I don’t know how I feel Rush going back out on tour. The announcement and joy of playing music is sincere, but it still feels off. youtu.be/koiX_Wspatw?...

Still in my sci fi phase. I’m nearing the end of the most recent Bobiverse book (Not Til We Are Lost) from Dennis E Taylor. I have enjoyed all five books. Read most, but did the last two via audiobook with the incomparable Ray Porter performing

Went to my first small, local music show in a long time last night. It was a 4 band tribute to The Clash. It gave me lots of fun memories and things to think about. I need to do that more.

When Jimmy John’s closes for a water main break while you’re there…

Finding it hard to make this kind of social media a routine or destination in my daily life again.

Nothing gets this family excited about a Star Wars product tie-in with Chewy like… Wheat Thins

I have other words to whomever caused this needless hotel evacuation

Not sure if it’s your cup of tea, but the experience of going to the Indy 500
Is truly unlike anything else.

Didn’t even know this was a thing.

I thought the Rolling Stone best guitarists list was bad. But nowhere near as bad as SPIN. It really reinforces how the music press can’t get over their own favorites to recognize the true landscape and history of any given topic. Not gonna bother with the links.

Going to see Living Colour tonight! It’ll be my 8th time in 6 different cities for me in the past 36 years. @vurnt22.bsky.social @willcalhoun.bsky.social @dougwimbish.bsky.social

Basic idea I’ll be trying to reinforce in my kids: “Never trust someone who is unkind to those who can do nothing for him,” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Went out to dinner spur of the moment on what happened to be 80’s trivia night. Got second place and a gift card. So many John Hughes questions. Should have had at least one Kilmer question.

Checking out. Local drum shop with the kiddos and saw one of my favorite drummers, the great @willcalhoun.bsky.social had been there. Junk Rock Drums in Fort Washington.

Val Kilmer, Actor Revered for Playing Batman and Jim Morrison, Dies at 65 — The Hollywood Reporter Charismatic and versatile, he also won praise for memorable roles as Iceman in 'Top Gun' and Doc Holliday in 'Tombstone,' but his unpredictable behavior ruffled some feathers in Hollywood.

Val Kilmer was my first favorite actor. Chris Knight and Nick Rivers still entertain me endlessly. Rest in peace. apple.news/AVaDvZz06ShS...

No Other Land director Hamdan Ballal "lynched" and abducted, says co-director No Other Land director Hamdan Ballal "lynched" and abducted, says co-director

Very saddened to hear this. Their Oscar speech gave a face to cooperation and hope. www.avclub.com/no-other-lan...

Rewatching Aquaman for the first time since it was new. Wow. It’s not holding up, even in the first 15 minutes.

Aren’t Pi day cookies missing the point?

I recommend the Sly Stone doc on Hulu by Questlove. He was so ahead of his time. Thanks for the insight @vurnt22.bsky.social

I’m not sure who at HULU thought the academy awards would end on time. That would be almost as miraculous than reason from our politicians.

I’ve been reading too many sci-fi, future space travel / colonization books of late. Not complaining, but they’re starting to run together. Currently blazing through Mickey 7 before I hopefully see the movie.

Good news in the world

Having a family camp out in the living room thanks to a power outage. I hope everyone is warm and safe.

“I cannot play guitar. It feels like I am wearing a pair of gloves when I try”: Brian Setzer can’t play guitar due to autoimmune disease The Stray Cats guitar icon says he first experienced hand cramps while on tour last year, but remains defiant despite the diagnosis

Hearing that Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats can’t play guitar was not the kind of news I want. He blew me away so often with his sound and ability. Here’s to a recovery. www.guitarworld.com/artists/guit...

Eagles win the Super Bowl and RING alerts are useless.

I stopped following football many moons ago, but it’s exciting to be in Philly. It’s so unified here, and that is so nice so see.

Why wasn’t this the twist in Conclave?

Everyone else here has fallen off the Wordle bandwagon. I stuck it out to 1000 played the other day, but I’m not sure it’ll be a daily thing anymore…

One of my favorite coffee delivery methods is a must today. Happy Groundhog Day!

Lurking is fun… But I need to be a bit more proactive online. Like I used to be. It’s a goal for myself.
