I've had several mornings the last few weeks where the first thing my toddler says when I wake him up in the morning is "I'm a garbage truck! BEEP BEEP BEEP!"

Also funding for the highway to hell project has been cut since it was located in a blue state

The Worm doing β€œThen Slowly Turn” or β€œBe First!” would be astonishing

Isn't "filmmaker with no visual skill...but an idea" a producer?

Ha, I'd remembered him talking about Spokane being the first place they played "Rockin' In The Free World" and people FREAKING OUT then going into "Albuquerque" but it's actually "World On A String", but you can still he pulled one on most of the crowd

Neil Young-4-11-1999-Spokane Opera House, Spokane, WA (Live Audio)
YouTube video by Jim Rinehart -Were You There? Neil Young-4-11-1999-Spokane Opera House, Spokane, WA (Live Audio)

Oh hey, finally searched and found a recording of the first time I saw Neil live in 1999. Crowd is about as loud and raucous as I remembered (and I don't think the crowd when I saw him solo in Chicago in 2014 was hooting and hollering nearly as much)

Oh yeah, Ramones toured themselves into the ground, and I'm sure they weren't taking care of their health during that period. I mean, KISS likely weren't either but yeah they had $$$ to chill if they wanted

Honestly still semi shocked that every original member of KISS outlived every original Ramone

Nicknames for pets, sure. Grandparent nicknames was just something I was completely unaware of growing up

My MIL refused to be called anything other than "grandma" once our dude was born. I don't remember anyone growing up have nicknames for their grandparents, and I kinda question if it's much of a west coast thing

Why even have a band playing when there's a TON of backing tracks going on????

Felt extra β€œthat guy” when I could tell they were gonna play β€œBar Ice” just based on stick clicks and the first syllable

Was curious as well about the new LP and Strat (also saying last night was great feels like an understatement)

100% I would be a worse person if I hadn't discovered punk rock when I was a kid, and much less confident if I hadn't done theater all through high school
