(BTW, I listened to Cobain's meltdown doing the acoustic "Where Did You Sleep last Night" on MTV Unplugged the other day. That still sends shivers down my spine. You can feel the man's soul aching to exit him in that final scream.)

For GOAT on blues, you have to consider Howlin' Wolf. And of course Willie Dixon (genius songwriter).

You saw 2 people have this "incident" in my 450sf apartment. You actually helped (thanks). What the flying fuck?

I log in for this, TM? Good good.

I'm worried.

It's clear that facts and logic are on the Dem's side in these hearings.

But the Republicans are talking louder and faster and repeat their points more, regardless of facts and logic.

Honestly, what are you worried about? Trump not being removed for office for the many high crimes and misdemeanors he's committed? The Republican Party ceding our government to obvious Russian influence? The ending of one Party's respect for the rule of law, our three branch system of government, and the Constitution itself? The abandonment of Democracy when such abandonment benefits the Republican Party? The destruction of any type of standard for lifetime federal court appointments? I can go on and on. But I need you to be more specific about what you're worried about.

Dude, Trump trails Bernie among the latest poll of registered voters. He’s only beating Pete by 4 points. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...-neck-matchups

Maybe you give Bernie the VP slot and Warren the Treasury Secretary post in exchange for them getting behind Joe?

I know it sounds nuts, but the punnet square here keeps requiring some place for Bernie and Liz.

Of course, we all know that Republicans are wired to circle the wagons and support the party, while Democrats are fractious and impossible to unify. Thinking that you can square that circle by picking the right two Democrats (or in Bernie's case, a Democrat and Bernie) is a fool's errand. It's so attractive because it's doomed to fail. One of these Democrats is going to turn out to be good at being other Democrats' second choice, and is going to consolidate support.

"Catrin" sings with MTT and the SF Symphony, and I have had, at several points in my [really] weird life, season tix to the Met Opera, the NY Phil, and the SF Opera. We currently have 2 different subscriptions to the SF Symphony - one to attend together and the other so I can see her sing.

So, to genuinely and honestly answer your question, nothing. I don't think of "classical" genre in the same way.

If I did, then I withdraw Cash. Richard Wagner is the G.O.A.T. The overture to Tannhauser is the greatest piece of music ever written, and anyone can disagree, but they'd be fucking wrong.

That said, I did recently answer the phone, thinking it was an amazon delivery. I told them I wanted to ban all guns, vote for Warren, and abort all children up to 6 years old.

Trump is "under-polling" (not a word, but you get it), by 8-15%
