You’re offered so much, but you’re frightened to take it.

Music (punk, garage, new wave, jazz, indie, post-punk, glam, classical, whatever), Mets/Jets/Rangers, cats, beer, higher ed, travel, art, etc. Pro democracy, pro justice. Jersey since birth.

We’re more than a year away from midterms and 3+ from the next presidential election (presuming we have them) and I see it’s already “this Democrat doesn’t 100% meet my purity test, therefore they’re no different than Trump” season 🤦🏻‍♂️

This *only* helps Republicans.

Hey MAGA, if you’re upset about Mamdani, wait until I tell you about the al-Qaeda commander Donald Trump just welcomed into the White House.

Only someone who’s a) never had to make mortgage or car loan payments and b) really fucking stupid, would suggest 50 year mortgages and 15 year car loans.

9. Their earlier classic singles (My Generation, The Kids Are Alright etc) weren’t hits in the States, but by 1967 The Who started becoming stars here. Two years later with Tommy, they were as big as anyone.

Day 11 - Even the grumpy holdouts who at the time condescendingly hated punk and new wave liked The Pretenders. Just a shame that heroin tore this lineup apart.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

7. A teenage Alex Chilton didn’t sing with his natural voice here, this was some impression he was doing in a rehearsal and he was told to record it that way. He obviously didn’t sound like this with Big Star.

OK, the #Jets might be bad, but the #Browns are just dumb.

Who benefits from 50 year mortgages: banks, developers, realtors, estate lawyers.

Who gets screwed: everyone else.

#Jets key to scoring is to keep the QB off the field.

Before I put the #Jets game on, I was watching Man City-Liverpool, it was 3-0 MC. Let’s see if the Jets can outscore either of those teams.

Day 9. Circa 1980 or 81, a girlfriend dragged me to see The Police. The night was saved by The Go-Go’s opening for them; note to Sting, never have a warmup band that’s more entertaining than yours.

One of those songs where the cover became the definitive version…to the point where many don’t realize it’s a cover.

50 year mortgages probably seem like a really good idea if you’re mathematically illiterate.
