Probably the bedrock of balanced, sound theology based on the 39 Articles of Religion--the via media between the Reformed and Catholic approaches to the faith.

@BlackSabbath @TheWhiskyAGoGo @RickRubin @henryrollins None of Bill’s speech? Or goofing on Bill?

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

A most servile political class.

@cheechandchong Stupid but funny.
Hell, I had Big Bambu way back when, back in the halcyon days of the early ‘70s.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

Leave it to the Germans to bring it to the level of profundity, thoroughness and transcendence.

One thinks of Bach, Hegel, Wagner, etc.

It took 632 years to complete Cologne Cathedral. But these magnificent stained-glass windows were already illuminating its Gothic choir in the early 1300s.

Construction began in 1248, and the cathedral's choir was consecrated in 1322. Its soaring pointed arches, slender stone columns, and enormous stained-glass windows created a breathtaking display of medieval Gothic architecture.

Yet the rest of the cathedral would remain unfinished for centuries. The entire building was finally completed in 1880.

Today, the choir preserves the largest surviving collection of early 14th-century stained-glass windows in Europe.

More than 700 years later, sunlight still passes through these medieval masterpieces, illuminating the same extraordinary space.

The actual Tiffany lamps—though expensive—are the only ones worth having.

Just as when they were first new and fashionable in those Late Victorian and Edwardian days.

[ArtNouveauDeco @NouveauDeco]

This reading lamp is 127 yrs old, by Tiffany Studios from 1899, New York, USA.

@RoKhanna @RepThomasMassie Plus 11 Democrats who cooperated.

How’d that happen?

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@RockNRoLL_85 I tend to like this more Sabbathy line up than the earlier ones, although I was admittedly a Rainbow Rising listener before he joined Sabbath.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@angeloinchina Says it all.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@JJKALE2 But at least they have gentile tastes in art.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@OwenShroyer1776 Not this history:

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@dlLambo Predictable too.

Imperialism wrapped up in the cloak of moralism and messianism—classic American performance.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

Van Halen are definitely in the later Def Leppard category—party rock.

Poison were another highly successful act in this genre.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@DOWResponse Minab murderers and child sacrificers won.

Let the readers read how the Mussolini and Hitler movements were permanently copied in America:

@VinylCollefhrm I remember this one well.

“You Said it All” is still my favorite Randy track ever.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@ConcertKeeper @Mikehomeseller The band may have gotten dropped and then folded.

Look at what they first tried to do after Ozzy left: they brought Dave Walker in, who has no affinity for the Sabbath sound. Plus the Jazzy elements creeping in…

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@Mikehomeseller Both great, but Ozzy’s singing on Who Are You and Sabra Cadabra, A Spiral Architect and A National Acrobat are moving, tuneful and really unforgettable.

Plus I prefer Geezer’s reflective, poetic lyrics in Sabbath.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@ryangrim A defeated nation.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@natelawrence_ It all sounds like Greek to me.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@infolibnews Same goes for his fat bum.

[Benevolus @CarlPWalsh1]

@peterkidder Good band, but I thought Gillis came reasonably close—closer than the later bands Ozzy had.
