Another music-heavy list this week. Including the promised articles about the 40th anniversary of Born To Run. Rolling Stone shared the full transcript of an interview they did with Springsteen 10 years ago for the 30th anniversary of BTR. Of course, the mythology of the album is that his career may have been over had it not been a success.…

Well, the first full week of school is wrapping up. There was some more grumpiness in the mornings as the week progressed. But mostly things have gone well. We’re already super busy in the evenings. And I’ve had a nice, lazy week around the house, thus the dearth of posts. But I’ve still saved some articles worth sharing. This week’s…

Finally getting the backlog cleared out. Some more tidbits about the rather excellent summer movie lineup of 1985. 14 Blockbuster Facts About the Summer Movies of 1985 I’m not sure why, but I’ve enjoyed Tiger Woods’ fall. I don’t get it because I absolutely loved him in his prime. It’s not like he was Lance Armstrong and cheating and lying…

A week or so behind, and a lot of long reads to share. Thus I’m going to split the offerings into two posts. The longer articles will be listed below. The rest will be shared tomorrow or Friday. First, Maciej Ceglowski wraps up his tales of traveling through the New Madrid earthquake zone. Confronting New Madrid (Part 2) Keeping it…

With the holiday last weekend, things have piled up a bit. So a veritable smorgasbord of interesting posts and articles to share with you this week. Following up on our viewing of Back To The Future earlier this week, here is one ranking of the best movies of the summer of 1985. Just look at that list. I could be…

Happy Fathers Day to all the other dads out there! Chuck Klosterman’s Billboard cover story on Eddie Van Halen made some waves this week. Especially when Sammy Hagar put a pointed rebuttal/response on YouTube. I think we can all agree that Michael Anthony is the only guy of the first five to be in Van Halen that doesn’t seem like…

Only three articles worth sharing this weekend. It’s kind of a tradition that there be a Joe Posnanski story included. So here’s his take on the LeBron vs. Jordan comparison. Such Great Heights As much as I hate to admit it, I’m beginning to be swayed that this is both a legit question and there are reasonable arguments for LBJ.…

Links Figured I should start the summer off right by getting the links out on the normal day. Tomorrow is the Champions League final. After a lengthy absence from the elite, Juventus is back in the title game after a surprise run through the knock-out stages. They were my first favorite European team; I adopted them after the 1994 World…

Good grief. Busy-ness (as opposed to business), laziness, a holiday weekend, and a general late-school year malaise have me well behind in sharing links. This period of inattention just happened to coincide with a flood of great things to share. So brace yourself, grab a beverage, shut your office door (or send the kids to bed if the hour is…

We have a truck-load of mulch being delivered shortly,[1] so some links to help you pass the time while I try to beat the rain. We’ll begin with basketball. This article is a year old, but got passed around again after the player who it focuses on, Cheick Diallo, committed to play his one year of college basketball at Kansas…
