I saw my first concert in 1970 at a National Guard Armory in Dothan, AL by a band that had one extremely minor hit, "Stoned Cowboy" that barely charted. It had a thrown-together-at-the-last-minute vibe that this article brought back to life. I LOLd at several places. Just an amazing rabbit hole.
Today I learned that two-thirds of the band that would become ZZ Top started their careers by touring the U.S. while falsely claiming to be the British band the Zombies.

One of the reasons i love tolkien is the theme that despair is an enemy
and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair

You can be as terrified or nonplussed or unperturbed as you like; the sun will still rise tomorrow & the rent will still be due on the 31st. The world has no romantic narratives for its fate except those we invent, because the world does not die. That is our privilege.

The only thing that coulda been better for Jack White to play woulda been a "Fell In Love With A Girl/Hardest Button To Button" medley. What an awesome and unexpected show.

In ancient times, this was Southern Comfort, designed specificly so you'd drink too much of it. I can't say society has made much progress in this arena since the 70's.

Will the court-martial of Sen. Mark Kelly be televised on C-SPAN? In his dress whites with all the fruit salad you get when you've flown 39 combat missions and gone to space four times, twice as a commander?
I will watch every minute as they put his public profile into the stratosphere.

I find myself blocking a LOT of liberal folks in the Northeast because they feel compelled to shit on our parade. We, and I mean Alabama Democrats and Independents, sent this man to DC once against an all-time loser candidate. Black women as a demographic overwhelming went for Jones and won the race
It’s official. @dougjones.bsky.social will run against Tommy Tuberville for Alabama governor. www.al.com/life/2025/11...

This man gave Alabamians that don't belong to the planter class reason to hope when he defeated pedo Roy Moore. Now I feel a twinge of that again.

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

Trans Day of Remembrance is a day to honor and pay tribute to the lives that have been lost due to both systemic and bigoted violence.
It is a day to reassert our commitments to supporting trans, Two-Spirit, and gender diverse people, young and old.
