You’re in the spotlight, everybody’s hanging round
Nobody wants to miss it
You’re livin dreams, your livin like a kennedy
Isn’t what you had envisioned
So you’re fadin out
Oh you’re fadin now
You’re on the edge, you’re right up on the pinnacle
Standin up top lookin down
You wonder if there’s light, if you could fly away
You’re gonna leave this town
But you’re holdin out
Oh you holdin out
You
Shine
Brighter than all the others
You
Fly
Higher than the stars above
You glow
Oh you know
You’re on the master list, and you ain’t ever gonna
Get up offa this stage
You’re gonna be exalted just like a queen
Get used to this face
Don’t go fadin’ out
Oh you’re fadin now
Chorus
And they watch and they watch and they watch and they see all the love in your eyes
The Scotch Snap is everywhere in modern hip hop – a metrically accented sixteenth note followed by a dotted eighth note. Why is it everywhere? And where did it come from?
The answer lies in how American speak english.

There’s a reason music videos look strange. I could just talk about framerate, cuts and continuity… or I could get an actual music video director. And a leaf blower.

Why would Tucker Carlson, who used to brag about being an “out-of-the-closet elitist,” use his primetime Fox News show to rail against the “ruling class?”
Tucker Carlson has branded himself as a populist, condemning the “liberal elite” that he argues makes up the American “ruling class.” It’s a good shtick, and it’s helped him stand out from other Fox News hosts. But while Tucker decries the “elite” on his show, he regularly ignores major stories of Republican economic policies that harm the working class, choosing instead to focus on bogus culture war stories.
That isn’t an accident. Carlson’s show is meant to distract Fox News viewers from Republican economics, channeling their frustration and anger at groups that don’t deserve it. That kind of misdirection produces what Marxist theorists call “false consciousness”: when workers are tricked into accepting their own exploitation.
