I’m shocked he’s 30 because « Hayden Hodgson » sounds like the most 19-year-old name I’ve ever seen (okay, maybe « Haeden »).

I didn’t know that Mike Ditka once look like he sang the high harmony in the Association or another sunshine pop group.

I kind of wish these guys would’ve listened to Son Volt’s « Route », especially the lines « And it's here for now, transient tomorrow/We're all living proof that nothing lasts. »

There’s a bonus track on the new edition of Paul McCartney’s last album that is probably the closest thing to « Hope of Deliverance » that he’s recorded since the 1990s (complimentary). youtu.be/FJ-B6eZ2IKc?...

I’m glad the lyric video was there to clarify that, yes, this is indeed the extremely questionable line that I just heard.

I think it’s also been *extremely* helpful to have someone with these views AND a background in investigative documentary filmmaking, because he gets how to make a case with both journalistic rigor and compelling storytelling—which isn’t always/often a given.

I can’t quite my finger on why that is but I generally tend to find that there’s something a bit smarmy and unpleasant about Kyle Gordon’s comedy songs—and yet I’ll be damned if I haven’t been getting that « Mr. Jambo » Paul Simon parody stuck in my head almost daily for weeks now.

I would love to know what poll on Earth 2 the GOP & the Collins campaign are using in this fundraising email to suggest Collins and Ossoff are « neck-and-neck ».
A fundraising email from Mike Collins with the subject line « Ossoff’s California friends are panicking » and a bar graph showing Ossoff and Collins both a hair under 50% (no poll in the real world has had them this close).

To add another layer and bring it full circle (since the initial song mentions Iggy), I once watched the Hip’s Gord Downie (R.I.P.) and the Sadies (R.I.P. Dallas) cover « Search and Destroy » at the Horseshoe. youtu.be/0S7dzxzgQoc?...

I was looking up old videos and had forgotten how vocal Sheryl Crow was during the leadup to the war in Iraq. And also how these were different times for Kid Rock. This is at the 2003 Grammys, where Crow sang « You’re An Original » wearing a huge peace sign medallion and a « NO WAR » guitar strap.
