Utah Beach where my thumb is down to Bastogne (Battle of the Bulge, town was surrounded by Germans) bottom right. No clue what he did but I know he was there in some capacity.
The lead singer of Pearl Jam went through a brief David Soul phase, too, I recall.
I literally laughed out loud.
GG, I’ll never forget - when David Soul’s album (Playing to an Audience of One) came out, Rolling Stone reviewed it. It said something to the effect of “Make that none, Dave. We just heard the album.”
I was all about Starsky. We even flirted twice (!) in the 80s
I was perusing the stacks at my local record store today and came across this. Decided not to buy it because, you know, it is terrible.
To follow up on close encounters with the Glaser kind, I was around 18 and driving to work. Had the windows open, music loud, stopped at a light, and he pulled up next to me in this gorgeous Carrera (I actually noticed the car first!). He smiled, said hi, asked where I was going (work at Bullock's), which department I worked in, said he may stop by. Never did, of course.
A few years later, I was having dinner with my dad. We were facing each other, and Glaser was facing me behind my dad. We kept making eyes at each other. I found out afterward about his wife, and felt shitty.

He's 77 now!
Wow. Two close encounters with Starsky. I wonder if the second time he saw you he remembered you - or you might have just been his type.
Sad about his wife. Both of his kids were born HIV positive, and his daughter died as well. But his wife's foundation that he headed up for a while has done a lot of great work for pediatric AIDS. He seems like a good guy.
the harmonica Hugh Dillon tossed to me in the crowd at a Headstones show in 2018. It was during their song Captain of the Shit Out of Luck, so there's masking tape on the top that just reads "'shit" so he knows which one to use for which song. pretty fitting since he swears like a sailor.
been "chasing" the stage-used harmonica since the beginning of the band in 93. one bounced off my hand between my thumb and index finger at a show in 97.
usually he just chucks it into the crowd like they throw t shirts at baseball games. he knows me, probably saw that i tweeted about it the day of the show, pointed at me, and fucking baby-lobbed it right to me.

My dad and I were always very close and discussed politics and history plenty. Somehow he never told me these existed. After he died, my aunt told me about these books. Apparently his high school senior thesis (didn’t know that was a thing) was on Truman. The paper somehow made its way to Truman (teacher or family) with a request to sign these books and postage included for return. He did sign them and send them back and also included the postage as former presidents apparently don’t pay postage, according to his note (which no longer exists). They were on our shelf the whole time and obviously now mine
I thought cliffy’s PP would be his pimped out golf cart.

Not signed, of course, but I nearly kissed the man’s nuts who gave me this, the traveling sales rep for the region where the bookstore I managed at the time was located. As you can tell, I read it instantly.

Nut kissing is a very high sign of appreciation....he likely left disappointed.
The love he receives is the love that is saved

Somewhere, I hope, I still have chunks of the Berlin Wall -- broken off of it several years before it fell.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
I can't think of a single prized possession I own lol My great Grandma's apple pie filling recipe could qualify, but I have it memorized haha. I guess my Great Grandpa's Coleman stove is a prized possession, but not really because I still beat the shit out of it on nearly every camping trip lol
^^^Don't act like you wouldn't take her for a ride.
She would make quick work of my less-than-1-acre.
Then she could do the W.o.S.
with her W.A....nevermind

That gal is a champ. That really should be a victory lap, walking in no shoes in the snow. Just thought it was a funny contrast with the lawnmower / Notre Crap Hotties, etc.

the dude or gal who made her do that should be drawn and quartered.
unless, of course, that was her Quick Escape.

Yeah I think there is a common misconception about the WoS in many cases In college I get why it was called that.....but once out of college it became almost idiotic to bring flings to your place if you could go to hers same about giving out numbers. Take theirs, don't give yours.

I choose to see her as the champ, here.
I always preferred to go to my place. I liked being in my own space. Plus - guys sheets

I’ve never even had a one-nighter. An all-nighter, sure, but I couldn’t be with someone I didn’t know and trust. Not sure if I regret that in hindsight.

I can't imagine what it's like to hold that canteen.

She's a real beaut! I probably shouldn't feel the way I do about her, but she's more than just a lawnmower.
