Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"This is what Governor Pritzker calls cooperation"
Here's what Governor Pritzker actually said:
Yeah, sure sounds like he stabbed you in the back, swearing he's cooperating and all that.
“And if I ever find him, this is what I will say to the tiny fingered man: My name is Governor Pritzker. You harmed my constituents. Prepare to cry.”
OK, now my mind is coming up with a complete reboot of the movie.

Some of those still need some work.
tiiime keeps on ticking ticking ticking….into the fuuuuutuuuurrrrrrrrrrreee
Top ten Hammond B3 and Mini Moog performances in rock right there.
So oddly specific lol... What are some of the others? I don't know if I'm very good at distinguishing between different types of organs and synths, but Shine on you Crazy Diamond maybe? Or Welcome to the Machine?
Well, I'm a recovering musician. That particular setting on the MiniMoog and the Lesley rotating speakers on the Hammond B3 are super famous, used in a lot of recordings so easy to recognize.
When Floyd recored SIOYCD, it was just before digital hit (FM, sampling), and the band had made enough money that he could use pretty much any synth/organ/electric piano/piano and even more more exotic stuff that he wanted. Rabbit hole on the keys on that record here: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/topic/71945-full-demonstration-of-the-real-keyboards-on-shine-on-you-crazy-diamond/
Both songs share in common the fact that although the keyboard parts are not very difficult, you would miss them very much in the song; it really would not sound at all like the song you know despite these being mostly "background" instruments.
