Seeing Neil Young tonight. Been a huge fan for years, but have never had a chance to see him live. Following up...Neil was great last night. The GF and I were joking about how many times do you think he's played 'Comes A Time' in his life. And it was cool not being the oldest (by a long shot) peopl...

I saw the note from Katie Porter, and she seems like a kick ass, no-nonsense type, so I was thinking it wasn't the lighthearted joke Carson is making it out to be. Then I went to Porter's Twitter. Yeah, she must be shaking her head in amazement that she sent a deeply insulting "gift," and...

The more I see/hear people complaining about the GOT finale (I thought it was fine...how are you going to end a show that's been on for 8 seasons and has a gazillion different characters and please even a majority of people?) the more I think that David Chase got it right with the ending for The Sop...

Umm....I'm not sure how I'm feeling about this album after the first listen. Like...I'm all for having the female backing vocalist, but on every song?

Everything I've read about the brain since basically agrees how it's a miracle we understand as much about it as we do and yet still don't really know much of anything.

Fuck Leeds This concludes this public service announcement. Agreed. Three goals in 15 minutes for Derby and it's 3-2 Derby on aggregate with about 30 minutes left. You spoke too soon. Now level again. And its weird seeing teams playing each other that have the same Jersey sponsor ( 32Red ).

The episode where Tyrion killed Tywin aired on Father’s Day. One of the two mothers (of Dragons or of two dead Kings) is dead tonight. Big limb. The episode where Stannis had the daughter-b-que was also on Father's Day. I remember because I posted this: https://i1.wp.com/liveatnectars.com/wp-conten...
