I have a feeling that our unemployment rate is actually more around 20% than 8. They play with the numbers so much to try and soften the blow…

It is complicated. Wish we had better data. This article looks at the ‘gap’ between unemployment data and disability numbers. http://www.statisticsblog.com/2013/03/minding-the-reality-gap

I’m seeing some smaller businesses using Facebook as their *only* web presence.

And that’s scary.

This sounds like such a good idea — “somebody” could be YOU.

Operation Mindcrime really was the pinnacle, at least on a thematic level— metal as the ultimate anti-authoritarian vehicle.

I think that Pyromania would also be my personal pick for apogee of hair metal.

Guns N’ Roses I have mixed feelings about. “Sweet Child O’ Mine”? Nothing. No reaction. But “Welcome to the Jungle”? That hit dead center, right where I live. Even the video, with the straightjacket and the theme of mind control and television. When that first album dropped, you could hear it like a shot around the hard rock world: “thank God, hair metal is dead.”

I don’t even bother with the apostrophe in my last name most of the time!

Good stuff. Enjoyed (and nodded my head) reading the commentary, esp. in regard to Guns N’ Roses, Van Halen, and Europe. But it bugged me that you slacked off and didn’t put the umlaut over the ‘y’ in Queensrÿche.

Thanks for the rec! I’ll have to track it down for my 14 yo épéeist.

This happened to my mom on her first date with her now husband Carl. She got locked in the bathroom at the restaurant.

For a half an hour!

Just to be safe, I think we’ll stick to Applebee’s and Chili’s for a while.
