I didnt mean Lizzo. I hardly know of her songs and especially the lyrics of her songs. I meant Latto. With her Big Energy song. Listen to the lyrics and you'll realize right away where Im going with the above rant. The tune is just a cover of a Mariah Carrey song which in turn is a cover of an '80s song. Its the lyrics. Nicki Minaj too. Their lyrics and more specifically, the English used is uneducated. I am not talking about the vulgarity. I am specifially talking about the uneducated English used. Plenty of rap songs that do that. That is with Black culture. With White culture, its another type uneducated English used. And ordinary citizens on the streets emulate the verbage. But...listen to older pop culture Americana and the English used, whether from Black folk OR White folk and you will see a MAJOR difference in verbage and syntax. Listen to people on the streets, average joe folk and you will fast realize that there is something amiss. I am not EVEN going to address politician speech from the last decade. But listen to President John F. Kennedy or Winston Churchill or Pierre E. Trudeau and then listen to the way politicians speak today, the last 10-15 years in either country, Canada, US or UK, yes UK and see what a phoquing different world we live in today. Our standards have greatly been reduced. Our society only seems too happy to engage in Tik Tok. Before that it was finding Pokeman and getting killed by cars because we didnt look where we were walking and crossed in front of incoming traffic. Pokeman was NOT that long ago. End of rant. I promise!

@trinacriabob All the bolded parts... I got an opinion on this. It might not be a pretty opinion. Nor a popular one. But I have to say it. There is a culture in the US that praises being dumb. There is a culture in the US that frowns upon being smart. Both are not the same but both are being worshipped. And this culture has been cultivated for decades now. DECADES with an 's'. I dont know how or when it started but I do know that some '80s movies hinted at that. PLENTY of 90s TV shows and movies DEFINETELY pointed us to that kind of culture of hating smart people and worshipping stupid. Shows like Beavus and Butthead. The Jackass movies although those came at the tail end of the 1990s are prime examples but NOT the only ones. There are MANY MANY more. We could chalk it up to comedy, but when we do chalk it up to comedy, we fail to see the sinister side of it. You see, I do not think it will get any better. It will get worse. A lot worse. And it does not matter what political spectrum you fall on. Red or blue. The dummying down of our society grows every year and both the left and right side of the political spectrum is more than happy to contribute to that. And its not just the white trash. Its the black folk as well. Beavus and butthead covers the white trash pop culture but plenty of shytty rap music that focuses on black people's lack of education sure exists. Remember the debacle in the 90s of some black higher ups wanting to promote ebonics as a legit English way of speaking for black people and it was to be taught in schools for black people? Ebonics also being the primary way of rapping in the aforementioned rap music... From celebrating gang culture and violence to letting politicians become fascists and suing teachers for showing a Disney movie because there is a gay character in the movie/cartoon and banning books and us letting them do that because we have become sooooooo stupid ourselves that we do not know what to do anymore but we are proud of the stupid decisions we allow our politicians to make and are even prouder of our own moronic behaviour. We celebrate stupid and denounce smart every chance we get in North America. For political gain and for comedy. And the citizens just soak all that up and willingly follow. From the Kardashians and Lizzo. From thinking that we will colonize Mars... No water or oxygen on the planet Mars, but NOBODY questions Elon on HOW the phoque we will colonize Mars. And I mean NOBODY questions him.... Not ONE son of a 2-itch has asked him how in the Lord's good name are we going to survive up there? From thoughts and prayers when public shootings happen and dont demand anything more... From fighting with ourselves for the stupidest of things..like NOT listening to doctors and scientists and making a mockery of them but listening to some stupid unknown clowns on the internet suggesting LETHAL recommendations and we listen to those clowns instead. From having a bold face lie EXPOSED but be toooooo phoquing proud to admit being fooled. The kicker... believing bold faced lies decades prior from KNOWN liars because toooooo proud being politically and religiously attached and now to try to fix prior bamboozlements rather than admit being stupid DOUBLE-ING DOWN ON STUPID BEING PROUD OF BEING STUPID and believing other bold faced lies. And yet....WILLINGLY not wanting to get smarter but wanting to stay dumb. Afraid of being smarter. But openly being dumb. And THAT includes the political divisiveness. The economical mess we have of no jobs and the middle class almost gone from North America to even electric car adoption that is full of FUD. And both the so called left and right are equally responsible for that. And us North American citizens are to blame for letting it get this bad BECAUSE we have allowed ourselves to hate wanting to be smart and be content and proud to be stupid. Oh yeah...I got another example Our judges allowing frivolous lawsuits to happen and awarding DUMB behaviour. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/mcdonalds-found-liable-for-hot-chicken-mcnugget-that-burned-girl McDonald's is liable for McNugget being too hot because DUMB phoquing mothert gave her 4 year old a scorching hot nugget that fell on the child's thigh in the drive through scalding the poor child. Personal responsibilty OUT THE WINDOW!!! Like I said...dummying down of our society...

