Saw 'Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts' in Dublin a week ago. Stupid awesome concert- highly recommend if you get the chance to see them when they come back to the new world. I saw him for the first time a couple years ago, doing a mostly acoustic show, and was mind-blown at how he could still be so... magnificent! Seriously one of the top 3 concerts I've ever been to. This one was with full band, hard-rocking, and holy ***** can this guy still kick your ass two sides to Tuesday- I can't hardly think of a band I'd rather see in their prime- this dude is special and timeless. It was a pretty broad swath of music, but the big ones like 'Hey Hey, My My' were so damn alive! Even 'Cinnamon Girl' and 'Like a Hurricane' were the freshest things you've ever heard... even if you've heard them 50 million times before. It was... all... so... stupid... good.

This has got to be one of the stupidest things ever posted on the internet. And that people read this, thought 'yes, you speak the truth', is a testament to just how warped and effective propaganda can be. Do you honestly think any of your fellow Americans, any of your fellow Bills fans, take any delight in this happening- what a sad state of mind you've burrowed yourself into.

For the sake of the most simple math possible, let's say 'years away' equals 2 years, and 'only set back a few months' equals 3 months... Let me get that second brain cell fired up here... that would mean we're now talking about nuke capability in 2 years and 3 months. According to your quotes, where exactly did the 2 years become zero years?

Yes, gonna feel the rain on my skin. ) Saw NY for the first and so far only time 2 years ago on a solo tour- no lie, it was one of my top 3 concerts all time. He was mind-blowing good, not just 'excellent for an old guy' good. -

Looking forward to a mostlyish vacation June month - we're gonna bonk around Europe for a while then see Neil Young in Ireland at the end of it. ) BTW, he and The Who are playing the Hollywood Bowl in September, like 2 days apart- thinking about heading down there to get some El Coyote and catching a couple shows. -

We need a smile emoji 'round these parts- Tarnt nothin' wrong with just smiling from time to time. The thumbs-up, check-mark champion-ship and beer-mug all weren't quite right, but I had to pick one. ) sup -

Caught Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds a few nights ago- first-time concert-goer, long time fan. I'll start at the end, appropriately- he concluded the show with this as a solo, - For those of you familiar with his music, I'd like to tell you that all hell broke loose in the meantime... and it did. ) It was a ***** Fantastic show!!! It started metered for a few songs, but then just exploded during Jubilee Street and was unstoppable from there. It was a great set that probed into so many places I'd either never heard or never considered, but came out on the other side of a song... just... so... damned... impressed. Nick Cave is not nice music. Nothing is less than unsettling, but the ruthless is thoughtful, and the beautiful is nothing short of stunning. If you have a chance to see him, everything is meticulous. This is what I saw the other night- yes he flubbed a lyric, and the audio does zero justice to the show, but I'm so glad somebody recorded the song: -
Breathtaking.

This is a fun part though- How can you not feel the passion for journalism just oozing through his bones... per AI: Rupert Murdoch has not written any books or significant works of literature under his own name. While he has penned annual letters to stockholders, these are primarily business-related and do not represent creative writing. A New Yorker article mentioned an aborted autobiography. Beyond having zero passion for anything related to actual journalism, I'm not going to get into his personal stuff. He is a businessperson out to create personal wealth with no regard for anything else. I think it's called a sociopath.
