Well, I did say for better or for worse … too often, for worse, I guess.

[Cue up tired comments about how musicians, celebrities and athletes should just stick to what they know, and stay out of political or social issues … even though, for better or for worse, they often garner more of an audiences attention, and seem to often do more good than our elected leaders and appointed…
Agreed. I do think Teeth Dreams is a bit of a return to form, but still does not touch the magnificence of these three albums (especially the first two).
That's good meta … uh … commentary.
Yeah … he's "coming home soon;" he's not living on the moon … the title kinda tells us that.
Is this the scathing expose of NIMH I've been waiting for?
"Art Official Age is the freshest, liveliest thing [Prince has] done since 2006’s 3121. Instead, the popular and critical consensus seemed to be that Prince isn’t what he used to be—the prevailing public opinion for about two decades now." - For Your Consideration
Ask about the fuckin' T-Shirts!
A couple of buddies of mine with kids stumbled on these a while back … they truly are the stuff of fever-dream nightmares …
They were both there - Rodgers backstage, and Flynn was in the crowd.

Dammit. This show wasted such a promising premise, and two fantastic lead characters. I remember after Season 1, the various showrunners were promising a show akin to the Wire, but focusing on various border issues. Instead, this became a boring, rather generic procedural, that had very little local flavor. Too bad …
Alright, agreed on those points …. but the premise, the sprawl, the characters were, for the most part, fully formed. I felt like that "world" was well created, and the story chugged along (until the end, I agree).
What's good about King is that following him today is not following a formerly great author whose glory days are decades behind him … I think his recent work, especially Under the Dome, 11/22/63, his shorter pieces, etc. - have been top-notch.
No Singles?! God, I do love that movie … Citizen Dick forever!
KIT … Keep it together!
