And I'm a bass player, so when I think of Pink Floyd, I think of Waters. But, after seeing the "Pulse" DVD, I would pick that show over seeing Waters do "The Wall" if I had to choose. And I got 48/50 on the citizenship test, and would've tied with Black Jesus if I hadn't read one question too fast. Damn.
I like Pink Floyd, not an amazing amount, but quite a bit. I love Meddle, but Momentary is fun too. I haven't seen The Wall tour, but I do have the CD from Waters back in 1990 when he played the Berlin Wall, and depending on the singer, there's some great stuff on there. That said, Gilmour is one of my favorite guitar players. I love the control he has, he chooses his notes just right, they always seem to glide right into and around the song he's playing. Waters is a great bass player, but sometimes his solo stuff falls a bit flat for me. Just a matter of taste. A reunion tour would be awesome. I saw Page/Plant on the Unledded tour back in the 90's and they were really good. Haven't seen much of them live since, but a full tour (with Jason Bonham or Phil Collins on drums) would be fantastic.
44 for me. Not great... that test seemed insanely easy. 30 seems impossibly low. Also, they should put the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean questions first and then just make it an automatic fail for anyone who gets them both wrong.
The only question that almost threw me off was the Federalist Papers one. When will the bald eagle be arriving and would it prefer if I spread peanut butter on my balls ahead of time?
49/50 here. I got the one wrong about the responsibility of serving on a jury. Is that what an "official" test is like?
Do Juice and I both get blowjobs or just him since he posted first? Crown, I'm impressed. I guarantee 95% of Americans couldn't score that high.
I got 48, the ones I got wrong were the ones about who wrote what. But 40 should be the cut line. Getting over thirty is achievable by watching all of the Michael Bay movies.
I got 48 as well. I missed the Ben Franklin question and the one about the responsibility of all citizens. I put down pay taxes and it said "voting". But not every citizen can vote. Right, Dixie?
48/50. One I missed because I didn't know what Susan B. Anthony did. And the other because I picked "none of these answers" to the question "What is the economic system in the United States?". So really I got 49/50 correct.
A lot of us up here know more about your country's history than our own. It's a LOT more entertaining, I remember enjoying American history class far more than Canadian history.
It's called "not making a fuss". But, we avoided little mess-ups like slavery and the wholesale slaughter of our indigenous population.
I saw Waters do The Wall last year and it was fucking amazing. That being said, I'm more partial to Gilmore's writing style and guitar, and really do like the The Division Bell a lot. Listen to "Coming Back to Life," "Keep Talking," "Wearing the Inside Out" and especially "High Hopes" and tell me that isn't just great music.
I remember a time when beer companies used hot girls in bikinis to sell their beer.. instead of, y'know, things that look like bombs. Beer Company's Marketing Gimmick Shut Down Toronto Intersection
