I didn’t think the 45 seconds of listening to Queen of Soul could be topped. But that 5 minute anecdote by Madonna about how she butchered one of her best songs at an audition really moved me This woman could make another persons funeral about herself
She’s adorable and her music is fun. 7 words required. I don’t describe cotton candy with the same hushed tones I reserve for creme brûlée.
Again, it’s simply an issue of tone
100% with you in spirit here. I'm getting better at saying things like "Coupling her unbelievable voice with that who's who of production luminaries this album was earmarked for massive success from its inception" as opposed to things like "I'm a grown ass adult human being. It would never dawn on me to listen to pop that's produced to cast as wide a net as human possible. I've got tons of artists I'm not listening to that I f'ing love. Ain't nobody got time for this"
It's all about tone.
A clip of the whole gang....from better times. Please note how hot Nicki looks with the eye patch

I'm with ya. But our boy Win is a peacock and we have to let him fly. Any censoring/nuetering could lead to an online presence similar to ....say....YBB. And clearly nobody wants that.
It's 100+ here everyday from june to oct. And regularly 110+. Which is similar to Houston. MM is 49 and I am 52. This year I've really noticed a difference in my ability to withstand the onslaught of extreme heat. As much as this dude turns my stomach I hope he gets better and makes a note that extreme heat is no f'ing joke.
I like Worked Up Win. He's a firebrand. An un-broke mustang galloping across the landsraad. An electric eel in a minefield. An Ivory Coast general with a pickaxe and a bone to pick it with. A washed up actress cast in a role that completely changes the arc of her career.
Eureka/Arcata is magnificent. It's stoners as far as the eye can see. I'm overdue for a run to the coast. Maybe when the highway isn't covered in fire I'll head over.
True story: growing up in Northern California you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a deadhead. And from a very early age I simply hated if. I could list all the legitimate reasons I hate jam bands. But we hold these truths to be self evident But the truth is I have never actually heard Phish I just assumed all the typical jam band shit applied. Soca couple years ago (I was 50) I saw them playing live on Axis TV. So I grabbed a cold beer, got my positive attitude on, and watched. I hit play and then Trey noodled at me as only jam bands are capable of. OVER TEN MINUTES. That senseless meandering that has nothing to do with anything. I turned it off. That’s the entirety of my Phish listening experience. It took you less than a minute to read this
