The original Matrix trailer was such stylish mystery and intrigue. Media consumption volume of the average person was drastically less than today and its release predated wide broadband availability. IYKYK but that film dropped like an absolute hype bomb and deserved all the love & success it received.

People will come to work and say “oh sorry, I can’t read that since I’m not wearing my glasses” and I’m like “why would you go anywhere without glasses if you need glasses?” I just don’t understand it.

Just watched the Stop Making Sense A24 remaster in IMAX two weekends ago and it was absolute fire.

Oh fuck I know it

Oh yeah. Probably in 92 when it was a single for the album

My Dad chaperoned on a Boy Scout trip and we listed to local rock radio in the church van. Dear ol’ Dad sung along to this song and the scouts couldn’t believe that this old man could possibly know G n’R. He BLEW THEIR MIND and gained a lot of cred.

I actively think the devs blew it anytime I look behind a waterfall and it’s just more rocks.

Forced Retirement

I literally slapped myself in the face like in the movies. Then I pulled over for a 30 min nap when I got to a rest stop.

Oklahoma is not the Midwest. There’s a whole musical about them being western cowboys.

Worst Kendall Roy vibes only

I have heard this my entire life and now that I recently have kids and a home, I find it to be an insane take. If anything, the greater my knowledge of the world becomes the MORE liberal I am. I’m significantly more aware of rigged systems and injustice as I age.

You def won’t be able to play EVERYTHING. Probably most things actually. But I bet there is some song you like or your parents kinda liked (that you don’t mind) that only uses A, D, C, G, Am, Em, Dm.

In addition to finding some online instruction, I highly recommend looking for a song you actually want to play instead of just folk songs and traditionals. Unless you’re a die hard jazz fan, I’m certain if you made a list of 10 songs you’d be able to find a tune within reach. There are so many songs built with open chords that most beginners learn first, defiantly seek them out!
