Bruce Springsteen\u2019s Tracks II<\/em> set came out a few weeks ago. I\u2019m not a big enough fan to wade through all the songs, but I did sample the ones highlighted in the various articles that dropped at the same time. Naturally, Steven Hyden had the best of the bunch.<\/p>\n

Another Side of Bruce Springsteen<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

At some point I lost touch with Joe Posnanski, I believe it was when he took all his posts behind a paywall and stopped writing regularly for any commercial sites. Thankfully I was forwarded this piece and see that it looks like his site is free again. Or at least partially free?<\/p>\n

For baseball fans my age, the 1979 All-Star Game was a keystone moment in our sports lives. The All-Star Game as an institution was awesome to us because of Dave Parker\u2019s throw. That was the first All-Star Game I ever watched. While I don\u2019t watch the game much anymore – tonight I\u2019ll likely be watching Slow Horses<\/em> on my iPad while I have the Fever game muted on the TV – I still get a little tingle when it comes around. Its roots are in that night I sat on my aunt and uncle\u2019s horrible brown shag carpet and watched Parker unleash a missile from right field.<\/p>\n

The 1979 All-Star Game drew a 45 share. Yes, it was a Tuesday night, and there was nothing else on television, but forty-five percent of all the televisions on in America were pointed to the Seattle Kingdome for that game. There were 115 million fewer people living in America in 1979 \u2026 and yet 24 million more people watched that All-Star Game than the one last year. It was just that big a deal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cBet\u201d \u2014 On Dave Parker, and THAT Throw<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Both a fascinating piece about how film works, and a reminder that George Lucas kind of sucks.<\/p>\n

This is not the \u2018Star Wars\u2019 you thought you knew<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

A disturbing look at why the wildfires in Canada never seem to go away. Zombie fires? Seriously?<\/p>\n

Why Canada is riddled with wildfires that burn year-round<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Wait, I thought liberals were supposed to be the snowflakes.<\/p>\n
