Never could get into them. Your facts say different - each to their own. |

AIDS was so rife in the 80’s / 90’s. Don’t hear much of it these days. Awful song. Yup, new disease and wrong time to be infected. Medicine seems to have caught up with it these days and modern day drugs allow people to lead pretty untroubled lives I believe? Was a death sentence at that time. Freddie Mercury and Jermaine Stewart spring to mind off the top of my head but there were many others? |

Never could get into them. Your facts say different - each to their own. It's all subjective at the end of the day. A front man who is up himself never helps. As Patrick Bet-David says, it's all about data; and as Dan Bongino says, I always produce receipts: the data and receipts do say that you've got that one wrong. As you say though, each to their own. |
