On October 10th, 1995 No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom was released, and being just a girl was never the same.

I assume Rosenthal will continue say the pitching is Judge’s fault?

Steve Reynolds @reynoldstop20.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely.

When I interviewed Bill about the book I said to him, “So if there’s a villain in this story it’s Elliot Roberts.”

Agree with this completely, it’s a terrific book.

The Janovitz Cars book really raises the bar on music bios. This is how you do a meat & potatoes, context-rich, loving but nonhagiographic deep dive into a band’s history. Funny, idiosyncratic, w a strong sense that it was written/researched by a *musician* while also accessible to a gen audience.

I've interviewed him on baseball (and sometimes about music) multiple times--I could pass along his new pr person's info? He is out there pushing 72 Stories right now...

Thank you Josh. I am still stressed, but reading that brought down my blood pressure a couple notches.

Hello Josh. Getting my first colonoscopy on Wednesday, and it’s the first time I will go under any sedation since I was 8 years old…and the whole thing is seriously stressing me out in advance! And I haven’t even got to the drinking the awful stuff and pooping a lot part! Signed, Scared Shitless.

I highly recommend Bill Janovitz's new Cars book that came out on Tuesday.

Well, I'm not one to curse on social media, but a hearty Fuck Yeah to this, good sir.

Well Brian, now I need a full column on the Top 10 "A Bozo Develops A Purpose" films of all time. Is requesting that a subscriber perk?

Let me second this! I’m going to turn it off because I’m afraid the crackling is going to damage my living room speakers.

How is the quality of this broadcast so bad? Crackling mics, weird frame rates. It’s like ESPN’s never handled a Yankees game before

Steve Reynolds @reynoldstop20.bsky.social · 8d

When I wrote this up yesterday for the day job this video was the first thing that came to mind.

An American President just declared war on the American people. That person should no longer be President. And Dems should now say so openly.

Ah, you could see it coming for a long while. This doesn’t even rank in the Top 5 of Mets pain I’ve experienced. Good luck and go beat the Dodgers!

The universe was a bit heavy handed with its 2025 metaphor this morning at Grand Army Plaza:

A photo of a Tesla with New Jersey plates that ran into a NYC streetlight pole.

When I walked by this morning it I thought “that’s a little heavy handed with the 2025 metaphor.”

Of course that’s De La Soul, autocorrect. But now I wonder what Dr. La Soul practices?
