    Yeah, 87 dead kids is a serious bring down. If you need a little pick me up try Dick Dale and Stevie Ray Vaughn playing “Pipeline”. You get to hear two great guitarist and see the epitome of cool and the epitome of not cool in one video.Report

    It’s not the end. Maybe it’s the beginning of the end or possibly even the middle of the end, but not the end. Although I love that song I’ve always thought it was cool how REM could say absolutely nothing while at the same time making it sound like they are saying something deeply profound.Report

    Here’s a nice story about the first same-sex married couple on New York City: http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/07/24/new.york.same.sex.marriage/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_cnn

    I’m waiting for someone to say that this union of a 76-year-old and an 84-year-old isn’t a real marriage because it won’t produce children.Report
