NBCOUT MDMA was introduced in the 70s much like how LSD was introduced in the 60s, before its recipe was conspicuously spread among the Middle-class. Where Timothy Leary propagated LSD culture, Michael Clegg trafficked XTC without consequence to gay bars & clubs.

NBCOUT lol

NBCOUT Could NBC please define 'female' (since it's cited in the article)? The media's stealth redefinition of words (without any explanation) is so intriguing. Is this some sort of org over reader power move? Cowardice? Deferring to activists? Laziness?Curious minds would pay to know.

Kacey Musgraves responds to Grammys deeming new album pop instead of countryKacey Musgraves will always be a country girl. Yet, the Recording Academy recently deemed the 'Justified' singer's latest album, 'Star-Crossed,' ineligible for consideration in country categories at the next Grammy Awards ceremony. If you make good country music, they will shun you. Most of the stuff on mainstream “country” radio is bad pop music Oh the humanity... It didn't do Taylor Swift any harm. I'm sure she'd rather have more fans, more money and more people listening to her music.
