As I do with any geographical region where I don’t have a good grasp of size, I went to thetruesize.com and compare to Texas (which I have driven across in all directions). For those like me who need a comparison, Nigeria is basically Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas combined.

Springsteen because (1) as noted above people don’t listen to/understand lyrics and (2) this is also partially a generational bitchfest (i.e., “the artists I grew up with aren’t the ones the kids like”) as well as a culture complaint.

PSA: My husband received a very similar call recently after being excused from jury duty. Caller claimed to be from Sheriff’s Office and said there was a problem since he didn’t show up for jury duty. Scammer hung up immediately after I asked this question: “please confirm the jury summons number”

I believe I heard or read something from Tyler Mahan Coe a while back that said country music is pop music plus 20 years and a steel guitar so that tracks.

In high school American History, we had an assignment to connect the events leading up to the revolution, the issues listed in the Declaration of Independence, and provisions in the Constitution/Bill of Rights on a chart. It was a pretty effective teaching tool.

All of Texas deserves better. Don’t be surprised if this goes down the same way at UT-Austin.

My father is of an age with Joe Biden and also had a childhood stutter. What I have observed as he has aged was so much like what we saw with Biden. The stutter is stronger than it was during his middle age, so he speaks more slowly and carefully, but he’s still pretty sharp.
