sometimes I wonder if Penny ever remembers being a stray. she’s been a pampered indoor cat for 14 years now so it’s unlikely, but the way she occasionally reacts to the sound of raccoons outside… did you beef with them in your past, little creature, what adventures did you have back then

There's a podcast in which one guy unsuccessfully tries to get another guy to like Phish. It only lasted 8 episodes. I can't count the number of times I've listened to it. It would be in my top 5 podcasts of all time. And I don't even like Phish

the lesson to be learned here is that when you let artists and creatives cook, instead of doing everything possible to increase shareholder returns, you get creative art that becomes immortal and inspires everyone!! you will always fall short when you don't trust the artists to do what they do best

“John told me that Paul was the only musician who could scare him into writing great songs, and vice versa.” (source: www.tumblr.com/get-back-hom...)
We were driving past a vast shopping mall, near Walt Whitman's birthplace, when a familiar voice boomed over the four speakers.
"Fuck a pig!" John shouted. "It's Paul!"
Indeed, it was Paul McCartney's new hit single, "Coming Up," a catchy tune built around a repetitive staccato riff. John frowned, turned up the volume, and began to nod to the beat.
"Not bad," he said at the end of the song, sounding surprised and even somewhat disappointed. When the announcer mentioned that Paul played all the instruments himself, John mumbled something to the effect that it made perfect sense because Paul had always wanted to be a one-man band. John turned down the volume again and fell silent for a while. Then he asked me to get him a copy of Paul's new album and to set up a stereo system in his bedroom. I had a hi-fi system sent from New York by limousine that same day, and I had no trouble finding Paul's record, McCartney Il, in a local music store.
I also added Paul's new release to the tape collection I kept in the glove compartment of the car. I knew that John would sooner or later shed his reluctance to listen to my tapes, and I wanted, when the time came, to have plenty of new music for him to be inspired by. Ever since I had gone to work for John more than a year ago, I had secretly hoped that he would rouse himself from his deep inertia and once again astonish the world with his songs.
The next day at breakfast, John hummed the melody of Paul's new single, which he said he could not get out of his head. "It's driving me crackers!" he exclaimed cheerfully. He said the album was uneven, but he acknowledged that it was an unusually adventurous effort by Paul, and far superior to his previous release, Back to the Egg, whichCold Spring Harbor
123

John had dismissed as "garbage." He gave Paul credit for trying his hand at something new.
I realized that after years of lying dormant, John's competitive nature had been aroused again. As long as Paul kept churning out mediocre "product," John felt justified in keeping his own muse on a shelf.
But if Paul was writing decent music, then John felt compelled to take up Paul's challenge. It was a conditioned reflex, nurtured during years of friendly (and later fierce) rivalry in the Beatles. John told me that Paul was the only musician who could scare him into writing great songs, and vice versa. That was the nature of John and Paul's rela-tionship: creative sibling rivalry.
In a startling turnaround, John asked me to bring him up to date on the new music scene. During the next few days we cruised around Long Island's North Shore listening to the latest new-wave groups.
John was particularly impressed by the Pretenders and Lene Lovich as well as Madness, aBritish ska band. Ska was a style of music that had originated in Jamaica in the 1950s and became popular among Lon-don's West Indian community, where it was known as bluebeat. John told me that he had been a fan of this style of music in the sixties. I soon picked up more ska music by bands such as Selecter and the Specials.
