Rewatching from the beginning, I now know where all of the Ukraine aid money is going.

The Warning-Disciple Live

Three sisters from Mexico. Lead guitarist is also the main singer and really good. The secret weapon is the youngest sister who plays bass.

Of the 48 missions my grandfather flew out of Italy he could remember the exact date and mission that the first squadron of escorts equipped with those paper mache drop tanks flew to the target and back. It drastically reduced their losses.
Yep. The “Soft Underbelly of Europe” it was called. They were quartered in old surplus tents that leaked and were frozen in the winter. He only talked about it once and then only briefly. You could tell that as a bombadier he carried the weight of all the people that were unfortunate to be beneath his bombs.
I was disappointed to learn they would be focusing on just the 8th out of England. My grandfather was on Liberators out of Foggia, Italy with the 15th. They had it rough in both living conditions and missions including several runs on Ploesti.

That rumor is wrong. No place for rumors at this point. Awful situation for the family.

Omar Epps character in the ER show was an LSU med graduate. In the episode one of the doctors says he went to Ole Miss and he corrects him.
Just saw the finale. Lots of action. I wont spoil anything. Look for some cool Easter eggs during one part where names are listed for Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie teams

For me the magic in Gilmour is listening to him take studio music that is great and turning it into spectacular live performances. “Fat Old Sun” from the Gdansk live album is my current favorite. He trades his acoustic at the end for that modified Fender Esquire and tears up that solo. Really breathes some rock into a fairly laid back pastoral English song.
Been waiting a while for this. My grandfather was bombardier on Liberators out of N Africa and Italy with over 45 missions including Ploesti. He would never talk about it. He said he did his job and got to go home.
Perhaps because women live longer and make up a larger percentage of nursing home residents. That is where the majority of the deaths are occurring.

The Live from Tanglewood version really showcases their musicianship on this song. Kath’s solo unreal.
25 or 6 to 4- Live from Tanglewood
Vertebrate Anatomy with Homberger when it was still a sophomore level class. Only 4 finished the semester and all got C’s. She was later fired for being too hard.
