    In my efforts to further derail this thread from gravity/humility whatever I offer my 60 year old reflections. Went down to Rainey St with a buddy this pm who fortunately was paying for all way too much food and booze and other stuff that's only OK in Austin. Southwest Fest is going on and I used to have my internal compass set on that. Attended the first one in 95 or 96(?) and ended up at Sholz Garten smoking a hog leg Bob Marley with a friend in the great wide open. Gotta admit I was insufferably paranoid at the time but not so surprised nobody gave a shit especially the police. I graduated from UT in the 80s when the only law was the Golden Rule. Ecstasy was perfectly legal. 
    The doorman at any club on 6th Street could sling it in full view of the local popo without any repercussions whatsoever. Developed in the chemistry department at UT the same time frame as it was at UC Berkeley as I understand it but in my defense I was full of drugs at the time. Some things never change

    Anywho I guess the point of my old man yelling at clouds rant is that what I consider hipster doofuses were actually welcoming. I was an elected persecutor in southeast TX for 12 years, an assistant DA for 3 counties out that way and a county attorney pro tem when the elected one developed brain cancer God rest his soul. If you've followed my boring trevails I somehow ended up back in the 512 somehow. Like Brer Rabbit used to tell Brer Fox "don't throw me in that briar patch" until Walt Disney censored that shit and last time I checked Uncle Remus, the African American gent at the center of all that controversy was actually the fucking hero

    Again I'll discontinue my threadshitting and  just thank the Good Lord above for this blue island in a sea of unreasonably red (no CR intended that it is what it is. Much love to all of you and yours but you're all surly assholes so enjoy hell

  3. Had no idea about Jackie Fox. Just read her wiki page and what a wild life -- in the Runaways, contestant on Jeopardy, the Dating Game, and Millionaire, and got her JD at Harvard in the same class as Barack Obama.

  4. I'll add that if she's considering HRT, she needs to see someone that is knowledgeable and supportive about it. My wife went to her primary care doc -- a female in her 30s -- who basically told her to just deal with the symptoms because she doesn't believe in HRT and that menopause isn't such a big deal. What a fucking joke. Try dealing with two hours of sleep a night and hot flashes pouring sweat every 30 minutes, you fucking rube. So my wife dropped her and found a local HRT specialist. Things have turned around a ton (much better sleep, very few hot flashes, libido back to normal) but the biggest thing for her was being able to talk to someone who took her seriously and didn't make her feel like a whiny irritant. 

    She also found this article validating: https://www.everydayhealth.com/menopause/menopausal-women-arent-crazy-theyre-just-often-gaslit/

  5. Surly never disappoints. Which act had the most worldwide fame, played the first stadium show due to unprecedented demand for tickets, had every album release go to #1, had the largest TV audience for a musical act ever, stopped flights and traffic because of crowd size, held the top 5 spots on the singles chart in the same week, was the measuring stick for every musical act during and since their run, and still has new media content about them being released every year to huge audiences? 

    Nah, it's probably Elvis or Michael.

    As in - he's even more batshit insane than usual?

    Fuck you for not only insulting one of the greatest American songwriters ever, but also for insulting anyone with either a major mental illness or dementia.
