  1. So the end of the doc is an "in your face, Jann Wenner" call to be in the RnR HOF. Not that it has much legitimacy these days, but I just don't see how they moved the needle enough to warrant admission.

    Obviously, being the 1st all female group to write & play on a debut album that hit #1 is significant, but what impact did they really have on music? They went from punk to bubble gum, were more than a one hit wonder, but what else? The concert footage in the doc was very meh. Have other musicians cited them as a huge influence or inspiration?

    Don't get me wrong. They've made a nice career out of 4 or 5 songs & really seemed to have worked their asses off in their early days. Unless I'm missing something else I just don't see them getting in.

  2. Watching it now. Their early formation as a punk band & how they grew & evolved is quite enthralling. I'm at the point where they're just about to break big. I'm curious to see how they tell the story of their breakup & life after the big time. They've been remarkably candid so far.

    Something I've picked up on is how the director seems to have purposely left out referencing dates/years. You don't really know when they came together unless you knew that The Sex Pistols had their infamous "ever get the feeling you've been cheated" Winterland show in January of '78. Maybe they'll start referencing dates when they become pop stars, but so far it's been kind of nebulous. 

  3. Emmylou and Lucinda are essential to me. Madeleine Peyroux is so awesome, especially when I'm enjoying a nice Redbreast 12 on the patio on a moonlit night.

    I'm also a fan of Melody Gardot. She's got a bit of a Julie London vibe going on...not the strongest voice or biggest range, but she knows how to get the most of it. The fragility makes it even sexier IMHO.

  4. Fuck, he's gonna be handing out Presidential Medals of Freedom to every Fox host between now and December, isn't he? Hannity, Dobbs, Ingraham, etc are all gonna get one for kissing his ass. Lindsey Graham & Mitch McConnell for carrying his water. And might as well throw one to Ted Nugent and Diamond & Silk while he's at it.

    Wait...some of y'all really thought Looch/aggy wouldn't blame covid-19, its impact on college athletics, and aggy having a shitty football season on "t.u." (heee-heee)? 

  6. I'm sure it's just coincidental that only white people are allowed to touch Trump in that painting. Mary Lincoln touching Frederick Douglas' shoulder was the closest the "artist" could get to implying that race mingling is acceptable.

  7. Picked up some Audio-Technica 990z's for $200. Very impressed so far with their sound. Pissed that I spent 10x that amount on window dressings in the living room, but it was easy to slip these in while I figure out my turntable budget.

    Smooth & neautral sounding. Very comfortable (but the style might not work for all...my wife thinks I've got a satellite dish on my head).

  8. I'm guessing he went down in the bunker with Jared, Miller & a couple secret service agents & they set marked off 60'6" in the tunnels so he could practice lobbing a few. When the closest he could get the ball to the catcher was when it rolled on the concrete floors for 20' they realized they were gonna need some more prep time. Dotard probably asked Favre for throwing advice while golfing yesterday.

  9. If wearing a mask is an act of patriotism, why don't you do it more frequently?

    "Well...I do, I carry it with me, I wore it at Walter Reed. In theory you don't need the mask. I wear it when appropriate."

    Starting to get some pressure.

  10. He can't correct his press secretary's remarks about him having received multiple tests a day.

    "I get tested about every two days, I don't know about being tested twice a day, but I could see that."
