Nirvana’s “Nevermind” turns 35 today — an album the band almost titled “Sheep”, referring to people who follow the herd. “Dreaming of the person you want to be,” Cobain said, “is wasting the person you already are.” “Come As You Are” 🎸

Blues Traveler’s iconic album, “Four”, turns 32 today. The Grammy-winning single “Runaround” was “an unrequited love song” about lead singer John Popper “and our original bass player, Felicia, who he kind of had a crush on,” said guitarist Chan Kinchla. 💔

Top of the charts today in 1969: “Honky Tonk Women” — the western riff that Jagger and Richards wrote while on vacation at a Brazilian ranch, watching the cowboys work. It can be “a bastard to play,” Richards once said. But “when it's right, it's really right.”

You may have seen the important piece in the NYT about the nightmare Kansas is subjecting trans people to. A few months ago, we reported on one aspect of what’s happening: voting is a lot harder now for trans Kansans, who have to jump through what’s effectively a poll tax:

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

“Appetite for Destruction” hits #1 38 yrs ago today — the best-selling debut LP of all time. “There was a lot of craziness and partying going on,” said Slash, “all of the stuff that comes with being a rock ‘n’ roll band that has no idea where it’s going. .. I wouldn’t have missed a minute of it.”

I'm not normally the sort of person who'd watch a "superhero" show like The Boys, but several 20-somethings in my life insisted that it was a brilliant political allegory that I had to watch and well...they were right. I've only gotten through the first 3.5 seasons, so no spoilers!

Introverts find joy in the simplest moments. Curling up with a good book, savoring a cup of tea, enjoying the quiet, daydreaming by the window, and peaceful walks. These little things bring peace and fulfillment. It's the beauty in the ordinary that truly matters

Prince releases “Sexy M.F.” 34 years ago today. “.. It was recorded in about 20 minutes,” said keyboardist Tommy Barbarella. “I hated my organ solo on it; I wanted to make it better and fix it. But Prince was like, ‘No, it’s fine; just leave it.’ He wanted that spontaneity with that band.”
