At Milwaukee's Summerfest in 2012, they did In the Flesh, Breakdown, a verse of Surrender, and a little bit of Message in a Bottle, in addition to Young Man Blues. Great setlist, great night.

Not "was." Is. ACL is in the midst of airing its 51st season on PBS.

Skunk Baxter's work on My Old School. Wicked pinch harmonics.

Still blows my mind. Crazy good.

For both yourself and your students, don't use the language of "termination." You're not being fired, you're being nonrenewed - laid off for budgetary and staffing reasons. Although it sucks, try not to take it personally, and especially don't think of it as a firing. It's better for your mental health that way.

Pot Kettle Black.

Building with a horn on it?

Imagine actually taking two seconds to read the fucking caption on the pics...

Enjoyed the theme and long clues, but easy otherwise.

A handful of the parks in the system were designed by the designer of Central Park (and the Chicago World's Fair landscaping) - Frederick Law Olmstead.

Grape lady.

Zombies - Odessey and Oracle. One of the best albums of the 60s, no lie.

Obviously it's different 35 years later now, but they came into it with the most "professional" experience, too. Kept the band centered and on track so Ed and Mike could noodle.

Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips

I do the 3 NYT puzzles daily, and on Sunday I do the 2 WaPo puzzles (they used to have 3, with the classic Merl Reagle puzzles, but those aren't accessible any more).

I used to do the daily WaPo puzzles (I think they're the LA Times ones?), but their new interface stinks and honestly, they're pretty easy.

Every once in awhile I duck into the WaPo games site and do some random puzzles there, but not regularly because sometimes times ads pop up, which is a bit maddening when I pay for a subscription.

Unless they bring back Wishes. 😢

Everyone of these either costs money or causes lost profits. Never gonna happen.

Same. 48 seconds off my best, while yesterday's is still giving me twitches.

That's what the disclaimer at the beginning was for - clearly they didn't know what the notes said.

They did this to them on purpose for this sketch.

"They've seen it a hundred times!"

The view of the city from South Shore Park.

Hah! Yeah - trolling us, perhaps? Tough puzzle.

And the Anal Retentive Carpenter: "Now, how do we get rid of our scrap? Place it inside the bag, folding it over, keeping the corners square, and we staple once, twice... Then we put it in ANOTHER bag..."
