taker in one way or another.
Mark, I think Glens problem with you. Is you don't work and yet tell other folks how they should be in society. That they should give, while if you are not working that in itself is kind of hypocritical. You know I consider you a friend regardless of your employment status.

a giver and a taker makes sense, but would you not have to be both a giver and taker ? they sorta work in conjunction with each other.. when the fat ass billionaire living off stock dividends, stocks his great great grandfather passed down to him, is he not more of a taker than a giver.. afterall, it is not like he's earning his daily bread from sweat and toil like a Mexican migrant worker would be doing? yet the poor Mexican migrant worker is giving plenty back paying his income taxes.. while the billionaires dependents no doubt have their billions parked offshore, free from GIVING back to society..

Sorry you are falling for the Lies and divisive snow job the current president is feeding you Dane. Kind of foolish eh! The difference in the scenario you have posted is That Billionaire provides lots of jobs and that Illegal Mexican is the BIGGEST taker this society has ever known. Your attitude is ultimately going to bring down the U.S.

Except for the part the part about Glen having a problem with mark and mark with glen... This TOTAL BULL SHIIT.
That poor migrant worker is an ILEGAL ALIEN THAT HAS VIOLATED THE IMMIGRATION LAWS. They pay no taxes except for the hidden ones all progressives don't want to expose. Then the progressive attitude deteriorates to let these people in to BLEED the system and VOTE to keep us in power.

I'm not even going to go into detail because it would just be a waste of effort...

BULLSHIIT!

.... poorer "bottom half" (about 3,5 Billion people) now has about the same amount of money as the richest 85 people in the world, and the wealthiest grew their share of bounty in 24 out of 26 countries surveyed between 1980 and 2012, the study says. The research was compiled using data from Credit Suisse's World Wealth report and the Forbes' billionaires list.

"In the last 30 thirty years seven out of 10 people have been living in countries where economic inequality has increased," Nick Galasso, one of the co-authors of the study, told USA TODAY. "This is a trend that has been unfolding globally for the last two or three decades. What we've not seen is any political will toward curbing it."

The rich get richer, and the poor have less jobs ... and they have to slave for somebody else because their business was demolished by a trans-national mega corporation owned by a few billionaires.

Sorry if I insulted you Mark that was not my intention. You said you don't have a job that is what I have to go by. I always assumed you to be a professional musician. Nothing in the world wrong with that. You had commented on Glennys thoughts of you and I was just commenting from his perspective that's all.

no insult or slight taken, jeff.

i was just surprised that it appeared you'd drank glenny's Cruel Aide...his bitter brew of lies, innuendo, and half truths.

sorry, i don't recall ever saying that i "didn't have a job".

i suppose it is possible i mentioned at some point that i don't have a "day gig" but that hardly translates into "not working".

as you assumed i've been making my living doing music professionally....been full time at it since 2000.

recently someone asked me if i "make my living playing music"...i gave them my stock reply...."well, that depends on how you DEFINE making a living!"

i don't why... but it's clear glen's developed an obsessive and unhealthy fascination about where i work.

besides that being a little creepy...as i explained to him before (several times now) i don't share my personal info (such as where i work) w anyone who i believe to be of dishonest character, who lacks integrity, and who's shown they likely have a screw or two loose.

and certainly... i wouldn't share personal info w anyone who just bragged about getting some liberal fired.

a guidance counselor that was having a problem with my defiant daughter of 12 years. The only problem was he was doing the same liberal commie dance you do so well.

So I wrote a song, when I couldn't get a straight answer from him.

Then I got him fired for the slanderous and libelous actions he was attempting take as a petty little person.

he's clearly demonstrated that messing w someone's employment isn't below him.

perhaps he'll share...hey glen, why did you get him fired? because he was as you say "a petty little person"???

This is where I understood you to say you didn't have a job Mark?
Like I said if you are a pro musician, teaching, performing, recording ect. you are contributing to society and as I see it that doesn't make you a bad guy. We just see politics differently that's all!

Dane, Paleeze stop blaming successful people for your lack of ambition!

Is this the same guy who was making so much fun of my business?

Do I need to say any more than stop attacking my friends, think before you threaten, and stay inline with showing some intelligence.

All I ever see from you is some one that attacks and when you get your hand busted, you complain vigorously. What a shame. Take your hand off the hot stove.

I don't even have to insult you anymore... You get so pisssed off

Bump!

BUMP times 2. I apologize if any one thinks that Jeff is not only a GREAT PLAYER, but some one that has tremendous personal integrity.

I apologize only for your personal lack of respect for a great man, and dragging him into marks personal dislike of me.

This is so typical progressive. Do you really believe billionaire can keep his wealth by just parking it "off shore"? The answer is most have their money invested in companies that provide real jobs. The thinking that is most troubling, is your belief that they have NO RIGHT TO THEIR PROPERTY, in this case is money. You hint of outright theft.

As far as the sweat and toil of Mexican migrant workers... Look around. Not only are they taking jobs away from LEGAL Americans, but they are also working for lower wages. Mean while we have a government that is protecting this illegal activity and condemning the wealthy as a reason why there are no jobs.

This is one big circle of B.S.

if you do not think billionaires avoid paying taxes to the U.S. coffers then look at Romney where he keeps his money to legally avoid paying taxes.. Cayman Islands ring a bell GLENNY?.. the whole point of this thread was to point out the silliness of whether Mark has a job or not? while billionaires, many of have not HIT A LICK their entire lives living off the stock dividends, bond interest, rental income etc. all considered PASSIVE INCOME, and not EARNED INCOME from actually toiling away like a Mexican picking vegetables for little money because the "law" allows the exploitation of them.. once again, who writes these laws to THEIR advantage while the poor suffer although actually working, and working hard, and the billionaire does not even pay their fair share of taxes cause the money is in a Swiss Bank account or Caiman Islands..
