NOMBEDES Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The San Fernando Valley Mall where Tom Petty shot some of the Free Fall'n video has been converted into office space for Google. Just another sign of the downfall of the west. Google, Facebook (etc) and the Communist Chinese do not have our best interests at heart. AI, facial recognition software, microphones in every home. What a song Tom could write today!! George Orwell was a genius, look at what we have become.

Thanks Chris (I think). The internet is still the internet and people type stuff in there. Whether you like what they type or not really depends on your worldview, as demonstrated countless times here. Personally, I think middle age anxiety (I'm middle aged) underpins much of the controversy and pearl clutching here. But that's just the opinion of some random person who types stuff on the internet.
