I wish this had been posted in its entirety so as to stimulate the discussion it was meant to stimulate.
I agree completely to the reasoning that it was made. Rap used to be a bold cultural statement that was uniquely that of it's creators.

The music industry had bastardized it into marginalized pop music at best. It became the trend to use the music to rise up out of the poverty. Once this trend started, The industry started to engineer it's own studio created blase crap and as long as money was involved, every one went along with it.

I miss the days of Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, Grand Master Flash, Shinehead, Big Daddy Kane, Ice-T, Roxanne Shante and rest of the artists who pioneered the movement. I can't stand the stuff they call Rap now, the mainstream crap that flaunts a big bass, naked girls and MTV style.

It's like if U2 sold out and started making Pop albums and sat back and waited to get paid!
The Empowerment these artists garnered for themselves is all but gone. Sucked into the void of MTV and money sucking "soulless" big business, just like every other fresh music style to come along.

But that's just my opinion....

They forgot to add that they SUCK!

They didn't forget; they just haven't figured that out yet.

yeah but Blame Bono!

The Kashmir entrance of the plane gave me goosebumps.
Also, I didn't think pilots could have glasses or contacts? Or is it just that they can't be colorblind?
Anyway, if we had this technology for spyplanes in the 50's, it makes you wonder what technology we don't know about now.


It's all satellite now.


I thought the guy in the chase car had to reach out his window to steady the wing so it could taxi?

Although this vid is worth watching for Jolie looking hot, I reserve the right to downvote before a vid has made it through to sifted on all U2 and Meatloaf content

Beatles. They used to have a cartoon about them on Saturday mornings, right before or after Johnny Quest and King Kong.

In the late 70's, "arena band rock" finally got to the point where I couldn't stand it any more, and I remember hearing Talking Heads and a few others that were pushing the envelope.

Then I went to college in the 80's and U2, English Beat, New Order, Flock of Seagulls, etc. just stole my heart. Yazzoo, too.

I really can't listen to 70's rock any more for some weird reason.
