Tyco Brahe (sp?)

The Emperor Nero

― Jonathan Williams (ex machina), Monday, 30 December 2002 06:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Chaucer. "What does he know of England, who only England knows?" Started the craze for finding contexts for everything. Hold on that's anti-rockist isn't it? Fuck.

the guy who honored the fire (oh wait)

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 30 December 2002 07:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Euclid, Nietzsche

― Clarke B., Monday, 30 December 2002 08:25 (twenty-three years ago)

How does OW Holme's fantastic "Three generations of imbeciles are enough!" quote fit into this?

Tyco Brahe (sp?)

Nah, Kepler was the Rockist -- what with all those crazy dreams about flying to the Moon and shit.

How does OW Holme's fantastic "Three generations of imbeciles are enough!" quote fit into this?

If only he were alive and said that today, thinking about the Royals (Windsor or Bush, take yer pick).

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 30 December 2002 08:33 (twenty-three years ago)

But who started the fire?
Billy Joel and that crowd of his. Don't let him tell you otherwise.

Tyco Brahe: imprisoners scholars he deagreed with in his island castle! He kept a dwarf as a pet. His other pet, an elk, died from falling down castle stairs drunk.

Attila the Hun. He loved Korn.

the Duke of Wellington?

― Jonathan Williams (ex machina), Monday, 30 December 2002 13:58 (twenty-three years ago)

i'd like to give five rockist points to Isaac Newton, sir
and the remaining ninety-five, collectively, to all those Roman Emperors who, rockist to their toe nails and rotten bonemarrow, rocked in every bloody style imaginable

― Amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 30 December 2002 17:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Mohammed
(Jesus was indie)
New Thread:
Siddhartha Gautama...whats on yer walkman?

Ramses

― Jonathan Williams (ex machina), Monday, 30 December 2002 18:41 (twenty-three years ago)

How come nobody's mentioned Sisyphus? He was, like, THE big time rockist.

― Emmet Matheson, Monday, 30 December 2002 18:42 (twenty-three years ago)

True. He even "rolled"

― Lord Custos Omega (Lord Custos Omega), Monday, 30 December 2002 18:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Sis' sure did "roll", no doubt 'bout that
and Sis' seems to've been "rockist" alright
yet the bizarresque thingy about Sis' was that he didn't (methinks) particularly "rock"

post-fire Sisyphus was a non-rocking rockist
(summat like post-No Quarter Jimmy Page)

Bill Bixby

― weatheringdaleson (weatheringdaleson), Wednesday, 1 January 2003 11:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Hell, I meant the guy from Fantastic Four.

Why am I online?
