-My commute took 2 1/2 hours today. Not sure if I can deal with 30 more years of that shit. -The Beatles rule, still. Got 3 of their albums for Christmas (Rubber Soul, Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road). There has not been a popular band since them who are that good. Turn on the local Top 40 radio station and listen, yep it sucks. -Good new music. Darker My Love, great band and their album entitled 2 is amazing. If you are into swirling pop/rock music that does not just sound like a rip off of My Bloody Valentine, this is for you. Their members come from one of my favorite hardcore band from the old VFW days, the Nerve Agents. -Suprisingly good book, Billy "Superstar" Grahams book "Tangled Ropes." I grew up wasting all of my weekends on early to mid 80's wrestling and this hits the mark. What ever went wrong with that once great sport. It use to be some weird, lo-fi sideshow. Now they are turning it into some dumb hi-fi bullshit. Haven't messed with it in 20 years, but still have mad love for the old days. -Andy Kaufman. Genius.
