The longest thread ever

I made a Pearl Jam reference in a room full of young 30s and late 20s. No one got it. Made me feel old. Didn’t know who Eddie Vedder was.

Trust me, it gets worse.

As Frank Zappa once said . . . .

Who?

[OldPhiKap]

Who?

No, that band is even older.

"Son, she said... have I got a little story for you..."

[ClemmonsDevil]

No, that band is even older.

Damn. Deserves a spork.

[OldPhiKap]

Damn. Deserves a spork.

No, they are newer.

But I know you’re up on your bands from Aberdeen.

My kids may like Applebees but they damn well know who Pearl Jam is.

You’re a good parent!

I guess I don’t get politics. They have a Purple Heart war hero and author of the great American socially conservative novel, Representative Santos.

Another way too early flight.

[YmoBeThere]

Another way too early flight.

Why take such early flights? What is the advantage?

Another way too early flight.

Something to listen to while waiting at the gate:



Steve Miller’s cover of this was really big, but not many people know Paul Pena. Both were San Francisco musicians and we’re in neighboring rooms of a recording studio. Steve heard Paul recording this song and asked if he could record a version too. Steve’s came out first — but Paul’s is the original.

(and the better one IMHO).

Plane and crew are almost always there.

I need to get home to see my son. Also it is easier for me to take an early flight than a redeye physically.

Actually, here in Asheville the reverse is often true.

In the summer, big storms that don't even affect the mountains will mean that small planes to Asheville from other areas never take off the night before. So the 5:50am flight connecting through Atlanta isn't there and it's cancelled. It creates a domino effect where all those passengers are delayed and miss their connections etc etc.

Hope she is well.

[ClemmonsDevil]

Hope she is well.

Just haven't seen him in 2 weeks. We are headed to dinner tonight.

I know that especially for smaller airports, if you want to maximize chances of getting to your destination, you have to take the early flights, like REALLY early...typically I get up a 3:45 a.m. to make 5:45 flights to Durham for football season...after that burst of activity, most other flights don't leave until very late morning or early afternoon...the longer you wait in the day, the better your chance of missing a connection (and I've missed plenty in the past several years).

The Brazilian Wax guy?

[budwom]

Who?

Saw the movie Don't Worry Darling, featuring one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Harry Styles. Had absolutely no idea who he was, I am a toad in a hole.
