You can be a perfectly healthy vegetarian without taking supplements. The same can't be said for some of the more extreme vegan options. Steve Jobs is a pretty good example of this.
There really is no such thing as the right diet. Each one is going to have its pros and cons in terms of health, impact on the environment, and "moral issues." Then there's the whole taste thing. Vegans can go on about how they're not missing out, but they are. Any that tell you otherwise probably don't enjoy food all that much.
There's a fine line.
John Lennon hit his first wife, and generally treated women pretty poorly until Yoko. Hard to stop listening to The Beatles though.
Chris Brown on the other hand has nothing going for him, and no shame, so he's pretty easy to boycott.
Well said. Switch TEB for a band like Smashmouth though. That first TEB is legitimately good, and has aged very well, precisely because its lacking any gimmicky bullshit.
Of course, I can understand the general indie-rock annoyance of Creed; they do plenty of annoying shit. They dress like assholes. They write vague and portentous lyrics that hold up to absolutely no scrutiny. This may be strawmanning, but their popularity seems to bespeak a deeply problematic white-people longing for a Renaissance-era simplicity that probably never existed. When he drops 'higher' on the chorus of “Higher,” Scott Stapp sounds a little too proud of himself, the same way Chad Kroeger once sounded too proud of his own 'Higher' on “Just To Get High.” And it’s not really his fault, but Scott's marriage to Jaclyn Nesheiwat is enough to piss off anyone who’s seen a Miss New York pageant a couple of times. But as Creed prepare to dominate this weekend’s Grammys and headline an assload of festivals this summer, it’s worth noting that the fundamentals of their big-tent uplift are strong.
I love Futura. Hell, it's what caught my eye when I bought their first record.
That script is used horribly though. Unless of course the designers intention was to cram everything so tight together it becomes borderline illegible. If so, he/she did a good job.
