I came up with a list of about 8 possibilities. '80 was a great year, and I was super into music then.

So glad to have Henry Cordes back on the beat, in part because Jim Pillen surely isn't.

Favorite factoid: The LP version used the lyric "come to me, baby" because the single's "come with me, baby" was considered too risque.

This account is a Jerry Kennedy appreciation feed for the week. Nashville giant died this weekend. One of 4 guitarists on this classic, & apparently it's Billy Sanford who plays that opening riff. Meantime, Roy comes off as a calves-obsessed stalker.

AOC said ”um”

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19… (one of my favorite years, hard to choose, but this is one I still cue up every year or so)

Are you adequately prepared to rock? RIP, Jerry Kennedy, a giant influence on the Nashville music scene of the 1960s and '70s. That's him on a mean dobro on this stone cold Tom T. Hall classic. youtube.com/watch?v=o_sfYqVzUZU&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2F&source_ve_path=Mjg2NjY

Jim Pillen has no more business telling public schools who to hire than he had telling the Athletic Department who to hire. At least he's consistent, I guess.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

A universe where Dana Altman and Chip Kelly are coaching at Nebraska feels like a dream you'd awake from after consuming cinnamon rolls drenched in red Kool-Aid.

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?

Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

can you imagine how fucking annoying it would be to be the like. 12th best person in the world at ski jumping. like you can’t STOP going to the competitions right? but you’re going to get 12th. your mom flew there

Are you adequately prepared to rock? Happy Presidents' Day. youtu.be/oc3xTj3g9QQ?...

Missing World-Herald book division cuz if ever a saga needs comic-book treatment it's Moos era: Matt Haney depictions of sweats-clad, unshaven Frost interviewing for most important job of his life, Kendra yelling at employees & most of all, Moos skulking from bar to hotel room with hidden booze.

NBC is really committed to running “Snoop is at the Olympics” as firmly into the ground as possible, huh.

Likely every recent Nebraska governor except Kerrey would have same positions on DEI & LGBTQ+ issues as current occupant, but Pillen's open, enthusiastic, vile hatred is something else. Never misses an opportunity to punch down, to be crude, to belittle. Just a thoroughgoing mean asshole.

Gov. Pillen is so anti-woke he's in a fuckin' coma.

At least he didn't write a book about us.

It'll take some hair/makeup work, but only Julia Louis-Dreyfus can plays unhinged enough to be Bondi in the HBO series. And if she insists on creating a Bondi "Little Kicks" dance for Mar-a-Lago, let her have that. Pam's performance yesterday was pretty much a full body dry heave set to testimony.

This is 2nd recent Husker AD who pursued a literary path after leaving here. Haven't read either, but as I understand, the hero of Steve Pederson's book is a head football coach, while one of the villains of Moos's is a head football coach. Not sure what that means. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Of course Ricketts has been mistaken for worse, though not by much.

Oh, and If Dan Osborn doesn't use "Sorry, I'm Pete Ricketts from Nebraska" in an ad, I guess he doesn't really want to win.

The writers are just fucking with us now.

Getting ready to retire. May offer my ghostwriting services to all.

From Shatel column:

NU tell-alls from Pederson & Eichorst?! I'm in.

Also: New understated Nebraska Nice way of calling someone a d-bag? Moos misspells Pillen's name throughout & Shatel misspells Pederson's (since corrected). Kinda like it. Maybe Eichorst book will share thoughts about Beau?

Are you adequately prepared to rock? New 4-song EP from Al Green. He covers the Bee Gees, Lou Reed (twice!) and, here, R.E.M. Just lovely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEwP...

100-year-old pipe, my ass. I think we all assumed 40th and Normal would be the site of the next Hellmouth in #LNK.

"That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done." 2/2

Kacey Musgraves, country music goddess: “I can't think of anything more American than coming from being a bagger at a grocery store to performing at the Super Bowl halftime show ... It was beautiful. It was emotional. It was intentional. It was inclusive. It was what was needed for this moment. 1/2

Would you accept a compromise, Mr. President? Station Stephen Miller there as a troll to let only people who can recite ‘Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’ pass. Or recite the land speed of a West African giraffe?
