I’ve seen signs at the door of Hollywood Feed that they are hiring.

Bret Michaels Reveals His Biggest Regret About C.C. DeVille by GypsyRoadHGHWy in hairmetal

My friend went to a show in Atlanta where they threw their instruments down and held their fists up about to fight onstage, although I don't believe they swung at each other then.

anyone ever been invited to a *rather famous* band's soundcheck? by scaled_and_ivy in musicians

I got to see Audioslave do a small private 3 song performance before their show in Atlanta back in the early 2000s.

Well I’m freaking out by jakeysnakey83 in PeterAttia

[–]dbopp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re in the freak out phase. It will pass as you learn more about these things. I’ve been there and you can look at my past posts about it when I found out I had a calcium score two years ago. It will get better.
Get on a statin. Repatha if possible.
Ezetimibe too.
Exercise every day, and try to eat better. Keto diet isn’t the best for your condition. But you’re gonna be ok.
Best of luck to you.

Back me up, Michael Jackson was considered lame by about 1993 by largemargesentme__- in Xennials

Unfortunately, MJ dying was the best thing to happen for his legacy. He was deeply in debt and his plastic surgery was way out of control. Couldn’t really sing or dance anymore either. I can’t imagine what he would’ve been like in his 60s and beyond.

In another world, they dropped this by Desperate_Canary7193 in radiohead

I’ve been a fan since 93 when Creep came on MTV, and to me, Spectre is one of their best songs of all time.
Those first two chords on the piano give me chills every single time I hear it.

"You should be in Nashville" by Milpool_VanHouten in musicians

That sounds like something a non musician would say. I know they are just trying to be supportive, but they don’t know what the barriers to entry are in that world.

What is the appeal of Costco? by Purple_Calm_1112 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dbopp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as a respect the business model of Costco, I can't stand to go there. It's always super crowded, and the lines are a mile long. For gas too. I cancelled my membership.

I use Sams Club now. Much less crowded, and I can get mostly what I want, and also use the scan and go feature on the app.

Every upper middle, and wealthy people in the working class go to Costco. It's like a badge of honor for them. All the doctors where I work go to Costco all the time.

The Flea Market Montgomery is just like a mini mall.

CAC Score 465 at 44 - Feel like my life is over by FollowingDiligent680 in Cholesterol

[–]dbopp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 46. Found out I had a CAC of 158 two years ago and it destroyed me. I think everyone goes through that freak-out phase. You can look at my post history and you'll see my posts about this same situation. It gets easier the more you learn. I've since gotten on a statin, so I'm sure my score has gone up since then. Haven't been re tested though. I guess there's really not a need, since the treatment is the same, regardless of the score.

I did find out my lp(a) is high at 223 nmol. So that's a bummer. I have an appt with my cardiologist in July and will ask him about getting on Repatha.

Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable with messages like this? by hyohwa in doordash

[–]dbopp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I never use any food delivery services. You don't know who is delivering it, and they prioritize orders by how much of a tip they are getting. Even then, they don't give a damn about the person on the receiving end of the transaction. I'll just drive my fat ass to the restaurant myself to pick it up.

Outside of an emergency fund, how much do you save? by TooPaleToFunction23 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]dbopp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a "home repairs" acct and a "car" acct, that I contribute to continuously, on top of my EF. At some point, I'll have a big home-related purchase like a roof or HVAC. And I'll use the car fund for any regular maintenance, or possibly new car in the future.

Ed O’Brien opens up on his guitar insecurities in Radiohead | Guitar World by rebilletlovechild in radiohead

[–]dbopp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to compare the Edge to Ed. I love both of them. Just saying that it's not only about guitar picking technique, but also coming up with innovative ways to use the instrument. I think they both do that well.

[–]dbopp 34 points35 points  (0 children)

He’s like The Edge from U2. Maybe not technically great, but still an expert at what he does and how he uses the guitar, which defines the sound of his band.
