@MusicJim2 This is not only the high water mark of the Seinfeld show. It's the greatest episode of anything ever. Elaine - the brave rebel who rejects the soup nazis authority & brings down his regime once it becomes personal. Genius setup for the perfect ending. #seinfeld #soupnazi

21 avril 1966, les Beatles travaillent toute la journée sur un titre majeur dans la carrière de George Harrison. Peut-être son meilleur depuis qu'il s'essaie à la composition. George se rend compte à quel point il paie des impôts depuis qu'il est devenu riche, surtout depuis qu'il compose des chansons justement. L'un des événements marquants sera un papier qui décomposiera un montant réellement perçu de 1.400 livres pour sa chanson "Think For Yourself" sur 6.500 livres de royalties. Dans cette chanson Taxman, George dira "There's one for you nineteen for me". Pas tout à fait quand même mais on voit où il veut en venir. Au-delà des paroles, George laissera à Paul le solo de guitare presque par accident. George se rendra tout simplement compte que le solo de Paul est bien meilleur que ce qu'il avait lui-même imaginé. Et surtout, il lui trouvera une sonorité indienne qui n'était évidemment pas pour lui déplaire. En revanche, 14 ans plus tard, c'est notamment ce titre qui provoquera la colère de John à la lecture des mémoires de George "I Me Mine". Alors que John a énormément contribué aux paroles de Taxman, George ne le citera pas une seule fois lorsqu'il évoquera ce titre en particulier dans son livre. Que John soit mort fâché avec lui, George ne s'en remettra jamais vraiment. "Taxman", The Beatles, 1966.

@elliotspencer43 @BradKlibansky @HawksInsiders Fair point. Nash is a defensive mid too. Butler has more strings to his bow by playing as an outside mid & can push forward if we get too defensive with Finn in there

@Hawkslogo @BradKlibansky @HawksInsiders Finn should only come in if he’s tagging. Even then I’m not sure because we have Sam butler in the side

😡 Scrimshaw and Gunston should return. I expect there will be one more change. McCabe will be unlucky. One of Dalton or Maginness will come in. What changes would you make this week @HawksInsiders?

@MWL152 lol what. Tough choice, overseas holiday... or Adelaide

Does he hear himself? He told us three stories, one proved that going to gather round is as expensive as an overseas trip, one family saves for 12 months just to go, and one goes every second year because it’s too expensive. Then at the at the end he says it’s not too expensive

@Baddiel Georges solo acoustic version on anthology 3 is also incredible. The gap between his and John/Pauls song writing craft was starting to shrink after returning from their mind expanding trip to India. This YouTube clip on the song is worth a look youtu.be/nDCMK2VPeBA?si…

The piano at the start of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is incredible. It’s even more incredible that it doesn’t repeat anywhere else in the song youtu.be/YFDg-pgE0Hk?is…

@SVG__Collection James Jamerson's bass lines on Stevie Wonders 'For Once In My Life' is second to none youtu.be/LEyD0qBFUNg?si…

@tce71 @VinceRugari Thats @VinceRugari point. Sponsors/broadcasters care because of their bottom line. Ultimately the traditional fan doesn't care & will watch GF anytime. That said, imo the AFL is holding the start time back when time comes to renegotiate a new deal. Why give it to them for free?

@VinceRugari Sponsors might care a lot. Broadcasters, who spend a lot of money to get the rights, might care a lot. Why pay more money to sponsor the AFL when more eyeballs are on the NRL ?

Does anyone really care which GF rates higher, aside from people who work for broadcasters? How does it impact anyone’s enjoyment? Why should fans have to think about that?

I can’t unsee this… #AFLCatsCrows

@_MiisterJ @CRiordan2024 @zionszzn

@CRiordan2024 @zionszzn How you do that

Dear Apple, at no point will I ever text someone “he’ll yeah”

@Wavell33 @DogsBreakfastFC @FOXFOOTY lol what. I want what he's on. 3 top 10 picks for Merrett is delusional

@DogsBreakfastFC @FOXFOOTY No it isnt. He is saying we were offered 3 first rounder - they were not quality picks. If they were 3 top 10 maybe. We already had 3 x 10 picks and 2 the yesr before

"Essendon are no longer part of the big four. They're not a big club!" The Bombers' decades of woes mean they're no longer among the Victorian powers, and refusing to trade Zach Merrett will only make it worse, says #OnTheCouch's Jack Riewoldt.

@maxlaughton Teams playing opening round have an obvious advantage over those that don't so bookies factor this into the odds when pricing favourites... not to mention teams selected for OR are better anyway

If I’m reading the numbers right (on my phone), the betting favourite is 10-2 in Round 1 games between Did Play Opening Round and Didn’t Play Opening Round. You can make the stat suit your argument however you like, basically.

@DavidMille60306 @TheMonologist

@TheMonologist 2 things about that bit: 1) the actor who liked apples was probably well-paid to say the line. It's a movie. He made money, doing a job. 2) So you got her number, big deal. Many dates go poorly. They might not click. She might drive him crazy. Relationships are rough, sometimes.

Bob Dylan at the Mariposa Folk Festival, July 1972. Photo by Keith Beaty. He wasn't there to play—he was there to listen. Dylan showed up unannounced specifically to see Leon Redbone perform. He wandered the grounds in a red bandana and glasses, trying to blend in, but was eventually mobbed by fans and had to make an escape on a police boat!

@hanjum82 @CricketopiaCom lol what. His plan of getting 30 runs in first powersurge over hinged on keeping strike. It worked because of his champion mindset #BBL15

@CricketopiaCom Smith is an elite performer, but untamed dominance needs checking. Yesterday set a wrong precedent for kids – borderline bullying: public frustration at Babar, denying a single, calling Power Surge solo. Superiority ≠ entitlement. Short-term gains, long-term cultural damage.

“At the 10 over mark, they said take the Surge straightaway and I said give us one over, I want to target the short boundary. I reckon I can 30 off it and I think we took 32 in the end. It was a good Surge. Not sure Babar was too happy with me” ~ Smith

In my teenage years my mum and I had an argument. She felt bad about it and wanted to make it up with me so she bought me a poster for ny bedroom wall. My favourite musician at the time was Mick Ronson but she remembered his name wrong and bought me a poster of this guy.

"It may be no surprise to see Australians taking cricket seriously, but it is an education to travel through a country where the game is so readily available and publicly embraced."" I too, on my travels, felt such emotions - wistful envy & regret. x.com/barneyronay/st…
