Specifically the clips were Devil Went down to Georgia, Stand By Your Man, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and even Joe Sat's The Extremist, and Winonas got a big brown weaver by Primus!

^Hey! I'd take 70's Dolly Parton (even her music!)  before Marillion or any neo-prog.

Dolly Parton was no big surprise, fake country for wannabes and mama's boys.

Well, I think I would agree that having a hard on for Marillion is maybe taking things just a little too far...

ah yes I checked it all out. Watched some racist banned cartoons out of curio and checked the 'What are you listening to right now' thread. Clips include The Band, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette...
 
Bet they stay in their own forum and stay as the minority that they are.

in a dimwitted Hollywood 1960s TV kind of way, it probably thought it was showing the Nazis and German military as utter fools and the Allies as geniuses-- television in the 60s was uniquely facetious and ignorant

I do recall a couple of my older relatives who served in WW II expressing their dislike for that show.
My Uncle Tad was a POW under the Germans, he was 'liberated' by the Russians who treated him worse. He was pretty vocal about how disrespectful he thought the show was.

Great movie with an outstanding but underrated actor as Rutger Hauer.

From the darkness brought by the Holocaust I'd like to invite you to read the histories of Olga Benario and her daughter Anita Leocádio.




Sad, too sad but inspiring.

Amusing how the Stormfront boys denigrate this forum in a sexual nature, reflecting the juvenile, bullying and decidedly anti-intellectual nature of Hitler (and various other Neanderthalish knuckledraggers like skinheads and the klan):
 
"I really dislike prog archives, it's generally full of guys who have a hard on only for marillion." [This from "Inno a Satana" which is the title of a poem translated as "Hymn to Satan"]
 
"I got the impression that many of them want to have sex with Geddy Lee." [This from "Staropramen", aka "Blue Effect", aka Allan Rouse]
 
But I suppose mistakenly relating their own sexual frustrations and deviant desires to others is to be expected from their ilk. Consider the solitary lives they lead, trapped in their tiny apartments or parent's basements crammed with Nazi paraphernalia, brooding over imaginary injustices, unable to date women because the walls of their room are draped with Hitler posters in much the same way a teenage girl would similarly enshrine Justin Bieber.
 
It is a sad, degenerate life. But look at the bright side: you're not living it!
 
 
 
 
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
