Kind of shocked I was already asking this in 2018 but of course time stopped soon after www.streetroots.org/news/2018/09...
screenshot from Jon Langford interview: J.C.: One thing that’s striking about the younger generation, hand-in-hand with the embrace of socialism, is that in some ways the concept of “selling out,” which is barely an option anyway, has been replaced by the idea that you deserve to be compensated for your art. That art is work. J.L.: It always was. For me, always. I think (the band) The Fall were good about that too: “We’re fucking working lads, this is a job and a craft, and we’re good at it.” The Mekons, after the first three or four years, started to think of it more like that too. We would do a lot of benefits during the miners strike. And I always insisted the musicians got some. We’d have these fights – never with the miners, only with the kind of lefty people who wanted you to do it for nothing, and couldn’t understand that you can’t do six benefits in a week and not get anything. You’ve got to give us expenses. The miners used to take us into their houses and feed us and give us places to sleep.

comment on Geese YouTube video "I’m 500 years old and I grew up listening to Mozart and Beethoven, and I like Radiohead so I know what great music is. This band goose has made me think that the kids are all right. They are playing guitars which is unfortunately so rare these days."

Bachman warned that some of her counterparts in different host cities in America are envious of Chicago’s position in 2026. She said the requirements had “taken over” for some host cities and constituted an opportunity cost for other possible ventures. In New Jersey, for example, MetLife Stadium, the host venue for the final, has already spent $37m (£28.4m) on upgrades to enable it to host games for FIFA. Congressman Josh Gottheimer told The Athletic in March that New Jersey will take on $65m in costs for things such as transit security for all hubs, bridges, tunnels, and airports. Miami-Dade County has already approved $46m for services associated with hosting World Cup games at Hard Rock Stadium.

The National's Matt Berninger, one of the few children in Cincinnati with a clear view of Pete Rose www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...
Screenshot from Athletic story: "Dad listened when working in the yard or in the garden or in the garage. Paul Berninger loved hunting, fishing and camping (still does), but always had room for baseball. He coached Matt’s tee-ball team and got tickets to a few games a year at the new Riverfront Stadium. Father and son would watch Pete Rose fly around the field, careen into second base, get up and shake the dirt from the folds of his jersey. There’s no more indelible image of Cincinnati in the ’70s than that. Except then Paul would lean over to tell his son about the Pete Rose he knew. See, Paul grew up not too far from Pete, in the Western Hills section of the city. The two worked at the same golf course as teenagers. One night, the story went, when Paul was trying to close the caddie shack, Pete came in, demanding a candy bar or something. Paul told Pete the shack was closed. Pete, according to Paul, responded by urinating on the counter. “They didn’t exactly get along,” Matt says.

Nashville, Louisville, Philly (I took two of those). They're very successful, I believe they farm out most of the actual legal work to local firms (and then take a huge cut). But they're also doing the Lord's Work against MSG

Joel just telling it like it is
Screen shot of passage from Joel Anderson's Arch Manning article: "Of course, Manning still has a chance to succeed and thrive in Austin. After all, he’s only a redshirt sophomore. But he also has the potential to be a Texas-sized bust along the lines of other ballyhooed quarterback recruits such as Shea Morenz and Garrett Gilbert. In that regard, Manning has found himself at the perfect place—a program that has never quite lived up to its own inflated expectations and reputation. That’s especially true if he manages to wrap up his college career with the Longhorns, whose football program is the engine of the wealthiest athletic department in the country, without helping them capture their second national championship in the past 56 years.
