Meyer's a pseudoscience creationist who's being interviewed by Shapiro. Both extremely intelligent people who can make any argument sound reasonable. It's mental masturbation, not science.

I still think Achilles Last Stand is probably their most underappreciated work

Agreed, and Presence their most underrated, or at least under listened to, album. I know folks who are fans of Zeppelin who say they've never listened to that one.

Exactly.

Does Jerry Rafferty count?

Gerry Rafferty does count. And a trivia question I always throw out when Baker Street or one of his other songs comes on is this: What band did he have a big hit with before going solo, and what was it?

Acutely herniated disc C2/C3. Picked up a box and felt like someone stabbed me in the neck. Fell to the ground. Wife drove me to Urgent Care where I was holding my left arm (pain) and sweating profusely because I stupidly thought a hot bath might help first. The doctor dropped her clipboard and rushed me back to check for a heart attack. I was laughing, and she wondered why. I told her I knew she had to check that but it was likely musculoskeletal. I got the rolling eyes and the EKG.

Hurt like a mother for several weeks after. Got injections there to stem the tide of pain until it healed.

He had started a band over 10 years ago. Don't know if they are still playing.

Got to see him play after his album came out at a little bar in Kenner. Talked to him for a while and he seemed really cool. The album was "Anger Management". This single is below. Perfect for the Jets game.

He tears into Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. and Mike Martz, and says he should have "stayed my arse in New Orleans".

Been to Spain and Portugal twice in the last two years.

--agreed with going to Porto. Great waterfront area where the Douro River hits the Atlantic. Also hit the Douro Valley wine country by train or boat.

--You're close to Andalucia (southern Spain region). Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada--you can't go wrong. We loved Malaga on the Mediterranean coast.

Once you're in Spain you can high-speed train between any major cities.

Christopher Cross - Ride Like The Wind
They seriously need to remaster this song where that insane guitar solo overrides the "dah dah dah" stuff.

Rick Beato did a video specifically about that. He says he got robbed with the production of the song. He talks about this and isolates the solo at around the 4:50 mark.

Yes, please.
