Finger waving moment: why does Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time incite such vitriol? It's a happy holiday song, sung by an icon, aimed at an audience that still believes in Santa Claus. What kid doesn't like that song?
A holiday favorite of mine crushed by the HS band a few years ago.
My grandpa, he's ninety five
And he keeps on dancin'
He's still alive
My grandma, she's ninety two
She loves to dance
And sing some, too
I don't know
But I've been told
If you keep on dancing
You'll never grow old
So when you asked me if I hated you now
It's not you it's just all of the times I missed out
On sleeping with your roommate every time you passed out
But, That's ok
Focus has been on the possibility of beating the Pats to win the division. Another possibility is beating the Pats to make them play wild card weekend and lose home field advantage.
Go Bills!
And all the rest of whom for which
To whensonever of partially
indeterminate
Bio-chemical degradation
Seek the path to sudsy yellow nozzle
Of their foaming nocturnal
Parametric digital whole-wheat
inter-faith
Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta
In Serious Leather... Serious Chains
Then they work the wall
'N work the floor
'N work the pipe
'N work the wall some more
In Serious Leather
In Serious Chains
In Serious Clothing
From when they come downtown
From the ruins of Studio 54
To twist 'n frugg
In an arrogant gesture
To the best of what the 20th Century has
to offer, at the
MUDD CLUB
I'm driving down Sunset Boulevard Sex Pistols on the radio in my car And I must be high I just saw Jesus walk by
I make a hard left as the sun comes up Over Hollywood vampires pushin' their luck Baby lock your door Yeah we've seen this before
And I don't know what you're doing to me But it sure feels right
P.S. - I'm gonna break ranks here and post the song above. My guess is you haven't heard it, thought it might resonate with this group. For me it's about driving in your car listening to a song you like and thinking about good things in your life.
I heard a great comment on my drive home today to the effect that nobody questioned Lamar's ability to be successful in the offense he ran at Louisville. What everyone questioned was whether that offense (and by extension Lamar) could be successful in the NFL.
According to the NY Post the Mets had stopped paying him and filed a grievance. I don't remember hearing that before today.

I went from Phoenix, Arizona
All the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
Northern California
Where the girls are warm
So I could hear my sweet baby say
Keep on a-rock'n me, baby
It's amazing how much we get invested in this sh!t. Myself included, else I never would have responded to OP.
Discourse is good. Helps to challenge and shape my thoughts.
You've fallen into the trap. Why do you care whether or if it transformed her life? And yet you do.
It's a freakin commercial. Could be aimed at any one. Sometimes you, sometimes not you.
Commercial had that vibe. I'm neither part of the target market nor the outrage.
Last year we had the car commercial where the male (I can't assume husband in this day and age - amirite?) surprises the female with trucks for each of them for Xmas. Except she demands the truck he intended for himself through multiple "I love its". I thought she was a controlling, ungrateful, me-first b!tch. I never once considered a social media campaign to raise awareness of the despicable nature of her kind .
And that's all I have to say about that.
No such thing as bad press? I wonder if Peloton actually p!ssed off their target market. Not saying it happened here but it would be genius if their target market was offended by all the outrage.
