Yeah I remember I was 'seeing' this girl at the time and we referred to her affectionately as "poundcake". I think that was the only decent song from that album.tempo_n_groove said:

I've believed this for the better part of 30 years. Internet hacks won't convince me of otherwise. Now if a true historian or etymologist comes out with something (if they bother), then probably. Until then, I'll continue to have fun with it.oftenreading said:

Yeah, and he marveled at the multiple uses of the word. And then told politicians to fuck off. So I guess his story had a point.Halifax2TheMax said:I thought Eddie explained it one of the two Boston shows last year?0 -

Like I already said, I do think there are real reasons to be very concerned about the honeybee die off, if what you are concerned about is the food supply/agriculture (but also about the ecosystem in general). And I really think we need to be concerned about that, especially as I also think we are RIGHT on the edge of some really serious problems because of climate change. We need all the successful crops we can get right now. But also, other pollinators are indeed dying off. Here are a couple articles:
I should add.... isn't a whole species, whatever it is, becoming threatened and going through a massive die-off a legit thing to feel outraged about in any case, especially considering the fact that pesticide use is a major factor in it happening?

Rage Against the Machine’s ‘The Battle of Los Angeles’ Is 20, and It Hasn’t Aged a DayRage was loud, angry, and activist. They saw the future and screamed about it. Until they didn’t anymore.
