AM/PM

AM/PM convenience is now in chicago. They have brought a plague of ads. Really a plague of one ad. But! RE: the slogan: "Too much good stuff"
Dear AM/PM, that's exactly the problem. Love, me.

Classic rock is killing me

We listen to classic rock at work: 97.1 The Drive. They play "the greatest music ever made." Jerks.

So I hear a lot of songs over and over again. After they become wallpaper, totally background, certain patterns can pop back out, like the swirls in the ceiling that suddenly look like a face. One thing that grabbed me. The song: "Rock and Roll Heart." He says he "gets off" (ugh) on "screaming guitars" in a song which has a dramatic lack of them. In fact, the last time Clapton was around a screaming guitar was probably 73 when he made a record with Duane Allman.
