- Thanks to the new NodeBB platform adopted by TNCR, Rick-Rolling is no longer technically possible.
That's not true. There's a tutorial on how to not get the preview screen.

Interview with Rick Astley
Seems pretty normal.

Yes, I'd like to be a drummer in a cool rock ‘n’ roll band, of course, but I'm not. And sure, it's nice if anybody thinks, ‘He's actually a real artist, he's a musician.’ But I can appreciate where I am in life and not be bothered about the ‘cool’ thing. I feel pretty lucky to have stumbled into my situation, even though people have said all manner of things about me that weren't particularly nice. I don't really give a shit after all these years, because my life has been really easy because I sang that one song.”
UNQUOTEAcoustic Version of his famous song. I remember how popular that song was even in Taiwan.

Link to video Link to video@taiwan_girl I liked that version of "Never Gonna Give You Up."
It's amazing what a different treatment to a "classic" song can make. Look at the slow, mournful version of "Galveston" that Glen Campbell did with Jimmy Webb. Actually made me like that song.
Now, as to "Highway to Hell?"
Nah.
