My pop was a USC alum and despite his penchant for Merle Haggard and Tom T. Hall, even he’d tell you the only answer is this . . .

Feel better Sadds!

Just been recovering (and am now recovered), moving and — next weekend — get to see my elder child graduate from college! Oh, and I have a golf tournament in there too. Also confirmed my first trip to the UK in 4 years for next spring. Retirement is fun; aging less so :)

Obviously that was the clue back when we were posting 10/10 records :)

Well, because regular politicians don’t do silly stuff like that, but some artists do, and there’s this: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/bruce-springsteen-calls-out-the-white-house-and-announces-a-protest-festival

@Ric — May I suggest we put this thread on a sticky? It’s fantastic and I find I return to it multiple times during the season, especially for TV fixture estimated release dates (big help to those of us trying to plan travel to the UK) and draw dates. Thanks!

Welcome to my world, bub :)

This is always tough because variety is the spice of life and so tempo/tone/style changes in a great record are sometimes what make a record great. One person’s filler is another person’s genius. I’d like to think all the records I like best and would rate 10/10 (or even 9/10) have no songs I...

I agree, but don’t find Biko at all godawful and think Mother is a bit tough but like Miss Gradenko quite a bit. The first Police record nearly makes the cut save for Be My Girl.

Thanks for the best wishes all — I appreciate it! Lots of medical stuff this week and next but I’ll be fine. On another note I’ll likely be asking Ric to change my handle as it will be locationally-inaccurate soon. Any musically-related suggestions? Like “Radiohate” and “Radiodead” maybe? :) :)

It’s 3:22 am here and I am prepping for my colonoscopy. Also, I listened to this record a few days ago. The joy level on both remain neck-and-neck. That said, this IS better than Sleep Token. The nice way to say it is that it fails in its mission to make me feel how it wants me to. 3/10.

Why do you think no England? Meant as an actual question, not a passive-aggressive criticism of your point :).

I’ve been thinking the same. But, as such, I wonder if such a challenge might be exactly what he needs. To your point, he’d have to adapt in order to be successful on that stage. So what wins out — the man’s ambition, or his stubbornness (meant in a positive way) to holding football to the ideal...

It is, you’re right.
