Sir Stewart

I used to hate Journey until my friend noted that all Steve Perry wants is to be Sam Cooke.

80s it was.

A friend of mine worked at the Borders Books & Music in Boston when Jon Anderson made an appearance to sign (a book? I dunno) and do a couple of songs. He told Brian (a huge Yes fan) he wanted to do Heart of the Sunrise but said he couldn't remember all the words, so Brian transcribed the lyrics from his head and Jon sang with the sheet in front of him.

Not to mention their video game.

Hey Beltmann.

His use of "term(s)" in that tweet is the most egregious example of humility he's expressed since becoming a candidate.

Calm down.

This is more audio imagery of trains than a direct reference, but Prince: https://youtu.be/FCwbcpuXs7g Beasties jumpin turnstiles and generally wilding: https://youtu.be/pRA9gnQyz40 Also can't forget Humpty's crew: https://youtu.be/paLQo9qmLmU

I didn't hear it first, but I knew and loved U2's take on "Christmas Baby Please Come Home" before finally falling in love with Darlene Love's superior version. Still love both, but hers is the best Christmas record of all.

One After 909

A bit of a mindblower right?

Goddamnit, the flow of terrible news this godforsaken year has to offer just keeps rushing on.

Great job Zimmy.

On the radio today I heard the president-elect talking to reporters about a general he's considering for a position, and he said "he's great, a really great guy. Just a great guy" and it took the wind out of me, the realization that on top of everything else, I have to listen to this dumb motherfucker talk like that for the next four fucking years.

Does Seven League Boots count?

Yup, Lammy said it right. No one other than Red Sox fans have rooted for the Red Sox since 2004, and now the same will be true of the Cubs.

Sounds cool, nice. Interesting I don't think I've ever seen that cover pic (or recognize the session).

Ah, I see. Wondered if maybe legality brought with it an unsavory scene. Lammy I'll vote Yez, I'm sure. Just the factors of weed being controlled by big business as a result and the fact that cartels are supplying the States with cheaper deadlier heroin as a result of losing the weed black market.

He's so damn good at being Dylan isn't he.

What type of decay? Have neighborhoods with pot shops seen a spike in theft/assaults? We have recreational on the state ballot here (Maine) and I have been less than 100% sold on the idea.

Yeah fuck them.

Yeah was dreadful. Curt, you fucking loser. I don't think this was posted here - saw it via cryptique on FB. Probably the most insightful thinkpiece I've read this season and it's from Cracked: http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-trumps-rise-that-no-one-talks-about/

When I hear the ridiculous support coming from Trump surrogates regarding his predatory sexual nature, or even the shocked and disillusioned statements from GOP members withdrawing their support, all I can think is: but... nearly a year ago he said he's going to stop anyone who practices a particular religion from entering the country. How was that not the final straw?
