Val Keating I just realised that Joe Rogan hasn’t asked any professional this essential question that will be the key in transforming him.

He hasn’t asked “are we human? Or are we dancer?”

How ****ed up is it when the absolute best analysis you can get about this situation comes from Russell Brand!!!

Even if he is reading from this article, at least he's taking it and running with it in a half decent direction:

Finally something that is not a lie; not sure it will do his electoral chances much good, but the truth is sometimes uncomfortable.


He really ****ed up today when talking about the anniversary of the National apology to the stolen generation, he said, “Sorry isn’t the hardest word to say, the hardest is I forgive you”. Honestly.

Correct me if iam wrong but isn't " I forgive you" 3 words? And of course that will be harder to say, it's 3 times the words.....

Here's something 5 times as hard to say "* right off you peanut".

My favourite theory is that if Thompson did say it, he was riffing on the final verse of WB Yeats's "Among the Schoolchildren":

Labour is blossoming or dancing where
The body is not bruised to pleasure soul,
Nor beauty born out of its own despair,
Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil.
O chestnut tree, great rooted blossomer,
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?
 
Although my favourite song inspired by WB Yeats is "Troy" by Sinead O'Connor. To be fair, I'm not much in to The Killers and I like Sinead a lot, especially that early album, probably about a brazillian times more than anything the Killers ever did.

In particular though I like poor old Billy Yeats getting all upset because he fell in love with the town bike and she didn't want much to do with a bookish poet, so he took it out on her in verse. Take that Maud!

No Second Troy
Why should I blame her that she filled my days
With misery, or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways,
Or hurled the little streets upon the great,
Had they but courage equal to desire?
What could have made her peaceful with a mind
That nobleness made simple as a fire,
With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind
That is not natural in an age like this,
Being high and solitary and most stern?
Why, what could she have done, being what she is?
Was there another Troy for her to burn?
