Comment on Scott Hirsch - No No in ~music
Parliament Link Parent I agree. Hiss Golden Messenger never resonated nearly as much as Scott Hirsch's solo albums have. I'm not familiar with Gene Clark but just added two of his albums to my queue. If you like Scott...I agree. Hiss Golden Messenger never resonated nearly as much as Scott Hirsch's solo albums have. I'm not familiar with Gene Clark but just added two of his albums to my queue. If you like Scott Hirsch, I would also point you to The Skiffle Players - listen to Michael Weikel from their first album. Circles Around the Sun and the Skiffle Players are both Neal Casal projects.

This is somehow my first time seeing him just through bad luck and timing - I'm sure it'll be wonderful. Leon is also in my wife's top 3 musicians, and we got a babysitter and are going to dinner at a tapas place that's 21+ after 6 PM (which means we haven't been there in like 3 months).

Nothing But Time is a more country-influenced song from the same album. I would say this 2018 album has higher peaks but that his first album is better as an overall body of work.
Scott Hirsch was previously a member of Hiss Golden Messenger and The Court & Spark.

Otherwise, I post to it maybe once per year. My mother shared a photo of him when he was a few months old after we had repeatedly told her we didn't want that, and we forced her to take it down. Then she made us feel like the bad guys for protecting our child's privacy. The whole situation only reaffirmed my belief that we were doing the right thing.

-
Trump directed Cohen to threaten his high school and college with lawsuits if they released his grades or SAT scores.
-
Trump challenged Cohen to name a country led by a black person that wasn't a shithole.
-
Cohen was with Trump in his office on the day of the Trump Tower meeting when Don Jr. came and told his father, "The meeting is all set." To which Trump replied, "Ok good... let me know."
-
Trump never explicitly told Cohen to lie about Trump Moscow, but according to Cohen, "In his way, he was telling me to lie." Trump's personal lawyers reviewed and edited Cohen's statement to Congress about the timing of the Moscow Tower negotiation.
-
Trump said this about his draft dodging: "You think I'm stupid, I wasn't going to Vietnam."
Allegedly...

The electoral college is idiocy.

That would allow you to keep your data usage down because you're using files already synced locally. I do this with Plex. Not sure if that downsizes or further complicates your digital life though!

We usually just exchange cards and grab dinner, nothing maj. Not even going out to dinner this year since we went last night instead, but we did exchange cards this morning.

Lauderdale for a conference last month, and one of the attorneys presenting at the conference said he had seen Roger Stone in a bar the previous night. He made some wise crack like "I wish I had gotten a photo with him before he goes to prison". 5 weeks later, and the FBI is knocking at the door of his Ft. Lauderdale home!

It must be a time issue. I think there are 540 minutes total in this season, and we're 10% through without shedding any blood. I worry everything will feel rushed just to handle the major conflicts, let alone the minor subplots and loose ends. Last season felt rushed too.
