The Mid Lent fair is in our town this week, went on some fast rides with my 7 year old, had to suck in the deep ones or I was going to lose my dinner.

Funniest thing was my wife said to my daughter as we were walking home “if daddy was 10 years younger he would go on more rides with you” my daughters quick reply was “mummy you are 10 years younger, what’s your excuse” brought a smile to my face

I’m old enough to remember when plastic surgery was a taboo topic.

These days you mention Botox and nobody raises an eyebrow.

They look much better now.

How naff, I thought, when I started hearing about heated seats in cars.

Just watched the second half of Australian Story with him and couldn’t believe it when I heard that.
Also a bombers supporter which I didn’t know.

Yes, iirc he started following EFC due to Kevin Sheedy’s advocacy for indigenous players

Came out in 1975, so closer to 50 years old (next year).

Still his best album. Come at me.

Born.
Sorry.
Don’t care if it’s populist.
12 tracks.
7 top 50 singles.
And it would have been more if more were released.
You can’t tell me Bobby Jean wouldn’t have charted.

Edit: or No Surrender

The topic was Born To Run…why are you talking about Born In The USA?

(which is a fine album…but not as good as Born To Run)

Me and Mrs THT were watching American Pie last night, just for a cheap laugh.

Mrs was freaking out the kids would walk in and catch some of it. They’re teenagers.

You’re gonna need to find seven to nine tracks…
Edit: which is tough since it only has eight.

Edit: edit: and I’ll give you three and a half.

Every single one!

Absolute stand out tracks in Thunder Road, Born To Run and Jungleland…all better than anything on Born In The USA .

That’s three of the three and a half, yes.

Overall…nooooooo.
