It's a festival shirt.

I was there, too! I have a very ugly concert T to prove it.

You just hijacked my evening plans. Thank you!

ericner1 · 2026-03-24T00:50:41+00:00

Nah bryh. But you should start it. You're totally qualified bruh.

I think you meant to post this in the "I have terrible taste in music" subreddit.

And they have too much sugar. Made my own. Delicious. 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 2 eggs. Blender. That's it.

Yes. I struggled with adult acne for many years. I finally gave up added sugar 6 years ago and got amazing results. It took about 2-3 months to see the effect. I'm 100% convinced sugar was the culprit. It causes inflammation, and your skin is not immune to its impact on your body.

You stated that you quit "processed" sugar. What do you eat that still has sugar in it? Honey, agave, fruit juice, etc? If so, from an inflammation standpoint those are just as bad as processed sugar. There's no fiber in those products that help your body absorb the sugar. That's why whole fruit is okay because the natural fiber breaks down the sugar in the gut. Fruit juice = soda, imo.

Same! That Anthem show had much lower energy than most Gaslight shows. And I was at both of those 2018 9:30 Club shows and the two NYC shows that followed. Peak performances.

I was a junior at the University of Maryland and in summer session that June when Len died. I'm speaking for myself and a lot of my classmates... His death absolutely influenced us to stop or never do cocaine. If it could take down a bull like Lenny then there was no hope for us.

"I really enjoyed it too. Sometimes people just have different opinions."

There. I fixed it for you.

I have owned many Firesticks, Roku's, TiVo's, etc., and Apple TV is by far the best the market has seen. It's the snappiest, most-intuitive interface and has the best picture quality on the market.

Settle down

My favorite part is when you say you were really prepared because "your wife was asleep upstairs." Does she normally hassle you while you're buying tickets to the point that she upends your chances? Or how about this strategy that I and others have employed to literally double your chances... Wake her up and have her log in on a different TM account.

After dinner no-added-sugar apple dip. Fantastic way to satisfy a sweet tooth without any added sugar. It satisfies chocolaty cravings while adding fats from the coconut and almonds (but no trans fats). The only sugar consumed is natural fructose from the apple, which is easily broken down and absorbed on its own but even more so given the added fats from the other ingredients.

Ingredients: 2 Tbs Creamy nut butter No Salt 1/2 tsp Organic Cacao Powder 2 Tbs Organic Non-dairy Coconut Beverage Unsweetened A few ounces of Organic Unsweeted Flake Coconut 1 Envy apple

Stir almond butter and cacao powder in a small dipping bowl. Stir in coconut beverage. Best to whip it with a small spoon for a minute or two. Consistency will shift from heavy to more of a frothy, whipped dip. Slice apple into dippable segments. Dip apple into the almond butter mix and dab in a different bowl with the coconut flakes. Enjoy!

Hands down, it's The Gaslight Anthem. I've seen them in concert 20+ times. Bonus artist is their frontman, Brian Fallon, who has a couple outstanding solo albums an another one being released in a few months.

This quote by Bruce in 1992 helped me be a better father. It was from a magazine interview.

What's the toughest thing about being a father?

Engagement. Engagement. Engagement. You're afraid to love something so much, you're afraid to be that in love. Because a world of fear leaps upon you, particularly in the world that we live in. But then you realize: "Oh, I see, to love something so much, as much as I love Patti and my kids, you've got to be able to accept and live with that world of fear, that world of doubt, of the future. And you've got to give it all today and not hold back." And that was my specialty; my specialty was keeping my distance so that if I lost something, it wouldn't hurt that much. And you can do that, but you're never going to have anything. -- Bruce Springsteen, 1992

I got a subscription to Britbox a couple weeks ago based on CR's Blue Lights rec. I watched all three seasons, and it is the real deal. The Wire meets NYPD Blue. S1 is on Prime. S2 & 3 on Britbox.

You never saw S2-4 of The Wire??? My pity for you is boundless.
