AI, imo is a dark, dead-end alley. This might be the worst "country" song I've ever heard. It is currently #1 on the Billboard Country Digital Sales Charts. Shame on you if you spent a nickel on this AI-generated piece of ****.

The Los Angeles Dodgers: Love 'em or Loathe 'em

Well, I watched it. I thought that after two decades, the emotional impact would have lessened. No such luck. Instead, for about 1 1/2 hrs, a significant flood of memories, good and bad, were brought back. 1/6

Many people ask me why I don't cheer for "Canada's Team," the @torontobluejays.bsky.social. I'll try to explain my position.
I grew up in Montreal, supporting the @montrealexpos.bsky.social. My dad took me to games at Jarry Parc, &I attended many games at Olympic Stadium from the 1970s-1990s. 1/7

"Two of the best days of my life were the day I picked up the guitar and the day I learned to put it down. You've got to find a bigger life. The day you pick it up, that's the three hours onstage. The day you put it down, that's the other 21." - Bruce Springsteen
