In Florida's best 12-year run in school history (Spurrier), Bowden went 7-4-1 against us.

Surprised nobody noted this earlier, Charlie Watts the Rolling Stones drummer has passed away at age 80.  He was with the Stones for nearly 60 years.

My daughter informed me of this.   She says, 'guess they won't be touring anymore.'   We've long discussed how my Mom saw them in the 60s, I saw them in the 90s and planned to drag her to see them in the 20s.

I thought he had pulled out of their tours recently.  I distinctly remember my parents seeing their Voodoo Lounge Tour, worried it would be their last chance to see them.  That was 30 years ago.

I saw them in 1999(?) and was supposed to go to their SARS benefit concert in 2003 in Toronto with Rush and Our Lady Peace, but the US-Canadian border became stricter post 9/11.  I had no passport, and getting my birth certificate, would require telling my.parents I was going to Toronto.  Simpler times, simpler pandemics

I saw the Stones in 2015 when they came to the New Brickhouse. If it is possible to look even worse in person than on screen, the Stones made it possible. Good show, though. Loud as hell, even at the far back of the horseshoe.

Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear

This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
