Yes, I liked Depeche Mode back in the day. No. I am not gay.

  2. We used to dance to bands like Depech Mode in the clubs.

    Yes was my second concert at the Boston Garden. I won a dance contest at a high school dance. They were the first to have laser light shows at their concerts.

    Interesting the recent sad deaths of famous people don’t give actual causes. Too young too.

  3. Sorta off topic? Since Fur copped to liking Depeche, might I suggest a “confessional post” where we all admit the shameful truth of bands we secretly like.

    They don’t have to, we can put two-and-two together. We were warned almost 2 years ago by Dr. Malone and Dr. McCullough as to what today was going to be like for the jab. It’s here, Dr. Malone knew, and they shut him and others up. 30 million Moderna doses to be destroyed – they’re burning the evidence because no one wants them now. The worse hasn’t even arrived yet. Monkey pox is being tamped down. Can’t have people attacking gays again over their disease spreading behavior. Gotta protect the sexual deviants.

    Wonder why no one wants the jab now? Purebloods don’t need to answer that. 🙂

  5. “Personal Jesus” was & still is a great song. I’m a metal head as a rule, but the bands like Depeche Mode were so eccentric that I couldn’t help but enjoy them.
