If you're going to cover an indelible classic, make it yours.
If you're going to switch up genre, don't be a cookie cutter. Invent a new one.
Do that and you get David Draiman and Disturbed bandmates killing "The Sound of Silence."

I supposed it comes from me being woke and the compassion associated with that, but I was a bit shocked that my first reaction to this was "this fellow is pitiable."
But that passed pretty quickly. I recall the pity.

When the plot presents me with a worn-out clichรฉ right out of the gate.
Wrapped a reread of Timequake. Wild genre-busting romp through the space-time continuum with Kurt, the recurrent Kilgore Trout and a literary who's who that comprises KV's #writingcommunity. Not his strongest, but it's a feat to even break his top 10. Read them all!

I never give proper props to 90s music. Too many decades. Losing track.
E.g. Everlast's "What it's like" is a fine piece of songcraft.

'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose. ๐ต

Turns out U.S. gold medalist Alysa Liu's amazing skills extend to the baseball diamond. Check out her first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game last year.
A born entertainer, that one. Bravo Alysa!

I'm going to say the quiet part with a bullhorn. In this case, they haphazardly axed a cost-effective health and nutrition program even as they were introducing #MAHA, led by the shirtless, toilet-bowl-lid-cocaine-sniffing #RFKJr.

Amazing coincidence (divine providence?) that you made this comment here. I agree, in fact I'm re-reading Thich Nhat Hanh's Living Buddha, Living Christ. That's me holding it at my desk.
The book examines Buddhist and Christian traditions and discusses how their teachings complement each other.
