And we will have our own maps, so we can rename large bodies of water. We will be the only country on earth using these maps. It will confuse everyone, but we’ll have Freedom.
After a tour to support their debut release, #DireStraits came back with "Communique".
This is an album that I finally picked up a few months ago, for this project. So other than Lady Writer (which is on one of their greatest hits compilations), I hadn't heard this one before now.

Cool!
Though I wish they’d stop giving opponents a huge lead that they then have to claw back.
But that’s a big win!

They have more first downs than we have plays.
That doesn’t sound good for either side of the ball.

A few months ago, I wrote about the first third of #TheBeeGees "Their Greatest Hits: The Record".
I still feel strongly that people need to give their early work more credit. But it's this middle third of the record that they are most known for, at least here in the States.

2 interceptions, including a Pick 6.
Still not a great showing, but glad to have this post not age real well.

I don’t even know what to say about this defense. It’s … terrible today!
Sure, they were burned by a bad DPI flag. But you’ve got to at least suggest you can make a stop.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Happiness can sometimes come in an 8x12 box.
One of those is a Cranberry Fritter, than I’m pretty excited about.

The next release from #Rush is "Hemispheres", and includes Cygnus X-1 (Book 2), a continuation of Cygnus X-1 from the earlier "A Farewell to Kings".
And this is definitely my favorite Rush album so far.

For their second release, #Boston returned with "Don't Look Back".
It had to be tough to try and live up to expectations after the huge success of the first record. Personally, I think they made what might actually be a better record than their more famous debut.

And yet which one, murder or traffic violence, gets more sensational coverage in most news media?
Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

That was ugly. They played a terrible game on both sides of the ball. And that feels more exemplary of this team than the one that played last week.
No consolation thoughts.

I have listened to "Dire Straits", the debut album from #DireStraits over a dozen times this week; it's so good!
Admittedly, I had probably only listened to it once or twice previously, though I've had it for years. But it never made the regular rotation.

A win’s a win.
But I don’t really come out of that game with more confidence than I had going in. Sure, they put up 44 points; excellent. But giving up 32 isn’t great. 3 turnovers is terrible. And they still can’t stop the run.
And now a short week into a road game?

Facebook just served up the highlights of the ‘90-‘91 AFC Championship between the #BuffaloBills and the LA Raiders. That team was so much fun to watch those years! Never ended the season the way we hoped, but it was still a great team to cheer for.

Like his first solo release, the second album from #PeterGabriel is also titled Peter Gabriel, but is colloquially known as "Scratch". And like the debut release from Rush, this week is the first time I've ever heard this album. And honestly, I don't feel that I've been missing much.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion
