Josh Brolin nailed sobriety in one powerful line.

He loved drinking — called it gasoline in his veins. But he made it his mission to make sobriety more fun than his wildest nights. He was even willing to lose his wife Kathryn to put sobriety first.

No more Jekyll and Hyde. No more getting banned from every bar. That version of him is gone.

This one hit me hard. Most people see sobriety as losing something. Brolin treated it like upgrading his entire life.

Real change happens when the new path feels more alive than the old one.

Have you found sobriety (or quitting any bad habit) can actually become more rewarding than before?

It was quite a party.

Lonesome Dove might be the best limited series ever made. Robert Duvall & Tommy Lee Jones are historically great in this series. This aired in 1989 but still holds up so well- it’s a timeless Western epic. Duvall is right in the middle of his prime here. One of the best ever.

@DFWPerkaholic @Mavs_FFL 👆🏼 I agree with this. Took so long to get over the Spurs hump.

Russell Brand chillingly encourages people to proclaim the Gospel and follow Christ without fear

“This isn’t the time to play it safe. Jesus is real—and so is the devil... Preach truth. Refute darkness. Revival requires courage.”

Jesus is Lord. ✝️

Just a morsel of the moment fans of Evan Honer and the Laurel Cove Festival will be talking about for years.

When a rain storm hit Bell County, Kentucky, Evan moved under a pavilion with his band and played an intimate, unplugged, acoustic set for the ages.

@Zsanchez33 The Mac and cheese wasn’t too bad … but haven’t had the one up here …

[Brad Luttrell 🎵 @bradluttrell]

I think it's happening.

I think we're finally going to get Tyler Childers' "Jersey Giant" from the studio, produced by Rick Rubin.

If I'm wrong, I'm sorry for breaking hearts.

Kashmir, a classic of Led Zeppelin. Written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, the song that Robert Plant mentioned like ''I wish we were remembered for Kashmir more than Stairway To Heaven'' in an interview.

Originally titled Driving To Kashmir, the song had begun as a lyric Plant had been inspired to write in the autumn of 1973 after a long, seemingly never-ending drive through “the waste lands”, as he put it, of southern Morocco. It's meaning had nothing to do with Kashmir, in northern India, at all.

As Plant explained Kashmir's meaning to Cameron Crowe, it was about the road journey itself rather than a specific geographical location: “It was a single-track road which neatly cut through the desert. Two miles to the east and west were ridges of sand rock. It looked like you were driving down a channel, this dilapidated road, and there was seemingly no end to it.” Hence, Plant said, the opening lyric: ‘Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dreams.’

Musically, the juddering rhythm had erupted out of a late-night session involving Page and drummer John Bonham during one of the band’s regular stays at Headley Grange, the haunted mansion in East Hampshire where they recorded so many tracks in the early 70s.

“It was just Bonzo and myself,” Page said. “He started the drums, and I did the riff and the overdubs, which in fact get duplicated by an orchestra at the end, which brought it even more to life. It seemed so sort of ominous and had a particular quality to it. It’s nice to go for an actual mood and know that you’ve pulled it off.”

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page performing 'Kashmir' with the Egyptian orchestra leaded by Hossam Ramzi.

This song is already something that has so much power in itself but with an orchestra, with the notes of all that instruments, it became something extraordinary.

Please enjoy.

—Mavericks GM Nico Harrison on the Luka Doncic trade

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

The Luka Doncic trade couldn’t have gone worse for Nico Harrison.

The fans hates him.
The media hates him.
Kyrie got hurt.
They got eliminated in the play in tournament and missed the playoffs.

All-Time Worst Trade in NBA History.
