On Guest Column: Have any recent bands lived up to The Beatles’ fame, talent?

Or rather, bigoted individuals focus on the (often-times imaginary) negative aspects of the movement as a reason to discredit the whole.

Salvia is not something that most people would want to do more than once...it is quite a disturbing "trip." The headache afterwards isn't much fun either.

BM: "Never seeing a claim made before now counts as the claim is untrue?"
Um, not necessarily but in this case...maybe. So I take your response to mean you don't have any sources for your claim? I'm not just busting your balls here Brandon, I honestly want to know if what you type here is true. I've never seen this claim elsewhere and am interested in if it is a true or not.
BM: "Do you always lie, or only when no one knows who you are?"
How do you figure that I lied? Not that I'm offended by your petty name-calling, just asking for some proof.
QUESTION: Have I ever referred to you (as you claim) as a "bowel movement?"
ANSWER: Nope, never did. I did cite your initials though, didn't know that was a crime.

BM: "I'm sorry you expect 1,000 words of content in 600 words of space."
All I've ever asked you for was citations for your claims. This is not an unreasonable request. Your constant attempts to obsfucate the issue have not gone unnoticed. I assume you are continuing to cloud the issue with rhetoric and name-calling because you have no data to back up your claims.
BM: "Two weeks ago you referred to me as a bowel movement..."
Nope, never said that. I don't believe I acted hurt at your juvenile name-calling either. All I've ever asked for is some sources for your claims. All that you have been able to come up with was some quotes you took out of context from an editorial about the N.O. Mayoral elections from a year ago. Does the Economic School or the Journalism School support these slap-dash attempts at political/socio-economic coverage?
BM: "...a cost-benefit analysis of rebuilding the lowest areas of New Orleans was immediately stymied by politicians who branded any attempt to do so as "racially insensitive."
I have never seen this claim made before. Do you have any sources for it? Or are you going to pull a random quote out of an EDITORIAL (!) again?
Posted on November 8 at 2:07 p.m.
But still no sources cited...at least you are consistent.

Gee...thanks for doing my "homework" for me (I didn't ask you to do that, I just asked for some documentation for your claims). It looks like I'm going to have to keep waiting. Do you get all of your information from the Opinion pages in the USA Today?
BM: "The issue has devolved to navel-gazing, and meanwhile the city floods again."
The levees are being rebuilt and people are starting to return to the devastated city...not exactly "navel gazing." You do a great job at being obtuse Brandon...keep up with your studies!!

BM: "s77white: you are a troll whose comments carry no meaning other than "I don't like the writer." I'm sure that, if I knew who you were, I wouldn't like you, too, so why do you bother reading and commenting?"
I don't think its very nice of you to call me names Brandon...all I've ever asked from you is citations and facts (which seem to not matter to you). Are you trying to be the next Cal Thomas or are you really as dense as you seem?
CASE IN POINT: "Yes, a cost-benefit analysis of rebuilding the lowest areas of New Orleans was immediately stymied by politicians who branded any attempt to do so as "racially insensitive."
Where did you get this information from?

That is your opinion empire, just as the list is mine. But, for the record, every band listed does have a HUGE and worldwide following.
