Getting old sucks
No need to apologize to me. Been down that road. Headed down it again now. My questions aren’t at all intended to minimize the challenge.

I saw that they are coming to Phoenix. First thing I thought was what about his hand. Buying tickets anyway.

Getting old sucks
Totally get that. Honest question - what good is letting it bother you do? And for the record, I’m not suggesting it isn’t normal human nature to let it bother you because of course it is. Im just asking another philosophical question…

Getting old sucks
Incoming philosophical question alert: Does it really suck though? Isn’t it just the natural order of things? And if you know it’s coming, and allow yourself to be ok with it not sucking, doesn’t that just help us appreciate and make the most out of whatever time we have?

Also what’s the feedback on new tundras? Thinking about swapping my Sierra for one. Are they up to typical Toyota standards? See a few issues noted online but wondering what the real story is.

Epstein and Maxwell
Two questions One - is there anyone on the planet that thinks there is less than a one hundred percent chance that he was absolutely a participant in whatever was going on with Epstein? Two - is there anyone on the planet that thinks there is less than a one hundred percent chance he will face no consequences no matter what information comes out? TL;DR - everyone knows he did it. Everyone knows nothing will happen. Good times.

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Lower growth rate expectations and lower inflation expectations are the only reason long rates will come down. Meaning, people have to want bonds again. It’s always supply and demand. Right now there is more supply than demand. You never really hear about the fed unloading the bonds from QE in the news, but doesn’t that have to have an effect on supply? I never fully understand why so many focus on the fed rate policy. Personally, I think the fed serves a very useful purpose. But they don’t set long rates. Look at last September as an example. 50bp cut, 10 year goes up 100bp.

Things you really just don't get...
It’s not just gen Z. It’s everywhere. The ability to get people to tune in to you moves the needle for everything now.

Things you really just don't get...
Well we entered a world at some point in the past where you could be famous just for being famous. Prior to that, you actually had to have done something.

Things you really just don't get...
I get it. I mean, also don’t get it. I remember the first time I heard someone’s tweet quoted as “news”. I remember thinking oh, wow, someone said something, who gives a flying fuck. Why the fuck is this news? I also remember thinking that I was probably in for a whole lot of not getting whatever was going on from that point forward. A lot of things these days make me think of this quote: “You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.” — Marcus Aurelius

Ozzy has passed.
I first learned of Ozzy in junior high. We were all talking in the football locker room about how bad ass and hard AC/DC was. Buddy brought in his older brother’s tape of Blizzard. He said fuck AC/DC, you wanna hear hard, listen to this. And pressed play on I Don’t Know. Holy shit. Seminal music moment for me. There were a couple that changed me forever. That was def one.

Paranoid was the first song I ever played live with a band.

appreciation thread for old guys that are still with us
After reading the Mike Campbell book last week and subsequently rewatching the Tom Petty documentary, both just reminded me there is a way the music business used to work. A way that worked for all of these artists. And that old way isn’t the way it works at all anymore. Makes you wonder if any of these people would have become what they did if they had to do it in today’s world.
