“I saw it on the news!”

Unbelievable. I can’t fathom this level of ignorance. I just can’t.

Most of these people are likely bots. I’ve tried engaging with some of the replies to my own comments on far right posts, but no one ever responds or wants to have a dialogue.

Hmmm...

I admit, I was NOT a GnR fan, so it doesn't have the same resonance for me.

I'm trying to think if Release is fifth for me... but if I do put it there (it might be higher for me), what an incredibly inventive, complex, powerful song.

I can remember a whole lot of dark nights in college when "Black" and "Release" were the songs that just straight up spoke to me.

I'd stack that up against the fifth best song on most albums.

That’s the thing about music. Part of it is how it connects with you. I feel the same way about certain types of wines.

Just listening to music and thinking a bit tonight...

Pearl Jam "Ten" really is one of the great debut albums of all time.

Not as good as Appetite, but close. I always say you can judge the greatness of an album not by the best song, but by the 5th best song. With Ten that’s tricky. I’d say that means it’s “Release” vs “Mr Brownstone”.

Although Rocket Queen is a banger too.

I’m kidding, I didn’t watch that trash. My baby and I were having a great time dancing to Bad Bunny.
