Trouble in Israel again. More rockets from the Gaza Strip. I can't see how anybody can reasonably support the Palestinians with this shit going on.

Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.
No it wasn't that at all. Let me summarize. Zeppelin hadn't played together live since Bonham's death. Robert Plant had flown in and done three gigs along the way, his voice was totally gone. Apparently Jimmy Page was 'out of it' and was handed an out of tune guitar. They had two drummers, Tony Thompson and Collins. Collins had also just arrived from doing his playing a gig in multiple countries within 24 hours promotion for Live Aid. He said that no one had time to rehearse and that Thompson treated it like an audition for the new fill in drummer for Led Zeppelin, who wouldn't listen to any advice or tips on what to play.
So Phil Collins gets crucified by the press for ruining the set and later by some members of Zeppelin. In defense of himself he lists the various things I've mentioned above and says to watch the video for yourself to determine what happened. He's right. The Zeppelin members sucked playing their own song and he did as well as can be expected filling in for a song he had never rehearsed. And he just finished flying around the world playing something like 12 shows in 24 hours of his own music

Apparently there's a new story on Elizabeth Holmes HBO put out? Going to have to try and dig that up, pretty fascinating case. She fooled a shit load of people, brilliant in some ways, but a total sociopath it sounds like.

I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

So apparently male-male cuddling is a thing. I don't have anything to say.

Cool thanks for the info!
I get the impression she's good at pulling the wool over men's eyes. I watch the ABC piece on her and it seemed she had her male profs fooled but her female profs at Stanford thought she was full of shit? Maybe just one reporter's angle. The book on her is supposed to be good too, may check it out if I have time.
Also: if anyone watched and enjoyed Free Solo, this other doc on Netflix called The Dawn Wall featuring one of Alex's climbing partners Tommy Caldwell is excellent too. Not to spoil things but he has an incredible story, captured by terrorists while climbing in one of the 'stan countries and escaped (bravely) when he was 22, chopped off his index finger in a bandsaw accident which couldn't be reattached, and is still considered one of the greatest big wall climbers ever. Very good documentary.
Jordan Peele. Racist.
