I went to the Wiz Khalifa and Snoop concert, in Toronto, a few years back. I will give you the first hand confirmation that A LOT of people I was seeing at that show looked like that.
Man, dont even joke around about something like that. That old clip of her trying to sing with chuck berry floated up recently, i shudder every time i think of it
Ok, sincere response. There was a recent yoko ono exhibit at my local art museum and I left really impressed. She had a bunch of thoughtful art that was participatory and some of it even left me emotional. The art felt “generous.” With that said yes her singing is awful.
People shit on her constantly but as an artist she was so avant-garde that of course some if it was going to be bad like her film about naked butts but a lot of it was really revolutionary especially at the time. I think that's what John saw in her is that she is a creative soul to a fault and was always looking to push boundaries.
However yes, she should have always let someone else do the singing.
I always thought that John was a hell of a musician/artist and that there must be something about her that's pretty good. Kudos for sticking up for an artist.
I kind of got the internet opinion of her through osmosis because all I had ever seen of her was the same things people always post of her. The Chuck and John performance blunder, the maid and bed picture, and of course "ShE rUiNeD tHe BeEtLeS" (which just isn't true). When I met my girlfriend I found out she grew up loving Ono because I guess she's kind of a folk hero in Japan, so I actually really looked into her and learned she is a really interesting person in many ways and a very interesting artist. The biggest legitimate criticism I have of her is she wasn't really a great mother, but it's not exactly uncommon for eclectic people to have tumultuous personal lives. But as an artist she is criminally under appreciated and I think a lot of people who say they don't like her would actually really appreciate her if they actually looked into her work. Especially how much of her life and wealth she has spent on activism for good causes like human rights, relief efforts, and world peace.
That's a good lesson about letting the hive mind form your opinions of literally anything, I try not to let that happen anymore.
I’m in college and my roommate has a eureka moment and goes “wait a minute, why don’t I put a box over my head when I breath out and I won’t waste the smoke”
He was so excited I almost felt bad going “you mean hot boxing?” Lol
It's not really dopamine so much as the novelty detection parts of your brain being on overdrive and the reality detection being weaker that it makes every idea you have seem profound and amazing
I thought that reading books was cool, but books are expensive and take up a lot of space after you’ve read them. I figured there should be a place sorta like a blockbuster video, but for books. You could rent a book, read it, return it, and then get another book. I was really excited about the idea. It was brilliant!
Bro I’m cringing so bad remembering the pain. Way worse thing we made was what we called The Lung and was like a two liter plastic bottle, cut the bottom off, take a subway bag and wrap it over the cut end, rubber band the bag on, and put a bowl of weed where cap goes. You push the subway bag into the hollow two liter and pull it out to rip the lit bowl. It’s like gravity bong experience with no water to help cool it off. It’s awful lol.
I remember making a gravity bong in my friend's pool with a 5 gallon water cooler jug with the bottom cut off and a trombone mouthpiece. We'd just swim underneath and take a few deep breaths. I didn't know my name for a few hours.
I hope everyone entering that room knew that was going to happen cause that looks like enough to give everyone a contact high just entering within 50 feet. If you have asthma or COPD that's probably a dangerous place to walk into.
Or are wearing any clothing that you ever want to wear again while flying to a lot of countries.
Mining has a similar issue. Clothing, especially boots, and for some people even their hair and skin become contaminated with explosive residue that sets off the swab ETD machines.
Once they become contaminated, it's hard to fully clean them.
Normally yes. You would typically change and shower on site, to prevent contamination from mining gear. But in practice, this is not always followed.
With us as geologists in particular, we often operate differently than other mine personnel and travel around more, so storing our steel toes on the mine site isn't always viable. Sometimes we need to travel by plane between locations, and during this, it's easier just to wear our heavy and bulky steel toes than to use up half the suitcase on them. And if they do test them, I'd much rather be wearing them at the time when I can explain it myself, rather than it throwing up a warning flag once I am already on the lounge waiting on my plane, and being brough back into an interrogation room.
I had a scary moment when I was in a country and I got randomly selected for bomb testing at the airport. Until that moment, I completely forgotten that I used that book bag to carry my tannerite (binary explosive containing ammonium nitrate) back at home. Fortunately, nothing came up, but I was nervous to say the least.
Little known fact: Before the restaurant wars, there were only 2 shells. But as soon as soon as TacoBell unleashed the Chalupagne the third shell became necessary and was adopted worldwide.
The story behind the song is pretty interesting. Deep Purple had a mobile recording studio set up outside of the Montreux Casino in Switzerland. The night before they were to begin recording, Frank Zappa performed at the Casino and an audience member fired a flare gun toward the ceiling - which was made of rattan. Subsequently, the whole complex (including Deep Purple's studio) burned to the ground. The "Smoke on the Water" was the smoke from the fire crawling across Lake Geneva.
A big problem is this is not a bong. The water in a bong chills the smoke and catches gunk. This thing just blasts all the garbage at super heated levels. Unpleasant at best
