You know, if you put on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon

and sync it to when the RNC Shitshow started, Matt Gaetz shoving his head up Donnie Shit for Brains ass happens right as "Breath" starts.

I can't wait to see Niki Haley speak as soon as "Great Gig in the Sky" starts.

Maybe I shouldn't have started the Fireball Whiskey RNC Bingo game so early.

I could smoke enough weed or drink enough fireball to make it through that shit show. I’ve got a big girl glass of wine and my Cubs on the teevee.

Like Dark Side of the Moon by playing it along with that flaming turd pile?

And .... I am right there with ya on the ‘16 Series.

and would smoke an occasional doobie, there seemed to always be one of your friends that was convinced if you started Dark Side of the Moon right as the Wizard of Oz shifted to color, it would sync with certain scenes.

Kind of like the idea that if you played I Am the Walrus backwards you heard "Paul is dead".

Less fantasy in the Wizard of Oz though

when I was younger man...

Old age sucks, but the discounts at my pot store are cool.

Yeah, I remember that about the Wizard of Oz, but have yet to see if it's true.

I also heard it was better on acid, peyote, or shrooms.

One of these days, before I go to meet all the republicans in hell, I'll have to do it.

Thank you for reminding me.

Can't say it wasn't worth it.

Don't think they even make Advent anymore, but they were beasts back in the day.

today, than I got out of my 3 Foot High Advent Towers back in the day.

I saw The Who back in the 70's and Pete Townshend had these massive stacks of speakers. Saw what's left of The Who in 2013 and it was hard to pick out Pete's stack, but it was still as fucking loud

Now they are Bluetooth in the ear. Times change.

I'm still looking for a replacement pair. The richness was hard to beat.

I had heard about the connection since the early 70s, although with a different synchronization time (start the music as soon as the lion ended his roar). I watched the whole thing stoned a decade ago and although it's surely a coincidence, there are some actual amazing moments. Here is a Youtube which takes care of the timing so it can be easily enjoyed.
