  1. As a completist, I own every Dylan album but must admit that there are many I've rarely played. For the past few weeks I've just been hitting shuffle on the entire collection-- It's a wild ride, man. So many fantastic deep cuts, especially on the Bootleg series. How in the hell did he not put "Blind Willie McTell" on an album? Or "Series Of Dreams" and "Dignity," both of which could have made "Oh Mercy" a masterpiece? Of course, you also run the danger of running into "Wiggle Wiggle" and that's two minutes you'll never get back...
  2. On Friday I made the hour-long drive to the Plano HEB because my autistic son loves that place. While we were checking out, the checker says, "You know we're going to kick your asses, right?" "Excuse me?" "My Aggies are gonna destroy you on Saturday. You won't wear that Texas shirt again." "Well, I guess we'll see, won't we," was my only reply. Yes, I'll be making that hour-long trip again today. And I will choose my check-out line very carefully.
  3. Chip Kelly is the OC who just called that abomination of an offensive game. His lazy ass should be fired immediately, not promoted. And this UCLA fan is loving every second of it.
  4. It’s weird to watch a crappy home game without having to listen to Lowell…but I like it.
  5. Just poured a vodka gimlet that was almost all vodka. I'm out of bourbon and had to watch the kid all day and didn't want to take him into a liquor store, so I'm going to order booze on UberEats for the first time. Let's get this done.
  6. Of course! We hit the LBJ location regularly and have even made a trip or two to the (much smaller) Plano location. There's an H.E.B. near the Plano Josey and he loves that place too. He's definitely my kid.
  7. We are definitely driving out to Arlington for a visit to Forever Young records. It’s his happy place (and mine too!). That should take up a few hours.
  8. I just remembered that all DISD schools are closed tomorrow, so I have to take care of my 6-year-old autistic son all day. That's probably going to minimize my planned heavy drinking self-medication throughout the day. It's going to be a long day...
  9. Voted today in East Dallas. Felt really, really good. Let's get this done.
  10. Already drinking the liquor in an attempt to alleviate stress. Go Dodgers.
  11. Saw James & Johnny Marr in both Austin & Dallas on Sunday/Monday. It was a pleasure to see Marr play guitar in person for the first time, and what can I say about James? Top five all-time band for me. If you know, you know.
  12. WTF with UTSA wearing orange jerseys??
  13. I’m a Uverse user in Dallas. A friend has Comcast and gave me his log in, and I was able to download their app to my phone and Roku and can stream ESPN with no issues. Many of the channels on the app are blacked out if you’re not on your Comcast Wi-Fi, but ESPN channels work just fine. Thank you John!
  14. Notice the lack of defensive (specifically secondary) players in your post and you have your answer.

    I have Uverse so it’s blocked on air and in the app, but I am able to watch the Spanish ESPN3 broadcast in the ESPN app on a Roku. ESPN3 link wouldn’t work on my phone app with same log in (weird).
  16. They could play a show made up entirely of b-sides and it would still be spectacular.
  17. I’m still glad Chip is gone, but…UGH
  18. I’m supposed to be at Jane’s Addiction/Love & Rockets right now here in Dallas, but both the wife and kid are sick as hell so I’m at home instead. Back in ‘89, I was supposed to see the same bill at the Back Room (!!!) but I lost my wallet on the shuttle bus that day and they wouldn’t let me in. I’m still fucking pissed.
  19. I ripped my vinyl copy of this album to digital a few years ago. I had actual free time before I had a kid.
  20. There are a ton of other songs from that era that are long gone. “Disco Duck” went to #1, and I think “Run Joey Run” did as well. Awful stuff. And yes, I owned them both on 45 back then too. But I also had “Magic Man” and “Walk This Way” because I loved everything.
  21. The Debby song popped into my head immediately when I saw the thread title. That shit was #1 for like 11 weeks in a row in early 77. I had the 45 as a kid. Do I own the album now? Of course I do.
  22. I applied for the first time this year and made sure that my 82-year-old golf fanatic father did as well. And holy shit, he just got the email.
  23. My OU seat selection process today was a disaster. I logged in earlier today to check out the process (as they recommend). When my scheduled time came at 2:20, it errored out every time I tried to access the site. I logged in on my phone (hard as hell to navigate so avoid if you can) and it let me select one ticket and then kicked me out again and wouldn’t let me back in. Ended up having to call and do it over the phone. No fun.
  24. Just got 8th row tickets for Judas Priest in Dallas in October. I’ll be taking my five year old son. If you think that he’s too young, well I’ll just let you know that he’ll be 6 by October. Seriously, the kid is a little metal head. I’ve always liked Priest but now I love them— all thanks to him.
