No matter what 4x4 or evilcougar say, "Rockin' in the Free World" is the best song ever. Ever!

for the homeless man we've got a kinder gentler machine gun hand
Take that, ya philistines!
Dude. Seriously. I'm not denying it's an OK song. But, far from the best song ever. This debate may require it's own thread because my definition of best song ever certainly does not come from Neil Young.........................IMO of course....
While jammies is definitely wrong about 'Rockin in the Free World' being the greatest song ever, you're just as wrong for saying that Neil Young sucks.

How does this quote end: "There are two kinds of people in this world, those who agree with me and those who are (blank)"?
Are you familiar with the writings of Plato? See, ol' Plato believed that there is another world, full of ideal shapes and thoughts, and that this world that we think we inhabit is but an echo or shadow of that world, and which we mistake for reality because our senses cannot discern the truth.
In that world, there is one song which is the perfect rock song, and all other rock songs are but ghosts emulating its stupefying godhood. To even hum a few bars of that song is to close the gap between universes and make immanent the groovin' apocalypse; you might as well say the sun is "ok as a star, but I prefer Betelgeuse" as to disrespect Mr. Young's epic anthemic achievement.

Go back to Denver.
Lucky for me I'm already in Denver, and I will not change my stance on Neil Young. He sucks a hard one.
Also, how does the forum software know which posts I've read and which I haven't? You know that little down arrow red button just to the left of the thread name, when I click it it brings me to the last unread post, but how does it know which one that is???
(I'm aware that there is an obvious answer here but it still bothers me sometimes.)
I'm not a programmer, so I think (think, not saying I know) when you click on a thread, the forum software records the Post # of the last post on that thread.
Ex. Random Thoughts Thread, flip; last post on thread clicked: #666
The next time you go to a RTT and there are new posts, and click view last post read, the software directs you to Post #667
Just a very simple comparison

I think you spend far to much time IT'ing pantsless. You still crack me up though!
Yup. The Allegory of the Cave and I'm comparing it with St. Augustine's City of God...looking specifically at freedom and slavery.
I'd like to read that. I stay as far away as possible from those threads, that was my major. Ended up being real fracking useful too. Hey kids! Major in Philosophy and Theology because it's a fantastic idea!

Now that I'm old and crotchety like she was, I figure I can use the expression as well - when appropriate. Although I'm not sure what brought it to mind just then, except that this was probably around the same time that Rockin' in the Free World came out as when the babushka was dissin' me, so maybe an association was built up at the time.

Frig that stupid girl in it gives me a really uneasy feeling, like one day I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night and she'll be standing at the foot of my bed, just starring.

Are you guys talking about that commercial with the albino/ginge girl that just stares at the screen? If so, I agree, that commercial sucks.
