Most cases of poor reading comprehension that I encounter would better be described as sloppy reading. If people took their head out of their own arses while reading, they'd understand perfectly.
I'm not getting this. People keep saying you need a monster plane to get you across the Atlantic. Planes like the Comet 4, the 707, and the DC-8 were flying across the pond already in the late fifties and they are anything but huge. What point am I missing?
The best flight I ever had was from Bombay to Paris on a 747. It was supposed to be Air India but for some reason the plane was Air France. It's literally the only time I've ever been able to sleep on a plane. It's the only time I've ever had any room on a plane. Me and the 50 or so others. I'm all for big planes if I can replicate those flight conditions.
I'd say they modernized blues rather than building on it. For me, the guys who really broke the mould were underground(US)/progressive(UK) groups like The Doors or King Crimson. That has absolutely nothing to do with pop of course.
And as with all the other decades they will remember the 2010s for its decent songs and artists. But the generalization will remain true, like it does for the 1990s, which is the most despised decade among people I know but still managed to produced some real gems. That's the kind of song people will remember from the 2010s once the dross has faded into oblivion.
Rock and Roll was a tweak of 12BB designed to eliminate all those. Angry instead of sad (I'll fucking duff you if you touch my shoes). Much more complex (addition of 4-bar intros: One two three o'clock...). More chords (major 8ths). Less first person (You ain't nothing but a hound dog). Faster. Well yes, that too.
Sounds like a non-lethal variant of the Saudi Arabian model. Taxi kills a pedestrian? Passenger gets punished. Shouldn't have hailed the cab in the first place. At least that's how it used to be.
Is it still impossible to actually delete an account? When I tried to do that umpteen years ago all they did was hibernate the account. Opeinrg it in the first place was one of the worst moves I ever made.
I would advise the British govt not to do anything. There's nothing like being up to one's neck in plastic shit to drive home the consequences of a total lack of giving a shit.
Weavers guilds and salt monopolies never went away. Uber doesn't have to go away either if it stops lying and offers a bona fide ride sharing service like Bla Bla Car.
A trade war hurts a lone initiator, no argument from me there. But if there are hundreds of initiators against one country, surely that turns the tables and effectively forces that country into a lone initiator's shoes.
I think it's to do with the notion of the nuclear family. They are one entity. Everybody contributes toward the family in their own way and everybody shares in the rewards. Dad's just the collector. In a family that earns just enough to live comfortably, the wife might stay at home and bring up the kids to release the husband to engage in work that optimizes the family income. It would be a long stretch to say the money the wife spends is a second income.
Yes there's obviously a difference between that and filthy rich, but there must be a transition point somewhere.

I saw what you did there.

I approached a road sign and saw a dog furiously trying to shag a man's leg. The sign read "Beware of speed humps."

How about Bo Diddley then? He existed long before any of them and was known for his one chord songs.

So are you saying the Bach decade shits all over the Vivaldi decade?

So would carrying a load of other stuff around. Overcoats, six packs, stratocasters, shovels.
Are we allowed to use the word stupid around those who have loved ones who are stupid?
The word is chã. That's an ah sound pronounced nasally, like Bob Dylan would.
It's France mate. Never heard of foie gras?
Looks more like pirate than ebonics to me.
Yes I spotted that oxymoron too.

Does that factor in the footprint of making a floating steel cathedral?
Nah they've been drilling for oil since 1889 on the Champs de Mars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and are still no closer.
Alison is a woman's name and this Alison is indeed no exception.
