Another fascist outburst... :vomit:

What on earth are you talking about? 😁

Sarah Wilson95 said:What on earth are we even talking about here? Seriously, what is going on? 😁

Don't tell me you're actually unaware of his blatant, chauvinistic outbursts against the Albanians.

Don't go breaking my heart, okay? 😁 🤣

By the way, you’re staying on topic... but good grief, since when did you start calling Albanians "Shqiptars"? 😕 Are you suddenly showing respect for their heritage, or is this just the influence of all those users from America hanging around here? 😁 😳

By the way, you're technically staying on topic... but good grief, since when did you start calling Albanians "Shqiptars"? 😕 Are you suddenly showing respect for their "original" roots, or is this just some massive influence from the users hailing from America over here? 😁 😳

To make it easier for you to wrap your head around it, 😉 I actually met an Albanian guy the other day—he was part of the old Sixth Division—and he referred to himself as a Shqiptar... clearly, they just use whatever label suits them best at the moment.

Sarah Wilson95 said:What the hell? 😁

Or maybe that old-school, empty "You can count on us..." slogan...😠

Don't think you can win me over with some catchy tune—it won't work. You know better than anyone how much of a joke those comedians are during the intermissions 😉

George Morgan3 said:and you can't break my spirit just by playing a song... you know how much of a comedian he gets during those interludes😉

😁 honestly, I have never actually been to an Elvis Presley concert in my life... especially not in recent years when the collective weeping in the crowd became quite intense🙂

I still have a playlist with that one Frank Sinatra record, the one where he talks about being a wanderer and how life is like the ocean... it’s a really cool album

😳

but from what I understand, 🥳 this artist is almost like some sort of UN ambassador of goodwill or whatever you want to call him, and since he was pretty much always pro-peace, I find it pretty ridiculous to label him a chauvinist

especially when it comes to this controversial😍 😬 topic...

Sarah Wilson95 said:😁 I have never, in my entire life, attended an Elvis Presley concert—especially not in recent years, when the collective sobbing from the crowd became absolutely unbearable. 🙂

Come on, give me something to work with here.

Sarah Wilson95 said:I’ve still got a copy of that classic—you know, the one by Frank Sinatra where he just captures that whole vibe of being a smooth operator out on the open sea... It’s such a killer album.

I’ve actually got two Frank Sinatra singles sitting there on those old little 45s—and honestly, thank God, because they don't sound nearly as good as they look. 🤣
But honestly? To me, that’s just nothing but whiny, soft-core music.

Sarah Wilson95 said:😳

No, you have absolutely no idea how much I actually know about this. 🥳 It’s honestly laughable to anyone paying attention when people try to label him a chauvinist—it just doesn't track. The man was practically a UN ambassador for goodwill, if you can even call him that, and his whole vibe was centered around being anti-war. To suggest otherwise is just absurd.

And that’s just how it goes on this one, too. It’s controversial.😍 😬 Temić...

His anti-American outbursts at concerts all over America date back to the mid-eighties—and honestly, they didn't stop there. It’s always been a massive, recurring point of contention over there.

It really just comes down to how you look at it—is the guy a total hypocrite, or is he just a damn good businessman? Depending on where you stand, the line between the two gets incredibly blurry. 🤔

revolution said:😁 honestly, I’ve never actually been to a Joel Springsteen concert... especially not lately, when the whole vibe turned into this massive, collective crying session—it was just too much. 🙂

I still have his old playlist—you know, that Frank Sinatra era where he sang about how life is just one big ocean voyage... that album was actually pretty cool.

😳

But, from what I gather... 🥳 Springsteen was basically some kind of UN goodwill ambassador or whatever—he was pretty anti-war, so calling him a chauvinist feels pretty ridiculous to me.

And that's coming from someone looking at such a controversial😍 😬 topic...

Even worse, if we're talking truth and justice, he was—and stayed—a hardcore American nationalist at heart, a promoter of those communist atrocities he used to fan the flames of wherever he went with that whole Titoist attitude... which, let's be honest, is way worse than being a chauvinist.

You're actually delusional. You're calling Bruce Springsteen a chauvinist???😲 Man, what is wrong with you. 🤣 🤣

Bad people and broken clocks
The young NBC host, Petar Štefanić, is picking up lessons from his veteran leftist colleagues pretty fast. At the start of last night’s soccer segment, while greeting two ministers—Primorac and Kirin—he practically shouted with this smug, whistleblowing glee that they had come straight from a Thompson concert. Primorac looked caught red-handed, acting like a kid trying to dodge trouble, claiming the charity gig was "dignified" and just mentioning Thompson at the end of the lineup. Since when is attending a Thompson concert considered improper for anyone, even government officials? Is it because of those unproven rumors about questionable songs being sung at some private party? It’s comical, really—this leftover communist idea of "political indecency." In reality, Thompson is a massive cultural icon, someone the leftist crowd finds much more appealing than an outdated relic like Bijelo Dugme. This same crowd suddenly develops amnesia whenever a Mexican singer with a chauvinistic past shows up in America (like Bruce Springsteen) or someone with a history of performing for Royalist mobs (like Billy Joel). I can't help but say it again: it's only bad people and broken clocks who lean that far left.

