Update: just finished The Bell. Really loved it. Can’t go wrong with a novel that begins with a train ride to a remote location.

While I would love to weigh in on what music was loved/hated by people my age in high school, I had The Monkees Greatest Hits on cassette so I’m sitting it out.
wtf, if you were a fan of grunge you also hated U2! How are people this confused?

As a late period GbV album enjoyer: this is a great interview.
If you go deep on GBV, you will likely enjoy my (music encyclopedia) husband talking to Morgan Enos about Pollard, etc., on Morgan’s GBV substack. Pretty fun interview excitedones.substack.com/p/what-gbv-m...
