My son plays the bass. I told him to study the choreography from A Charlie Brown Christmas. That's 90% of what bass players do on stage.

I'm going to see my son's band for the first time tonight, and he's super nervous. He's trying to advise me about mosh pit etiquette as though I didn't live through the entire 90s. Also, I'm clearly a dorky dad in linen shorts. Horseshoe pit, maybe. Mosh pit, no.

If you grow up as a Latter-day Saint (especially outside Utah), you develop at least one of these as you try to fit in:. - Athletic.- Hilarious.- Very specific geek culture.- Obsession with a particular caffeinated soda.- Hunting.- Entrepreneurship.- Piano. How many did you get?.

Okay, I'm late to the Brian Wilson tribute tweet game, but his work is an important part of my musical DNA. He made complicated harmonic progressions so easy to enjoy. He didn't hide broccoli in brownies. He made you think you wanted broccoli all along.

My parents raised me with Nick at Nite, so I'm better with Boomer/GenX pop culture than many of my Millennial counterparts. I've paid it forward by ensuring that my Gen Z offspring know every Homestar Runner reference possible.

Happy Antimacassar Day.

Ever have a weird piece of pop culture you love but don't have anybody to appreciate it with because it sounds stupid when you try to explain it?.Oliver Richman Twitter, I know you're inexplicably emotional about groundhogs today.

The one Sunday each year when I can get away with pulling out too many organ stops. and wearing a seersucker suit.

This year, more than ever before, we are all John Daker.

Me (horrified): You're taking the SAT in pajamas?.My teenager: They don't give you points for looking good.

The only credible current #generalconference rumor I've heard is that it took some extra negotiations to get the BYU choir music approved. So they'd better be doing something awesome.

Imagine Hegseth was a Democratic nominee. Would you still make excuses for him this week?.Removing the dangerously incompetent is an American issue, not a partisan issue.

I 90% agree with mouth tape influencers. I just think they should wear it during the day instead.
