Shout out to authors @andrewluria.bsky.social , Tyler Bridges, and Craig Thomas Blake. Having attended the memorable Cal-Stanford 1982 Big Game, I enjoyed how each of these writers has found inspiration in a few moments of chaos.

My father, very proud of his sons. September 12, 1981, Ross-Ade Stadium, West Lafayette, Indiana. We concurred that it WAS less filling.
Happy Father’s Day! This is a photo of the GOAT Dad (with Arnold Palmer).
Inspired by yesterday’s joyous performance, it’s Vinyl Friday! Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key of Life (1976)
XLIII years ago this week. Today’s TSA might have concerns. Happy 51st, Irrelevant Week, and congratulations to Red Murdock! Embrace the randomness and chaos, and know that you have an army of fans rooting for you.
Well-spent $3 at the used-record store. Great chronicle of the first decade of my half-century of Bruce fandom. I keep rechecking the math, and, yes, 50+ years. It ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive.
It’s Vinyl Friday! Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes - Hearts of Stone (1978)
47 years ago tonight. That was a fun night/morning - genuine American Graffiti vibe. The World Will Never Be The Same.
Our National Parks are America’s best idea. Bowman Lake in Glacier National Park.
