Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Just looked it up - he went 2 for 5 from the field, grabbed three boards in 27 MINUTES.
"Oh but he inspired the team."
My ass. How about someone that actually produces? Walt Frazier busted his ass off that night with 36 points, 19 assists, and 7 boards yet people only ever want to talk about the unproductive invalid.

Plus Talking Heads, and pursued US distribution of UK groups like the Smiths and the Cure. Supposedly coined "new wave" to rid Talking Heads of the nasty punk label and get airplay.gkbill wrote: ↑02 Apr 2023, 9:15pmHello,

Horrible for John, but merciful for Nora—dementia is not life in any meaningful sense. Hopefully his grieving period can bring him insight and greater compassion for others.
