[@InfernosReaper]

I remember Dave Grohl telling a story about when Lemmy showed up to some gathering and the first thing he did when he noticed Dave's baby was put out his cigar into his alcohol without anyone even asking him to. Apparently, the genuine, fairly nice guy we see in these interviews was real. It's such a rarity. Usually, even if someone starts nice, the industry drama, band drama, buying too much into the hype, or the drugs and/or alcohol get to them, but not here

Every time I saw Motorhead in concert I was amazed at the attendees. Long haired rockers, bikers, country fans, punks, rap fans, clean cut people and everyone got along. Lemmy once stopped playing and yelled at a guy in the audience for getting too rowdy and almost starting a fight. He said there was no place for violence at his show. Over the years I saw them 9 times.

[@livewire2759]

@@wankertanker1813 Non statists (anarchists) are anti-corporation. Corporations can't exist without governments, so the two go hand in hand. Voting statists who call themselves "libertarian" are not libertarians. Those of us who actually understand the non aggression principle also understand that governments violate that principle and are therefore immoral. However, we are not anti business, because we also understand that businesses not tied to govts. do not violate the NAP because free trade is 100% voluntary.

He was right about everything apart from Blair. In 60 years 1997 was the only time I felt hope and that for a decade at least we as a country did the right things. Increased the wages of Nurses and teachers, built new hospitals instead of leaving them to rack and ruin as Thatcher had done, helped bring a temporary peace in NI, reduced poverty for elderly and the working classes and played our part ( for once) in helping refugees who were running from conflicts! And before anyone says " Oh, but what about Iraq"? The USA were going in no matter what we did here in the UK.
