Hey, I’ll do my best, here is my take;

I’d like to talk to you, But the TV is too loud— It’s pretending to be your head, Its speaker is so much like your mouth.

Someone feeling frustration over wanting to talk about things but the person can’t hear them because they only listen to and regurgitate what the TV (main stream media or government controlled media) wants them to say.

My country has risen from its knees In all its negative growth. I negatively agree with everything— Here’s my answer to your non-question:

We were getting back up after the fall of the USSR when everything fell apart and cratered. I don’t agree with what is going on, even though you didn’t ask I am going to tell you how I feel about all this anyway.

Where have you been for eight years, Fucking inhuman beings?! I want to watch the ballet— Let the swans dance!

This has been going on for 8 years now and you have turned a blind eye to it. I want to watch Swan Lake again at the ballet (referencing Russia’s primary artistic exports historically is ballet, of which Swan Lake is one of the most popular/wellknown)

Let Grandpa tremble in fear for his “Lake.” Get the nightingales off the screen— Let the swans dance!

Not entirely sure what this is referring to, my best guess is juxtaposing story elements of Swan Lake to current political happenings in Russia, ie comparing Putin to a grandpa and lake may be ambiguous as a reference to Swan Lake and Putin’s lakeside palace.

When it’s all over, you’ll be silent And pretend you had nothing to do with it. Your face is more sour than a Crimean cherry plum: You’re clearly slightly depressed about something.

When we, or future generations, fix this you are just going to pretend you had nothing to do with it, you’re a liar, like the lies they tell us about why we have the right to invade Crimea in Ukraine to justify our war with an innocent country. You know it is wrong but you keep lying to yourself about why.

I’d like to talk to you, But the TV is too loud— It’s pretending to be your head, Its speaker is so much like your mouth.

Repeat of the first verse; Someone feeling frustration over wanting to talk about things but the person can’t hear them because they only listen to and regurgitate what the TV (main stream media or government controlled media) wants them to say.

Where have you been for eight years, Fucking monsters?! I want to watch a ballet— Let the swans dance!

Repeat of the second verse but changing “Fucking inhuman monsters” to “fucking monsters”

Let Grandpa tremble for his “Lake.”

Repeat of the first line in the fourth verse but changing fear to tremble, again most likely referencing Putin and him willing to sacrifice the people of Russia in order to keep his extreme wealth and lake side palace.

Get off the screen, Solovyov— Let the swans dance!

Solovyov is a famous TV presenter in Russia, which I believe the speaker believes, or is inferring, is a government shill or otherwise bought off to only report what Putin wants him to report. So they are demanding Solovyov be removed from TV and to give the people back their freedom (swans dancing)

Hope that helped if you were being sincere about needing assistence to understand it. I have ADHD myself and have several friends with both ADHD and learning disabilities (they are co-morbidities of ADHD) so I can understand the frustration.

I want to buy it but that website gives off scammy vibes.

Noticed several red flags that made me hesitate once it was in my cart.

Funny thing is, he does have a helicopter and his helicopter pilots license. Which he got in case of emergencies. After the LA fires this year I saw an interview with him where he was talking about it.

He was making fun of himself because he got his license and the helicopter to flee things like the LA fire but helicopters are expensive and he couldn’t afford more than a 2-seater so he can’t take his whole family if he ever had to really use it.

So my comment was based off a real thing he may say as to why he needed the money.

Tbh though, I could see him going with that third one.

Thank You!!

Agreed about 90s Chappelle… I think he would have had more empathy and understanding in selecting gigs than current Chappelle.

You’re right, I guess spin is the wrong word here since it is a PR term and Bill Burr isn’t a PR type of guy.

I intended to mean, I wonder what he will say about this when he is publicly asked about it.

I am assuming he will be blunt and honest with answers ranging from,

“it’s none of your damn business”

to

“I needed a new helicopter that has more than 2 seats so I can evacuate my family from LA safely once shit hits the fan and I don’t want to put myself in a Sofie’s Choice kinda situation”

or

“Sorry, I wasn’t thinking when I accepted the job but donated the paycheck to the 9/11 families fund.”

Agreed on the Bill Burr part.

He is the only one who I was surprised and disappointed to see attending. All those others are people who’d I expect to chase money over morals and I didn’t respect as individuals already.

I wonder how he is going to spin this.

It’s not lazy to ask someone who seems to know something about the topic within a discussion thread about said topic. You know more than I do on this.

I understand how you may not want to take the time to answer someone’s question but also you could have replied with the link you eventually did instead of saying “Seriously?” Within the context of calling others lazy you could also qualify under the same term since you took the time to respond but not with the answer.

With search being what it is nowadays I wouldn’t know if I am getting a good result to find out the answer since it is of a technical and specific nature I may or may not even know if I am familiar with to begin with. It could take me much longer to figure it out, or I will give up and not be interested in finding out more about a field you seem to have an interest and knowledge about and I am demonstrating I want to know more about.

I think it is fair to ask for more information from someone who shows more expertise in the topic before searching.

Thanks!

Agreed!

I don’t know what this is but it is a topic I am somewhat familiar with and it is somehow significant enough to be a headline.

Curious minds would like to know more.
