So what you're saying is ... I should watch Gladiator 2? πŸ€”

Good point though. And, well, it's Michael Mann.

As much as I love the greatness that is Heat ("Give me all you got!"), this is me feeling the heat around the corner for Heat 2.

You have intrinsic value. I've met you. I know. Productivity is irrelevant to this.

Figure skating is perhaps the most beautiful sport on earth. Maybe that will bring some light in.

At times like these, this song helps: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbN0...

Play it loud. Go where it takes you.

Hugs.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing β€œHey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

18. I used postcards in 2010-13 when my wife lived in LA (film school) & I lived in DC (work). When I traveled for work, I wrote her postcards about things I saw that made me think of her. (She's Brazilian, loves travel, is a "citizen of the world.") We moved to Europe in 2014, & she saw it all.

This episode detonated idea bombs in my head. I discovered the podcast 2-3 months ago, and it's great.

And also this, entirely too prevalent these days:

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Put the tips of your fingers
On a baby man;
Teach him to be beautiful.
To hell with power and hate and war

His name is Mike D and he gets respect. Your cash and your jewelry are what he expects.

Another guy's name is MCA, and he's got a license to kill. He thinks you know what time it is: It's time to get ill.

And Ad-Rock, that's his name, he knows the fly spot to get the champagne.

Great post, great thoughts. We've also been told every story has already been written & everything else is derivative, all the great rock bands have already come & gone, & everything that will be done has been done before. Nonsense. The constellation of possibilities is limited only by imagination.
