Look Up - Ringo Starr Very enjoyable, and I'm not a country music guy. Ringo has always done a great job with it though. Stand out track for me is Rossetta. Kudos to Ringo for not just doing an album of covers.

Count me among those who are fine with the team winning the game. As a fan of the Pats since the mid-70s, I can attest that losing becomes part of the organization's culture, and teams and fans accept it. The Pats don't need a QB, so if they can't significantly improve with the #2 pick, moving down 1 spot isn't really the problem.

Mick, although we've never met, I was thinking of you while I watched this yesterday. It's basically your (apparent) record collection.

I think one was the 2023 edition. Dashing? No. Young? Sadly, no. Urbanite? You're talking about someone who would move to the White Mountains if I could get the votes around here.

It's probably heresy, but I put this, and the live disc that accompanies the Turbo Deluxe Edition, ahead of Unleashed in the East. Better track list.

He's one of those artists I never think to mention when talking about my favorites, but I'm reminded every time I listen to him. Great songwriter.

Thanks, Rhyta. It was a great one.

Nonsense, it’s birthday weekend.

Amen, brother.

Another birthday without a formal release of Asbury Park. Maybe next year.

Thank you, my friend.

Thanks here as well, Derek.

Anybody wants to get mellow, you can turn around and get the f*ck outta here.

Thanks, Derek.

George Harrison - Living in the Material World (50th Anniversary Edition)

People get all wound up about Teddy's politics, but his early stuff is excellent no-frills rock. Double Live Gonzo is underappreciated.

We just used sticks.

Exactly the one I'm looking to buy, in fact.

Thanks, PJ.

Thanks, buddy.

Thanks Woodsman.

Close, Nova. We didn't wear caps yet when I was in school. Those came in a few years later. Along with gloves.

Thanks, Robert. What's better than drinking and hockey?

Thanks, 73. I did have one of those yesterday.

Just saw this. Thanks Chica. You're a good one.
