ICYMI: CW PODCAST - Last month marked a HUGE change at @Capitol_Weekly & the end of an era in Sacto: John Howard retired. @WordsmithRich has taken over as Editor - the two sat down with @oldmanfoster to talk about their careers & plans for the future

@johnmyers I reactivated my Twitter account just to high-five your kid. If he turns down The Jackson Five, then you've got a problem.

The 7th grader refused tonight to acknowledge the merits of U2, Pink Floyd, Bachman Turner Overdrive, and the Grateful Dead. He turned down the radio each time.
I have failed as a father.

@mikegatto Eric Sevareid's autobiography, 'Not So Wild a Dream.' Not a new book, but a fascinating read with an eerie amount of parallels to today's world. I read it twice - it's that good.

I’m looking for book recommendations.
What is a book you read recently (or not!) that I absolutely must read?

@Redistrict @CookPolitical I’ll take a bet on CA49 and CA13. Loser buys lunch.
Levin’s got a good district and Gray is a perfect fit for a Dem candidate in the Central Valley.

My band made our first music video back in 2004, actually shot on film! At some point the final file disappeared & was lost for years, but I'm happy to see that the filmmaker found it and posted it to @YouTube - total Sacto wayback machine!

@TheJennyGrace @maxdubler @Victor_M_Short Speaking of Bad Faith... that is not Brutalism - at all. (Not enough concrete for starters.) I get that you don't like it, but it's just fairly bland postmodern architecture, not Brutalism. If you don't believe me, image search 'Brutalist Architecture' - looks more like this:

So the big NYT article about California high speed rail is not actually saying anything new. It's the latest from a former LA Times reporter who spent the last 12 years writing based hit pieces about the project. I shut my blog down years ago. But it's time to debunk him again.

@StevieVanZandt Can't believe he left out The Sonics. 'Here are The Sonics' and 'Boom' are canon

Start with 2 by Van the Man-Gloria and I Can Only Give You Everything/Louis Louis (Kingsmen)/Little Latin Lupe Lou (Righteous Bros or Mitch Ryder)/Just Like Me (Paul Revere)/Twist and Shout (Isley Bros)/Roselyn (Pretty Things)/Hi Ho Silver Lining (Jeff Beck)/And the party is on!

@StevieVanZandt Stevie, I’m starting an underground garage styled cover band to play bars and brewpubs locally. What would be 3-4 essential songs we should include in our setlist? Figured I’d ask the master 😀

@JeremyBWhite @FlemingWords I think I made it 100 pages, put in a bookmark 'for when I have time to finish.' that was about 9 years ago

How many pages is reasonable to give a long, dense classic novel before you give up?

@mdavidruff @JeremyBWhite @CAStateLibrary if a sci fi novel doesn't grab you in 30-40 pages, toss it. It's meant to be light entertainment

@jasonkinney @realassemblyman So sorry to hear this Jason... Bruce was really something. Maybe the best interview we ever had on the Capitol Weekly Podcast
English
Moment of forlorn reflection: former legislator Bruce Young (@realassemblyman) passed last night. To many, he was a sagacious political strategist. To me, he was a mentor who loved what I love - beating Reeps & loving sports - and damn I will really really miss him. RIP friend.
