I visited a Buc-ee’s last year for the first time. Never again. It was an absolute fucking nightmare. Insanely crowded, kids running around everywhere, so large it was difficult to find the things I wanted.

I have just been driving for four hours. I’m taking a break. The last thing I want is to be in the worlds busiest shopping mall that takes a half hour to get gas and a cup of coffee.

Fuck Buc-ee’s. Give me a Love’s every time.

And the Springsteen version very clearly says deuce which means Manfred Mann had to deliberately change it.

I thought that Controversy by Prince was actually called Electric Pussy. Which, for Prince, actually tracks.

Maybe tmi but I was actually using my bidet when I saw this post and the water is going exactly where it’s supposed to.

Not a good karaoke choice though. I didn’t really realize how many words there are until it really gets going.

Ozzy makes breakfast

That had to be deliberate

That might explain why i hate them so much even though i love all other olives

Pfftt… “Aforementioned.” Well la-di-da.

I had to look up escarpment. How do you regularly have the opportunity to use that word?

I would never spit in someone’s drink. I’d spray them with the soda gun instead.

That is a good fucking movie. It should be more well known than it is. I could definitely watch that repeatedly. I could probably watch an hour and forty five of just Charles Grodin doing absolutely nothing and still laugh my ass off.

Super busy dive bar. Not the kind of place you’d order a fancy cocktail on a slow night let alone a packed weekend. Customer asks for some particularly complicated drink when the bar is slammed. Bartender tells her that there a lot of people waiting behind her and asks if she’d please order some simple. Customer insists. Bartender pleads. Customer insists. Bartender relents, pulls out all the tools, gathers the ingredients, preps the glass, etc, etc. Pours the ingredients into the shaker. Spits in the shaker directly in font of the customer. Shakes up the drink, strains it in the glass and says, "that’ll be twelve dollars please "

When did Seth Rogan become a scientist?

Anything by Morrissey. The histrionics are annoying enough but I think he’s an objectively bad musician. He seems to just meander around with no discernable melody. Like, what are you even trying to do man? I’m pretty certain the actually catchy Smiths songs were written by someone else.

Runner up: Hold My Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish. If it comes on at a place of business I will immediately walk out of that business.

Blues Brothers but mostly because I really liked it. It helped that it was full of great musical performances.

How much time do you have, ha?

This is one of the most well researched pieces of work I’ve ever come across. Like somebody’s PhD dissertation. A ten year project for the author. I can’t recommend it enough.

So just to throw some names out there of white people who significantly influenced rock music: Johnny Otis, Bob Wills, Cosimo Matassa.

Seriously, check out this podcast you’re interested in this stuff. I think it’s on other platforms if you don’t have Spotify.

I don’t necessarily agree that they “invented” punk but Bad Brains definitely invented hardcore.

Rock had a whooole lot of influences including white ones.
