the kids are alright

Gourmet Spud @gourmetspud.bsky.social · 2d

Kids today have way better musical taste than we did because they have access to the entire history of popular music at their fingertips. You've got 12 year olds in the year 2025 whose favorite album is Astral Weeks.

Based on the backstage chaos which frequently accompanied live television shows in the 1950s, the charming film My Favorite Year premiered on this date in 1982. Director Richard Benjamin unleashes Peter O’Toole here – & the veteran actor’s manic performance garnered a Best Actor Oscar nomination.

really enjoying this Fox broadcast of the Michigan Wolverines against the Washington Generals

our favorite local bar, with one big screen projection TV, has announced that it will be showing the Wisconsin/Michigan football game on the big screen at 11 until the Brewers start at 1:00

even if the Brewers weren't on today lots of people will be bailing on the football by 1:00
