Branding, like Coca-Cola is a brand of soda pop, comes from branding, like cattlemen using a brand to burn an emblem onto the hides of their cattle.

It's time to kick the tires and light the fires, Big Bird.


People listening to The Devil went Down to Georgia always complain that the Devil's awesome rock and roll song was way better than Johnny's generic fiddle solo, and they would be right, except that you never actually hear the songs that Johnny played. That fiddle part in the middle isn't his song, it's just an instrumental break. Instead, Charlie Daniels just kinda tells you what he played:

He played Fire on the Mountain, run, boys, run
Devil's in The House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough (apparently this isn't actually a named song, but some sort of square dance patter thing)
Granny Does Your Dog Bite? No, child, no

So it's not the greatest song in the world? It's just a tribute?

Pride is one of the seven deadly sins, and by gambling, Johnny himself knows he's sinning. I presume when he dies that Jack Chick rear end in a top hat God will kick him to hell anyway, and the Devil will just laugh like "lol pwned".

Eh whatever, I like the Guitar Hero cover better. Although the Devil's solo is still the best bit.

the contest is of technical skill not just better music, jonny plays 4 songs flawlessly in the time that the devil plays his rock solo.

I've definitely heard them say it the way that makes it make sense. "Manic (very short pause) street preachers" with almost no gap between the second and third words.

Might be because English isn't my first language, but it never even entered my mind before this page of this thread that it could mean anything but street preachers who are manic. Known about them and had a couple of their songs on my playlists since the 90s fwiw.

8 mile isn't just his rap album name its a road outside town that measures how many miles away the central hub downtown is when driving/taking the bus to/from Detroit on highway 1.

Technically it's miles from the Detroit River. Mile roads extend into the suburbs as well (although they take on multiple names eventually) 8 Mile marks the city limits.

- Thanks to a random comment from my girlfriend, I've realized that I say "bye" on the phone the same way my dad does. Never realized it.

- The lyric in Blinded By The Light is "And little Early Pearly Came by in his curly-wurly", not "And little early birdy made my anus curly wurly". To be fair, I knew it wasn't the actual lyric just on principle, I just never looked it up.

Along with a good chunk of the city's medical marijuana dispensaries: as close as they can get to the demand coming out of the 'burbs without actually being there.

It's also the road that demarks the boundary between where white folks live and black folks live. Not in a vague sense either, if you look up Detroit on the "racial dot map" it's incredibly obvious where 8 Mile Road is, because one side of the street is all white, the other side is all black.
