This song is important in musical history. From listening to it, can you guess why?

60 years ago, Billboard #8 for the week of Nov. 19, 1962: He's A Rebel - The Crystals https://youtu.be/aF7V2dSvxpo

It was produced by Phil Spector. It wasn't his first number 1 hit--that was "To Know Him is to Love Him" in 1958. (Yes, that's Spector on the guitar.) https://youtu.be/sV718cKqJLw

From the very top of Lamar Canyon, this area is one of my favorite hikes. There's everything up here, wolves, bears, elk, bison, mountain lions. It's always a great hike. In the distance you can see Slough Creek and beyond that to the right Electric Peak.

The captains of 10 European football teams wanted to wear a rainbow “one love” armband at the World Cup. Fifa threatened with fines, yellow card, even excluding players.

Hung jury on the two really big counts:

1) aiding and abetting in the theft of a laptop from Pelosi’s office

2) obstruction of Congress’ Jan. 6 proceeding

That second count has a 20 year max sentence.

This morning I had to help a family (ma, pa & 3 kids) get their fancy Benz out of the ditch they had (gently) parked it in... Why had they ended up there?
Because the stupid fucks still had summer tires on...

Ode to Not Watching the World Cup: This is an event of such astoundingly obvious wrongness that doing the right thing is easy. https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2022/11/dont-watch-world-cup-morally-wrong-qatar/672192/
