I owe Marsden and CFNY so much for shaping my musical tastes. Not just CanCon! I’m remembering hearing Bill Nelson’s “Another Day, Another Ray of Hope” first on CFNY.

On the subject of ex-boyfriends…I got dumped out of state. Yeah, too bad, too sad, as Mom would say. She was right. Still, I drove from the Charlotte airport to Cola in my Mazda 3 playing this song at full blast.

I’m a huge Gin Blossoms fan. Their greatest hits CD was frequently in my Mazda 3. Former boyfriend said, “How many songs are on that CD? One?” 😡
That relationship was doomed from that moment.

The Wire was prophetic. Amazing. Breaking Bad was iconic for so many reasons.

Embarrassing confession: I’ve never watched all of The Sopranos . There are complicated reasons, but I realize it’s a blind spot.

One more note about the silly NYT list: I purposely left off any reality tv on my top 10. GBBO made their list, and it’s one of my favorites. Amazing Race should have been on it. Top Chef. But I have so many guilty reality pleasures. I’ve rewatched Bar Rescue more than NTBTS. Southern Charm?

Wow, the rain at Shaky Knees made news at WaPo!
My husband had to diffuse an angry situation between festivalgoers trying to escape the dangerous weather and restaurant employees try to keep their covered patio clear.

Severe storms forced the temporary evacuation of Atlanta’s Shaky Knees festival.
Some attendees slid through muddy grass before the festival reopened, with Twenty One Pilots returning for a shortened set.

Another silly list! From the New York Times!
I complain about these silly lists, but you had better believe I’m filling out a top 10! That’s actually a more daunting task than movies.

I still prefer Half Man (which was not nominated grrrrrr) but appreciated this series a lot. Still thinking about it.

And Stephen Root! I started watching NewsRadio because of Dave Foley (KITH/Rivoli!) but I fell in love with the ensemble. Jimmy James? Milton? And soooo many memorable roles. I love when character actors get their flowers.

In today’s edition of my hot takes/unpopular opinions…get ready…I don’t like The Americans. I know. No one is more surprised than I am because I love Matthew Rhys, and I am obsessed with Cold War history. Sounds like me-core, right?
Sadly, no. And I tried!

Matthew Rhys made Emmys history by becoming the first person to win lead acting awards in the drama, comedy and limited series categories across a career. On Monday, he took home lead acting prizes for “The Beast in Me” and “Widow’s Bay.” nyti.ms/4yILKQ5

They split and she’s now engaged to Tom Pelphrey, who was amazing in Task.
