All right this is how this shit goes:

Happiness is an elusive bitch. I mean if Fleetwood Mac couldn't figure that crap out, there's no way you're going to. Just listen to Go Your Own Way a few rounds through and you'll hear it. Never Going Back again? This is classic shit, man. This is just an album in a long line of albums that are all about how much everyone is fucking miserable.

And I mean, really, who the hell writes happy songs? No one is interested in that shit. Raffi? Give me a fucking break. Let me tell you, no one over the age of six listens to Baby fucking Beluga.

So happiness is an elusive bitch. Better off, in my opinion, taking shit as it comes and making the rest up.

Oh, and listen to some fucking good music, while you're at it.

Wow, advice I'd actually second.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Was it the Fleetwood Mac reference? Everyone has a hard-on for Rumours-era Stevie Nicks.

[thewildone]

Well sure--though that one's actually a little bit after my time, so to speak. But besides that, while I'm not saying every good song has to be depressing, you need to go for agony or ecstasy because the stuff in the middle makes for shit music.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

You haven't heard Rumours?

[thewildone]

I've heard Rumours, sure, but only here.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Okay, that's not that bad, then.

[thewildone]

I've got over three decades and probably more than a few alternate dimensions worth of music to catch up on, but I do my best.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Shit, there is no way I'm letting wade through the dreck, you'll get stuck with fucking disco and you'll never get out.

[thewildone]

Trust me, I'm probably better at figuring out what I don't like than what I do.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Don't believe anyone who says that Madonna's worth your time.

[orangetoughguy]

Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Never took you for liking Pink Floyd.

[thewildone]

I'm not really into dance music, anyway.

[orangetoughguy]

Why not?

[Pink how could you.]

[deathofdelilah]

Perhaps phrased differently than I might have said it, but true words nonetheless. The last two sentences at any rate.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

I just thought you would be more into that metal shit.

Or rap.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

You got a problem with Raffi?

[orangetoughguy]

Guess you don't know me too well.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Should I apologize?

[orangetoughguy]

I don't know yet, do you like Pink Floyd?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

The movie was kind of fucked up but I thought the album was good.

[orangetoughguy]

You know there's more than one album right?

[Fanboy alert.]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Holy shit you're not one of those people who listens to Dark Side of the Moon while Wizard of Oz is on mute, are you?

1/2

[orangetoughguy]

Are you kidding? Fuck no.

[orangetoughguy]

Everybody knows it's all about Alice in Wonderland and The Wall.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

You're a fucking fanboy about this shit.

[But he's sounds more amused than horrified]

[orangetoughguy]

You can say whatever the fuck you want until you run that shit together. It'll change you.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

....you bring it over and I'll get the beer.

[He doesn't believe you but whatever he needs socialization]

[whitetwoguns]

Rumours can't be topped, even by Fleetwood Mac.

[deathofdelilah]

I have no idea who that is.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

He's a singer.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

It's a one of a kind album, that's for fucking sure.

[whitetwoguns]

Also goes to show that the best things can come on out of a shitty situation. If Nicks and Buckingham didn't go on through what they did with the rest of the band, we wouldn't have it today.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Hey, I'm not complaining. Otherwise we'd be stuck listening to shit like Baby Beluga and Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

[whitetwoguns]

That Cyndi song was originally a kid song?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Not technically.

[whitetwoguns]

I gotta say I prefer Madonna to that bitch.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Can't say I disagree. At least Madonna doesn't sound like she huffs helium as a hobby.

[whitetwoguns]

Also seems like Madonna songs last just long enough, good or bad.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Shit, she's probably going to turn into some kind of cultural icon.

[whitetwoguns]

What makes you say that? Sheena Easton, she's a talented girl too.
