Fan-effing-tastic. I loved that. Very well written and performed.
I've never heard of these rap battles of history. Are there any other good ones worth watching?


All of them imo. Some really are epic. My favourite is probably einsten vs. hawking.

Cleverbot: No, YOU are Cleverbot.

User: Hmm, this seems like some kind of koan.

Cleverbot: Why?

User: Am I a butterfly dreaming of being Cleverbot or vice-versa?

Cleverbot: Only if you want to be.

User: That's pretty deep, or very obtuse.

Cleverbot: Good evening.

User: Nice non-sequitur. Did you just reboot or something?

Cleverbot: For a beer.

User: OK, I'm always happy to talk about beer. What kind do you like?

Cleverbot: Unhealthy food always seems to be the tastiest.

User: Yeah, but is beer, really a food?

Cleverbot: You don't seem like one.

User: Not very clever tonight CB.

Cleverbot: Heh. Clever enough to stop you in your tracks.

User: Hmm. So you're just playing dumb?

Cleverbot: Playing?

Cleverbot: I am a human and I eat food and live and stuff.

User: Can you prove it?

Cleverbot: Test me.

User: OK. What was Elvis Presley's favorite food?

Cleverbot: Inspector gadgets dogs name was Brain.

User: That could be true, but I'm asking about Elvis.

Cleverbot: No, we just started talking.

User: I'm tiring of this.

Cleverbot: You better be, but I'm just getting started.

User: Right. You're a bit confrontational tonight.

Cleverbot: A lot of people say that.

Cleverbot: Just.

User: Bye.

Geez, how hard is it to say Shakespeare, Vivaldi, Bach, Elvis Presley, etc.? Really, Katie could have made him look even dumber by breaking the question into smaller, more detailed questions. What makes a culture? What is a culture? What are elements of "white" culture, etc. Who are some white artists, philosophers, etc.? If he can't answer these questions the audience knows his IQ is low enough to be institutionalized. Which it is, and he should be.

Didn't hear a whole lot of rock 'n roll in my house when I was a kid. My mom was mostly into country and easy listening (yikes), and my father was old so he liked stuff from Bing Crosby or the Andrews Sisters. I shit you not. However my mom did like Elvis Presley (and still does), but that's not what got me into rock. I pretty much found it on my own, like the rest of my brothers and sisters. I do remember feeling the secret thrill of listening to Nazareth's "Hair Of The Dog" (via my cousin. Maybe Crushbug and I are related).



Hearing "SON OF A BITCH!" in a song is pretty cool when you're 8 years old. In 1975. And lets not underestimate the power of the cow bell.

My first record was Billy Joel's 'Glass Houses', and then after that I bought AC/DC's 'Back In Black', Cheap Trick's 'Dream Police', Styx's 'Paradise Theater', Pink Floyd's 'The Wall', Rush's 'Moving Pictures', Van Halen's first album (aka 'Van Halen I'), sort of in that order, and then a lot more stuff after that, including teh AWESOME 'Dawn Patrol'.

Remember (rock'n) rolling on the carpet when I was little, listening to Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino etc. / mixed with The Rolling Stones, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Yes..

Thank you for the promote.
