Just for the record, I am anti firing squad and anti televising or livestreaming such a brutal event. I cry for my country.

United 3 - 0 Sabah An interesting first half. United struggled to find a way through the Sabah defending, but as the half went on and the Sabah players tired the goals followed.

So sorry to lose the amazing, legendary Gloria Steinem. We worked together on women’s issues for decades! Such a huge loss for us all, and the many younger women who may not know the debt they owe her for her groundbreaking work. #RIPoriaSteinem

Sad to learn the death of drummer Frank Beard - yes, he was the only ZZ Top member w/out hair on his chin. I always thought his playing on "La Grange" was a masterclass in playing a blues rock shuffle and playing licks which sound complicated but really aren't. CHECK IT: loom.ly/sLnLfXE
