Foo Fighters are a really good example of a band that should have broken up a long time ago and then made an Oasis-like comeback over a decade later. First few albums are solid pop-rock but everything after about 2005, it's like, "Who cares?" Hugely diminishing returns.

The holiday house we’re staying at happens to have a copy of Paul McCartney’s 1993 album, Off The Ground, which I’ve never heard before. And actually, let me shock you: it’s pretty good.

A postscript with a postcard: Paul found time to make it to the mailbox, sending this to Ringo, with a Jan 31 postmark. With the postal strike going on (see the front pages), who knows how long it took to reach its destination. But it's the thought that counted📬
