          Late to the halftime show talk but wanted to throw my comments in the mix!
          I’ve hit the unfortunate point in life where finding new music/artists that turn me up too much a chore and am mostly content w what is currently in the library. Not so stuck in my middle aged ways to deny that there will always be brilliant young talent but again requires too much effort to not only uncover these artists but more so find that anything truly worth enjoying takes multiple views or listens to appreciate the creativity of what your consuming and find that I simply do not give things as much a chance these days.
          Back to Kendrick Lamar. I knew who he was (did not know of said Drake beef nor care too much for it albeit mildly amusing) and have heard his music but never knowing who the artist was. Suffice to say it did not really grab me nor was I in an environment to give it much a chance/mostly just heard his stuff in passing and kept it moving. Well along come the Super Bowl halftime show and holy shit what a performance. I was not sure if I loved it or hated it when i saw it live but it no doubt demanded your attention and sure as hell thought about it later. Each subsequent watch had me more and more on board. Now?!? Can NOT get that last song out of my head (nor do I want to) and find my 40 year old white ass shuffle walking all over the place.

            Live I thought the audio was muddled but I did rewatch on Apple Music and it was so much more enjoyable.

            Kind of a shame the beef is distracting from all the other things he was saying and the performers were doing. It’s the least subversive part of the whole affair.

            Think it, be it.

              Quality denim jeans look odd for the first days of wear.

                I prefer manual transmissions and think we’d be better off without or with fewer automatic transmissions, as they abet distracted driving. It forces you to be more present as a driver to be more engaged with the car.

                Think it, be it.

                  @mclaincausey …and to add to that thought: I miss the choice when purchasing a vehicle.

                    @goosehd agreed and especially on “sports” cars. Having a manual did suck in stop and go traffic in Atlanta though but definitely way more fun.

                      @mclaincausey 100% agree, and I would include driving assistance systems as well. Pros and cons but I see the risk of relying too heavily on technology

                        @mclaincausey those were the days and great point on distracted driving. Few things more satisfying than going through the gears. Also loved how people’s “cadence” w the clutch varied almost like a persons signature.

                          Yeah, I can almost guarantee that if I get into a car without reversing beepers, I'll hit something 🙂

                            @Tago-Mago we rented a car over last holiday break and was equipped with lane assist and collision mitigation. Never did I want to fight an inanimate object as much in my life.

                              In @Giles post the other day regarding his Grandfather’s cars, one of the things I noticed was quite a few of them (probably most) had sliding mesh gear boxes. When you think about him racing around in those cars and the damage that could be done by one missed shift makes you appreciate how easy we have it today.

                                @Giles so did you have parking assistance installed on Sakura?

                                  On a daily driver, hard disagree. My level of engagement doesn’t change one bit, and I don’t have to change gear 1000 times an hour in heaven traffic.

                                  On a fun vehicle where the drive is the point, not the destination then sure, manual is better.

                                    @flannel-slut so very true!!! I love when someone just connects with their car and the shifting is as smooth as silk. Perfectly timed and seamless shifts working through the gears...

                                    I really miss a manual in the car, but at least I still have the motorcycles. 🙂

                                        @Tago-Mago I have a Paula........

                                        Though, what we have learnt is that it takes a long time to learn how to communicate efficiently on the boat. We have Marriage Savers, which are a blessing. And we are now getting pretty good. Paula, as some of you may have noticed, can talk. All I need at the helm is data, not fucking War and Peace, or "quite close", or "erm, I think.....", or "whoops, sorry I meant Port"
