If there’s one thing the Dem base of urban boomer libs loves, it’s screeds about The Beatles. Just don’t tell them which direction it’s in and he’d be golden

 

[Walpurgisnacht]

Nothing else grants the Beatles more attention than, say, the Kinks or the Rolling Stones. There was nothing intrinsically better in the Beatles' music. Ray Davies of the Kinks was certainly a far better songwriter than Lennon & McCartney.
...
The Kinks were probably the most original British band of their time with the Rolling Stones and the Who...They were by far the band most rooted in the British tradition, with a keen awareness of history and British values. In fact, the young Ray Davies sang about himself and his generation and the adult Ray Davies would sing about the British nation, his goal consistently Homeric in creating myth out of public history and social memory.

No choice but to stan.

as a proud 48er and founder of the kraut civil rights league i am issuing an official fatwa towards those who call kraut americans “dutch”. the average german american is a 34 year old from sioux falls who’s voted republican his entire life for reasons unknown to him and who is a chiefs/bucks/brewers/wild fan, meanwhile the average dutch american is a 67 year old protestant in michigan who runs a christmas tree farm and smacks little kids with a switch

elvis presley thought this btw

if I find out all this buzz around a dore candidacy was because of you doing a little trolling I swear to christ

 

[Comrade Izaac/Izzy]

dore is the perfect candidate for the crank left in the post-Trump era bc he fundamentally, more than any other contemporary political figure, is the left-wing Trump
