Thinking of Ozzy and playing Sinatra’s “My Way” in my head. I watched a bunch of videos on his last performance in Birmingham, what a life.
Because of Ozzy I’ve gotten to experience great drummers: Bill Ward, Randy Castillo, Tommy Aldridge, and my all time favorite: Mike Bordin.
Listening to “In My Life” from 2005’s Under Cover album.
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert should bring their stuff to PBS (and maybe even run for office).
Speaking of, starting at $5 per month (or $60 per year) gets you access to everything PBS through their PBS Passport donation/subscription service.
I’ve had the CD since I was 18 or something. Pure bossa, as if the musicians were in your living room. You can hear the clinking of the ice in the whiskey glass, the lighting of the cigarettes. Super excited for this vinyl copy I just ordered.

I guess I’m continuing my “we are not a serious people” series.
Hour 5 of slow cooking some baby back ribs at 225. The mosquitoes are coming after me. Turning up the heat and basting soon.
Man, Matt Cameron left Pearl Jam. I wonder what his next gig will be. I really enjoyed his 3rd Secret stint. He and Kim Thayil go so well together.
Momma bird feeding her babies amongst a group of people on a covered deck. True punk.
The boy crawled into our bed around 3 am. I’m certain he folds his body in half while he sleeps in order to maintain his head on the pillow and his feet on my face. Anyways, I’m awake.

People are shocked to discover they need to fact-check ChatGPT and I’m having the uncomfortable realization that they never fact-checked their uncle’s Facebook posts, their friend’s medical advice, or literally anything Google’s top result told them, and suddenly the last decade makes sense…
