  1. Cool, I want to practice some WoWY on piano later, I'm starting to really get it

  2. Oh I did sex education way back in year six. That still scares me to this day. Although if you'd like to talk about that, how shall I say it...discuss away.

    How are you doing was more so the point though.
  3. I'm doing fine, thank you

    What was scary about it in Australia?
  4. I'm not sure if we should go into it here for reasons of public viewing.

    I also won't name the 'organisation' because they have a habit of being little bitches about things, but they know who they are (so might some others) and one thing that annoys me slightly gets me very annoyed very quickly. They mentioned to us - you could use condoms not once, not twice, not three times, even more if you just give them a wash.

    Hey, you might wanna save yourself some effort and time, but how about a big fucking no. I just found that totally stupid. The chemist gives out condoms for free. I don't get offended easily or even disgusted easily, but that's not either...that's more so safety and a possible life committment you may or may not want.

    Which then ties into ethics and other weird shit.
  5. Okay, here in Sweden sexual education isn't scary at all At least not for us, may be because we have a young modern teacher. 25 year male.

    Nothing has feeled scary at all.

    I wonder which Bruce album I'll choose, I'm choosing between Magic and The Rising.

    Ours were pretty young too...I'd have said maybe 25-30 if that. I don't think with sexual education in general age really matters, you're bound to have some experience at an older or younger age. If you're asexual, however, then that's a completely different experience for them.

    The Rising is about Bruce's feelings towards the 2001 terrorist attacks and the aftermath it caused America and the world. Magic seems to be a disjoint of various songs that cover various topics e.g. death, love, ambition, loneliness, conquering the world etc. Pretty much a standard Bruce album in other words.
  7. So you'd say The Rising is more of a concept where all the songs make the best sense together and that Magic is more like a collection of good songs?

    Not a concept album as such - at least in the sense of a bigger album e.g. The Last Temptation, Quadrophenia, The Wall, I Robot etc (all fantastic albums by the way) but it has ideas behind it and maybe he's telling stories from a third-person point of view. In that case, yes.

    Magic is really just a straight-up rock and roll album of good songs and that's why I like it.
  9. But does Magic have songs that more kinda fit together? With a more common theme.

  10. Not really now that I think about it.
  11. Ok... then I'm still about as torned between the two.
