All rap music pretty much sounds exactly the same. All country music... etc etc.

I dunno about universally popular since we all went to catholic schools and U2 was very very popular. Joshua tree is one of my favorite albums- basically everything they did through Achtung baby is great but like I said- it hits different if your are steeped in Irish catholic culture and I grew up in Montgomery county MD.


Bono was raised Protestant, right? But yes we Irish Americans love us some peak era U2. Went to see them with my proudly Irish American dad around the time of Joshua Tree, and he was belting out the words to nearly every song.


His mother was Anglican and his father was Catholic. He was raised both.

Billie Eilish songs are THE WORST. The only one I somewhat liked was Ocean Eyes, but ever since then, all she's got is barely audible whispering and discordant music. Yet some call her a "genius". Bizarre.

As a musical, Moana was better than Hamilton.


This is so oddly specific. I love R.E.M.

Cheesy and waaaaay overhyped. The "music" gives me a headache.

Harry and Meghan have also been surprisingly discreet, only setting the record straight a few years ago, about the abuse Charles and Williams heaped on them directly and through their "secret" compact of feeding the tabloids lies about the Sussexes to boost their own coverage. The Sussexes are better people than the Waleses.


Ah, repeating your screeds from the thread about Kate's hair, I see. There's something about nice, normal women that really gets under your skin, isn't there?


Not sure who you're talking about, but I'd support Kate if she got off her butt and started working, or developed a real passion, just do something, anything. There's nothing "normal" about a woman with five homes and multiple international vacations within eight months. She told us she stopped chemo over a year ago, and her three children are now all in school full-time. She has a great platform to really make a difference--Diana knew that and Camilla talks about violence against women. Imagine being a royal for 14 years, and all anyone can talk about is your hair.


It's so funny how upset this nice, normal woman makes you.

The fight song sounds strange with commanders shoehorned in

That said, I just say I grew up a fan of the Washington team. Because the team name WAS racist.

The Chicks also sounds odd, but I respect them for removing any tie to the racist and traitorous confederacy from their name.

We’ve only seen it on Disney+

And I only thought it was ok. I’ve enjoyed other musicals more.

I’m not paying for it

I think Blake Shelton is closeted gay.
