Someone slaps the Beatles and convinces them Alan Klein and the Eastmans are both terrible choices for manager and gets them a third option; they stay together another 5-10 years, have less of a creative decline than they did as individuals, and the 70s are completely different, musically.

I’d watch that movie with popcorn

Death of d boon, 1984

World would be a completely different place if d were still with us

In the 70s & 80s I had a tape recorder that fit in a small tampax box. Security never touched it. Opened the bag, saw the box, waved me through before they got cooties

Not metaphorically. Literally. Femicide is an American pastime that never fell out of fashion, but the dehumanizing media that's going to proliferate in this era is rooted in the 1980's and 90's when male rage about women's lib was seen as normal and understandable. This will be worse

That makes sense

On WOW

Amazing! Where did you run into this??

I once showed up at met life with a subway sandwich in a subway bag - clear but with subway logos and was told I had to take it out of the bag

Some of you first met me in my baseball writing days and I can assure you I gave this a LOT of thought youtu.be/1nrvU5mX7MI

Americans are not at all ready for the full scale mainstreaming of literal fascists now that media has been retooled as a weapon of anti democracy and fascist consolidation.

The fascist machinery will fire anyone critical of the fascist takeover and boost those who are willing to capitulate.

the PBS / NPR stations are asking for your fiscal support. if you do not have that to give, advocate for their survival instead of dreaming of their premature defeat.

Yes I rewatched masked & anonymous last night. It’s on YouTube free with ads

A book titled David Bowie Rainbow Man by Jerome Soligny

This is the book. For $7 I didn’t spend a lot of time flipping through it but the blurbs were sufficiently impressive, Iggy is not giving a lot of book blurbs

...wanted to make sure that I knew that the fact that it said 1967-1980 on the cover didn't mean that Bowie died in 1980, & I said, oh, I understand, & she kept gushing about how much she loved Bowie & I showed her my blackstar tattoo & she told me she had a Ziggy Stardust poster next to her bed 😍

i went into a discount store last night in the burbs to try to find some of those ice pack things for coolers & they didn't have any but their book section can often turn up deals on remaindered music books & i picked up this huge Bowie book on a whim & the young woman at the cash register 1/

The level of collaboration required to keep men centered in every cultural narrative is stunning.

Being a woman in the U.S. in 2025 is being a second-class citizen with no bodily autonomy and no pay equity and spending 10 years writing an essay about how casually men destroy women’s lives and not one day later, some fucker publishes a piece about how men not getting laid is a crisis

Notebook Dump: Tracks II: The Lost Albums SPOILER ALERT. Including inside jokes, ridiculous trivia, and side quests!

"I wish he had just released them! just release them digitally! we could have been enjoying all of this music for the past 30 years. they could have grown, evolved, been part of an E Street setlist, become fan favorites. " - edited thoughts on Springsteen's TRACKS II:

“This may well have been the earliest Springsteen show where hardcore fans in the northeast converged because it was the first chance to see him in months.” About the first show of the BORN TO RUN tour (and Miami Steve's first E Street Band appearance): www.radio-nowhere.com/bruce-spring...

All true as far as I remember. Although not sure it was “the Stones plane” (a bit of a blur)
