Driving Game (Part 30)
3Original Explanation:
Basic Rules: Follow the posted music video with a different song, band, or musician tied directly to the previous post.
Example: I post Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal.
You could then post Michael Bolton, Jackson Browne, Outcast - Ms. Jackson, Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal, Fun Lovin Criminals…
Create a new comment for your submission and leave replies just to talk about the comment’s connection or validity.
You can veto if you don’t agree that there’s a connection. In that case, you can post your own connection to the previous song or @ the person you’re vetoing and tell them they need to make the connection clear or replace it. No hard feelings, either way, we’re just having fun sharing music. Note: If someone has already made a new connection to the song you want to veto, you missed your chance and the song stands. You can still let the person know where you found the problem and maybe they can clear things up.
The full history with links to each of the past threads can be found on the Driving Game Cheat Sheet.

Picking up from:
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band w/ Johnny Cash & Ricky Skaggs - Will the Circle Be Unbroken
Boz Scaggs - Harbor Lights
@Kyeh
I must be tired… took me a while to see the connection! (and God knows I ‘cut a rug’ to Boz’s songs at the Dark Horse enough times!)
@chienfou
I have an undying love for Boz!
This one would be a romantic slow dance…

@mml666
Glad to see a new name here!
Please post the artist - title info on a separate line outside the video to make it easier to create the ‘cheat sheet’. thanks
Joe Exotic - I Saw a Tiger
Couldn’t resist. I’m sorry.
@ExtraMedium
another show I studiously avoided…
@chienfou @ExtraMedium me too. And, living in Tampa, so tired of the story.
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @llangley
We all know what Carol Fuckin’ Baskin did.
I saw on Season 2 that Joe is running a dating site from prison… Go 'Murica Entrepreneurship!
@ExtraMedium @llangley @mike808
No one would be paying that any attention if no one had paid any attention to the show.
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @llangley
And what were you so enthralled with during The Great Lockdown that was worth paying attention to in the alternative?
@ExtraMedium @llangley @mike808
I didn’t miss a beat. Worked even more than usual in the ER. Kept up my home. Read the paper. Took care of my Mom, Kept up my vehicles. Played board games with my wife. Entertained the family at the pool during the summer. Kept up a garden. And of course… posted shit here.
I found plenty to do without resorting to Joe Exotic and the shitshow his life was portrayed as on TV (at least according to what little I read about him).
He falls in the same category as Snookie, the Kardashians, Bruce Jenner/Caitlyn Jenner and a host of others that I am aware of tangentially but have never felt the need to invest much emotional or temporal capital in.
/youtube Joe Walsh - Life’s Been Good
@chienfou @chienfou he’s been sitting in this week with Stephen Colbert. His face is weirding me out…too smooth or something
@llangley
it’s just that life’s been good to him so far…
@chienfou Yep…I need to get me some of that [the face-smoothing stuff (unless it’s Botox)]… definitely not Joe Walsh, I like the Eagles better before he got there
@chienfou @llangley He makes such weird expressions! He kind of looks like his face is made of wax.
@Kyeh Thank you!!! I thought it was me…
@Kyeh @llangley It’s def botox and makeup.
It looks weird because there are literally no expression cues on his face our monkey brains normally use to assign friend/foe and convey emotional information. The facial muscles are literally paralyzed until it wears off.
So he can’t smile, grin, grimace, frown, wink, etc. because the messages from his brain don’t twitch any muscles, even subconsciously, or muscles that normally combine and work together don’t.
And that makes our monkey brains unsettled and we don’t know how to process it.
@llangley @mike808 Well, that’s waaaay too much botox. He was never what I’d call handsome so it’s strange to me that he’d do that - unless it’s for reasons other than cosmetic.
@Kyeh @llangley I wonder if he’s had a mild stroke and lost some motor functions. Then again, maybe life beings so good to him has taken its toll.
@llangley @mike808 Someone on Quora said that his odd speech and manner are “the long-term aftereffects of prolonged drug and alcohol abuse - self-medicating for undiagnosed mental issues that he had suffered since childhood, including ADHD and Asperger’s Syndrome.”
It still looks like he may have had Botox as well, though.
@Kyeh @llangley
So some incel, living in their mom’s basement, hiding behind a shield of anonymity, and with undiagnosed severe social and sexual dysfunction themselves, used their internet access to make up some stuff to fit their self-confirming presumptions, virtue-signal, and make themselves feel better about their own lack of any talent.
And we wonder why the internet, social media, and faux journalism broadcasters are cesspools of conspiracy rage-mongers and have become fact deserts.

This was pure snark, in case it wasn’t obvious. I include my own prior posts as examples too, but at least I own that they’re purely conjecture.

@chienfou @Kyeh @mossygreen
Fixed that giphy. It’s not you, it’s giphy trying to monetize every image someone posted to them for free. They just suck at it more than pinterest or instagram.
