I took over three years of college-level ASL and Deaf Culture classes, and was extremely involved in the local Deaf community, until COVID.

I know you said you don’t want another service, but SiriusXM is pretty cheap, and they have channel dedicated _entirely_ to the Boss: “E-Street Radio.” Live concerts, covers, alternate versions; they go deep.

I remember an interview with Seth Myers (can’t remember the source, sorry), when he noted that his mother was far more conventionally attractive than his dad. But she laughed out loud and often.

My iPhone 12 Pro today asked me “Would you like to answer?” and I said “Yes,” while wearing my AirPods Pro. Nothing happened. I still had to fish my phone out of my pants to accept the call before it went to VM.

I remember a TIME magazine article (I’m old) when “The Sopranos” came out, at the show’s peak popularity. In addition to the showrunners, the journo also interviewed an FBI agent who worked in the Bureau’s organized crime office. The agent said he enjoyed the show!
