Me & one of my best dudefriends have come to agreement that this might not be the best Neil Young album but it's one of our favorites for the sheer glorious weirdness.

I already don't like going to Blossom and every subsequent thing makes me less motivated to.
the amount of times I've had to explain that my Croatian Catholic shoulder tattoo is not a mandala...
one of the parishes up here does a lot of POA paperwork for these situations and I hate that we're put in a position where this situation exists.
remembering people my mom knew talking about how "the state wanted to be your parents and that's why they shouldn't go to public schools" and yet AGAIN every accusation is a confession.
The lower value coins had baby animals on them because they were the ones children were more likely to have 🥹
This was great when it was "an old Ukrainian man who let me rent a 2000 sq. ft duplex with a balcony near the beach for $600 a month on a month to month lease" but I just imagine these people billing your credit card forever.
I mean, every band says we're the best but they seemed pleased with the reception and apparently have friends here.
that was SUCH a great show and the venue was really nice.

my mom's brothers couldn't get christened at the Slovak parish and were sent to the Irish one a few blocks up the street for that.
Reminded of this wondrously droll bit from the main text of Polish history.
it's like in my top ten all time favorite songs.
This is literally a sermon millions of progressive Christians across denominations hear regularly.
Every day, I am reminded that nobody knows we exist, so I'm delighted to see the media actually listening for once.
Love to get lectured by someone who's responsible for our electric bills soaring because of a gigantic bribery scandal he's involved in, and who's never eaten out of a dumpster.
Much less trying to get a family's worth of that food home on the bus or a wagon that's barely held together, they'll never know.
I can't imagine any of these guys sitting in line for an hour and a half at a food pantry to pick up a bunch of canned green beans and hoping maybe there's some frozen leftover Chik Fil A, I can tell you that.
my conspiracy-addled aunt is posting AI-generated art about how data centers are bad and by this point I've already given up on doing an intervention.
I'd love to see these guys try to live on what I've lived on.
I sent this band to an INXS-loving coworker and it came back up on my music today, and it's still incredible to me how much great music came out of the former Yugoslavia in the 1970s and 1980s.

it's almost like my fellow believers forget that Jesus said "whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me" and that perfectly fits with what Talarico's saying (and continues to call me out every day).
I'd be lying if Bruce Cockburn's Christmas song about all this didn't hit harder this past holiday season. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRZx...
also I just wanted to sing every Mike Mills harmony because that's always where my vocal timbre has fallen due to years of singing these songs in the car with various ladyfriends and hearing some of the later bangers I never thought I'd hear live was wonderful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lYu...
Felt a huge swell of regional feeling last night singing "Cuyahoga" with my fellow Clevelandians last night. What a great show that made me realize just how many years I've been in love with these songs.
