#RiversDemoFlood 1742: Hawaii 9
2015
From the White Year
Once upon a time, Rivers had a melody and made three great songs out of it.
It started out as Hawaii. Then became Since You Came Around. And then the song ended up as the bridge to Jacked Up.
Take 9 is the last version of Hawaii we have..

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

During 2005, Rivers was focused on getting married, finishing up at Harvard and supporting Make Believe (probably in that order).

#RiversDemoFlood 1738: Hippies 1

For some reason, Rivers decided to stop working on the excellent song The Ballad of St. George, and reuse the melody in Hippies.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, but Hippies is a downgrade.

Had a great time watching Wake Up, Dead Man. Thought the story and mystery were solid.

Only now at this time in my life am I realizing that Bruce Springsteen is singing 'Big Bones Billy' and not 'Big Balls Billy' in Rosalita.
I feel like I've let the whole State of New Jersey down.

Sundar Pichai gutted the ecosystem keeping his company central to online life because he thought it would bring more shareholder value.
Why he’s still CEO is baffling.

Hello, computer.
Leonard Nimoy's Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (aka The One With the Whales!) was released 39 years ago today.
One of the most popular Trek films, the Whale Movie is indeed one of my fav. Fresh, funny, with a fine environmental message, it completes an overall successful trilogy.
