  1. So glad I had to catch three of their shows over the last couple of years before they called it a day. I'd been waiting for nearly 20 years to see them live, and they didn't disappoint. Great guys, too. I chatted with each of them after their show in NOLA last year just before the coronapocalypse. I wish them the best.
  2. Wishing you strength and plenty of rest before and after your chemo treatment. Today I did nothing. Literally nothing. Well, I showered. I just ordered Indian food for delivery tonight. I'll probably just watch TV or a movie.
  3. Absolutely beautiful. I cried like a baby.
  4. This documentary about the distribution of wealth in the world is currently streaming on Netflix. I'm no economic scholar, but I did learn a thing or two from watching it.
  5. In just a few hours, fittingly, he'll just be "Florida man."
  6. I'll be celebrating while wearing my Joe Biden socks and perhaps a campaign button. And I'll be breathing a huge sigh of relief that a certain delusional narcissist no longer has valid nuclear codes. Since I'm working from home I may mix myself a stiff drink while following the inauguration ceremony on TV.
  7. There's a signifiant chance that someone will discover me dead beneath a ginormous pile of books some day. Death by books doesn't seem like a bad way to go.
  8. Thanks so much for sharing and for this particular episode. Dale Murphy was my boyhood hero. I discovered him, the Atlanta Braves, and baseball when my family got cable in 1982. I've had the pleasure of meeting him several times, and he's such a great, genuine guy. On the last occasion I had to meet him, I started our conversation by asking him to name his favorite Wilco album. He was so surprised and delighted by my question that we talked for about ten minutes about music. This episode was a real treat. Listening to my sports idol thoughtfully break down an album by one of my all-time favori
  9. I discovered Snail Mail by accident last night. One of her songs was playing on satellite radio during my weekly grocery store excursion. It was impressive enough that I listened to Lush last night. Count me as a fan now.
  10. Well said, Donna. Happy New Year to you and to all VC'ers.
  11. Meh. I nearly turned off the move after the first hour and in hindsight I kinda wish I would have. It just didn't do anything for me. .
  12. Just finished watching this film and enjoyed it tremendously. Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman were incredible. Lagniappe: The Ma Rainey House and Museum in Columbus, Georgia is open for tours. Its curator is Fred Fussell, the father of Solid Sound alumnus and opener for several Wilco shows, Jake Xerxes Fussell.
  13. The holidays aren't as warm and fuzzy for me as they once were. Most of the people in my family who made it special are dead. That includes my dad, whose birthday is Dec. 23 (which serves as a strong reminder of his absence). The pandemic certainly doesn't help. So I'm working a good bit and reading, listening to podcasts and watching movies during my down time. Given all of those factors I've still been in a mostly upbeat mood and listening to Christmas music a good bit. As the big day approaches, however, the whole holiday season thing is getting a little more depressing. No big gift wishes
