Not to brag, but I can keep pace with my god. Buddhas be eating!!

That record and I snatched up some late 70s singles at a thrift store are the extent of my knowledge. That syntax is terrible, I'm nervous drinking before the Royals game. 😃

With Brix, but I have admittedly not dived into the majority of the catalog. Is there a GTG on the Fall? Or do you just wanna school me a little?

There was a particularly brittle lookin woman that came into the bookstore I work at looking for something "vegan, gluten free and soy free" and I really wanted to take her by the hand to the Eating Disorders section. We were talking about recipes and she visibly blanched any time I talked about ingredients that…

The loudest are usually into it for the least amount of time, I've found. Youre talking about orthorexia, hiding a disorder behind "preferences," which is really sad.

Yeah, whatever reason you got into it (mercy/health/politics/environmental) the quickest way to ensure no one will take you seriously is by wearing this air of smugness at all times.

I'm a vegan, and I hate militant vegans. Those folk do waaay more harm than good.

I call my blender Grace of God, incidentally, so that works. Garbage Disposal is Shiva and unreliable oven goes by Trickster Coyote 😀

I feel like if you put those two world views in the blender you would whip up the first Stone Roses album.

That was priceless, along with everyone miming jacking off at each other

I'm not sure I'm comfortable knowing I'm the sort of guy who laughs at people being crushed and blood spraying and then hiccup vomits at a moldy sandwich. Hmm.

It's like military service in Israel, compulsory and probably unpleasant.

I believe this is just the moment Wreckx N Effect has been waiting for, lo these many years.

Or is it something worse? Such an incredible line. But let's not get too maudlin…I got some beer and the highway's free and I got you and baby, you got me/hey hey hey, whadya say, Delly darling?

The way him and the rest of the E street band ramp up the energy and the tension when he's singing about reminiscing on him and Mary falling in love and being teenagers makes me well up every time. Growing up with parents similar to the protagonists made that line "these memories come back to haunt me" reverberate so…

Bet this is Pan-ned by most critics.

Reading through the comments on this thread, which are all great arguments for different tracks being the superlative song, made me realize this is probably the most important album I own. Has a collection of solo acoustic tracks ever been this solid front to back?

Kawabata's early novel Scarlet Gang of Asakusa isn't his best but it's a really impressive melange of traditional Japanese storytelling and Western Modernism. Weird in a great way, highly recommended!

Little known fact: Before the E Street years Bruce busked all over Storyville in the '10s and '20s playing hits like "Born to Run Rag" and "Rosalita (Can I See Your Ankles One More Time)"

I know, right? but there weren't message boards when I was a teenager and my mouth already got me beat up enough without musical preferences being a variable.