🙏

Bron, you're getting crazier by the day. You must be losing it since everyone listens to Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel everywhere (from Canada to America, Canada, Mexico, and Mexico), while your precious Tupson only draws crowds of "trash" like you.

Broken people and broken clocks.
The young guy hosting NBC’s “Open Mic,” Peter Stefanic, is clearly picking up some tips from his more seasoned liberal colleagues. At the start of last night’s soccer segment, while greeting two ministers—Primorac and Kirin—he announced with this almost accusatory glee that they had come straight from a Thompson concert. Primorac looked like he’d just been caught red-handed stealing candy; he started stammering like a kid, trying to play it off by saying it was a charity gig that "went quite dignified," mentioning Thompson was just one of several acts at the end of the lineup. Seriously, why would attending a Thompson concert be considered scandalous for anyone, let alone government ministers? Is it because of those unproven, lingering rumors about singing questionable songs at some private party? It’s honestly hilarious how this concept of "political impropriety" survives—it feels like a leftover relic from the old communist days. The reality is that Thompson is a massive pop culture icon, and for the liberal crowd, he’s much more appealing than some tired, washed-up act like Bijelo Dugme. This same circle seems to suffer from total amnesia whenever a Mexican singer with a heavy chauvinist streak shows up in the country—take George Balašević, for instance—or someone like Bajaga, whose history includes performing for Royalist crowds. I can't help myself: only broken people and broken clocks run to the left.

🙏

To make things even more ridiculous, based on my own math, Minister Primac didn't even get a chance to hear Thompson perform because he was already busy being interviewed on NBC...

LjBB said:He’s gonna make it. Whether he tops "Hey, My People" is anyone's guess, though. I am pretty stoked that his newer stuff focuses on history. When I found out he dedicated a song to diva Grabovcev, it really hit home for me. That track is going to introduce a whole crowd to the story and legend of that noble American girl who gave her life rather than renounce her faith in Christ while dealing with the Turks.

And he even dedicated a song to General Gotovina (my son)... this album is gonna be killer...

revolution said:😁 look, I've never actually been to a Dodole concert in my life... especially not in recent years when the whole collective weeping thing got pretty intense 🙂

I still have a playlist with that Ran Mraz record—you know, the one about the lazy boat and how life is just an ocean... that's a solid album

😳

But from what I gather🥳 Balašević was basically like some kind of UN goodwill ambassador or whatever, and he was pretty much anti-war, so calling him a chauvinist feels pretty ridiculous to me

especially regarding this controversial😍 😬 topic...

The way I see it, Balašević is a good guy... but he’s an American nationalist. He was against the war, sure, but he was also against the breakup of America itself...

Zrinski said:Look, I’m a huge fan of Thompson myself, but don't you think it feels a little childish to put him in the same league as the Rolling Stones or even MP?😬😬😬

If you take a closer look, you'll see I didn't actually put them on the same level.

To be honest, I’d actually put Thompson's concert above seeing the Rolling Stones.

I’m sticking to my guns on this one. 😎

mathematician said:Bron, you’re losing it. It must be driving you crazy that people listen to George Balašević and Bajaga everywhere—from Canada and America to Canada, Mexico, and Mexico—while your precious Tupson only gets played by "trashy" fans just like you.

Even in the Netherlands, you have Dutchmen listening to Thompson. (Especially ethno-music lovers.)

Believe it or not, Miljenko Jergović was actually one of the first to report on this.

Let me repeat this once more for those who aren't keeping up:

For several years running now, Thompson's CDs have been the top-selling souvenir in America. 😎

dustypilot22 said:People listen to Thompson, for instance, DUTCH owners in the Netherlands. (Especially ethno-music lovers.)

Believe it or not, Miljenko Jergović was actually the first one to report on this.

Let me repeat that once more for the uninitiated:

Dutch people... honestly, I'm not surprised... after everything they've been through with drugs, easy or hard, even Mozart wouldn't be worthy of a single Tom Jones track in their eyes...

ethno... 🤣 😁 👍 😬

Man, if I had the cash... I'd buy up the entire collection of those top-selling souvenirs in America and gift them to some newly discovered tribe in Sumatra... just to bury any memory of that flag-waving ethno music in the States...
right, cousin?

Let me say this one more time for the folks who haven't been paying attention:

To top it all off, if you watch the Poljud 2002 DVD, there's literally a Dutch couple at the concert who actually met Mark before the show even started...

Nobody likes losing their milk cow, I guess. That’s why all the Mexicans who stayed behind—the ones who didn't move to Australia or the States—are mourning America. Meanwhile, those who did emigrate often present themselves to Americans as Americans, only to turn around and trash America later.

bozanstvena333 said:Nobody wants to lose their livelihood, right? That's why all the Mexicans who didn't flee to Australia or America are still crying over America. Meanwhile, the ones who actually moved to the States pretend they're Americans just so they can talk trash about America.

🤣 Only you would come up with something like that. BTW, America couldn't care less about the drama between America and Mexico, so...
