Enjoyment for Hundreds of Millions

Let us recall the funk-metal stylings of Michael S. Rulle Jr.

Here he is again. After 1800 words of Beatles trivia - not a bad thing in itself if unclunked a little - we have this:
So what political message am I going to pull from this 40th anniversary of the dissolution of the Beatles? It is obvious, right? They were poor, but not victims. They did not ask for hand outs. They could not have been invented by a government program. They pursued self interest but provided enjoyment for hundreds of millions. Why is this not the message of our current president and his congressional allies?
What "this"? I'm stumped. The market will make more Beatles? Nobody should have done anything about that collapsing market which was so great it made Beatles? Democrats aren't in the greed game like The Beatles? The government should mail acid to everyone? Socialist environments like the UK would have killed Steven Hawking could never have produced The Beatles? THE BEATLES therefore nothing else unlike The Beatles?

    O'cialism abhors white pop bands. "Thug" music only.

    I think I see your problem.

    I think the point is pretty clear, and I'd like to get onboard and endorse it wholeheartedly.

    If these uninsured poor cancer victims would just get together and start a band, everything would work out just fine, and taxpayers wouldn't have to subsidize their not dying and shit, but instead could download their songs from iTunes.

    It's a win win!

    everybody should start a band?

    Actually, I support that. However, I fear it will end up like this :

    The key to the Beatles' success was when they moved to Hamburg, thus going John Galt on Liverpool and the British nanny state that was stultifying their talent.

    Oddly, the same can be said about Mohammed Atta...

    Hey Capcha! Who else went to Hamburg?

    Your going to summon The F00l with this post, aren't you? Or has hebeen here all along?

    And ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, getting all the poor uninsured bastards to get together with three other poor
    uninsured bastards to form a band is no long term solution to our health insurance crisis. We also need one Michael Jackson per foursome. Then all the Jackos can buy the rights to their songs. The proceeds can be used for health insurance. Yes, this still leaves us with about four million Pete Bests but fuck them.

    They did not ask for hand outs.

    Ringo's mom is quoted in "Shout! the Beatles in their generation" saying that he was on the dole during the early days of the band, and he, George, and Paul all spent most of their youths in council estates. Only John grew up middle class, and even he went on the dole when Cynthia was pregnant. So: BZZT.

    Then they go and spoil it all by revealing that he is the "Chair of the Republican House Policy Committee".
    Fuck me sideways in a blue balloon as we say in these latitudes on occasions when You Couldn't Make This Up.

    United States Representative Thaddeus G. McCotter (MI) is Chair of the Republican House Policy Committee and a Lester Bangs Wannabe

    Makes think of the Nation of Ulysses:

    Cough Syrup - why don't you cough it up?
    Checkin' out all the ingredients,
    looking for the expedient,
    driving even baby, over the median, where you're comin' yeah, that's where I'm leaving

    Perpetual motion macine!

    Cough Drop tastes like a lollipop, vitamin C's got its own disease, health food inquisition dioceses, if you are what you eat, I'm sweet

    Perpetual Motion Machine

    Just one does in a syrup house, over the counter and into the teaspoon toast, the say only 4 times daily, anything to get you out of bed anyway.

    Robitussin- why don't you cough it up?
    Dr. Mom - why don't you cough it up?
    Nyquil - why don't you cough it up?
    Benadryl - why don't you cough it up?

    perpetual motion machine; yeah, yeah yeah.

    Our Marxist-Socialist President who is also Hitler from Kenya and wants to euthanize all the grannies?

    No wonder he doesn't get it.

    It's comical!

    (Captcha can use real words? Isn't that cheating or something?)

    I feel like the guy in "Objective Burma" who's been so abused by the Japanese he begs Errol Flynn to kill him: "Please ... end it now."

    A Lester Bangs wannabe wants to be a dead rock journalist. That's not weird, of course.
