The way he just sat down and started playing? Awesome.
I saw Billy Preston play w/The Band (no Robertson) in a little shitty venue in Baltimore many years ago. Great show.

Hoping to finish up ep.3 tonight.

Saw him at Bumbershoot a few years back, and he was fantastic.

Can you retroactively apply to adopt someone and do you think she'd pick me over Paul McCartney?

[+] spoiler: Between the rumors coming out of the spidey movie and the mysterious NYC gang leader teased in this weeks Hawkeye episode I hope they’re really pulling Daredevil into the fold. The timing should work out for a cross platform reveal. Gonna piss some people (me) off if they’re playing around again.

[+] spoiler: I had some thought and for a different reason. We got hard of hearing Hawkeye. Deaf and prosthetic leg Maya. One-brain celled Kate (i'm joking! I love the character!) Daredevil would fit right in as a differently-abled individual.

More reaction to the Beatle's Doc...from songwriters:

‘I spontaneously burst into tears’: How 13 songwriters felt watching the new Beatles documentary

Jeff Tweedy, solo musician and frontman of Wilco: I don’t think of it like any other viewing experience I’ve had in my life. It’s really kind of intense and bizarre. … I spontaneously burst into tears a few times just being able to see the exact moment a take I’ve listened to a thousand times was put down.

[+] spoiler: A lot of chatter before the episode about Jeremy Strong not returning (duh) or returning in a very reduced role for next season. I don’t see that now. The sibs all have a reason to stay United because of what they think they have on Logan and Tom and Greg. Kendall was potentially meeting with new lawyers, Shiv knows about the shredding Tom and Greg were involved I , and Roman is just broken-hearted and has nowhere else to turn. Sets up an amazing season 4.

Finished Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) last night. Man, that has to be the most detailed writing of a plotline in the history of television. First couple episodes of the final season were super intense with action, but I had a hard time getting into it. Part of the problem was I binged the first 4 seasons, then had to wait a year, and kind of didn't care for a bit. Then the flashback scenes were incredibly well done and those plots were interesting and made me care again. The final twists were so well done, I thought it ended beautifully.

It's such a unique show. Crazy action scenes and really cool heists, but then all the character development is done through flashbacks that make everything you saw so much better. I feel the need to go back and rewatch, because some characters just aren't what you thought when you know their backstories. And the plot is revealed so slowly and with dozens of shocking twists that were all orchestrated, it'd be cool to see everything when you know the reasoning behind it, and when you know what comes later. Not to mention, I'm sure I forgot more than half the plot and twists that got the characters to where they were.

Watched the first couple episodes of South Side on HBO Max and laughed my fool head off.

Never heard of it until I listened to the Wait Wait Don't Tell Me podcast of last week which had the two brothers who created the show as guests. They were hilarious and more importantly they stressed the fact that even though the show is about a couple down on their luck hustlers on the south side of Chicago, there are no "very special" episodes. No violence, no injustice, pure comedy.

Book is fantastic. I think the adaptation for the TV series is being done REALLY well. Not that it really matters, but just from that perspective, I like the tweaks they've made to the setting and some of the plots. Subtle, but I think they enhance things, rather than being annoying.

We've been watching 'Hacks'...the show with Jean Smart (who's amazing) playing a Joan Rivers type of Las Vegas comedian.

We like it...its funny, with enough pathos to make it interesting. But what we really like about it? The 30 minutes long episodes.
