Long story short, I am from a small town in Tennessee and I went to see bassnectar on new years eve in Nashville. It was my first show of any sort of music. I had been mentally preparing myself for this and listen to everything I could by him to get a feel for what it would be like. I went into Bridgestone arena and thought I was ready for what was going to happen. G Jones and Tipper opened for him and they melted my face. It was hard to think Bassnectar could top them but dear god... He did. He melted my entire body and my soul. I don't dance or anything but his music forces you to dance. It forces your true self to come out and break away from how you have been raised and who you think you are. You are whoever you want to be when you see him. I would close my eyes and start coming up with weird things and I would do them and I would think to myself, I wonder if anyone is watching me and when you opened your eyes there was someone right infront of you doing something even more weird but it was so beautiful because that's exactly what they wanted to be doing and who they really were. After the show I went outside and it was sad to me to look at this world with people working at a job they hate wishing they could restart somewhere and get out of their life because they are not satisfied with their self. It really weighed heavy on me because I realized I was one of those people too, just waking up to work at a night shift job doing something I hated to get a check that just gets me by. I want to be someone that isn't in this melting pot of dough being spread on this pan and being cut out to what the world thinks is the " social norm". I am 19 years old and I'm going to have a baby tomorrow and I will raise him to understand that he has a mind of his own and he is a human being unlike anyone else in this world and where he wants to go and what he wants to be is his choice because I won't let him get cut into this cookie that will make him miserable. What I'm really trying to say is that I hope Lorin sees this and understands that he doesn't just make music. He changed my life and made me want to be a different person and made me want to be the person I want to be. Not who my parents want me to be or who my teachers or anyone wants me to be. I am my own self and if I want to fucking rage in my car to bassnectar and someone gives me a weird look then I don't give a shit because they are not who they want to be they are who the world wants them to be. They are too afraid to be different. My advice to anyone who actually reads all of this is too find a way to see bassnectar and listen to him when he says. Free your mind and let go. Let his music take control of you

Great video clip. I had a job once at the US Steel Pipe Works, Geneva Plant, Utah where I took "slag temperatures" before they sprayed "devils liquor" sump water on it to cool it down. I wore wooden shoe "clogs" to protect my shoes from melting (the same kind coke oven operators wear when servicing the ovens). 24 hours after a "thimble car" dump of red-hot slag was made, I went out and traversed the dump-site, measuring congealed slag surface temperatures, sometimes up to and often exceeding 600 degrees F. I wore thick canvas over-clothes, but anywhere my body came into pointed contact with the canvas (elbows and knees) I would get "burned" because of the heat transferred from the canvas material through my regular clothes. The heat at breathing height was about 200 degrees F. I wore a face shield (clear) to protect my face from the heat and had to wear a scarf over my nose to prevent breathing in super-heated air. As it was, I still singed the hairs inside my nose if I inhaled a little too quickly.

Imagine walking around inside a pizza oven, that is what it felt like. It dried me out, like desiccating me from the inside out breathing in all that super hot and very dry air.

Watching the thimble cars dump slag at night was one of the most incredible visual experiences I have ever had. The second after they tip a thimble, when the splash of red hot slag boiling down the slope glows intensely red, there follows milliseconds later, a "blast" of intense infrared radiation, that hits you in the face like a gust of hot wind.

The sea-gulls around dusk, would often ride the intense thermals created by the super-heated air, drawing cooler air up from below the slag pits, combining with the hot air whoosh it would go, rushing up the precipitous cliffs, man-made mini-mountains of slag, there they would fly along the thermals updraft about 100 feet up and nearly parallel to the rail car dump line. Their white underbelly's "glowing" brilliantly orange, phoenix like they hovered there almost motionless reflecting the bright yellow-orange and red hues of the cooling slag. It was like they were on fire it was so bright in the fading light of the day. It was the only beautiful sight to see in an otherwise desolate and foreboding wasteland of glassy rock-like congealed blast furnace slag.

I remember reading and rereading an article in Total Film where they talked to "Andy McNab" about how realistic various action films are and he said that Heat was the most realistic and he'd personally taught them how to shoot guns and Val Kilmer was incredibly good at shooting the guns and could have shot guns for a living

"Heat" (1995) often shown to USMC recruits as an example of a proper and rapid reload is the moment where Val Kilmer's character, Chris Shiherlis, performs a quick magazine change during a tense bank robbery shootout, demonstrating a smooth and efficient reloading technique under pressure. Notably, the Marines have also acknowledged the film's accuracy in depicting how to retreat under fire in a chaotic situation, particularly during the film's climactic shootout sequence.

Key points about this scene:
  • Realism:
    The reload is depicted as a practical maneuver, closely mirroring real-world tactical reloading techniques used by law enforcement and military personnel.
  • Under Pressure:
    The scene shows Kilmer performing the reload while actively engaged in a high-stakes gunfight, highlighting the importance of quick and efficient reloading under stress.
  • Training Tool:
    Due to its realistic portrayal, the scene has been used by military trainers to demonstrate proper reloading techniques to recruits.

This year 1984, I was an eleven years old living with my great grandma in Gbonota, Bong county. My very first time to listen to music was 1993 in gbarnga City in my late girl friend room ( Theresa Garmei Flomo) may her soul rest in peace. I lost my very first love. However, Mrs Watta Kpissay Kollie replaced her. This is a memory song for me.
