John Mayer’s latest is pretty much a perfect pop song in many ways, and you can tell how good it is because it’s even great in a stripped-all-the-way-down solo acoustic guitar version.
I decided to take the new song for a spin on acoustic guitar. I can’t thank you enough for embracing this 🚂 track the way you have. It makes me even more excited for you to hear the album.

re: #202 No Malarkey!
That beats me. When I was in high school, I went to an event called the Golden Plate awards for high schoolers to meet high achievers. Among the celebrities I met were Tom Landry, Ed Asner, Larry Hagman and Sam Ervin.
I never met anybody famous.
I did get a Letter of Commendation personally from Admiral Michael Mullen (then a rear admiral in charge of COMFAIRMED) at quarters.
I think that comes as close to “famous” as I can get.

Living in LA, famous people I met
My work put me in contact with lots of celebrities. Great to talk to but there was ONE CENSORED ASSHOLE who was a real jerk because CENSORED refused to turn over their birth certificate.
I was in a Pioneer Chicken back in the 80s, Buddy Hackett came in and asked for 20 wings and Cole slaw. Yep he ate all of them and said nobody made wings that good.
Sean Connery and his wife dined twice at Taylor’s Steak House only a couple blocks from me. Sure had folks laughing.
I saw Avery Brooks at Canter’s Deli and that fella can pack away the food! He had two Reubens and lots of potato salad. He chatted with the staff and let folks take his picture…as soon as he put his sandwich down!
Played chess with Leonard Nimoy at the old Steiner Chess Club in Beverly Hills.
I was at the JC Penney’s in Santa Monica buying clothes at the cashier’s table, he was smiling, turned around and Peter Graves was there buying some pants. I said, WOW! He replied that he was glad I didn’t ask him about gladiator movies…which had me laughing.
Phyllis Diller came to the office to file for benefits, she arrived in a Rolls and we “rolled out the red carpet for her”. Oh she was so charming.
Jimmy Doohan would hold court at the old Tudor House Friday afternoons for high tea with his family.
Oh so many others…

I’ve always wondered how this works in concert with the idea that people need religion to keep them on a proper moral path. If I’m born damned, why shouldn’t I lie, cheat, steal and murder my way through life?

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) tripled down on his assertion that the attack on the U.S. Capitol wasn’t all that bad or dangerous.
Johnson, who didn’t encounter any attackers on Jan. 6 and apparently hasn’t viewed the closed-circuit camera video showing what happened that day. According to Johnson, he can tell it wasn’t an “armed insurrection” because people were walking within the ropes.

Yeah, but how does that help keep the peasants in line?
re: #28 JOE 🥓
Even without the Puritan work ethic, the problem remains that if any god was omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent, the god is either a logical fallacy or the god is evil.
Children with cancer and an all-powerful god could save them but chooses not to? That ain’t benevolence.
Quarter million people of all faiths and none die in a tsunami in the Indian Ocean and couldn’t stop it? That ain’t omnipotent.
As Tracy Harris of the Atheist Community of Austin once put it to an apologist caller who was set up to fail by his church, concerning child rapists, when the caller asked her if that was bad: If I could stop a child rapist I would. That’s the difference between me and your god.
(1:42, caution for coarse language)
re: #32 calochortus

According to Calvinists, peasants are losers and The Big G doesn’t give a F about them.
re: #29 calochortus
That’s because it’s the Calvinist heresy distilled down to it’s essentials. It doesn’t work because it can’t work.
re: #33 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷
I think a lot of faiths handle this by dropping the omnibenevolent part. The rest generally go with “It’s a mystery.”

aaaah but there is always that possibility that the peasant has an opportunity to succeed and become wealthy because of their faith and as they get wealth they discover that they’re one of the elect.

Thanks to the GOP destruction of public education, most are too innumerate to understand how badly the deck is stacked against them. I’ll buy one ticket every few months and even that’s just simply to put money into the school fund.
2/3 through our trip from New England to my folks place in the midwest with my 17yo. He saw that I was sick of my iTunes music and that—seriously, Christian broadcasting has multiplied in the last few years—I went through radio stations unhappy. He also saw that after 8 hours I was flagging. So he hooked his phone up to the system and one of the first songs was Sakamoto Ryuichi’s 1978 “Thousand Knives.” Holy shit. The whole tune is great, but the guitar work by Watanabe Kazumi made me want to jump out of my seat. I’m in the hotel bathroom after having listened again. I wonder what else my son has to teach me (oh, he played a bunch of LCD Soundsystem and that was fun).

My older son is taking care of her and they have a good relationship, so it’s ok. But this trip has revealed so much. I haven’t been driving at high speeds nor through mountain passes in a long time, so that was rough this morning. The midwest has been later than New England to get vaccinated, so the McDonalds we went to to get a shitty quick bite here in Ohio is still drive-through only, etc., etc.
