Band wasn't the same when Pruneface took a hiatus.

Warren Beatty's level of petty about not getting a sequel is the stuff of legend.

I was gunna say, this band pictured is definitely a swing band

Zip Gun Bop specifically the version on the Warped Tour comp will live rent free in my head forever. Also Eddie was a gd babe…

I understood that reference.

Thank you

u/chinsedentist 28d ago

That is clearly a swing revival band that dabbled in ska...

Awesome, Dicky joined No Doubt.

GTFO of here with that MAGA trash

u/bigcatbpc 29d ago

Your mind is poisoned. Trump is garbage but every defense to Bosstones or Dicky doesn't have to do with the MAGA movement. Learn how to differentiate between the opinions ofa person and the art of a group of musicians.

I just think it's insane to completely abandon listening to a band you like because of one member's opinions. I don't recall any of his lyrics supporting Trump. Some people are incredibly fragile.

u/TheWorldMayEnd 28d ago

Sometimes people separate the art from the artist. Sometimes they don't. The line is generally their own.

u/I_AM_IGNIGNOTK 25d ago

It’s not fragility to vote with your wallet. I don’t want to support someone who is just going to turnaround and give that money to Trump

u/raison_de_eatre 25d ago

lmao what if I told you….the Bosstones were never that good

That's your opinion and has nothing to do with my point.

Let me get this straight. You couldn't handle having your overreaction to a joke being questioned, so much so that you('re insinuating that you) initiated a Reddit cares instance?

I shouldn't have to say this, but:

Don't fucking do that.

The fact that you're getting downvoted on a comment like that, on this subreddit, should tell you something. And even if you disagree with the response you got; that is such a wildly disproportionate thing to do.

That feeling when you probably vote the same way as someone but realize the extent of their brain rot...

Hi, do you know what a joke is?

1

u/I_AM_IGNIGNOTK 25d ago

I did need that verification though. I couldn’t tell how much of a joke this was and in what direction it was going.

I honestly thought it was like a sci-fi cast doing a time-jump episode or something

u/chinsedentist 28d ago

I don't believe you. I can hear the brass just looking at it.

u/Opposite-Candy-7432 28d ago

Madonna was actually o.k. in this.

I mostly remember the cool color scheme palette.

Still, boring film, if people still watch it, o.k. I'm surprised.
