I would like to humbly suggest that “pushing one’s kids to excel” and “deciding before they are born that they must fulfill your own thwarted ambitions and micromanaging their lives toward that goal from birth onward” are not the same thing but are in fact quite different things.

John Daly calls that a Thursday.

Does this count as another major?

Not really sure that collapsing is equivalent to complaining. But ok Eddie.

Heart was the first major band to come out of Seattle (not including Hendrix).
