I hated the color 2000’s era macs. Didn’t like their one mouse click. Didn’t like Apple. Wanted an MP3 player and iPod was starting to really take off. Considered Zune but figured it’s easier to ask how to use a device if you get the popular one. Fast forward 8 years and I got an iPhone because it was popular and I didn’t have any desire to mod or do fancy computer stuff on my phone like Android. Add in the ice cream, jellybean, etc and it was getting confusing. Apple has features released that other phones have had for years already but folks don’t care. My friends like the Google phone and a few others the Samsungs. The rest are just apple people due to being basic I guess. Not having expandable memory has and still frustrates me but I’m already planning to upgrade at 3 years to the next iPhone no matter what the features. It’s a bit of a cult but no different than Ford/Chevy/Dodge trucks. Didn’t even look at the competition and went from a Pontiac to F150 because of the popularity and I always wanted a Ford. Hope that’s insight but Samsung makes a fine phone, just not big appliances.

Sorry. Their guitarist passed away super young and the song is a bit of a reflection and tribute/memory to him. It’s her singing about missing him, thinking about him everyday and how he’s very far away, being dead. I think he was early 20’s when he died.

Reply to comment by JetPunk in TIL that Fahrenheit 451, a book about a distopian future where books are banned and burned, was banned and burned by the apartheid regime in South Africa with other tens of thousands. by open_closet

Originally published in Playboy. Other fun fact. 451 is what the fire department said was the temp for paper to burn. Don’t remember anything else about reading the book in junior high.
