I'm going with Boston's debut.

How can people not be moved by that second half?

Variety shows were a lot different in 1968...

Or taken for granted? Someone once said "It's a thankless job". I did absolutely everything for my elderly mother today (who has mobility issues) and after doing a grocery run, she left a note "You forgot so and so" a small item that was a few dollars. I felt like saying "F-ck you...do it yourself then"

I mean, it make it seem more articulate and elaborate, but it really all boils down to your experience. If I'm a recruiter, it would be less about the flowery language and more about is this person qualified.

The documentary going national just proves how much Canada and Toronto was ahead of the U.S. when it came to alternative/independent music

He was just interviewed on the Toronto Mike podcast, and it seems like if you're involved in the Canadian music scene--especially in Toronto--at some point you're going to cross paths with this guy. I first met him at the El Mocambo about 20 years ago, which led me to discovering his first band Grindig.

I still live with my senior mother who has mobility issues, and she fell today while shopping. We both agreed it's time to slow down. But she's actually willing to pay an acquaintance to accompany her to pay bills, groceries, etc, who has some experience as a caregiver.

I've already fallen into that role at home, eg, house maintenance, yardwork, grocery runs, chores, monitorig for falls, etc. I'm just curious why she'd opt for someone else when her son is already at home doing most of this stuff?

Nevermind and grunge represented ideals like danger, authenticity, recklessness, rebellion, controversy, etc, that shook things up every so often, eg, punk, as a backlash towards the mainstream when things got too formulaic We hit a wall and the bubble eventually bursts. We no longer see this with algorithms, the Internet, social media, the music industry, etc. All that has died.

Someone actually pointed out that grunge might be less of a music revolution and more of a "course correction". We haven't had one of these over the past few decades...and we're actually beginning to see the product of this. It's allowed culture to be stagnant...like a pond festering. And when there is no shake up--like a stone being thrown--The Machine controls things, monopoly on music, insane concert prices, dopamine decadence, aging rockers, prepackaged music,

There's an entire demographic that has never experienced this music/cultural shift, so I wouldn't rely on the generation driving culture to change things. But we really could use one of these again. A reset. A course correction.

I'm suspecting my elderly mother is exhibiting the signs of dementia, but during the brief one-on-one conversations, she still seems to clear headed and normal.

Been at my shitty job for over 20 years, and I've hit a wall, I'm done here. It's the type of job where you have summers off and you start again in September. This year I used a Leave of Absence to take a few months off. I thought I may have been a bit off in its placement...but I check my e-mail, and here comes the deluge of e-mails for meetings, corporate BS, etc. Mission accomplished!
