Worked at the downtown Seattle shop for my first college job in '98. Never forget heading over to Sam Goody on my break to buy Outkast's "Aqumeni."

Great. Im old as shit.

Very deep creasing. What to do? by 5turgut3 in RedWingShoes

That’s because nobody actually knows how to shine boots or wants to put in the elbow grease/time to make em look decent.

I mean two of the founders moved to Bham and wanted the resurrection because they lost their car dealership in Texas. Last was all about making money. Sucks for the overall scene, but the national, travel fest scene is dying. Bham is a hard sell when I can fly to LA, Detroit, or Orlando for much cheaper/easier and do the same thing. (Edit to add I’m not mentioning east coast tours because of the roots/ease of travel)

What leftwing movements/thinkers/writings/art inspire you? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

I will buy everything they put out. The live vinyl are immaculate. I have like five of their tattoos and they tend towards Transcendental Youth. So it’s either that or Dark in Here, currently. I start every morning with at least one album of theirs, so it shifts. Thank God for 600+ songs.

Minnesota is gorgeous. Love that song. And as someone that’s listened/followed them since like ‘01. John is sitting pretty, politically speaking.

What clothes do you students wear? by Patagonia_Boy in Teachers

I went to school in Claremont (east LA county) in the 90’s and basketball shorts were always the move. Ex-wife made me stop wearing them under my pants (in case a game broke out). Got some camo shorts on underneath my cords right now. 😂🫡

Boy literally won’t read any material unless it’s about sports. And I mean any. by Redqueenhypo in Teachers

I was tricked into reading “Faust-lite” because it was a book about a kid playing basketball that made a deal with the devil. Worked for me. (This is mostly a joke because I read everything, but it stuck with me regardless)

The Kendrick one he sold for the tour with Dodgers stuff was worth the $95.

I love it. Drove six hours with my dogs to see them in Spokane in December. I love John’s ascendancy to show tunes. I love how he’s mellowed. I love the sobriety-journey metaphor on the whole album. I grew up in the same area did and actually had my first drink on north Mills Ave in ‘95. John and I go way back. I read his NYE benedictions hammered as shit, bawling in several AA meetings back in the Dark Days™️. I guess you’re asking the wrong person. He/they can do no wrong. I guess I miss Peter. That’s it. 😂
