After a few false starts, I think we’re finally settling into autumn weather around here.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees are out and it's a doozy
Pat Benatar
Dave Matthews Band
Depeche Mode
The Doobie Brothers
Whitney Houston
Judas Priest
Kraftwerk
MC5
Motörhead
Nine Inch Nails
The Notorious B.I.G.
Rufus featuring Chaka Khan
Todd Rundgren
Soundgarden
T.Rex
Thin Lizzy
I don't see how anything "feat. Chaka Khan" counts unless that was the name of the band. Could Rufus (sans Chaka Khan) be inducted separately?
Was Ms. Khan in the band?
Here I can't be impartial. I have those I would add, but only because I like them (Whitney, Motörhead, NIN, Soundgarden, BIG, Kraftwerk).
I can't compare them to the other artists in genres I don't like, or who peaked before I paid any attention.
I'm avoiding affirming DM's nomination for Free's sake.
Thanks. That DMB. DM, DB lineup would be a concert from hell for me.
All the rest have a lot of merit.
yuck.
Pat Benetar should be a shoo-in
A good half dozen were "they aren't in already?" for me. Benatar, Doobies, Whitney, Kraftwerk, Rundgren.
Probably others too. Priest, dunno if Thin Lizzy and T. Rex have enough counting stats. Others are too far outside my knowledge and/or tastes.
The Kling Klang Wing of the HOF is greatly lacking.
Soundgarden is interesting. One of my favorite bands from that era. Still think Chris Cornell was one of the top lead vocalists of all time in the rock and roll genre. Not sure if they are a HOF band by my standards, but by looking at some of the bands that have made it, they should be lock at some point. #everyonegetsatrophy
"excellent" is not a word I generally would expect to see associated with "lutefisk dinner."
A supper may be considered excellent all the while not considered edible
A Swedish-born folklorist in Mrs. Hayes’ department supplied some good-natured admonishment when I indicated I enjoy the stuff.
Scottsdale scored three in the eighth to defeat Salt River 6-5. The Rafters are 12-8 and lead Mesa by two games.
Royce Lewis was 1-for-4 with a walk, a run, and an RBI. He is batting .397/.455/.672 in 58 at-bats.
Luke Raley was 1-for-4. He is batting .170/.246/.264 in 53 at-bats.
Jovani Moran pitched one inning and allowed three runs on two hits and two walks. His ERA is 6.43 with 11 strikeouts and 10 walks in 7 innings.
Aguilas defeated the Toros 5-3. Wilin Rosario was 1-for-5 with two RBIs. He is batting .300/.462/.500 in 10 at-bats.
I went to this movie at the theatre and I noticed the Nine-Dash Line on the map immediately. (Though I misremembered how many dashes... thought it was seven.)
(Quick review: quite enjoyable kids-movie fare. Reminds me of "Home" as a tourism ad for China. The route taken makes absolutely no sense geographically other than to highlight a bunch of different Chinese sites.)
It’s been awhile if anyone would like to do a Parentgood column. Normal day would be this Thursday.
Speaking of movies ... el Camino?
I saw the first 15 minutes. No opinion yet.
As with the Deadwood movie, I’m attempting to hold off until I can get through the whole series.
Yes, I realize I’ve had 5 6 years to do so... but maybe an interest in seeing the movies will finally compel me to finish the shows.
I liked it. Typical BB fare. Nice little bowtie to Jessie's story. A hundred times better than that out-of-character-Hallmark-card of a Deadwood movie.
I loved the shot of ther many Jesses tearing up the apartment looking for the money. BB was always shot gorgeously, and the had some great visuals.
I agree totes with your spoiler.
The Twins announced their Diamond Award winners.
MVP, leadership, community service: Nelson Cruz MV Pitcher: Taylor Rogers Outstanding rookie: Luis Arraez Defensive POY: Byron Buxton Most improved: Mitch Garver Good guy: Kyle Gibson Upper Midwest POY: Nick Anderson
I had a ticket and sold it due to other obligations. Disappointed but the Current is live streaming it so #winning
A little too much excitement for my white bread tastes around here. I just went out my building to get a soda pop from the 7-11 next door. The Federales were congregating in the street with about 3 squad cars. Apparently a security incident (someone detained) AND a shooting two blocks away.
Fog of crime, but separate incidents as far as I could discern from our building security dudes.
Canada beat the USMNT. By 2 goals. And it should have been 5. Awful.
Minnesota Wild: "We can play the worst in Canada!"
USMNT: "Hold my beer"
They do have Dwayne De Rosario, so that's not so
/touches ear piece
I've just been informed that yeah, it was that bad. He retired almost 5 years ago

The timing for fall color seems to have lined up perfectly for our annual drive out to the Antebellum Lutheran church (with very old, oft-poignant churchyard) west of the People’s Republic for its excellent lutefisk supper.

I don't really disagree with any of these awards.
yep, co-sign
It appears that ex-Twin Jackie Hernandez has passed away.
Sleater-Kinney tonight. Will I see any of you?
