Peak Rock
This Marah show in Toronto someone just posted was just a few days off from a show Op & saw, a short set opening for Steve Earle on a tour that would soon be cresting that Fall as the absolute peak of Kids in Philly, and the peak of live rock & roll and a personal rebirth for me.

Moi SayMoi just a few months ago:
Kids in Philly will always be known as both their musical peak and their “this is their moment!” peak, it’s both their Sgt. Pepper and their Summer of Love, and I was lucky enough to see a bunch of shows that tour including the record release party & one autumn weekend run in particular that’s still a Top 5 music moment for me; everything magical about music I believed in seemed to be coming into being & focus just for me, and at the center of that in more ways than one was Marah's masterpiece Kids in Philly.
ENJOY! Long live Marah, and long live all the kids in all of us.

Good Advice is Good Advice.
The Hot Pockets people would like you to know that the main instructions to cooking a Hot Pocket in the microwave are (checks instructions)(checks instructions again) cook it in the microwave. 🤔🤷♂️

Current Events
....if Trump is smart he'll use the weather as an excuse to cancel a lot of the July 4th activities so he won't soil himself when nobody shows up.
This Seems Relavent to Today
Moi Say Moi back in 2006:
3) With warm weather coming up I’m bracing myself for the inevitable advice we’ll get during the first heat wave: “Stay inside with the air conditioning on.” Really? Wow, thanks! Because I was gonna cover myself in maple syrup, put on my heaviest wool sweater and spin in circles on the baking asphalt for a while. “Stay inside with the /ac on.” If I could do that, Professor, then I wouldn’t give 2 shits about the heat, now would I? That’s like if I wanna be a millionaire, “Have a million dollars in the bank!” Thanks, JP Morgan.

A Hot Dog Program
Doctor to the Stars
In the waiting room earlier the nurse came out and asked the two toddlers who'd just gotten shots what color star they wanted; I don't think they even know what colors or stars are but hey long story short look who ended up with a star of his own.
SPEAKING of The New Yorker...
...I rather humbly submit that while this is close to being a great joke bigger would've been funnier than big here.
SEE MY PREVIOUS RATHER HUMBLE OPINIONS ON HOW THE NEW YORKER COULD'VE BEEN FUNNIER HERE
WELL Well Well....
...it's been a long year for The New Yorker front covers - and you know I love them! - so I'm relieved to see one I finally like. Finally.
The Musicality of Joyce Endures 🇮🇪
Moi Say Moi back in 2011:
Like Finnegan's Wake I've never even bothered trying to understand Ulysses when reading, but from time to time I pick it up and flip to a random page to read just for that smooth rhythm of Joyce's. I can think of no other author for whom I do such a thing. I don't know what the hell's going on and I don't give a shit; it's like loving a song when you don't really know or care what the words mean.
I've repeated this several times throughout the years in conversation whenever Joyce has come up and - unlike my recent shocking Confederacy of Dunces revelation 😲 - upon finding more of my old college papers from a million years ago, it's kind of nice to know I thought the same thing back when reading & breaking down Joyce meant actually reading & breaking down Joyce. 😜🕺📓📚
Current News
NPR fucked up earlier today:
PR has dramatically retracted a news story announcing that conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel
Alito would retire—and admitted its reporting was wrong.I'm guessing Trump will have his standard $10B lawsuit ready to go today by 4, maybe 4:30pm at the latest.
The story, written by longtime legal affairs NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg, 82, was published minutes after Alito dissented from the Supreme Court ruling to keep birthright citizenship in place.
Her report was replaced by an editor’s note.
“Editor’s Note: Earlier today we erroneously published a story saying that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was retiring. He has not announced his retirement and we have retracted the story,” the story now reads.
