There was one thing that always felt a bit off to me.
Having lived in Miami for a few years, I remember being at this wedding where they started playing those old-school local anthems, and the crowd just completely froze... nobody was feeling it at all. But the second they switched over to some classic pop hits or those big mainstream radio songs, the whole party finally came to life. I honestly don't quite get how people can find themselves dancing along to those heavy, melancholy ballads about life passing by...

You took the words right out of my mouth...

Just a little piece of friendly advice for my fellow Americans living abroad.
It might not be obvious, but since most keyboards over there don't have our specific accented letters, seeing "sc" or "sh" used instead of characters like Ç or Š can be a bit distracting when reading... some people on the forum actually end up skipping those posts entirely because of it. If you could just stick to using standard C, S, or Z, it would make things much smoother for everyone...
Thanks!

You really have to watch out for Sony Pictures, because they can be quite ruthless when it comes to things like that, and you might even find yourself getting flagged for copyright issues, much like some of those vendors you see at major trade shows...

It’s also worth noting that the film completely glossed over the connection between the Weather Underground and the East German Stasi, despite there being a massive amount of documentation proving it existed... It's also widely known that the magazine Konkret was actually being funded by the GDR.

If we had a police force like that here in America, I think we'd see a lot less trouble on our streets...

It’s easy to overlook that Adele actually got her start performing with the family band Clannad, featuring her sister Maire along with her brothers Ciaran and Pola Ó Bhraonain.
She performed alongside them until about 1982.
Maire also uses the surname Brennan to keep things simple with the pronunciation...

Austin Fisher said:Correction—it's actually Adiemus, that group that does stuff very similar to Adele, my bad...😉

Since I'm still pretty new to all this, I can't always tell right away if I'm hearing the original track or if someone just uploaded something incorrectly on YouTube...😁

The singer for Adiemus is actually South African, Miriam Stockley...

I wonder why they didn't think to include the story of the USS Grampus on this list...
It was that mission where British forces actually managed to seize a German submarine just before Pearl Harbor took place...
