I’m in that shot somewhere! 😄

This is awesome! Just to be clear though that footage is from the first No Kings (they’re matching NW up Ben Franklin Parkway towards the art museum), today’s march had a different route and went east from City Hall to Independence Mall. Still, Philly knows how to bring the fire!

I was there! Philly don’t play. Fuck Trump, Go Birds! 🦅

Remember grownups?

I can’t get over how lazy it is, too. “Hate America”? That’s the best he could come up with? Come on, bro.

The carnage!

Just a normal response that a totally innocent person would say.

Please ignore my typos, you get the damn joke 😅

lol and now on top of terror and sportball they expect you to math?! Rude.

Not TV’s Danicka Patrick of GoDaddy.com commercial fan!

Don’t forget football fields, we also love measuring things in football fields because that’s something we can all relate to. I know all about the fields, where the football… happens.

What better way to win back all those Americans who turned on you than fucking with the Super Bowl? Maybe next he should cancel Christmas and deport Dolly Parton.

Is that The Monarch from Venture Bros?

Me 🙋‍♂️

For a long time I felt that the song ended too abruptly, and maybe I still do, but maybe that’s part of the point? Not sure, anyone have any thoughts?

That was a lot of fun, thanks James!

1: Find the River

Number one. Without a doubt one of the most most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Takes my breath away every time.

Perfection.

This has been fun! Maybe I'll do another music challenge again soon.

I don't know what to say about this song, other than that it's really beautiful and has a super cool music video which tricked me into thinking my tv was broken when it came on MTV back in the day.

3: Bad Day

This is the song that made me love R.E.M. I always liked them before, but this song made me a real fan. I'll never grow tired of it.

Side note: If I was bald I would totally rock this look for Halloween.

4: Imitation of Life

My Nightswimming post last night was a little silly but that's what I get for listening to sad songs after 2 dirty martinis.

This track is the opposite, it's bright, bold and triumphant. Or maybe not, I have no idea what it's about.

5: Nightswimming

If you don't get this song, it's not for you.

That's okay.

It's not a queer anthem, it's a queer diary entry.
It's secret, it's personal. He made it public.

It's hard to be gay. It's hard to be young.
It's hard to be gay and young.

Bill Berry actually looks kind of hot here. Michael looks like he's about to stab somebody.

6: The One I Love

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I just found out that Robert Longo directed the video. Rad.

I can definitely see how he could’ve been influenced by Fire Walk With Me. Weapons was a trip.

7: What's the Frequency Kenneth?

Am I the only one who can't help but think of that episode of 30 Rock when Tracy greeted Kenneth the page by yelling "What's the frequency, Ken?!"

Okay, just me.

Anyway... I love this song and the video is amazingly cool.

8: Cuyahoga

My mom grew up in Ohio and she used to tell me stories about the Cuyahoga river catching fire. She also told me that people used the say Lake Erie was so polluted back then that you could walk across it to Canada.

I’m sorry… 5000%?! I mean girl if you’re gonna just pull numbers out of your ass can you at least make some effort for believability?

9: Perfect Circle

I've heard that people are often confused about the cover of Murmur. I went to college in Georgia and spent a lot of time traveling the southeast so I am quite familiar with kudzu. The stuff is insidious!
