Question 747: Colour me what?
"This is a song about prejudice
And the language of prejudice
And the power of... the language of... prejudice
It's called
Prejudice
In this modern freespoken society
There is a word that we still hold taboo
A word with a terrible history of being used to abuse oppress and subdue
Just six seemingly harmless letters arranged in a way will form a word
With more power than the pieces of metal that are forged to make swords
A couple of G's an R and an E an I and an N
Just six little letters all jumbled together have caused damage that we may never mend
And it's important that we all respect that if these people should happen to choose to reclaim the word as their own it doesn't mean the rest of you have a right to its use
So never underestimate
The power that language imparts
Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can break hearts
A couple of G's G's unless you've had to live it an R and an E Even I am careful with it
An I and an N, in the end it will only offend, don't want to have to spell it out again
Yeah
Only a ______ can call another ______ ______
Only a ______ can call another ______ ______
So listen to me if you care for your health
You wont call me ______ less your ______ yourselfOnly a ______ can call another ______ ______"
What is this six letter word?
The above piece is written by?
Don't google this.

Question 746: Heaven or Hell
Glenn Frey described the origins of the song:
#brownie for the band
ID the songThe song began as a demo tape, an instrumental by Don Felder. He’d been submitting tapes and song ideas to us since he’d joined the band, always instrumentals, since he didn’t sing. But this particular demo, unlike many of the others, had room for singing. It immediately got our attention. The first working title, the name we gave it, was ‘Mexican Reggae'.

Hey.
We're gonna cut it down to just one question per day (officially) and see how that works out. This system will be in place until further notice.

Question 742: "SmacK" That around a bit
Nonsensical title, but used to describe a nonsensical world which is yet to make sense. A massive advertising campaign aimed at kids(which 1 isn't), ID the company & the person blanked out (said person is the mascot)
#brownie points for the name of the campaign, which is what you need to sit through an episode of it.
