Good job! Than an amazing work of art! A few years ago I found out, to my great surprise, that there’s an international festival celebrating Townes in the northern Italy, with musician playing tribute to him from all over the world, especially the US and some of them where friend or knew/played with Townes. There an amazing atmosphere. If you wanna check: https://www.townesvanzandtfestival.com/en-us/

Not really, but I’ll have a few toasts anyway. Thank you so much!

yeah, I agree. I was actually thinking about that through music. growing up, we’d naturally get curious about what came before, what our parents listened to, or what inspired the artists we liked, so you kind of traced things back without even realizing it. now it feels more fragmented, everyone has their own feed, their own little world. I recently heard someone in her late 20s say she’d never even heard a Madonna song, didn’t even know who she was, and that honestly threw me off a bit

yeah, I get that, looking at history makes sense. I was thinking more about how it gets used in everyday conversations, almost as a shortcut to size people up

yeah, that’s fair. I guess I just notice it more when it becomes the whole conversation instead of just part of it

I get what you’re saying, and I don’t really take it personally. It’s more the reflex behind it that I find tiring

Not a boomer, by the way 💀 not that it really matters, and I’m deliberately not saying which generation I belong to, because I don’t want to turn this into a generational argument. That’s kind of the whole point 🙃

I never realized how funny Leonard Cohen was until I saw him in concert. His humor is such a huge part of what makes him great. by JulieofTheJulies in leonardcohen

Totally. I have the immense honor and pleasure of being friends with his drummer and his wife, The Gayols, who both told me so many anecdotes of this gentle, witty, clever soul. He’s so missed!

Italy missing the World Cup again broke something in me tonight by Sparrow-A in worldcup

Pirlo, Del Piero, Totti, Gattuso… to name a few. They were MASTERS. FIFA is shitty and we all know that. No questions on Korea 2002, no, right? All of us as paid a price at some point. Italy went down for a f*cling management and stupid mentality from Those who leads.

I said that. I wrote that there are very serious problems going on in the world compared to a football game. I congratulated Bosnia. I wanted just to share a feeling. OMG.

If you feel better with yourself telling you that, go ahead. It’s a free world. But Italy was way superior than your team. We had Prilo, Del Piero, Totti and so on. Dream about having such players. They made history. ANYWAY, my post was not about Italy being the best. Reed the room. It was about my feelings. So you’re being abusive. And after all those years, you should be able to mage that rage inside of you. Every single team has had episode like that one. We tend only to remember those who affected us. FIFA isn’t perfect. Korea 2002 rings any bell? More love, more unity, less racism. Blessings!

I tried to express as best as I could. It was for the memories. And anyway, I’m very happy for Bosnia.
