Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The song is Spirit In the Sky by Norman Greenbaum Not sure how to put in a spoiler but here are the lyrics for anyone who is interested Spirit In The Sky lyrics When I die and they lay me to rest Gonna go to the place that's the best When I lay me down to die Goin' up to the spirit in the sky Goin' up to the spirit in the sky That's where I'm gonna go when I die When I die and they lay me to rest Gonna go to the place that's the best Prepare yourself, you know it's a must Gotta have a friend in Jesus So you know that when you die He's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky Gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky That's where you're gonna go when you die When you die and they lay you to rest You're gonna go to the place that's the best Never been a sinner, I never sinned I got a friend in Jesus So you know that when I die He's gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky Oh, set me up with the spirit in the sky That's where I'm gonna go when I die When I die and they lay me to rest I'm gonna go to the place that's the best Go to the place that's the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubbie Head Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Are you seriously discussing wearing or not wearing shoes inside the house and why you all like Chucks in the Instagram thread? Seriously? Why not? A bit of conversation coming from the pictures isn't a bad thing, to me. That's the point of this thread isn't it? Or should we just post a comment about how nice the picture is and we're done... It's not like it went totally off topic or anything. Sometimes the "stick to topic" thing is a little bit too much. That's just my opinion, but it's not only now that I notice this... Just needed to express my feelings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 How long before someone says 'OMG does Billie want to die?!?!' Haha yeah or "OMG Billie IS dying...remember when he underlined "ILL" on the wall photo and now THIS OMG" :lol: Or we get a ten page discussion on his religious views (which will be actually worse ...makes me cringe so badly as im fairly sure we are all in the dark on that one *cough virgin mary on guitar cough*) Or...or...maybe we could discuss how his removal from music for a whole month...yes month...has DESTROYED his music taste...forever!!!!

Heather. Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Or...or...maybe we could discuss how his removal from music for a whole month...yes month...has DESTROYED his music taste...forever!!!! This song was a #1 hit in the 70s so I don't think he's got bad taste His religious views *are* interesting. He's obviously anti-organized religion and hypocrisy (theme of the last album... exhausting), but that doesn't preclude his self-proclaimed "fetish for Christianity" which is probably leftover from his brainwashed childhood I'm gonna diagnose Billie as an agnostic with a cultural appreciation for Catholic symbols, imagery, and art, but a hatred for the institution that has produced it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark in the night Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 My stance on this, with anyone, not just celebs, is this: If you don't want your kids pictures getting passed around on the internet, don't post them online. The fact that the guys and their wives have differentiated between having both public and private accounts tells me that they are aware of this potential hazard and are, thus, making deliberate choices about which things they are okay with sharing, and I am all for GDC respecting those choices. But, beyond that, I don't see the need for additional restrictions. It doesn't hurt us to enforce this GDC-only rule. It was just a suggestion anyway. And for the most part, people haven't been posting pics of her kids. But I figured since everyone keeps asking whether or not to post her pictures I suggested, yes when Mike is in them. We have no business posting pictures of her kids even if they are public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[sorry, Hot Fuzz reference ]. Hey, it's a catchy song, I doubt he was trying to say something religious about it, just took a picture of a sky and hey, that reminds me of a song. I do that a lot. Everything reminds me of some song or another. And Cleo is, as ever, too cute XD. The man is such a dork, taking pictures of his feet. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely aren't fans of the institutionalized aspects of religion in the slightest It doesn't hurt us to enforce this GDC-only rule. It was just a suggestion anyway.

We have no business posting pictures of her kids even if they are public. People do keep asking, and the answer from the mods has been the same: If it's from a public account, it's fair game; if not, then it isn't. That seems like a fair and simple enough rule for everyone to follow. Of course there are going to be people who disagree and think that we should never post any pictures that aren't directly related to the guys because they have no interest in seeing such things, but once the rules become about different users' personal preferences and comfort zones, things become a lot more complicated. Basically, you think the rules should be altered; I think they're fine as is. I'm sorry if my opposing viewpoint made you uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerardsangel4977 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ok you made a mountain out of a mole hill. As I said, it was only a suggestion. I'm going to leave it at that. And I'm not uncomfortable, don't be condescending. Then why are you being so defensive about it? All I did was to offer up my alternate perspective on your suggestion (as I feel examining multiple sides of an issue is important for making informed decisions). And your reaction was "It's not hurting anyone" and "It was just a suggestion, anyway" as if I ever treated it as anything but. You shouldn't make such suggestions in the first place if you're going to be dismissive toward the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
