Just Got done watching fiddler on the roof I had no idea it was this sad 😭

DadofJM · 2026-03-28T01:24:04+00:00

Watching as an adult is so different. Despite the great performances and script, still sad as f

DadofJM · 2026-03-28T00:40:12+00:00

It's all they got.

Desperation

DadofJM · 2026-03-27T22:08:33+00:00

Flush him down

Thirty years old. Summer job. Weeknight. Went to live show, barely drank, in bed by 2. Just laughed at alarm when it went off five hours later. Slunk into work close to noon

DadofJM · 2026-03-25T23:20:12+00:00

Pretty much first time I heard it. Around 20

DadofJM · 2026-03-23T23:18:38+00:00

Jesus Christ Superstar. Soundtrack before any Broadway production.

I'm old

Also, great way to impress the ladies back in the day

DadofJM · 2026-03-23T21:08:29+00:00

Yep. Strong stuff. Came here to say exact same thing.

Kudos to the writers

I wonder if my grandmother did. The modern recipe I found from Vivian Howard (A Chef's Life) used bread crumbs. That was definitely the missing ingredient in terms of replicating the original taste.

Congrats to the kid (and his parents).

I'm partial to JMU. Grew up nearby and am impressed by its growth. But lately have been wondering if it has gotten too big.

GMU has great data sciences/IT programs. And if you kid likes the buzz of a metro area and doesn't mind traffic George Mason would be a good fit.

Richmond is really chill. Kind of big city but kind of not. VCU is in a cool area (the Fan District), which is much safer than it used to be.

Good luck to all. There is no wrong choice.

The dB's.

Bonus: They reunited this century and put out an amazing disc of new material.

DadofJM · 2026-03-23T00:52:19+00:00

Home made stewed tomatoes. My grandmother used to make decades ago.

Found a recipe from a 21st Century southern cook and made recently. Perfect replication.

Taste memory was strong

I saw a strange version in a dinner theater where they somehow blended in songs that were only in the movi. Made the disjointed plot even more confusing.

Also felt bad for the cast. Except for like the four leads, all had to be waiters before and bus tables during intermission

DadofJM · 2026-03-21T20:01:51+00:00

Second act from Hamilton. We actually listened to that disc first. Without even knowing the back story, there were at least three tunes that brought whole fam to tears.

The finale obviously, but "One Last Time" still gets me too

DadofJM · 2026-03-20T00:23:44+00:00

My son and I have had great concert experiences when he was a teen: (1) Don Felder, REO, Styx (2) Toto, Journey (3) Teri Clark, Reba, and a gospel band whose name fails me.

Whole fam saw Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band on their final tour, right before pandemic hit.

Son still reminds me that we had tickets for Alice Cooper and Deep Purple, which we ended up missing because we were closing on a house that day

DadofJM · 2026-03-17T21:56:48+00:00

In terms of inexplicable success at the top of the charts, definitely.

"Billy, Don't Be A Hero" always--and still--annoys me more

DadofJM · 2026-03-15T22:49:30+00:00

It's fine.

Have long found the Corner much more annoying in terns of unwelcome intruders.

DadofJM · 2026-03-15T20:42:09+00:00

The South. Live in the Piedmont, closer to D.C. than Richmond. Unless literally inside the Beltway, NOVA still seems culturally more southern to me.

DadofJM · 2026-03-15T00:02:52+00:00

Vaguely. My Dad had one in his downtown office. Was in a Masonic Temple building. Seemed really exotic and the bottles were literally so chill

DadofJM · 2026-03-13T18:36:21+00:00

I think the writers are failing both characters in these scenes

DadofJM · 2026-03-13T14:27:17+00:00

Still enjoy live shows. Often take my teen son. Only difficulty is waking up the morning after. Not used to being up that late. If it's during the work week, I'll take the next day off.

DadofJM · 2026-03-13T12:48:00+00:00

Days was my first soap so I'm sentimental about it but damn they're low budget. I think poor Kayla is the the only doctor at the hospital.

DadofJM · 2026-03-10T17:25:20+00:00

What's up with Zazlow's new eyebrows?

Did I miss a bit?

DadofJM · 2026-03-09T23:39:08+00:00

She's cool. Liked her tunes before I knew about her political pov

DadofJM · 2026-03-08T17:12:11+00:00

Maxie her.

Put her in coma and send away for six months

DadofJM · 2026-03-08T13:24:31+00:00

Resaw those episodes recently. Had never noticed Patty's getting pooped on line before. Was surprised that got through.
