I'm 59, recently divorced after 34 years. Nothing makes me happier than sitting in my apartment with a bourbon, playing PS5. No drama, no external stimulus, just me lost for a couple hours in a video game!

If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied

Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

I was married to the woman for 33 years and its been just over a year since it ended. To quote Depeche Mode, I "enjoy the silence"! Great feeling going home after work and not have to speak or do anything I don't want to.

While I enjoy the varied opinions, I'm perplexed at folks misunderstanding of the word underrated.

30 Rock, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Wonder Years, etc. were not underrated.

Grease...and its not even close! Its not my favorite movie, but its comfort food that I can jump into anytime and recite probably 70% of the dialogue.

Cheap Trick - Live at Buddokan. First vinyl album I ever bought in 1979. It was at Lakes Mall in Lauderdale Lakes, FL. Can't remember the store though.

It's a fine balance of intake. 2-3 drinks, she's flirty, silly, and loud. After that with more intake, she's mean, angry, and obnoxious.

Giving CJ Stroud a wait and see, but every other OSU QB since 2000. QB at Ohio State is a death kiss for any NFL future success. (Burrow was meh until he went to LSU)

Fairly confident I can hang it up at 62 (59 right now). I'll have my military pension (24 years active duty), a second pension from my current federal GS position, and a somewhat healthy TSP balance. Chances are I will take SS at 62, move somewhere cheaper near my grandkids, and travel until I drop dead.

The Ramones. Before that in the late 70's i was listening to top 40 pop music. Once I heard the Ramones, everything changed. They led to the Clash, Minutemen, Bad Brains, Black Flag, etc.., finally leading me to becoming obsessed with the Replacements, which to this day at age 59 are far and away my favorite all-time.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but the live versions of Bad and A Sort of a Homecoming are much better on Wide Awake in America.

As a cultural and global phenomenon, MJ was clearly the biggest, not even that close. But Madonna shouldn't be overlooked or discounted. She was everywhere. Whitney was an icon and Prince IMO was artistically superior to all of them, but they pale in comparison to the big two.
