Did anybody else have the 8-track of this album? Cuz I remember exactly where this song faded out and back in when it switched tracks.

You know what’s crazy? And I mean this in all seriousness: No matter how horrible Trump is, Richard Nixon will ALWAYS be the caricature of a “bad” President. Let that sink in.

I haven't listened to Forever Now since it came out, mostly because I thought in inferior to the first two Psychedelic Furs albums. But that song was excellent. Maybe I should listen to it again....

Dialed up my favourite radio show for the first time in months due to whatever, and what do I hear but a set from a band from my hometown. Thats pretty sweet
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:50pm
Cubicle Carl:

I think all those record clubs (all two of them) manufactured their own products out of slightly inferior materials. Kinda like a legal bootleg outfit.

nice! Welcome Andrew!

@Scraps I mainly picked it up because they had a song that referenced Emma Peel! Hadn't heard of them before.

I don't know about 4.5 hrs from Toronto to Ottawa though. That's more of a 5-6 hr drive. Toronto traffic is thick as dirt.

i was just going to say that if anyone remembers them it was for "Emma Peel"!

like 1980 or so
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:08pm
efd:

yep, that sounds about right. I played it on my show a month or so back I think - not a bad tune!
Avatar 10:11pm

its easily 4.5 hours, just depends on where you are going in TO when you get there and the time of day cuz yeah, the traffic in Toronto is ridiculous

coelacanth:

nixon was nowhere near as abominable a creature as the bush empire, and everyone in it. though i've despised donald dump for decades, i've never thought he was as bad as bush either - in terms of being fundamentally selfish and disrespectful of any & everybody who may not be serving their particular power machine.
dump is a reckless, impulsive child - and i think somewhat insane; which accounts for the offensive things he says, more than him actually believing them.
...but for that reason i think he's likely to cause at least as much damage as the bushes, reagan or nixon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:17pm
Kat in Chicago:

I think some folks are still out there. Several different groups, shutting down various parts of downtown and Mag Mile area. Vibes were good, police not aggressive.

I haven't heard of any arrests so far.

@coelecanth: I generally don't like armchair psychiatric diagnostics but there seems to be some consensus that Trump has a narcissistic personality disorder, and yeah, that could do a lot of damage.

@11:24 -yeah it's pretty obvious he's narcissistic.
the possible silver lining here is that he's already been elected president, and that was/is probably the main thing.
i wouldn't doubt it if he's already losing interest!
...and his rhetoric i think - to some degree anyway - was all for attention...to get folks excited; to make his name a daily part of conversation. (it's often said even negative attention is still attention)... and to appeal to the selfish, insane asshole side that lurks inside so many shallow dipshits in this country - & mostly just that...but part of a strategy.
...anyway, i'm hoping.
