I've had to wade through a gizillion posts in this very thread over a period of years now, and now this?

I decided the proper scientific name was more dignified than "peanut worm". I took an invertebrate anatomy course in college around 1998 and came across this interestingly named phylum. I wondered why they got their own phylum and am now not exactly surprised to see that they don't really deserve that distinction and are really just a subgroup of the annelids (segmented worms).

QuoteMadcap Has anyone who pre-ordered the LP from the official store received it yet? I haven’t even gotten notice that it’s been shipped. Been waiting for a week for a reply to my email about a defective shirt I bought at the same time too, not thrilled about the bob Dylan store customer service so far. I got the notification 2 days ago. Not yet in my hands but hopefully soon.

All due respect, BV, but I would not recommend putting all your eggs in the vaccine basket. Hopefully we'll get one. Another coronavirus (you may have heard of it) called SARS eventually and quickly just vanished. No effective vaccine was ever developed. Hopefully too this will all just...fade away. There is another viral illness called influenza (no relation to SARS-cov-2, aka coronavirus)

QuoteNilsHolgersson I'm going to bed now. This was a great day. When I woke up I knew nothing. Then I saw the thread here saying "new single tomorrow". It turned out to be true. Not tomorrow but even today. Now we have it already, video and all. Gonna watch it one more time. Every day the Stones release a new single is a great day! Agreed. Just the boost we need right now.

It's great. Catchy. One of those songs where you find yourself humming it later and want to get back to it. Elements of Miss You, Love is Strong, Feel on Baby, Out of Control, Beast of Burden, One More Shot, you name it. It's a Stones tune.

QuoteMileHigh People can certainly look at differing views. If say the pandemic reaches 30% of the US population and the death rate is 1% then that means that about one million US citizens will die. That's a lot more than 34,200. You will see that the death rate will prove to be an order of magnitude lower or more than that currently stated. You will see it come down. They aren't swa

The celebrities taking their seats at Wembley blows my mind. It looks to be pretty far away from the stage and can't have sounded good. Then you have to crane your neck the whole time due to the seating orientation. Either that or fight for a GA spot in the front, which I can't see Sting doing, lol.

Looking forward to it. I lived in Austin at the time of the Zilker Park show and walked there from my house. But no more, so I'll be camping with friends in the "Honky Tonk Dry Camping" area. Hmm. Wonder what "dry" means... We will be on the Silver Lawn.
