I can't recall exactly how I discovered them, but I was pretty much obsessed from the beginning. I do admit that I haven't wandered too far outside of the Ritual and Black Widow albums. Those were just so great.

(Love Midnight Oil. I bought their Diesel and Dust album -on cassette, of course 😆- and played it to death. Then my younger cousin borrowed it and played it some more. Great sound!)

I cannot convey the depths of my sadness to discover that #Howl-A-Ween wasn't about dogs.

So I'm hijacking the hashtag. Here's my Abner in various costumes.

Share yours here!!

Abner, a white dog is sitting on the couch wearing a witch's costume. He's wearing a black witch hat with a moon and stars on it, and an orange band. He's wearing a black and orange dress of the same material with orange tulle at the bottom. He's making a face as if he knows he's in a dress and I just took his picture.

Abner, a white dog is laying in his bed with a Coke label wrapped around his head and his tongue sticking out while looking at the camera

Abner, a white dog, is wearing a Halloween t-shirt. He is laying where all you can see is his back. The T-shirt is black, it has blue and red stars on it, two pumpkin stacked up on top of each other, and two ghosts on coming out of the sides of the pumpkins

Abner, a white dog, is sitting on a bed wearing a skeleton bat costume. It has a hoodie with little ears, and wings that stick out to the sides that you can see the bones of the wings. The part that covers his body you can see the spine and the ribs with the heart

A few folks aren’t posting them on their own profiles, but just replying to someone else with their own picks. If you’re replying to every post of your own (to make one long thread), that’s okay. But you’re right. I don’t think each will show up as a separate post on the feed.

Tour dates (as of today):

The tour, dubbed Fifty Something, is described as a “celebration of Rush’s music, legacy, and the life of late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart” and is slated to hit seven cities in North America, kicking off with two nights at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on June 7 and 9.

The tour will then go to Mexico City for one show and then hit two nights in multiple other cities — including Fort Worth, Chicago, New York and Toronto — before concluding with a single concert in Cleveland on September 17

"Daryl Hall, who sang on the choruses on 'Original Sin,' said that Nile Rodgers asked him to 'come down to the studio because they wanted me to sing on it for some reason. I don't know why.. they're good singers, they didn't need me but I did it anyway.'"
