I won't call the author right or wrong on their categorizations, but metal - and maybe all genres of music - break down in the following ways: 1) Subject matter, which for long-running bands tends to have a fad-like flavor (e.g. AC&#x2

Reading this, a certain passage from The Screwtape Letters popped into my head -- rather incompletely, so I found the passage and bring it here. "The Enemy allows this disappointment to occur on the threshold of every human endeavour.

Having a somewhat paranoid personality, I find myself wondering if auto-enroll and (especially) auto-escalation - which my job has - are designed with the employee's well-being in mind, or just a ploy to prop up the stock market?

Which I think leads us to a reasonable question, perhaps appropriate for a phase 2 implementation -- did anyone ASK the nurses if they would take a 25% pay cut? Not wanting to play Masters Of The Universe with Swedish nurses or anything, bu

Then the path to disruption is clear -- bypass the venues. Hmmm, maybe this Internet thing might be useful after all, assuming you can set up a decent streaming service and avoid the pitfalls.

I won't pretend to offer literary or historical criticism - all I can tell you is that when The Tin Drum movie arrived stateside, it traumatized a lot of people, myself included. Movies generally do little justice to the books upon whi

I used to think along the lines of the author - that nerds needed protection from bullies - and maybe from the most violent ones that is true. But greatness does not exist in a vacuum. Strength of mind comes from resistance, just as strengt

Maybe a name change - as much as I like the name Phil's Crummy Corner - to something snobbier might help. And take it from me -- 50somethings have as much trouble holding their liquor as 20somethings.

Upon what data and assumptions is this prediction based? How will this help Joe Six-pack?

We probably should remove our rose-colored shades and assume SV - like Hollywood and Wall Street -- are a bunch of hucksters.

Amen. But it may go a little deeper. One could argue that The Pentagon Papers leak advanced the agenda of a DC faction, namely the anti-Nixon crowd. I say this knowing most of the documents Ellsberg leaked came from the Johnson or maybe eve

I smell less the odor of censorship and more the aroma of shakedown, something the EU never tires of doing to US companies. Maybe we should withdraw from NATO. I'm sure plenty of Ossies aren't above making a euro helping Wessies i

A phrase like that reminds me of a line from a not-so-good Keanu Reeves flick that goes, "You not a has-been. You're a never-were."

I would say his prediction was more than just coincidence -- which he made when Trump was among 15 candidates vying for the GOP nomination. His raw odds then of being right were 14:1 against. He also doubled-down - with qualifications - onc

I find myself tempted to argue the converse -- that tolerance for different people drives one to learn a foreign language. Or maybe an underlying motivation -- for instance, at one time Russian was a useful skill for people interested in na

Even though I've suggested other motives in play elsewhere, you are probably on to something. Most doctors become doctors either as a childhood dream or to fulfill the expectations of others. Lots of pressure at an early age - and it o
