Trying to imagine what it'd take for me to yell at a server. Like if I ordered an omelette and they brought me a bowl of rats? But I'd probably still just be like "I'm sorry, you seem to have brought me someone else's bowl of rats."

I’ve had a pretty unusual life and done some cool stuff but being embraced by the working class Latino guys at my local Dodger bar as “the white homie” is one of my proudest accomplishments.

He's great acting in it too, with Stud Terkel (whose presence was a surprise to me!) I still need to see Honeydripper

Wow huge shoutout to THE WALL STREET JOURNAL for being the first to notice Johnny Cash was cool, actually.

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

Incredible that one of the right’s main go-to musicians is still Lee Greenwood with his one song. Alien Ant Farm had more hits.

Saw a place advertising Taco Tuesday but they just mean they sell tacos. There's no discount. That's not Taco Tuesday, that's just a menu.
