Went through some old photos. Came across this one taken outside of a Southie restaurant from September 2016. Kid Rock was still seen as semi-relevant ten years ago. What a difference a decade makes.

My Friday Evening Music
Dolly Parton took her covers seriously. She tweaked several bits of "What's Up," Which Linda Perry had to be cool with because a) she's playing on the cover and b) she's been known to rewrite verses when covering songs. At least when Dolly Parton sings that she prays for resolution instead of revolution, at least you can believe her when she says she prays. RIP Dolly Parton.
My Friday Morning Music
Even if I never saw the movie 9 to 5, even if I somehow kept myself isolated from popular music and media, I would still have this tapeworm of an earworm by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers that played constantly in the eighties.

It's amazing what people will name their online networks. I'm always trying to hijack Wi-Fi when I'm commuting, so I often come across a number of interesting names. Every Tuesday, I post the most impressive and/or cringe-inducing names.

This Week's Friendly Reminder
Found in Provincetown. Blurry, but it works. Elections are coming. We need to keep making this a thing.
My Monday Morning Music
I'm one of the last to say RIP Dolly Parton. Sadly, she was more of a presence on the movie screen than on my parents' radio. I didn't hear "Jolene" until I heard the Miley Cyrus cover a few years ago.
