Hi, I have several new outlooks on music (I've been studying). One of them I call musical geography. I'm interested in how migration and political power influence the development of musical communities. More than that, I'm interested in how musical community construction transcends, or is...

GM pulls out of Michigan; thousands and thousands of working class families are thoroughly fucked over while GM tries to get out of paying benefits they’ve promised; families are losing their homes, not because they tried to live beyond their means, but because GM pulled out! People just don’t...

Come on Russia. We know you're out there playing your asses off. Don't worry about lyrics; the music is the point.

I've read some articles about some socio-political movements in South America. I'm aware that no matter what I read, I don't understand. I realize some of what my government has done to your people and I think that a high level of resentment, even hatred, is just. I'm sick and tired of us...

Where do we go from here?

We're free to change the channel, but we don't. They grab our attention because that's what they're paid to do. How can we rise above our faith in commercial news?

Let's try this. Only Simpsons quotes; only questions. Example: Homer to Marge: "Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?"

This is probably the decade in history, other than the current one, which interests me the most. This is not just the end of WWII and the bringing of a new age of Cold War; it was not only the age of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC); it was also the rise of television. 1947...

What's going on in Australia these days?

Should this be called an Elitist forum?

I hope to establish communications with the people of Guyana. Could anyone recommend a forum based on music?

If you were to create your own political party, what would be the primary objectives and why? How would you attain public support? Who would be your target constituancy?

Personally, I think that invading Iraq was a good idea, but it was executed poorly without adequate debate. It was pretty clear to me that President Bush was hell-bent on regime change; he was not giving adequate consideration to the complexities involved. He was not paying enough attention to...

I'm looking forward to hearing how this thrasher can combine with you nut-balls over there in PL. Any news?

During the two World Wars of the last century the citizens of the United States united behind a common goal. Since then, we've become too comfortable. Back in the day, it was tin, or copper, or alluminum. Today it's oil. This is a problem dealing directly with our comfort. If saving a...

I failed. I could have done more. I should have done more. I tried to make my case to the American people that re-electing President Bush was a bad move. I tried to make the point that this was not a matter of sympathy, but of practicality. I tried to use historical references to make the...

Damn. These guys are good.

Who here other than me loves the Olympics? What are your favorite events? What do you consider to be the high points and low points so far? GO TEAM IRAQ!!!

Let's try to have a rational debate on the subject. Please think and review before you post. Please don't insult people personally even if you have a prior beef. Our country needs serious and meaningful debates in every forum. When you disagree with someone, debate them point by point...

OK. I hope everyone reading this realizes what is wrong with nationalism. It's been used as an excuse and a rallying point for many of the darkest most horrible chapters in human history. It has, however, been one of the great inspirations of music. Who can suggest some nationalistic...
