Still in Gen X nostalgia mode. I discovered these guys (Twinsthenewtrend) during Covid. Their first reaction to Phil Collins's “In the Air Tonight“ not only went viral, but the publicity caused the song to reach #2 on the iTunes top songs sales for August 18 and 19 in 2020, almost 40 years after its release.

Listening to Phil today. 🥁

Suet624 I love watching folks reactions to songs that are embedded in our lived experience. (edited) 1d

dabbe @Suet624 I'd like to hope it's not fake because they seem to have a genuine response! Their reaction to Dolly Parton's JOLENE and Led Zeppelin's IMMIGRANT SONG are hoots, too. 1d

Amiable LOVE Phil Collins 1d

lil1inblue Too funny. I just commented on another post that Phil was among my first 3 cassettes (not the one with this song, though). I just love him. 😍 1d

lil1inblue @dabbe @amiable Also, I highly recommend this piece from This American Life that includes Phil himself! https://www.thisamericanlife.org/339/break-up/act-one-32 1d

dabbe @Amiable #dittomydear! I hate that he ruined his back by playing drums all those years. 😢

dabbe @lil1inblue Ooh, thanks for this! 💙 1d

Bookwormjillk @lil1inblue that was such a great episode of This American Life. Thanks for the reminder! 1d

TieDyeDude I dropped everything mentally and did the drum breakdown in my head just now 😋 1d

Hooked_on_books When I read this post, I immediately heard that drum riff in my head. Phil forever! 1d

Hooked_on_books I just went and watched their video. Phil Collins is such an indelible part of my childhood that it‘s hard to imagine someone who has never heard his songs. It was fun watching them discover him. 1d

Reggie One of my favorite episodes of family guy is a take on Poltergeist and right before one of the breaks, it has to do with Stewie, there‘s that Phil Collins drum riff. lol 1d

dabbe @TieDyeDude Somehow I just knew that you would. 🤣🤩🫂 1d

dabbe @Hooked_on_books One of the best riffs ever. #iconic 💙🩶🖤 1d

dabbe @Hooked_on_books And it was the drum riff that blew them out of their seats. Oh, they are a hoot. If you want to visit (ahem) classic music through a (what the heck are they--Gen Z?) youngster's innocence, there are a ton to watch. It's been my zen. 💙🩶🖤 1d

dabbe @Reggie This is what I love about pop culture. Look at all of those allusions/connections you cited. So someone who did not grow up in the 70s-80s now knows Phil Collins. Maybe not his name but his riff. 🎶 1d

Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype | Clarissa Pinkola Est�s Phd

#wildwomen #lalobas

For me, I escape into the trees. I talk to them, hug them, smell their bark, listen to them in the wind ... they are my soul-source. Favorite spot? Going around the aspen loop trail up to Arizona's highest mountain, Mt. Humphreys (12,000+ feet). That is where I find my idea of god.

kspenmoll Such a beautiful photo. I get the trees! 🌳 4mo

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

It's been a while. Couldn't resist another survey for fall. If you've read it OR seen it, it counts. If you've only read one in a series, it counts. Give yourself the best score possible!

Share your score (if you want). List 3 faves/3 hates/3 you thought should have been here/3 whatever-you-wants. ALL play! 😍

All pertain to autumn in some way--even if it just begs to be read in fall.

JenlovesJT47 Got 35 👀 4mo

Librarybelle Counting one or two titles I‘ve seen and not read, I got 36. Fall is my kind of reading. 😂 4mo

TheBookHippie 66!!!! No potter- twilight- hunger games and an unread Christie 🤣👀😊 (edited) 4mo

See All 57 Comments

Amiable 31… I like this list that provides more validation than the previous ones! 😖😄 4mo

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Wow! Three of my favorite books are on the List: Anna Karenina -The Count of Monte Cristo-We Have Always Lived in the Castle. (edited) 4mo

willaful 73%, not bad! @Amiable - agreed! 4mo

BookmarkTavern This one looks fun! 4mo

Suet624 Oooh, I was bad. Only 26%. Yjkes. 4mo

CogsOfEncouragement So many good ones on this list!
66% 46 out of 70 I‘m rereading Wuthering Heights right now. I‘ve seen Something Wicked This Way Comes and hope to read the Green Town trilogy this autumn. I read The Crucible last spooky season and it was a heartbreaker for me. Just so sad what happened, I didn‘t anticipate my reaction because I didn‘t have an understanding of the actual events - just worse than I thought. 4mo

