As a human being, I am inclined to believe that her reaction is sincere, and the bar is low, but I appreciate seeing it. Depends on which way she runs with the ball, I reckon.

I'm a huge heavy music guy but haven't listened to much old fashioned metal in a while, and this stuff is good. Amazing drumming. Duplantier is one of the few guys rn routinely releasing drum solos.

I still don't let them cite it -they must find the primary, but turns out letting a specific type of nerd lord over a very specific sliver of information, like Smaug over a pile of treasure but on a global scale, is actually a pretty good way of insuring its accuracy. Who would have guessed....

Wild to me that in 20 years Wikipedia has gone from being the butt of Stephen Colbert pranks to me, a college English and media literacy instructor, saying "this is actually one of the best portals to good information on a topic that you can find."

Huntsville has the highest concentration of phds in the Southeast. I saw my first concert there at Werner Von Braun arena. It leans conservative but it's definitely not a place full of backwards hillbillies. You have to go at least 10-15 miles out of town for that.

As middle aged fella, this feels like my first real generational culture clash, something I see as a diminishing of quality and standards tailored specifically for people younger than me. Portnoy and McAfee remind me of the worst kind of guys I went to college with.

As a formerly poor, precocious, rural kid with insufficient parents, I feel he's done a disservice to the brand. I saw a lot of good people destroyed by terrible dysfunction exacerbated by the lack of sufficient safety nets. Chalking it up to disposition is cruel. My own success is a fluke.
