  1. You know the funny part is, is that I'm pretty much only constrained by reasonableness

    I have an airplane, because I'm a pilot.  Itt looks like we're coming into a world which diesn't look ***** any world we've ever scene before. Thank god my spelling was corrected, or I'd have to believe a lot if psopke who din't know what spelling is might have a good laugh.  
     

    But the laugh's on then... we're too pathetec to tean then afrench

    Never Mind The Bollocks is the gold standard for punk rock. 

    That is such a gigantic thing to look at. Reality is, in my humble opinion, The Kinks and The Who were punk rock... My Generation and this???

     

    I couldn't even imagine how

    amazing that song was when it dropped... *****in nothing like it in the history of the world.  
     

    The Kinks and The Who were bad.

    And if you wonder what it was in the day

     

     

    I can't - it'd be a trademark infringement- and for the love of Jehozafatts, I obey the law. 

     

  4. Just got a Danish... delivery of this 45 in the mail today. It's got Dogs Part 1 on the other side. I have no idea why they didn't release Dogs Pt.1 and Dogs Pt.2 on the same 45, but they didn't as far as I know.

     

    This is what was on side 1 - one of the best Who songs ever made, Circles:

    First world problems. When I lived overseas in Russia where I taught English, heat was turned off by the central heating authority in the summer (heat is pumped in to apartments by a central government location) so I had to take cold showers daily for months. The fact there's complaints about this from grown men is pure first world softness. America is going downhill. 

    Enough wodka and it starts to feel hot!

  6. This is what grunge sounded like before the I heart Radio (they do not) company, ClearChannel, got their ugly corporate mitts into out broadcasts.  They turned it into more stadium rock (Pearl Jam), because it was easy.  This is Mudhoney:

  7. Just saw Mudhoney tonight... I can't praise a band higher.  They should be what we look back at and say, 'That was grunge', but they're not.  They are grunge, without all the commercialized hype, and they are still gorgeous. 
     

    This is the Electric Prunes:

  8. I'm beginning to question the common knowledge that sub-par NFL quarterbacks have a knack for coaching.  
     

    It sounds nice on paper, they spend their careers studying the game, tell the actual really good quarterbacks what they're picking up from the opposing defense... never get much head-bangin' from actually playing the game.  Poof- coaching material. 
     

    Truth is Ken Dorsey was a terrible NFL quarterback.  I got invited to basically every 49er game during his time there by STH friends both because they loved me... and far secondary because they couldn't offload their tickets for a one-dollar scratcher. 


    Those teams were awful in ways a professional sports team should never be awful, but friends were a blast and the tailgating was fun.  I'll miss Ken Dorsey for that, but not his time with my Bills. 
     

    Anyone got any idea why it's been pounded into our heads that random basketball players make for excellent NFL tight-ends, and backup quarterbacks are coaching gold?

     

    Because I don't. Ken Dorsey threw for 8 touchdowns and 18 interceptions in pro ball, and Bud Grant is the only person to play in both the NBA and NFL. 
     


     

     

  9. Me n the gal both liked The Light You Cannot See' on Netflix.  Very lovely story, but maybe a small bit of over-production/trying too hard - which mildly broke the illusion at points.  I'm becoming a big fan of Lars Eidinger, and he's a lot of terrible fun in this show. 
     

    just discovered recently there's a Criterion Collection channel.  To everyone's delight, YES, they do in fact still offer Ingmar Bergman's 'Seventh Seal', but tonight I watched 'Le Mans' with Steve McQueen. 
     

    Released in 1971, it is a gorgeous film.  The cars are amazing, but the racing cinematography is just perfection.  What they did in the last 20-30 minutes of the racing scene just makes you realize what professionals can really do, and what an army of computer graphics people can only still approximate.  The race scene from 50+ years ago, done with real cars, holds its own today- granted a few cuts in the crashes don't have the modern technology to smooth things out, but the photography often easily surpasses most GoPro's finest moments.   
     

    Trading off some old-world cringy race PA system announcements vs. some cringy acting, and CGI reliance in Ford vs. Ferrari, 'Le Mans' is a better film, though both are fun if you appreciate auto racing that goes both left AND right.
