I just don't understand...
« on: May 15, 2016, 01:13:12 PM »
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Well the guy on the right looks like a wrestler so I wouldn't know who that is, and the one in the middle I haven't a clue.

What if this thread were deleted and the "Don't post leaked materials" sticky thread got updated? For the people who saw this image, how reality altering would that experience be?

John, she's beyond famous.   It'seems like she is "destined" for what she does.

Well it's not Alicia Keys. Alicia is much prettier than whoever that is.

I dunno. I don't have the same grudge against pop music that a lot of prog fans have. One doesn't need to put any effort into remembering a name like Beyonce.

First of all, who said it was a grudge? Second of all, what does effort have to do with anything? Those are arbitrary accusations. If I do come across a news blip about her, I don't always read it, so if there is a picture I don't pay much attention. So a name, yes. A photo linking her and a name, a completely different story. It's not a personal vendetta against her or other pop artists. It's funny that people always seem to use the prog fan analogy when it comes to not knowing certain pop music facts. I'm not really sure how that's relevant here, especially since earlier this morning I was listening to some Bobby Darin on vinyl and an hour ago was listening to Cradle of Filth.

As far as talent, from what I've heard Beyonce doesn't have much. I'd take Alicia Keys a hundreds times over her. Now there's a woman who is blessed with a musical gift.

 :lol  Like I said, I know I've heard her name constantly, and I'm sure I've seen her name in print but probably didn't bother to look at the article or any associated images. It took me forever to see Fergie from Black-Eyed Peas. I knew the name and actually had seen her on television but didn't realize it was her so it wasn't until a while after that I matched the name to the face.

Alicia Keys has a much nicer bootie. Plus, she's half Italian.  :heart

Don't lie to me.  It's all about her Italian side.

In all seriousness, I found out she was Italian after my Nubian fantasies of her.  Though, you wouldn't be wrong in assuming that. You do know me.  :biggrin:

Alicia Keys is definitely quite talented, and I would love to see her in concert.

But Beyonce has "it.".  You know, "it."  That thing that people like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson had.  And that no prog bands have.

She is a force to be reckoned with.

F=ma is the only force to be reckoned with. Even with that, I won't reckon with it until In The Presence of Enemies, Part 2 tells me to.  I'll even watch the Triforce glittering instead of her.
