‘I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.

@sk76 Spot on, but... there's a great deal to be learned from the basic song form, what rhythms and narratives move people, what can make $$$$$$$$$, and how the need to feel self-superior can sever real opportunity and effectiveness. Psychiatrists have a special problem with this these days.

If you haven't read "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac, some of it out loud, I highly recommend it.

Neuroscience is indicating achey breaky hearts make for achey breaky brains. We need to make connections.

@sk76 Loved his bit on Carson about it all being one long song.

@sk76 and nobody with a camera for a selfie! I suppose that's the origin of autographs, some tangible thing to show off from an encounter.

@ottaross the more I look at it the more I think it’s mostly reporters, not autograph hunters. He’s standing right outside the Chicago Tribune building. No press photographers though (except the one taking this pic 😂)

I was wrong! (happens a lot)

From source: "Bob Newhart signs autographs on North Michigan Avenue before the taping of the Bob Newhart Show, Chicago, Illinois. "

That tie! Those lapels! The pinky ring! I’m imagining the entire ensemble in shades of harvest gold and chocolate brown, with a bit of white and baby blue in the tie.
