Just finished your book. Liked it. Read my wife your line about finding something you could do better than John Bonham. She liked it.
Pretty good husband and father. Godawful artist and musician, but working on that. Far left Democrat.

Sounds like you've had enough museuming for today, and should do something else.

I have a cousin named Jen Traub. I'll see if she wants to do brunch.

Yup. I first thought of calling it "Malevolent Blues Seal", because of his expression and the background. But other people didn't see the malevolence that I did.

I think you'd like the book I'm reading now, CALIFORNIA FAULT by Thurston Clarke. Our narrator travels along the San Andreas Fault, learning about California and Californians and earthquakes.

Good song, but dated slang. A "suicide blonde" means she dyed (!) by her own hand.

AC/DC does some funky, off-beat syncopation. They sound just like any other hard rockers until you try playing along. BACK IN BLACK is a good example.

Reagan/Bush stood up to left-wing tyrants, "Tear down this wall." While arming and supporting right-wing tyrants all around the globe. They weren't against tyranny. They were against liberalism.

William Shatner's cover of this song is surprisingly not terrible.

Eh, those are the folks who believe they were abducted by aliens, Obama is a Muslim, and homosexuality is a sin. Theirs is a sad little world, but they will die before admitting they're wrong.

That's so shameful. Marrying a guy from Journey.

OK, that makes sense, but you might want to emphasize who the "you" is in your post. I didn't get who it's aimed at.

I think of him like Erwin Rommel. He had smarts and courage, but used them in service to the worst people on Earth.

It's a great movie, but be aware going in that it is hyper-violent. Try to watch it uninterrupted on your biggest screen, volume up loud. It's an immersive, horrific, beautiful experience.
