. . . and somehow it is working. I don't know what it means, but I think I have passed a magical barrier that allows me to not care that the music in my game is not matched to the period in which it takes place. In other words, I no longer feel the pressure to listen to Rome's Hottest Hits as they were in the "good old days."


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

All you need to do now Letterboy is to buy the bluray boxed set of the outstanding HBO series "Rome".

The 80s was the best decade for American music in the country's history. No other decade touches it. Way to go, brother!
