I want to say that I only became aware of the Ramones because of Rock n Roll High School.

Ha. Same. I can still hear the closing song (Goodnight sweetheart, Goodnight) with Bowser doing his usual Dip De Dips

I went to a Sha-Na-Na concert as a 3rd grader in the late 70s in Austin MN. This would have been in the thick of their TV-show run, which looking up now says it lasted from 78-81. My first show that I went to of my own volition was in 1985 - U2, Unforgettable Fire tour - Armory, Minneapolis MN.

My new fave:

I see Netflix added the Scorsese documentary (again?) recently. Such a great film. My wife was watching over her shoulder as I started it up the other night. She started chuckling when Dylan started belting out "DIDN'T YOUUUUUUUUUUU?!?!?!" during the Like a Rolling Stone sequence.

Got a shipping notice for mine a week ago today, but I still can't get tracking information on it - the tracking number they provided says that USPS is still waiting for it...

Isolation - Plastic Ono Band.

Hell, I'd watch solo competitive hackysack at this point.

More bike rides (though this weather has been too chilly to bring the kids, and now it's too snowy! More time to open up those Travis Picking For Beginners books I bought myself for christmas. More time to cook fantastic weekday dinners. More time to research installing a bidet attachment, while I contemplate toilet paper supply lines. More time to dive into Star Wars Rebels, and Star Wars Clone Wars episodes with my boys. More time for long-form Lego projects (the Apollo 11 model took 4 hours on day 1. Now what?)

Calling all and any art-house film buffs - the Criterion Collection app (a movie streaming app) has been on tilt lately - with a Godard retropective that came out last week, and one on the career of Tartovsky that was released today. They are continually cycling new movies into their library, and I have never been left wanting ever since I subscribed (I think it's $11 a month?) last May.

Makes me nervous about Bernie Bros who say they'll stay home in November if he doesn't get the nomination. I don't get that logic. Apparently, there were an un-insignificant amount of Bernie Supporters who voted for Trump. I can't get my mind around that kind of decision making. I can see Biden getting some moderate Republican votes. He's about as middle of the road as one can get. My mother-in-law was going to vote for Bloomberg for this upcoming Illinois primary. She didn't really like him, but thought he had a good chance of beating Trump. I think that "beating Trump" is driving a l

Sanders is "only" in his 3rd term as Senator. But - he was in the House for 8 terms. (1991-2006). But, your point stands. Old white guys.

Elizabeth Warren just dropped out. Does that just leave Bernie and Biden? Or are there still fringe candidates like Tulsi Gabbard?

The only thing screwing Bernie so far is that the young voters who love him aren't showing up at the primary polls. Geezers vote. Kids don't. That's been true for the 30+ years I've been able to vote. I haven't always voted in primaries, but I've never missed a general election.

Is he saying that he took a dive to come back as a force ghost?

Well Bloomberg just dropped out. Hope the $500+ millions he spent on his campaign was worth it. Oh wait, he's worth $60+ billion. The amount he spent on his campaign is less than 1% of his net worth.

My 7 year old recently discovered them (following short-lived obsessions with Beck and Gorillaz) and loves them. When I was 7 I was really into KISS. I would argue there's a parallel there.

I like the response, but what exactly was the Bloomberg campaign thinking when they tweeted?

That'd be a nice ticket.

Looks like Romney's considering a run in 2024.

Well seriously, fuck Bolton. He's had all the time in the world to come forward and act upon any remaining integrity he might have. He could have said something when it happened. He could have said something when the whistle blower's report came out. He could have said something after he was fired. He could have testified in front of the House. He didn't. And, he's got a book to sell.

This is the first time that I've noticed that the Dave's pick isn't sold out almost immediately. It's been for sale for a week now, and it's still not sold out. Seems like previous versions have been sold out within hours - so, they've either upped their production numbers, or people are stepping out.

Depending on where you clock their beginnings, Los Lobos were together for 14 years before hitting #1 with their cover of La Bamba - their only hit.

Wow, nice shot. If we're going by top 10, then Evil Ways and Black magic woman both would qualify... But yeah - they had 2 #1s in a row in 1999.

Yeah, the Dead are the only ones that immediately sprang to mind...
