Yeah, I found myself yelling at the podcast at specifically that point. Rewatching the scene it's filmed in a way that's pretty close in, with all this smoke, so it's hard to see much of the surrounding buildings, but you can very specifically see the Chinatown gate and China Pearl in it.
It wasn't in Connecticuit, Worcester, Brookline, or Charlestown, so why would Simmons know Chinatown existed?Absolutely. And just because I was feeling persnickety about it.
I just listened to this. The first half was epic. The 2nd half was just the mush.
Jesus fucking Christ, indeed. I like Simmons despite his many flaws, but man - he's just REALLY off on this one.
Both of y'all are onto something. Finney or Cox would've absolutely killed in that role.
I mean, that too. Carolla was once pretty great and is now doing Prager U shit. But, I kind of get the Carolla thing -- Sal and Simmons have been friends with him forever. That's a hard choice to make.
Right. It's just shitty and while I love the Guess The Lines pods, it casts a shadow for me that Sal (who by all accounts is a good person, good father, etc) is friends with Clay fucking Travis.
Another thing: I thought it was pretty clear that the Vera Farmiga character tipped off Dingham, but none of them even consider the point. They think she just…left? What would be the point of having her get the “if anything happens to me, listen to this and tell X” package from Leo, with X presumably being Dingham, the only other person who would believe Leo? She walks away from Damon at the funeral because she knows the kid isn’t his and is going to/already has turned him in to Dingham. Shea’s “She doesn’t turn him in because he’s the dad” is, like, the opposite.
Dickinson at least I have seen a lot of articles about the new season. Mostly though, I think they cover the premiere of big shows on all the streamers, and generally if one of the TV writers pitches a piece on something they let them write it. I mean, Katie Baker wrote about Yellowstone today... which is like 4 seasons in on Paramount?
My reaction to every song featured when the episodes get released, since about 10 in, has been, "Oh, fuck yeah." Rob has earned it by consistently putting out great work.
Couldn't agree more, this episode was outstanding and hit me right in the feels as a 44 year old father. Bizarrely, I was in a record store yesterday morning looking through the vinyl for something to add to my nascent collection and came across a copy of Wildflowers and All the Rest and decided I needed to have it. I returned to my desk and went to The Ringer and this podcast was the first thing I saw. Huge regrets that I never saw Petty live.
As a 44 year old planning-to-be-father, I'm right there with you. I almost went to the Hollywood Bowl show- which became his last- and decided not to. Still kicking myself.
Oh dang. I'm all set for the gym tomorrow, then.
Funny enough my only time seeing Petty was at halftime of the Super Bowl that shall not be named. He rocked the shit out of the stadium, which from what I understand is different than many of the other past Super Bowl acts which rely more on backing tracks etc. It was sadly too short and I had mostly a feeling of relief returning to my seat from the restroom while listening after almost taking a header trying to go down the steps to my seat in a very dark area!
I saw Tom Petty in I think 1982 as an afterthought, I really went to see opening act Split Enz. Tom Petty blew me away, so much so I went back two years later specifically to see him. And he sucked! He was so wasted he was literally walking into his microphone and then stopping like “whoa…” moral of the story-you could’ve seen the best show ever, or the worst lol
Is this one of those Spotify only podcasts? I had no luck trying to find it in Overcast..
60 Songs and 10 Questions are the only ones I listen to on Spotify. Both are phenomenal podcasts. Otherwise, I use Pocketcasts.
I tried with Spotify podcasts for about a week but could not get it to keep my queue intact. I was sure I was the idiot, but decided to go back to Pocketcasts. Now I just periodically need to remember to go to Spotify for 60 Songs, though I fear we are heading for a future like we have with streaming video, requiring you to subscribe to multiple providers to get all of the content you want.
It's not so bad. For example all I want to do is download podcasts and then go to a particular podcast and sort if from newest to oldest and delete the old ones I've listened to and not see them again. Which is
Lol.
WHY DO LIKE 200 EPISODES OF REWATCHABLES KEEP SHOWING UP? I DONT WANT TO FILTER BY UNPLAYED ANY MORE.
Right: this Petty ep was the crux, because it was #59* and the last two kinda had to be Nirvana and Britney. When I saw that there was "an announcement on the future of the show" I actually would have preferred it being that he was going to roll over to the 2000s- my personal fave decade- but I can see him not ever wanting to (it's when he went from music being entirely personal to it being a profession), but I'll definitely take this. As long as it wasn't "meh, we're ending this". I want as much of this podcast/format as possible, even if I'm stuck using fucking Spotify for it.
Artists not included yet:
No argument here. I'd just personally prefer 60 2000s to 30 more 90s songs, if that was my choice. But I'm very happy that it isn't Nirvana, Britney, and out.
I'm a Stan, but I'm guessing/hoping he'll have The Black Crowes on there, maybe with Steve Hyden as the guest.
I suspect he'll do a 2000s one eventually. It's one of the best music podcasts I've ever listened to, and while it took me a minute to get used to Rob's style, it's been a blast.
Depending on whether you can stomach YouTube more than Spotify, I believe all the 10 Questions episodes are also on YouTube in full.
