The Inside of Outside

Don't forget about the boost to the economy from more gun sales and more fortifying. It's a no-brainer: 2nd Amendment secured, schools are "safe", more guns in circulation, kids growing up surrounded by adults with guns which may make the next generations pro-gun, an increase in school spending, a boost to gun manufacturers, a boost to the economy. Why didn't we think of this before? Win-win-win-win-win-win-win! I am so sick of winning. My wife and I had our first real conversation today about moving to Canada. Not because Trump is President, but because there are so many idiots in the US,

I know, right? Total cop-out alert: I was about to buy them for my wife's birthday. She would have liked the show, at 1983 prices. But, alas, I came to my senses.

Thanks for sharing both of those. I love that Robert Plant has continued to make meaningful music (unlike Mr. Jagger and Mr. Townsend).

Radiohead is one of the few acts I think I would pay to go see at a large venue. Not many of those left for me (McCartney, RHCP, maybe a few others). I did almost pull the trigger on Foreigner/Whitesnake/Jason Bonham tickets at a shed recently, but only because they were $11.25 each. $11.25 made it feel like 1983 all over again. Those darn fees, which doubled the ticket price, stopped me in my tracks. The fees made it feel like 2018 all over again.

JD for 5 years/$110 million. Opt out for him could cut that down considerably. Not a bad deal for the Red Sox; if he opts out after 2 years and $50 million, then he probably delivered the goods those first two years. Better than Panda, who is still on the books for $37.2 million total over the 2018 and 2019 seasons and a $5 million buyout in 2020. Or HanRam, who will get over $22 million this year, or Price, who gets $30 million.

Bingo. Does this guy (who was trying to do a good deed by taking the kid in, mind you) get it that he comes off as an idiot in this interview?

As a Red Sox fan, I am hoping that they do not sign JD Martinez for more than 5 years/110 million. I'd be happiest with not signing him at all.

It was a good read. I did not know much about the subject before reading it. The town of Wolfville, NS plays a role in the book. I see that Jeff is set to play there on his upcoming solo tour. Population: 4,100.

I am not going to make the 2 hour trek to Boston to see Destroyer this week, but my two neighbors are. Agree - can't figure out why they are not more popular.

Hilarious.

How can you not smile at that picture?

I generally like his stuff across all his bands. Not digging this new song at all, though.

Thank you!

That is some funny lawyer writing alright. Hilarious!

That very stable genius t-shirt is pure genius. I want one.

I voted as well. That is a classic record. Worth it just to hear Radio King on vinyl.

That was a pretty mind-boggling collapse by the Chiefs. They just cannot tackle.

We made it through without losing power yesterday, which was my one hope. Got a foot of snow here just north of Portland. Some good wind gusts, too. Other than my fear of losing power/heat, it felt like a pretty regular, good-size winter storm in Maine. Zero degrees right now, with a wind chill of -17. That seems worse to me than yesterday's Bombogenesis.

Any thoughts about which weekend they will choose for SS 2019? June 21-23? June 28-30? Would they go as early as June 14-16? Or back to an August date like the first SS? I don't foresee a move to another summer month, given all that goes on in the Berkshires in July/August. I am hoping for the June 21-23 or 28-30.
