Probably posting about the Cyclones. Twin dad, lucky husband, ally, and whiskey enjoyer.
Thank you for this. I'm sure it's clouded by my parents' interests and interpretations, but I can't think of an equivalent to The Beatles' and The Beach Boys' battle for relevancy.
I wish I could have experienced it in real time myself. Today, we reap the benefits of the rivalry.

100% my experience. Cedar Ridge has the best whiskey in the state with their single malts, which is saying something since I MUCH prefer bourbon. Their bourbons are fine (actually, good!) but it’s not my flavor profile. Don’t know if Iowa will ever have a perfect bourbon for me.

Something about ‘90s and early ‘00s concert DVDs absolutely rewires my brain chemistry for some reason. Fleetwood Mac’s “The Dance”, The Eagles’ “Hell Freezes Over”, etc. They transport you to the perfect intersection of live music and production on physical media. I’m sad that’s disappearing.
