Hurt was an album track that Cash covered and does anyone talk about Sounds of Silence covers?

If the rules are: Original was a hit; cover is even greater... Respect was a Top 5 R&B hit for Otis Redding but then became Aretha's goddamn signature song: open.spotify.com/track/7s25TH...

Same. I don't know that I'd want every game to look like this but I like the change of pace and especially that it throws more focus to the game itself.

I'd watch a kung-fu movie where O'Neill Cruz and Elly De La Cruz have a Muay Thai fight scene.

One low key great thing about PNC Park is that the 3 Pittsburgh pro teams have such beautifully harmonious colors that you see a mix and they all look great together.

Jordan Hicks went out to California for college and grew a goatee and really came into his own, but now he's home for Thanksgiving and everything's just like it was before. #STLCards

In his defense, he seemed to be struggling with the electronic system, so it's possible the thing just shut down right there.

YES. We used to scavenge used bookstores for old self help books. A favorite: Appoint yourself Chief Justice of your own life. It's somehow comforting to know that people have been saying the same shit forever and nobody's getting any better.

Love a coach (in what, early 90s?) assuming his players are familiar with a light John Wayne / Lee Marvin adventure pic from 1963.

I mean, the entire canon of John Ford, from Stagecoach to The Searchers and Liberty Valance. But don't stop with just the big name westerns. Fuck around with Donovan's Reef, then we'll talk.

I think the strangulation of physical media is a huge factor in film mattering less to people. You loved some silly-ass movie? There it was on your shelf, begging for a replay. The director sat down to do commentary. Its presence in your home was tangible. Now it’s just a blip on just another app.
