Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted February 11, 2020 Any excuse to post a link to that story about how Paul Simon was a bullshitter of the highest order and would have been killed by South African militants had Little Stevie Van Zandt not intervened.

And stop posting Instagram posts too. Can't you just write a sentence and put a link like everyone? Don't be offended, but I find it pretty unnerving. And the vast part of those posts actually don't carry information, only are old photos of old actresses on their birthday, celebrated on Instagram by some perfect unknown. What's the purpose of that? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
