I watched some of his videos. It seems like he tries to answer the bigger questions outside the box. I have a few friends who debate like he does. They're the kind of people who end up staying after everyone's left. Many a night I've set up talking with them. Good conversations.

Do some research dammit! :appl: I totally agree, and I doubt the big name celebrity commentators are as researched as they claim just as I doubt they write their own books.

I'll do a guitar thing occasionally but I'm not comfortable on guitar. I get stage fright with guitar. I have to look at the floor. I play jazz...

were you into the punk scene? I wasn't into the punk scene but was the metal and grunge scene of the early 1990s. I grew up in deep Southern Illinois. I learned to play drums in the 1980s on a CB 700 drum kit. By the time I entered high school, I drummed in metal/thrash bands. In high school, I san...
