I had never heard that band before^. They're great. Thanks for posting.

Recent Sierra drafts:

Lake Of The Sky-hoppy west coast DIPA flavored with spruce. Fantastic. Maybe my new favorite beer, nicknamed "Piney The Elder." A "forest beer" from The Good Wolf brewery,...

I like this band. Can't recall how I first heard of them, but when I saw their name come up on Austin City Limits, I was ready to watch. Hadn't seen the NPR video. Thanks for posting it.

Rest in peace, Dickey. I'm glad I got to see the Allman Brothers Band in 1975. I was too young to see them when Duane was alive. I almost got to see them again in the mid-'90s, and I don't...

^ Those are good choices. People seem to either love or hate Somewhere In Afrika. I always liked it.

Manfred Mann also played Moog on this:

The Holdovers (2023) - good movie, as I believe has been mentioned above.

They've done such a good job of making sure people without cable TV can't watch these games, that I didn't know their nickname or mascot. Thanks for the info. I'll go back to my cave now.

Every time someone says "UConn," I hear "Yukon." As though the Great White North has a team in the NCAA basketball tournament.

I've never been anywhere that people sang along with "Sweet Caroline." I didn't even know it was a thing. Is it regional? Or am I just lucky in the places I choose to go?

Does anyone know who won the "March Madness" tournament? They don't do sports on the TV news anymore, and broadcast TV had no coverage after the first few games. I tried googling it but the only...

I remember seeing the original and considered it not bad. Nothing deserving of a remake, though. Nothing against the late Patrick Swayze, or against the fine actor Jake Gyllenhaal. There has to be...

Watched River Of No Return (1954) last night. My library had a dvd of the restored western movie, so the technicolor picture and sound were just great. If I ever saw it when I was young, I don't...

The Hunger Games-The Ballad of Bullshit and Snow. We watched this last night. Both of us fell asleep. Did we need this prequel? The Hunger Games, 60 years before the Hunger Games. It's not...

Last night we watched The Creator (2023), a futuristic sci-fi movie about a war between the Americans (of course), supposedly fighting for humankind, and Artificial Intelligence robots and cyborgs...

I can't remember if I've seen that or not, but I love a good Hackman flick. Maybe it's time to watch it. I would like to recommend a top-notch surveillance film, The Lives Of Others (2006),...

20 Days In Mariupol - Mentioned above. About Putin's attack and invasion of the sovereign nation of Ukraine. I already wasn't a fan of Putin, but now I am particularly disgusted by the Congressmen...

Rest in peace, Jimmy.

Watched a fun Eli Roth slasher movie: Thanksgiving (2023).

Joe (2013)

I've seen all three and now own The Host and Joe on dvd. Winter's Bone I confused in my mind with another movie I can't recall the name of, but I looked it up and remember seeing Winter's Bone. All...

Today would have been Paul's 83rd birthday.

I thought it was amusing and I hadn't seen the meme before. Most of the really long concerts I have been to were by the Grateful Dead. Three hours seemed to be the minimum they would play. I've...

I like what I have heard of them, but I only have two of their albums. Looking forward to hearing more.

Last night we watched Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One (2023). Night before we watched John Wick Chapter 4 (2023). A combined 6 hours of adrenaline rush. Guess we should find something...

Just started Exordia by Seth Dickinson. A Science Fiction novel in which the earthling protagonist meets an alien on Earth. The first chapter is the only one I read so far, and it is well written...

American Fiction-did not hear anything about this before the awards show

"Supertamp" just made me think of Maestro Cooder.

Not Forever But For Now - Chuck Palahniuk

Isn't a metal pole the same as a lightning rod?

Drunk Parents (2019) - a comedy critics didn't like, but the wife and I got a lot of laughs. Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek. Viewed on Tubi.

White Lotus Season 2 - enjoyable show. Viewed on dvd.

Thanks. I always wished an unbiased news platform existed. Now I know that it does.

Some articles do not open with any information that relates in any way to the headline. Do they not have editors any more?

I've seen that before. I quit reading any article that includes quotes from social media. It's not only irrelevant, it's annoying. I eventually quit reading the website that has such articles.

You got that right. A typical half-hour television local news program has 15 minutes of commercials, 13 minutes of nearly information-free weather, and 2 minutes of human interest stories passed off...

'Tis true.

The weather.

The Flash - I had given up on Marvel and DC comic superhero movies, but I read that this one was good, so we gave it a try. Decent entertainment this time.

Past Lives is interesting. You will have to brush up on your Korean and Mandarin, or else use your subtitles. It is what they are for.

Sorry. Too many space rituals.

Let me know what you...

Past Lives (2023) - a drama about a boy and girl who grew up as childhood friends in Korea. The girl immigrates to Canada at age 12, and then moves to the US. Years later, the boy, now grown and...

I always liked this one:

Well, who do you think you're foolin'?
You say you're havin' fun,
But you're busy going nowhere,
Just lying in the sun
You tried to be a hero,
Commit the perfect...

You got that right. A shame. I can still remember seeing Supertramp in concert in April 1976, right in the middle of the string of the four best albums they ever did (Crime Of The Century[11/74],...

I wasn't aware that there was a remake of Fahrenheit 451. I have only seen the 1966 original film, and of course, read Bradbury's novel. Bradbury's words of warning may be more important now than...

Watched a movie on Tubi called Kill Me Three Times, starring Simon Pegg. An Australian hitman murder comedy from 2014 that I somehow didn't hear about when it came out. Good one.

The smart part of these devices is certainly not that function. I, too, trust my eyes and nose more than I trust a message from an appliance. The only food I have ever seen go bad before or on its...

I liked The Lobster, but it's been a while since I saw it.

That's OK. It knows how to use you (or anyone, not just you specifically). That is what they are designed for.



Do I sound like I'm wearing a tinfoil hat?

Welcome to the club.

It is sad, considering how easy it is to count out change, once you know how. Maybe no one is teaching these kids basic math. I know that doesn't apply to all young people, just the ones that hate...

Got to see this one tonight. Very much enjoyed it. Barbara Steele's eyes, wow!

Also watched the sequel, The Ghost, but realized we had seen it before. Still good.
