It’s a ripper!
She looks so much like Hedy. Except for being twice as big…
😀
One of my all time faves. I can’t refund the video I linked to, which is a shame. It had a camera right over his shoulder which was amazing to watch.
I wonder if skipping words like “been” is also a sign of genius? 🤷♂️
The links are dead, but I wrote something very similar here (though I never seemed to turn my innovation mob into Hersh fans…):

We must have some kind of unrecognised geniuses!
True. And I grabbed Double Nickels next.

First time I ever heard this version was when some guy played it on the bachelor/ette party radio show the night before my wedding…

That sounds like the right choice! It’s hard for me to do that too, though.
It’s probably a moot point by now, but that book should be dropped! An additional problem with books like that is that I read them more slowly than usual, so not only am I stuck in a bad book, but it takes me longer than usual to get to the next better book.
I drop a lot (or at least pause them) <40 pages in, but if I go past that, I really struggle to stop, even if they’re bad…
This is very excellent.
Or even if you see “this”! 🙄
If you see thus, post a fictional band that you would love to see live.

The Saints were epic!

“Catastrophic fire erases what was there before. So does forgetting. Memory is a resource for facing the future; it’s equipment for imagining, planning, preparing.”
@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social pin-sharp and bang-on as always.
Andrew is one of the best writers around, and his newsletter is well worth a subscription.
