Wherein I complain about work, discuss PSU, mention (t/w)hat I am currently drinking, or attempt to be witty or profound. Purveyor of the finest non sequiturs.
@buchignani May be a bridge too far for some, but having one of those fancy heated vests for SMU made sitting in the stands just a *little^ less harsh too.
Dislike bigly how much off-field rumors & news are overshadowing an actual on-field game against a high profile opponent.
But I’m guilty too. This is (hopefully) the most transient version of a PSU team we will ever see.
@buchignani I’ve no earthly idea how these things work, but my thought was that if CMC and/or Adidas wanted some early fan goodwill, this would be the way to do it.
Nick Cave has compared his experience at one of Radiohead's recent shows to a "spiritual activity."
"I was sitting among twenty thousand people. Bizarrely, it was the first time I had ever been in the audience at such a large show, and I was stunned by the depth of love in the room -- people dancing, screaming, crying, hugging each other, throwing themselves around. I was struck by the realization of just how powerful live music is -- that a group of individuals can come together and concoct a sound unique to them, and that people can connect with that distinctive vision as if it were their own experience. I could feel its moral quality -- how this singular force has the capacity to repair the world with its goodness.
"I engage in various spiritual activities -- I swim in a lake, go to church, walk in nature, meditate -- but none offer the transcendent opportunity of a live concert. It is a form of human activity that radiates goodness, working its way through the crowd and into the world as a reparative, cosmic force, improving matters, keeping the devil at bay. I believe Radiohead’s audience was responding not only to the music, which was astonishing, but also to the courage of the performers -- the sheer nerve to stand before a crowd and offer up their souls. Like everyone else there, I was deeply moved and humbled."
