Abstract Expressionism was a fraud that crippled American art for a generation.
Andy Warhol was the worst hack with his "art", and a first rate con-man.

If you serve me water at a restaurant, what tf are you putting fruit in it for. Fuck that! I will send it back.

Are these two separate opinions, because Andy Warhol's art (at least the famous stuff) was neither Abstract nor Expressionist?

Going backwards here. My favorite cover ever is Johnny Cash doing NIN 'Hurt'. Brilliant and painful.

I often like covers as much as, and sometimes more than, the original versions of songs.

Even when I adore the original.

Agreed. Although I do have my 'sacred' vocalists who's songs in my opinion should not be attempted, but we all probably have at least one of those, right? For me I cannot listen to someone singing a song Freddie Mercury sang, or Prince. It just doesn't work.

Cash's version is the second best of that song.

I've never actually tried that combination, and now I'm thinking I might have to!

This is, bar none, my favorite two-topping combo on a pizza. <3

I almost feel like pineapple/ pepperoni pizza lovers are like secret society, like the Illuminati. We need a secret handshake!

Speaking of Marianne Faithfull:

Load and Reload are good, actually, and everyone who was upset about the demise of Metallica post-Black Album was a few years premature.

I don't know why they waste effort hating those either. The real issue was St. Anger. To me it was... fine? Even though every song sounds the same?

I get some of the lyrics were stupid, and the lack of solos is not really a big complaint for me (you really get tired of the wah-wahs after a Metallica marathon), but I think the biggest problem with St. Anger are the drums. No kidding, they sound like Lars is beating a bunch of Tupperwares with a wooden spoon.

Secret handshake? My god, man, we've got the pizza right there.

Kenny Chesney's cover of I'm On Fire is superior to Springsteen's original.

Gary Jules cover of Mad World has made the Tears for Fears original unlistenable to me. The original is way too fast and just sounds wrong now.

I used to eat pepperoni and pineapple pizzas a lot.

Controversial pizza opinion:

White pizza is better than traditional pizza. (White pizza being one without a tomato based sauce. Generally a bechamel or olive oil/garlic base.)

Though, this is partially due to the many times I've gotten food poisoning from pizza with red sauce (And I will never eat Pizza Hut or Little Caesars pizza again.) and it now makes me gag to even see it.

I agree. We have a place here that makes a really good Philly Beef pizza made with a light butter sauce.

I used to feel the same about both of these singers until I heard Sinead O'Connor cover Nothing Compares To You. Now, I love it equally with prince's original version.
It's on YouTube, if you want to give it a listen. I didn't want to post it here and force you to

And arguably the cover of "Kiss" by Tom Jones & The Art of Noise is the definitive version.

Yeah that is a great cover, along with Alicia Keys 'Why Don't You Call Me'... I think. I'd have to ask my wife if that's the name of it.

As an accomplished weirdo, I like taco pizza. Refried beans and taco sauce for the base, piled with cheese, lettuce shreds, diced tomato, a few jalapeño pepper slices. Some put taco beef or chicken on it, but meat makes it too heavy and oily for me.

Isn’t the traditional Italian pizza based on olive oil and garlic anyway? Adding a mandatory tomato flavor at the bottom strikes me as an American invention, and it’s equally weird as putting ketchup on top.

And just because the Winter story contest kicked off today, and there is major controversy each year in my household ... I never decorate for Christmas until after the American Thanksgiving.

I've had taco pizza, it's pretty good.

I agree with that. Living in the US, one holiday at a time people!

One last thing here. I was there, 3000 years ago, @Off_base, when her cover was released..
