He was living next door to a drug dealer in Saint Kilda, Melbourne and he wrote this about people and dodgy characters constantly knocking at his flat as they'd get the wrong door. It left him feeling shaken as he never knew who next was coming to his door. Colin sang lead on the original so...

Jazz is still popular in Japan. It was even so during World War II. Momoiro Clover Z started out as a girl group 17 years ago and shows amazing longevity. Typically in a girl group you are replaced once you turn sixteen years old. A great display of Japanese teeth. Their jaws tend to be...

Give South Korea some too. They don't have the superskill but rock isn't about skill. Got live (in Canada) if you want it.

About as energetic as rock ever gets.

I love this concert by Hagane[steel]. They're inspired by Judas Priest. I thought Judas Priest had good music but couldn't tolerate their leather bar image. It's nice to have it all cleaned up by beautiful Japanese maidens with stratospheric skills. Who would have expected this to ever...

Harvard stopped requiring SATs for a few years but evidently got poor results as now they are back. I'm not surprised -- letters of recommendation and essays are a joke and grades are so inflated they aren't much use either. I don't see how they can stop students from lying about...

I got into Harvard because they needed a bass guitarist for student theater.

He starts out in the wrong key. No audience, no harm.

While they did not do this, they did hire young lookalike men to play them in a recent video (In The Stars). I can't imagine that they could get such similar lookalikes so I bet it's AI enhanced. If you are going to do that, why not use AI to make your voice stronger and younger too?

Has a better player of ballads ever walked this Earth?

Infinity literally means "without end." It doesn't have anything in particular to do with the natural numbers. Things can be considered infinitely small because they are endlessly small. No matter how small it is (but not zero) there is something that is smaller.

I don't know that it means anything. It's just an interesting fact. That's what "pure mathematics" is all about. If you make any reference to meaning they don't like it. They want no reference to the real world contaminating their math.

The AI investors will want their trillion dollar investments back and plenty more on top of that. Once the customers are hooked prices go up and quality goes down.

That is true but is a rare exception. And the courts ruled that the Ford corporation had to concentrate on issuing dividends instead of bolstering community welfare.

The further south you went the shorter it was. A young male in the Caribbean lived five years. Women, three. This maximized profit. Alexander Hamilton saw this first hand as a young man, making him an abolitionist. Wars are dramatic but not really that deadly, with some exceptions. Belgium...
