Lutrinae!  Go to the corner, and think about what you did.  *points*

... you learn something new every day, I guess. You learn who Tom Petty is/was, and I learn you're either female or LGBTQ.

I am not particularly a huge music fan; which is not to state that I don't have artists I like. It's just that all the artists I do like are female. The male singing voice just doesn't speak to me, and I'm a gay male. One would think I would prefer male musicians.

That phoenomenon isn't unprecedented. In a 2014 interview, Sam Smith cited his influences, exclusively female; he stated "It's all I listened to. I actually didn't listen to male vocalists until about two years ago. I just listened to Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan. Massive voices." And a year ago, he had to be reminded of who Radiohead's Thom Yorke was when pressed with their competing versions of the "Spectre" theme.

Anybody else got Pythons "Holy Grail" stuck in their head?

A bit too preoccupied with "Mary Jane's Last Dance" at the moment:

Well it's official now - he's dead, Jim.

I don't know how much of a tragedy this is. He was one of those guys who chose to live life hard and to the fullest. He sure did better than Jim Morrison and Janice Joplin. Living that intense and making it to 66 years is pretty good, really. It would be better if we could rock as hard as we want for as long as we want but I don't think he had much to complain about. He had a good life.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
