this is a mix i made for my recent Nebraska memorial weekend road trip with the padres. . . back to my mothers and fathers respective hometowns. . . (photos forthcoming)
i was trying to get the padres to listen to some music they otherwise wouldn't by peppering the mix with 60's stuff i knew they'd like and keeping the songs on the list with the overall tendency to have the vocals very prominent in the mix as that is a defining characteristic of the padres music listening predilection. . .

when rockstars are idiots, everyone suffers. . .
Read this first. . .
so, basically, Sully was saying that it's alright to make decisions and not think about the consequences. not only to not think about the consequences, but to not even consider them. . . and there you have, distilled to one fine kernel of truth the essence of mainstream middle american idiocy. . . it always comes out as, "So i made a decision, so what? Like I have time to sit around all day and think about what that means." How come people get away with shit like that?. . . I mean, obviously they decided not to eat a plate full of cyanide for breakfast because there's a real consequence to that. I guess, unless it effects them directly, they just can't be bothered. It's kinda like asking a consumer why they consume and they respond by saying it's because they buy stuff. Well no shit! Why are so many people unwilling to deal with the larger more abstract ideals that come up daily in our lives?
