Is “snowdemic” a thing? Did I just invent a word? Was thinking maybe we Okies will be snowed in for so long that we can self-isolate and end this Flu A thing.

I’ve been able to travel the world. The only two things the USA got absolutely fucking right are:

1. We have the best indoor AC in the world.
2. Airport check in counters. It’s not complicated. Most of the world can’t figure them out. We have good airport check in counters.

Anyone remember when malls had pet stores?

Bob Dylan rehearsing “We Are the World”. A favorite to lift our spirits in dressing rooms when the mood is low. I can quote verbatim every single thing Quincy says to Bob.

Billy Corgan “Strayz” A mostly forgotten song that you can’t even find on the usual streaming services. WPC at his most vulnerable and regretful against a minimalist ambient accompaniment. “You know I’m true”

The Lips “Suddenly Everything..” live on the Weezer tour. My favorite version of the band (since I’ve joined) playing this haunting, existential piece of music in basketball arenas across the continent. Am I allowed to feel pride?

The Cure “Alone” (live). We had to wait two years to hear the recorded version after they debuted it live. How do The Cure songs keep getting sadder? I suppose because Robert, always so sensitive to aging, is truly now….old and finally “looking back at it all”

Future Islands’ first time on Letterman. Samuel’s performance…singing then growling then thumping his chest yet you still just want to hug him. Made even more perfect by Letterman’s closing line “I’ll take all of that you got!”

Happy 37th anniversary of the Max Headroom Incident, to those who celebrate.

Much of what we call personality is not a fixed set of traits, only coping mechanisms a person acquired in childhood.

I saw a new Christine McVie book I’d like to read.. Started pondering what LP was peak Christine..

It’s Tusk.
Brown Eyes
Over & Over
Think About Me
Honey Hi
Never Forget

Sweetly singing “the stars must be my friends to shine for me” & “we will never forget” she ended a freewheeling LP with peace.

I asked my 12yo daughter if something was “fire.” She quickly got embarrassed and said “Don’t ever say that again. That’s so not cool. People in the 90’s said that”

My favorite Radiohead song is Kid A because I don’t have to hear his voice.
