That other social media platform is a toxic waste of disinformation. I’m here for my mental health.
Another cloudy night in Pittsburgh, so I have to live vicariously through others for Aurora Borealis.
it is insane that this is real

I’ve cancelled my Washington Post subscription, as well. Oct. 1 was my first WaPo-less day, and I’m doing just fine.

Midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show for me tonight. It’s been more than 40 years, and I dont remember any audience participation lines. But I will do the time warp again and do my best to keep up.

Did Mac Davis go on a wellness retreat with John Denver? #AT40

“Do it ‘till you’re satisfied” was definitely not written by a woman. Or else it’d be “Do it ‘till I’M satisfied.” #AT40

Much of what I wear these days is “skin tight.” And that’s not a good thing. That’s being old. #AT40

Just saw the ‘Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere’ movie. It’s depressing, but also moving in a relentlessly quiet manner. Much like the Nebraska album itself.

This guy, wearing a Giants shirt in Denver, woke up the next day to watch his favorite NFL team blow a 19-point 4th quarter lead to lose to the Broncos. I hope he had a nice flight back to New York.

I can’t believe it’s taken until this week for me discover Billy Strings. He’s incredible!

Oh my! “Let’s Get It On” is the BEST way to end a countdown!!! #AT40

This what I was wondering. Would a first-person point of view like “Half-Breed” be cancelled before it got played? #AT40
"Half-Breed" has a good message but Oh So wouldn't be played nowadays. #AT40

I have no why I loved Helen Reddy so much as a young boy. No idea. #AT40

I could envision the bookers of guests on The Dean Martin Show hearing '...Sweet Gypsy Rose' by Dawn/T. Orlando and thinking, "I think we need to be booking more contemporary sounding guests. Can Sammy come in for an encore of 'Candy Man' instead?" #AT40

I just now noticed that awesome fuzzy guitar line that opened “Who’s That Lady?” #AT40

Love that whiney Duane Allman slide! (And it got edited out.) #AT40

“Angie” is the first song in this countdown that I remember loving as a 7 year old. #AT40

“Touch me in the Morning” hits different these days. #AT40

Anyone else curious about the “few other changes” made by The Tokens? #AT40

It’s the song and guitar riff that an upstart whiskey company ripped off for their TV commercials a few years ago. #AT40

It’s weird to hear “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” in “real time.” It’s been so relentlessly covered, like much of Dylan’s work. #AT40

I’m feeling the Boomer-GenXer gap here (and for 1973 in general). But I’m still tickled to find B.B. King in the countdown! 😲

Happy Saturday, all! #AT40

Just a reminder that their Commander-in-Chief is 5’10” and 287 pounds, according to New York police.
Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."
