Aging Somewhat Poorly

I’m well aware that the music I grew up qualifies as oldies now, and that rock is basically old people music. But I didn’t realize how bad it was until Collective Soul became part of a “look at how old and gross this feller is” commercial.

Quote of the Day

“I’ve got people in my family that are to the right of Attila the Hun. And when people tell me, like, ‘How can you platform that person on your show?’ I go, ‘I platform my uncle every fucking Thanksgiving.’ And by the way, I love him. He’s a three-dimensional human being who has qualities that I really admire — things about him. And we’ve lost that. We’ve lost the ability to love people because we litmus test at every point, in every single moment.” – Jon Stewart

It’s A Good Thing

I’m not a Dodgers fan at all, but I’m glad they won the World Series. I sincerely hope they win every World Series from here until the economic system in baseball more closely resembles the other major sports leagues. As a fan of a smaller market team, I’m sincerely losing interest in the whole thing. Yes, the Pirates are mismanaged. But so what?

In football, you can build a dynasty in Kansas City. In basketball, fans in San Antonio and Milwaukee have a lot to be excited about. In hockey, you can build a dynasty in Edmonton. In baseball, even if a small market team like Florida or Kansas City wins it all, they have to burn it all down because they can’t afford their players anymore. So go Dodgers! The more people drift away from the game, the better.
