Just like the song chosen at the end of “The Sopranos” every episode, Rich’s musical musical choices just round off the edges.
What will today bring?
Great choice

Cornell has one of, if not the, best rock voices out there. IMO

Although they said this song is about attempting to be normal, it seems depressing to me. I guess this ties into Illinois politics.

Well-played Mr. Miller, well-played. Using Soundgarden, you conceptualized the core of the debate over the mass of Illinois’ discontent. Both parties placing these sins on the other…

Awesome choice, timely lyrics, now I’m dreading the arrival of the Black Hole Sun to come July 1.

Nice tunes
BTW the morning lite also helped Rep. Kay (IL’s smartest rep) report his Rauner rental payment —$8K. Why he got tier cash is really a mistake. The number of GOPies who have not disclosed the Rauner rental checks is “most”
Guessin’ they are holding out for the Brauer/Rosenthal payment schedule

2 members of Soundgarden grew up in Park Forest, IL…Kim Thayil (whose mom was a teacher and still lives in the area)and Hiro Yamamoto.

Liked it, but didn’t love it. You got any Captain and Tennille in that collection of yours? lol

I helped a buddy and pay my membership to his small metal gym while I was in school and this album brings back fantastic memories of lifting, learning and loving.

Nice! Saw those guys a few times during the grunge era. Good shows.

Excellent choice as always, Rich. Superunknown is a brilliant album. Perfect for our current state of affairs.

It’s a feeling I’ve had a lot lately.

I know this is way off topic, but how about a discussion of dramatically increasing both the tax rate and the personal exemption? I saw that idea in a letter to the editor on your news feed and I rather like the idea even though it will increase my taxes a little, it seems like a good way to get around the constitutional amendment and increase revenues much more quickly.
