Imagine writing a panegyric to the Confederacy today. You would have your career destroyed. Based.

Arch- You could write all the songs you want about the CW nowdays, you just have to make it all black with all black officers and all the white folks stayed home and ate barbeque. If they want history rewritten then let’s get crackin’.

no offense, but im prettysure ending a statement with “based” is tantamount to liking your own comment..

and as with liking our comments, it is best left to others to declare something we said as based or cringe.

i wouldnt go so far as to say doing so automatically renders something as cringe, but some might and others do.

unfortunately, i learned this the hard way.

im just looking out for a fellow non anon, we need to constantly strive to function at optimal levels while we navigate these comment trenches.

its rough out here.

I was not referring to my own statement. I was referring to his writing a song about the Confederacy. The problem is that my comment was poorly written.

I was at Winterland for The Last Waltz. Great show. Carrying Mr. Clapton out to the microphone got laughs. Recording the audience (us) was brutal. Those lights are powerful. Not bad for a former ice rink.

Carny, that movie he was in, was always considered a cult classic for late night showings at the little local theaters back in the good old days. Sneak in beer and come stumbling out about one in the morning.
He was a real artist.

Levon Helm did not have much love for Robertson. I saw a doc years ago where he outright said Robertson took their money.
