The guitarist was the most proficient musician in the original lineup and his bludgeoning ‘monster plod’ was central to their sound

"that Alcaraz is good, wonder how he'll compare to the greats... I know I'll just ignore some early data and straight line forecast the most recent 2 years despite no other person demonstrating that trajectory... Job done"

Back to work tomorrow after 18 days off. We were developing the world's greatest income, activity and performance comparator. Like a true leader, I tasked the only analyst in the team to build it while I was away. Can't wait to see how it looks, hope he captured the PES inspired benchmarking well

I restarted my analysis notes on the 10 Year Plan as my first run was just bland. Like every other commentary out there it struggled with the Plan really not being a "plan".
It isn't a delivery plan, and it doesn't allow people to jump right to their empire's impacts. And that's actually good.

![• Alex Chilton, the former lead singer of Big Star, recalled receiving middle-of-the-night phone calls from Wilson asking him to sing on a recording of "Shortenin' Bread'' ("He was telling me I have the perfect voice for it"). [31]
• The Monkees' Micky Dolenz said that when he tripped on LSD with Wilson, John Lennon, and Harry Nilsson, Wilson played "Shortenin' Bread" on piano "over and over again". [291
• Biographer Peter Ames Carlin wrote that Elton John and Iggy Pop were bemused by an extended, contumacious Wilson-led singalong of "Shortenin' Bread", leading Pop to flee the room proclaiming, "I gotta get out of here, man. This guy is nuts!"[32]
• Musician Alice Cooper recalled that Wilson considered "Shortenin' Bread" to be the greatest song ever written. According to Cooper, when he asked why, Wilson responded
"I don't know, it's just the best song ever written." [33]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cfy5rgqvohpdqxgu2geb5u2b/bafkreiezoi2xwo35alw7yhztpyuwpiuikzdsnj63tek5fzaspvfj2dxgve@jpeg)

An angel gains it's wings when data proves a cliché to be true
The weather is a variable that no footballer can avoid - particularly if they play in the Premier League.
But was Stoke really a tough place to go on a cold, windy evening? And why is Cole Palmer's nickname a misnomer?
