This whole business of the homeless guy who solved the Brown University shooting is reminding me of the homeless guy that used to hang out in front of Clocked in Athens. My younger son was a host/bus boy there. The guy used to give the staff advice on stacking dishes in bus

Screaming Jay Hawkins would like a word.
Not having kids is a life hack. I spend my summers in Europe, take cross-country road trips, and disappear off-grid on weekends. The money I’d spend on kids goes to investing, experiences, and freedom. Different priorities. Different definition of rich.

Local Athens GA News: Turns out the lady that drover her car into the local Kroger was NOT having medical emergency. She did it on purpose. And she is known to the police as The Piggly Wiggly Bacon Thief.

This album. It’s fantastic.
Have you ever bought anything based on a post you saw on X? What was it?

Last chance to order my new 3LP/2CD set Fathers Sons and Brothers.
Just to be clear -- good bye everyone! Humanity only has about 14 more days before the total extinction of all humans on the planet ...

Elon Musk could buy 7,487,500,000 copies of my new 3LP Vinyl set Fathers Sons and Brothers and still be a billionaire. Buy Link in first reply.

Has anyone ever used an AI powered chat tool on a corporate website that actually worked to solve a problem or give you the information you were looking for?

I’m at the @40WattAthens Christmas party. The staff are getting their Secret Santa gifts. It’s everything you would imagine it to be.

This is the proper way to play drums. Everyone else is doing it wrong.
Vanilla Fudge’s 1968 rendition of ‘Keep Me Hanging On’ on The Ed Sullivan Show is a sight to behold. They cover The Supremes in costumes that look like they came straight from Austin Powers, but the drama and showmanship capture the '60s vibe. And Carmine Appice on drums—wow!

This is correct. I just discovered I needed a FireWire 400-800 cable, to complete the @CamperBeethoven Tusk reissue. Who’s laughing now?
every god-fearing generation of men maintain and uphold The Wire Box, a strategic reserve of technical entropy from which the anonymous will rise up and become the prophesied Chosen Wire in Our Time of Need.

What I loved about Rob Reiner is the dense details in each scene. He's wearing a US Navy ball that reads "USS Ooral Sea OV-4B" to mimic the USS Coral Sea CV 43. In itself a cool detail. Was the director in the Navy?Why the hat? Never explained. Then this hat makes repeated
RIP Rob Reiner, Spinal Tap remains the funniest rock satire ever made.

“Because these go to 11” That’s it. That’s the joke. And it became an eternal punchline. It’s a classic moment in Rob Reiner’s This Is Spinal Tap. Not just a comedy - it’s canon in film, music, culture. RIP Rob and Michelle Reiner.

This happened in my hometown. Sure sure it’s anti-Zionism.
In case you think what happened in Bondi is just a far away problem. This was in Redlands, California last night. Car drove by firing shots at a home with a Chanukah display. They scream “F*ck the Jews” before driving away.

Part of the origin story for @TheBandCracker. My “callsign” on the @CamperBeethoven Key Lime Pie tour was “McCrackerD” given to me by our east Texas raised stage manager.
