Actually, I first want to express my deep gratitude for the complete acceptance that I have received from this very fine group of people! I joined this forum of beautiful people at a time in my life where I was again facing idiotic mindsets and manurisms from those around me, especially at my workplace. And this place, and you people were my respite from the ignorance of those that I dealt with at the time.3 points

Elton has "walked the walk" for decades now. At one point in the AIDS crisis, he donated 100% of his American record proceeds to two AIDS organizations that he founded. Between himself and Liz Taylor, they managed to turn the tide of Reagan's "let them die" attitude towards the epidemic. Elton will always be a hero of mine for his unwavering financial and emotional support. This was at a time when I was losing friends every month, and deathly afraid that my own days were imminently numbered. Elton's actions inspired me to join our local Anchorage AIDS volunteer asscociation (AAAA), where I felt like I was actually doing something to make a difference. I have never been in the military, and in no way do I want to diminish what those brave men and women do, but I do feel like I was at war then. This was when many nurses and doctors were hesitant to enter the rooms of AIDS patients, and we were there to care for those poor souls as best we could. As rough and frightening as those days were, that crisis turned me into someone that I can live with today. I'm proud of my actions, when I wasn't sure of the risk I was exposing myself to. And I give Elton and Liz a lot of credit for turning the tide in public opinion. I'll climb down from my high horse now, for another year.3 points

It's basically Elton John at the sight of Stonewall in NYC, talking about how far we've come, but how MAGA are making new anti LGBTQ laws and trying to strip back the rights we've gained. But in his speech he says "no fucking way" which gets an uproarious applause, and a chuckle out of Biden.1 point

Listened to Lenny White's first two albums. Lots of talent and creativity. A ton of funk. I should of liked them more than I did. I may have to try again another time. Now listening to Scofield. This satisfies.1 point

My first exposure to Alan Holdsworth was when I was in high school and my guitar teacher gave me a homemade tape with several different guitarists on it. The song Rhoad Games sounded unique. It's what got me into him. Since then, its been a regular album that I revisit from time to time.1 point

Dayum. Anyone want a deluxe repress of one of the most famous 90s ambient albums? Warp is re-releasing Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works vol II for its 30th anniversary (also SAW II came out 30 years go, oh god am I old.) The wooden boxed set version will set you back a cool $300. There's also a plebeian vinyl release for $50. I hope it's better pressed than, ahem, some of the Warp vinyl re-releases have been. The music itself is of course excellent. Richard D James has never not been a bell end of the highest order. He's also released an awful lot of wank over the last 30 something years. With that said, his good moments are about as good as British electronic music ever got. SAW II represents him at peak, more or less.1 point
