@TimHPop @wbuxtonofficial Indycar is much more competitive. Instead of 3 drivers with a chance to win, there are a dozen. And because the circuits are more diverse, drivers have tomore challenges (no power steering for starters). Saying this as someone who has watched every #F1 & #Indycar race since 1985

@marshallpruett The Season 5 surge seems way out of the norm. Did Netflix enter more international markets during that period? The show got worse, not better, so just wondering. Regardless, even with an apples-to-apples comparison, Countdown to Indy would be a non-qualifier.

@barefootjim @mwniehoff Thanks, Jim. That was our one and only promo photo. I had forgotten anyone ever published it.

I'd go with Social Distortion with Minor Threat a close second. But could spend weeks listing to most of these. Terrific mix.

@ThatEricAlper He was THE greatest all-around guitarist ever. This is very tough news to absorb.

@stubblebuzz @SteveScully Hey, @stubblebuzz, is there a link to a stream or podcast of the show? Would love to hear it but don't have @SIRIUSXM.

@austinkleon @333books Try "Celine Dion’s Let’s Talk About Love
by Carl Wilson (a beautiful take on music-hate later expanded into a larger book) and "The Pogues’ Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash" by Jeffery T. Roesgen, which uses historical fiction to dig into a terrific album.

@cool_hand12 @themrpatty @SuburbsPod That edition probably was my introduction to music critics as personalities (and fostered my addiction to music books). I learned many years later that the number of stars Rolling Stone gave an album were sometimes nudged higher if they were Jann Wenner's friends. Sigh.

Hey, @themrpatty, your terrific #booknook episodes on @SuburbsPod always take me down new paths. Many thanks! Here's my slice of record guides. (It's overkill, I know). I highly recommend the eclectic Scott Miller guide but suspect you already have it.

@jboren4507 @mcclatchy @NewsLeaders @spj_tweets This is so disheartening. Interesting that McClatchy's decision comes as it has to bear a greater burden of ongoing salaries.

WHOOP, indeed! Well deserved, @loishenry

WHOOP! SJV Water and Center for Collaborative Investigative Journalism won Best Partnership of the Year at the Institute for Nonprofit News Awards! We are so honored! And amazed by the fantastic work of all the entrants. YAY for nonprofit news! https://t.co/es0z6EpMrV

Terrific matchup between my @SFGiants and Dodgers deserves a special drink: Hello to @MakersMark Limited 101. Here's to good things.

Perhaps more than any athlete, Tony O was my childhood hero. The cool mask, the innovative butterfly style, the Blackhawks jersey, the dominating stats -- he was simply a magnificent draw at a time when the NHL was mostly foreign to us kids in California. https://t.co/l10yKDiARY

Remarkable: An anonymous donor's gift of $23 million could accelerate efforts to ease Steamboat's housing crisis.

After a grueling day at work, all my weariness melted away when I heard the New York Dolls as soon as I fired up the car radio on my drive home. 50 years on, the Dolls still have the power to inspire.
