June 22, 2024: Missed Connections
I had the green and was taking a right at a corner which had a gas station, and on the other side of that corner from the gas station, someone decided to peel across the street to take a right on the other side just as I was turning. I thankfully saw them about to do the stupid thing before they did it, so I was able to slow down and gave them a bit of horn for being a jagoff. Instead of being meek and apologizing for me slowing down and not t-boning and killing them, the young lady thought obscenities directly at me was the way to go. Buncha savages in this town.

Friday Music Day – Happy 30th Birthday Bee Thousand
Guided By Voices Bee Thousand is 30 years old today! I wrote about a long time ago at the WGOM and you can access that here.
Classic Album Review: Guided By Voices — Bee Thousand (1994)
Anyway, I'm still a GBV geek all thanks to this album. So a question for the group, is there a single album, song, concert, etc., that you can look back on and say, "yup, that was the moment I became a fan of this band.
Lena Lovich – I think we’re alone now
