  1. The Last of the Mohicans cover raised a few eyebrows But that summary pretty well sums it up. Doco goes into that.
  2. Or you could be this guy
  3. There was a guy in the UK (Kenneth Kennard) who decided to adopt the middle name Fu and officially changed it. He thought it was hilarious until his passport application was rejected.
  4. Fair enough but as mentioned before it is much more about the bands and there music. Even features a grown up Burmese girl 😃
  5. Crowe is a knob. My ex actually worked in casting and after Romper Stomper cast him in The Some Of Us as the gay son. They laughed at her but she stood her ground. The rest is history. Agree about it's place now in the world we live. What's that 4 letter word they use these days? I really liked Amerikan History X which I thought was a much better movie but again these days
  6. Just thought it worth mentioning, the doco is not about Blondie
  7. Reminds me of the unwanted attention Amin Yashed received The Indian name Swastika, as it appeared on ridesharing app Uber, was deemed offensive due to its fascist connotations. Uber reportedly did not allow Sydney-based Swastika Chandra to use her first name on its app. But, according to The Australian, it has now backed down and made an exception in this case. It said that Swastika’s name, which in Hinduism means spirituality and divinity and is also a sacred symbol, got caught in the middle of their goodwill policy of banning certain terms after the recent unrest in the Middle East. A distressed Swastika reached out to the Hindu Council of Australia, who then through the NSW government, took the matter up with Uber. Chandra, a regular user of the app, said the Uber booking system’s flagging of her name was a violation of its terms of use and called for a change. Uber said initially that it understood the “cultural significance” of her name but noted the “sensitivity surrounding historical events … and the symbol’s appropriation by the Nazis”. Good sense however, soon prevailed. A spokesperson said, “Uber is committed to facilitating a safe and welcoming environment. For that reason, Uber has a policy of restricting access to users whose names entered into the app contain potentially offensive words.” She added that the company understands that there are cultural nuances to names, and it evaluates such instances case by case, and has decided “to reinstate Ms Chandra’s access to the app.” https://www.indianlink.com.au/uber-invalidates-then-reinstates-indian-name-swastika/
  8. Yes but none of the mainstream stations would play them. They are only 2 of the list you mentioned. Record labels would not release a lot of "new" music locally so Denis McNamara used to import them and wait at the airport for them to arrive
  9. Not really a good review by IMDB. A lot of who you mentioned had never been heard of in Amerika and it delves a lot more into the politics and influence of the record labels. The music component is on a small portion.
  10. 'Dare to Be Different,' Documentary about the revolutionary New Wave radio station WLIR Kong would enjoy this based on many discussions we have had over the years.

    Probably as risky as buying a bucket at a Full Moon Party in LOS

    Why would you attack the Police and Paramedics who have come to assist the injured. They did get some retribution though. Parishioners held him down and cut off 2 of his fingers 😳 The bishop is a bit of an extremist nutter and Assyrians in general are hard to feel sympathy for given their misogynistic culture. There is no universal timeline for evolution.
  13. I remember that. As the saying goes a poor tradesman always blames his tools. I am guessing your ability to combine light, subject, and composition to capture a great image is still a work in progress which was the point of the comment. I encourage you to keep at it and aspire to produce images like I was able to with my Nokia 7650 (see below?
