Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Fuck. This. Year.

His latest tour was such an exciting creative development, too. I'm gonna stay in Denial for a while, I think.
Jesus Christ, you guys.
I was never a big fan, so it doesn't hurt me, but I hate seeing it make everyone else hurt.
Yeah, same here. And it totally makes me think of ita. Goddammit.
This with Bowie is too much this year. Prince was a lot of college sex. Graffiti Bridge in a theater and that was not a good movie. Someone took my liner notes from that CD, I might still be mad.
I probably have more Bowie albums in my collection than any other artist. Prince is probably 4th or 5th. Just a huge chunk of my music. No sense.
Prince has been a musical constant my whole life, from the time I was really aware of music as something I might have my own preferences for (vs. my mom's Barbara Streisand and my dad's country music, which were always on the stereo). Michael Jackson's death was shocking and sad, yet not that surprising. Bowie's death was rough, but his music wasn't as much a part of my life (and certainly not my formative years) as Prince's music was. (I feel like maybe an 11-year-old should NOT have owned some of those albums.)
And he was too damn young.
This sounds stupid, but y'all are going to have to help me when Sondheim dies. And he's 86.
Bloom County just posted a memorial on FB that has friggin broke me. I had been holding it together somewhat until then.
Not stupid, Dana.
Not stupid at all, Dana.
I almost started to make a list of artists whose death would upset me, but then I realized that was just asking the universe to kick us all in the teeth.
