@99reasons4truth When our daughter was in High School, the one that came through the neighborhood would only play "Turkey in the Straw." Tune gives her the heebie-jeebies to this day...

What's getting lost in all the handwringing, when it should be even clearer, is the importance of every single race,
all
the
way
down

Dear self-proclaimed cultural commetator: The New York Times stopped reflecting the public's attitude quite some time ago.

Oh, and no, Spotify is not my friend.

@stratkitten Anytime is great for Joan...

As I continue to grow up (sort of), the importance of soft hands on the guitar continues to reveal itself....

Sweet dreams, 'nauts ~

@hbgphotoguy Media ownership driving what's left of the press. Open question is, who's still buying their narrative?

Apparently, I'm standing for lunch...

@Coctaanatis argh, now they're just running in circles trying out-Chicken-Little each other...

@AlphaCentauri I'm sure the reality will be parceling out selected prooftexts, but it would be poetic justice if they just handed out the full chunk (NIV, no doubt) and V's scenario came to pass...

Late Guitar Nerdery moment:
Boss MO-2 + JHS Harmonic Tremolo gives a right fair approximation of the sound of Black Hole Sun (add a Rat for the chorus). (For those of us without room or budget for a Leslie....)
Good night!!

@mcfate Tell NPR...

@DavidSalo I am hearing this in Firesign Theater voices..."Sheriff Axehandle here with an update..."

Okay, so after a deep breath or two, it feels like part of the hair on fire reaction to the debate is due to the ridiculous amount of screaming buildup. If for two weeks prior we can't escape the hype over the thing, an overreaction is inevitable. Now, mighty efforts will have to be applied to shift the focus back where it should be.

@Bix ...well, to be that Old Poot -- I gotta believe an intentional gutting of "civics" is having its desired effect. Having witnessed what my kids, and then grandkids, weren't or aren't taught about government vs when I was kid and had to pass a constitution test to get out of 8th grade in a State (Az) where it would be a safe bet that none of the current GOP electeds would have gotten through...

For your morning coffee -
into the fray, 'nauts!

Tiny fragment of rant to come: Spotify expects creators to monitor playlists and report suspicious activity. That should not be the artists' job any more than it was Elvis' job to investigate payola.