Bookwomble 45/70 = 64% 😊 4mo

zezeki I think I did well, 43%. 4mo

melissajayne Got 35; most I have seen and read. 4mo

rwmg 73% including a couple of DNF and 1 where I saw the film rather than read the book (I've only read the first Twilight book but I'm counting the series ) (edited) 4mo

Bookwormjillk 69% including some DNFs and one where I only saw the play. I think Northanger Abbey is my favorite from the list. Also loved Woman in White with the #hastagbrigade 4mo

AnnCrystal

The Hobbit

Something Wicked This Way Comes

And Then There Were None

👏🏼🥳📚🎬🥳👍🏼🥳👌🏼 Thanks for the tag. 4mo

TheAromaofBooks 42!! Several of the unread ones are still on my neverending TBR 😂 4mo

ElizaMarie 34 of 70 · 49% --- I feel like this is wrong!? I feel like I had read some of the others, but I couldnt fully remember if I read them or meant to (and knew the story because pop culture) - (edited) 4mo

Cuilin 45/70 64% so many great books The Count of Monte Christo, Both Agatha Christie‘s, Both Shakespeare‘s, and the two Jane Austen‘s. Special mention for the Turn of the Screw by Henry James. (edited) 4mo

Cuilin @Amiable yes I liked the validation of this list too. ☺️ 4mo

Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks same. It never ends the TBR 😔 4mo

We do not care that our stitches came out yesterday and that the skin had grown over them. Didn't hurt a bit. 😅 We also do not care that our doctor admonished us for taking off our sling too early. We told him the padding was really uncomfortable. He then told us that it was removable. We then felt like an idiot--thought we didn't care that much! Honestly. Now, one more week in the sling until PT. 💪🏻

LiseWorks Sometimes dr can be dorks 😁 4mo

Amiable Getting stitches removed is often worse than the surgery! It always makes me squeamish and woozy. 😖 4mo

lil1inblue The stitches part gave me spine shivers just a little bit! But I don't care because I'm glad you're progressing on your healing path! 😅 💓 💓 4mo

We do not care that our older sister has insisted that we need a bra for our upcoming niece's wedding. We don't care that she has measured us and gone bra shopping for us because we refused to. We HATE bras. We don't care if our boobs one day lie on the ground. They're happy being free, and so are we.
P.S. We will wear a bra to the wedding, but we won't be happy about it.

lil1inblue The last time I wore a real bra was for my sister's wedding. It was hot & horrible. I snuck in the bathroom and took it off during the reception. 😂 😂 😂 #freetheboobies 5mo

TheBookHippie OMG 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 5mo

kelli7990 I don‘t like bras either. I don‘t wear one when I‘m at home. I only wear one when I go outside and put snacks for the birds and squirrels in the front yard. One time when I didn‘t have one on, a guy in a truck drove by my house really slowly and stopped to look at me and I worried that he was looking at me because he saw that I wasn‘t wearing a bra but then after he decided he saw enough of me then he drove on by. 5mo

Amiable She actually “measured” you?? OMG, I have a mental image of your sister chasing you down and wrestling you to the ground to wrap your chest with a measuring tape. 😄 (edited) 5mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie 😂😍😂 5mo

dabbe @Amiable You wouldn't be far off. One our sisters' vacay, she brought a tape measure “just in case“ and got me measured after I'd had a couple of cosmos. Seriously. 😂😍😂 5mo

Amiable @dabbe 😂😂 5mo

Eggbeater I refuse to wear one in the house or in my own backyard. They are torture devices invented by men. If my neighbors don't like it, they can look elsewhere! 5mo

mcctrish I have recently gone on a big bra shop, ordering and trying on a bunch from many different stores. I have settled on 2 styles from Aerie that legit feel like I‘m wearing next to nothing - have basically no support but sort of corral things. It‘s a new day 5mo

AprilMae The joys of working from home means there's maybe 1 day a week I have to wear a bra and 9/10 it's a sports bra or lounge bra so no underwire lol. That only happens for special occasions hahaha 5mo
