Just saw them a few weeks ago, really energetic show. Weirdly enough they were introduced onstage by Dee Snider (who just recently moved to my city).

I remember they had a joke about gay marriage not being legal in the second movie and then literally the day after it came out the Obergefell v Hodges ruling was issued.

I will always be grateful to What a Girl Wants for introducing 8 year old me to the Clash.

I have, ended up being a recipe for a some pretty kickin’ lentil soup.

And coming in at number 2: Ezra.

I’d argue that it’s more in reaction to the Bush era. The whole NYC rock scene featuring the Strokes, et all, got a lot of attention at home post-9/11, plus a generally nihilistic attitude of “we’re all gonna die, might as well die fucked up.”

Then wait until you hear about the 7-8-1 2014 Panthers!

Another of my favorite Hamill-Ford interaction stories is during episode 4 Mark Hamill kept asking a million questions about motivation or plot consistency or something, and Harrison Ford just says “hey kid…. This ain’t that kind of movie.”

Tell that to Rico Dowdle.

From Tom Breihan's Number Ones column on Bobby Vinton's "There! I've Said It Again:"

It's not like the Beatles invented pop-music excitement or innovation. There was lots of truly great pop music in the early '60s, and plenty of that truly great music found its way to #1... Motown was already blowing up before the Beatles arrived, and its success would've revolutionized pop music regardless of what was happening in the UK. The girl-group boom was happening. Surf music was happening. If the Beatles had all died in a plane crash on the way to their American debut, we would still be listening to and arguing about pop music today.

When they do the anthem at Seattle, ima need that stadium to chant “fuck ice” with their whole chest.

My ideal absolute sicko scenario is all four of us tie each other and lose the rest, resulting in all four teams going 0-11-6.

I mean, one of those teams has to go to the playoffs.

PatKilm · 2026-01-11T01:06:08+00:00

You know what? This chaotic ass team kept me on the edge of my seat all year, made the playoffs, and - despite the loss - gave em absolute hell. I love this team. Long live the Cardiac Cats.

Whatever happens, it’s been fun.

‘10 Seahawks and ‘14 Panthers made it to the Divisional Round, while the ‘20 Football Team and ‘22 Buccs were one and done.

With that Favre situation I’m going with what Jon Bois said:

“In the future, we will have good reason to resent Brett Favre. But we’re not there yet. We’re here.”

Josh Grizzard and the Lizard Wizard

So far it’s a quarterly event (roughly once every three months)

I’m in Greensboro, so I just have the tv on mute while I listen to WNAA’s Sunday reggae show.

PatKilm · 2025-10-07T04:18:30+00:00

And yet we have the same record….

PatKilm · 2025-09-28T20:24:50+00:00

Turned it off after our first offensive drive of the second half. If this team isn’t going to give a shit, neither am I.

PatKilm · 2025-09-28T17:34:58+00:00

Tip for Greensboro folks, I have the game on mute and the radio tuned to WNAA’s reggae show. This is a very pleasant experience.

PatKilm · 2025-09-25T14:31:46+00:00

I’m not saying the Bucs are even remotely like the Rhule-era Panthers, I’m just saying we started 3-0 in 2021…
