I guarantee there’s a line of oxygen tanks waiting on the side of the stage.

Reply to comment by joelluber in ELI5: Everyone knows that Ticketmaster is the biggest scumbucket enterprise on the planet yet no band seems able to avoid their grasp. What's to stop a really major act (e.g. Taylor Swift) from performing in venues that are not controlled by Ticketmaster, or just setting up a parallel company? by havereddit
Yup. They’ve got just about all of the major league and university arenas and stadiums in the country.

No. This is awful. As everyone else is saying, it’s passive-aggressive and manipulative.

Most guitarists strum/pick with their dominant hand and fret with their non-dominant, so that may be part of the issue that you’re experiencing.

Have you considered getting a lefty guitar?
It might feel more natural for you.

Some of them, yes. Not all.

Why would the US have jurisdiction as to what goes on in Niue?

We used to hear it on Thanksgiving on the radio in California as we drove to my grandparents’ place in Lake Tahoe in the 80s & 90s.
I just played it on Spotify this morning for myself while I was prepping some Thanksgiving dishes.

They were not clean of profanity, but Gab’s lyrics were mostly positive.

It is very rare that I would recommend anyone listen to an explicitly Christian artist, but the rap collective LA Symphony was fantastic (now broken up, but find their music).

As another commenter noted, most of the clean rap that you’ll find will be in the 80s prior to the gangsta rap movement.
Young MC’s Stone Cold Rhyming album (containing “Bust A Move”) is really good and clean of profanity (contains a few mild sexual references).

While I love Tribe Called Quest, and they are undeniably great, they do not rap without profanity or the N-word (is it a racial slur in the context that they use it in…?).
