He's a hipster just like you

He likes his sharona.

What does it mean for restoring America's international relations if the subject of George W. Bush's blatant rockism enters the international discourse?

― Mickey (modestmickey), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 16:07 (twenty years ago)

He digs Vashti Bunyan, Shirley Collins, The Boredoms and Sun City Girls just like the rest of you

Both George W. Bush and Sun City Girls have embraced Saddam Hussein at one point. (Granted, it was an animatronic Saddam in the latter's case.)

Well there ya go

Probably less of a rockist than Kerry.

Is there a spelling error in the thread title? Bush wants to put weapons in space, so doesn't that make him a rocketist?

fuck, I need to get offline

Laura Bush is a huge Ben Stiller fan.

Rockism is a lot like "freedom" and "democracy". We will spread it to those people of the world who have long been oppressed by a lack or rock. And we shall prevail.

George Jones ain't rockist.

― PopSarah (PopSarah), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

There's nothing rockist about the music itself, it's the reasoning.

I don't know: privileging an old country artist seems pretty rockist to me. (xpost)

George Bush: "I am Iraquist."

He hasn't even evolved to the level of rockist yet. Rockist thought makes some faulty assumptions about authorship and authenticity but at it's core is based on logic, reason and history: all concepts that elude GWB completely.

Also, why does the vast left wing dominated media conspiracy, such as Pitchforkmedia.com, refuse to address the issue of John Kerry's rockism? Is this not overwhelming evidence of the vast liberal conspiracy?

― Mickey (modestmickey), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 20:07 (twenty years ago)

I imagine if this had somehow been an issue in the campaign, both would have professed to have been rockists but even though Kerry was probably more of one, having played bass in that terrible 60's surf band and all, the public would have believed the "real" rockist was Bush.

this thread is sofa king we todd did.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 20:55 (twenty years ago)

bcz the vast liberal media conspiracy is itself ROCKIST!

XPOST

He's not a rockist, but he was a rock smoker.

George Bush: "I am Iraquist."

-- Masked Gazza (m...), April 12th, 2005.

if only Bush could pronounce Iraq correctly, this joke would make more sense
