Yeah, my wife took it pretty hard today even though she knew it was coming. Her and I don't agree on the morality of abortion but we both agree that it should be a choice between a woman and her doctors. We definitely agree the government has no place in that decision. Now that the protection has been removed, we have 50 different fights ahead of us. It's quite demoralizing. As if we didn't already have enough difficult political battles to fight already.
I get those two confused also. Many years ago a friend played me an album by one of the Petes that was getting a lot of hype at the time and I thought it was boring. I guess it was Yorn because the Droge track that was drafted is not boring.Oops, Pete YORN just released a new album
I had, up until a few years ago, thought that this was actually a Gorilla Biscuits original. I had no idea it was the Buzzcocks up until then. Great song.
I missed this yesterday. Good to have you back, GB. Thanks for the pick. It's sort of a serious subject and too depressed to give an appropriately happy welcome back, but there ya have it.Northern Voice said:
Good thing Pete was only in the “supergroup” The Thorns and not the “supergroup” Golden Smog.
I decided to read about our protomartyr St. Stephen. Interesting story. I learned that a frond in an open palm that is cupped to the breast was the sign of the martyr in Christendom.
I went down a rabbit hole last year reading the theories behind Leonard Cohen's Famous Blue Raincoat.
I can't remember all I read, but some of the things that I can remember is that Leonard owned a blue raincoat he wore all the time, but it was eventually stolen from Marianne's house. She once was his lover. He also was briefly into Scientology, and "to go clear or the state of being clear" is a Scientology term. Leonard himself has talked about the song, and said he couldn't remember if it was about him, and if the betrayer was real, was it him, was he both. He leaves mystery to it. I think most theorist believe the woman "Jane" in the song is Marianne Ihlen. I mentioned her earlier. She was one of his girlfriends, and thought to be his true love. They both died the same year. He wrote her a letter before she died.
I saw about half of the Leonard and Marianne movie. I'm fuzzy on the details even though I was in a good state watching it. It mentioned his upbringing in Montreal, which is what I remember most about the film, actually. That he was from Montreal.
I'll have to watch that. So, the biggest thing you remember from it is that he is from Montreal?
Yep. Guilty as charged. And that he did tons of speed while in...I forget where he was.I'll have to watch that. So, the biggest thing you remember from it is that he is from Montreal?
I have tried to watch a documentary on him on Hulu, and every time I click to watch it, it won't let me do it. It seems like it wants me to get an app, but I'm using the Hulu app already.
How was it? What bands did you see? What impressed/didn't impress you? All that. Do tell.
Thursday I think I only saw Nothing (they were good), The Weather Station (they were very very good, I believe maybe @Eephus #1 album last year) and Blu DeTiger (she was fun).
We had a great time. I think we all admitted we weren't there for the lineup which was just ok by Bonnaroo standards but to get away for a weekend of good times and it nailed that perfectly.

We were pretty slick at that NBA game. I probably should've stopped chucking threes with Charles Oakley but, well, I'd been drinking.
Hulu jujitsu.
