    Might want to check those brake pads, homie...

    Replaced the brakes at 210k miles in the 2011 Tacoma.

    2011

    I have a 2011 Tacoma.  240K miles.  Outside of the shitty radio/CD player, it has been great.  Had to replace both catalytic converters at about 150k.  Other than than...just replace tires.

    Wow, I didn't know that Taupin ever worked with Alice Cooper.  Now that I've looked it up -- Steve Lukather and a couple of guys from Elton John's band, too.

    I bought that album because I read Taupin's name on the credits and Marcy Levy sings the duet of Millie & Billie.  
    "And I liked your late husband Donald.  But such torture his memory brings.
    All sliced up and sealed tight in baggies.  Guess love makes you do funny things"
     

  4. Redheaded Stranger is likely the answer to the question.    I've only recently learned about Phases and Stages.  Been getting in to it a lot lately.

    My favorite, by far, is "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" by Elton John.   One this is criminally underrated is "From The Inside" by Alice Cooper.  

    Common component is Bernie Taupin.

    Strong Songs just started a new season with a fantastic episode on "In Your Eyes".  I have been listening for about 2 years now, and he has gotten pretty good.  He's very much like a music or science teacher, a bit goofy to cheesy at times, but he hits on the stuff that really interests me about songwriting and production.  I could not get into stuff like Song Exploder where get into the personal stories that might interest the average listener more but didn't really scratch an itch for me.

    I only pay into 3 Patreon sites.  The Strong Songs & The Bottom Forty podcasts and Jeff Plankenhorn, because he is just a kickass dude and we need more kickass dudes.

    Man, I just don't know how some people do it.

    There's a retired couple in their late 60's or so that works out at my gym in the mornings. Always together. They go hop on the treadmills side-by-side and the wife literally just talks into her husband's ear, non-stop stream of consciousness without pause the entire time. He never says a word beyond "yep" or "uh huh" every now and then. Just stares blankly ahead. I presume at this point he just hears a high-pitched tone or something. After the treadmills, they go use various weight machines, and the wife always is on whatever machine is next to her husband, yakking in his general direction. I'd have to give up exercising entirely if every trip to the gym meant that my wife was gonna tag along and try to talk me to death the entire time. 

    This man appears to have the patience of a saint, but I just know that deep down, buried somewhere in his gut, there's a "goddamnit woman, do you ever shut the hell up??!???!" just waiting to escape. 

     

    Lyle Lovett has a solution:

    The other day I put my dog’s food in a bowl he wasn’t used to and he barked at it till I got his regular bowl. Like me he has standards and only bangs 10s and eats prime.

    What is that fine hound's name?

  8. One of my favorite things he did was write the same story from two perspectives.

    Dance With Me is about a chick on vacation who hooks up with a local and her boyfriend is trying to locate her.  

    And he takes your hand, tenderly
    And he whispers sweet surrender
    Nothing, is how he feels about girls like you
    With your flip flop smiles
    And your big blue eyes on vacation

    Then "Guadalajara", with the dude on a business trip, hooking up with a 'holiday girl' is sort of the 'get back'.

    needs more victoria

    "She started on Rohypinol and ended up with me."
    First time I heard Isbell's "Relatively Easy" and his lines about

    "His woman took the kids and he took Klonopin
    Enough to kill a man of twice his size"

    I thought of that line from "Victoria"

    I wonder how many songs we can list that have drugs listed by name.  

  10. One of my wife's coworkers wanted us to name our daughter Roxanne.  

    Me:  No way
    Her:  But you like music.   
    Me:  I do...And you have obviously never listened to the lyrics.   
    1:  Every time someone would say her name, someone would start singing that song
    2:  It's about a hooker.  Not naming her after a hooker.
