I see posts all the time from folks who are tired of hearing so much guitar rock and also posts from folks who want less laptop music and more guitar rock.

Here’s a Thanksgiving song I wrote. This is one of two songs I wrote for Megathruster—the other being a Halloween song that Chris finished up.

It’s nice seeing all of these former White Sox pitchers doing well for themselves elsewhere. It would be nice to keep one every once in a while, though.

Oh, I can’t get/watch/listen to a thing? I guess my only option is to steal it rather than consuming any of the 18 million billion other forms of readily available entertainment.

Fewer Steely Dan uncles, please.
"Thanksgiving should be an opportunity to respectfully put our differences aside—to laugh about our shared memories and strengthen our familial bonds. Instead, my uncle lectures me about the production quality of the band’s Grammy Award-winning album Aja."
Thanksgiving Is Always Ruined by That One Uncle Obsessed with Steely Dan
There are so many reasons to look forward to Thanksgiving. There’s the food, of course, but there’s also the chance to reconnect with our families ...

This can also be applied to popular movie franchises.

FYI, your library has movies you can check out for the holiday weekend. They may have toys, board games, or activity kits to check out for the kids and grandkids.
The library is awesome and you should check it out.