Its a handsome SUV. But...my brain views SUVs like a racist views other races different from his own race.... 1. If it aint a design that takes cues from a traditional car, then its too different for my biased brain to adapt therefore I dont necessarily fear it, but I know I HATE it and dont want it in MY neighbourhood! 2. all SUVs and CUVs look alike and this one looks like a Range Rover. A true racist will not admit liking physical features of a race different from his, but...I kinda like this one. I find Range Rovers attractive enough, and this Rivian falls into the me liking it category, but make NO mistake about it, I want it GONE from MY neck of the woods. Tell it to go back where it came from.

I can imagine you saying that with a certain disgust in your tone with the same facial expressions of this lovely young lady.

MEANT to say: create WATER and oxygen out of thin air... But brain not coordinated with hands typing... Happens sometimes.

No exoskeleton. Probably no bullet proofness. Definetely no stainless steel body panels. No MSRP as promised. What Musk so loudly stated that would be the cheapest pick-up truck Amercans could buy. No 2020 launch. No 2021 launch. No 2022 launch. And as it is now, promised in 2021 for late 2023, no 2023 launch either. No nothin' Even more laughable if we talk about the roadster 2.0. But lets about how we are going to colonize Mars with no oxygen and water on that dead planet. But we WILL live on it... Musk cant produce a Cybertruck and Roadster 2.0 on planet Earth to save his life, but he will magically create air and oxygen out of thin air...

1988 was another MONSTER year for songs. Pop. Pop rock. Hard rock. Rap. Hip Hop. Movie soundtracks. You name it. And 1988 was a year second to none concerning the '80s. It seems that any year from the 80s could be the best year for songs of the 80s The girl in the video. I had a huuuuge crush on her. What a gorgeous girl. I had trecorded the video and I spent hundreds of hours looking at her. I was mesmorized by her beauty. Her eyes. And of course her body. Just a goddess all around.

Intriguing is your thoughts. I guess when this song came out in 1988, I never made the connection from the original. Country is it, the original? And I guess that is the reason why I never made the connection then. I havent heard this one probably SINCE 1988. I get to hear the original often enough. Anyway,,,thanx for the balst from the past. Since you started with forgetten songs from 1988, let me return the favour with a song with almost the same vibe. Albeit it vibes just a little slower. However, this one doesnt pay any hommage to a previous 60s or 70s hit. At least I dont think it does.

A certain Japanese car culture making JDM cars look like America muscle and American Muscle taking a slight JDM look. I can dig that!

http://www.toyotaproblems.com/oil-sludge/ POTENTIAL... MOST LIKELY... word salad. its a crime worth stating along with the incredible falsehood that Toyotas last longer than other cars on the road when KNOWN catastrophic failures exist in their engineering that affect plen ty of models across the board. Models that are best sellers. Models that have failed of which are in the MILLIONS because MILLIONS have been sold. It also has been known that Toyota has DENIED and blamed the OWNERS of said vehicles...
