Thanks! Have to admit I got pretty excited about the “Chasing a Rock 'n' Roll Dream in the Minnesota Music Scene“ until I saw the dates covered. AKA another sign I’ve gotten old. #TheMats

This may set the stage.

Let’s get this thread started. Anyone else excited for tonights HBO debut? Seems Lindelof both treats Moore & Gibbons graphic novel as canon/past and moves it forward enough to do his own thing.

With Harold Bloom’s passing, decided to read what was on his often referenced Western Canon list. There are a couple titles I’ve missed. ? Man, the list makes me too exhausted to actually read the texts, but I do think I’ll tackle Derek Walcott’s Collected Poems next.

Continuing good things, next up Monty Alexander’s Wareika Hill RastaMonk Vibrations

I hear good things about this...

RIP Bill Macy. For awhile you were everywhere.
