My dad was a big Arena Rock and Prog Rock guy: bands like Kansas, REO Speedwagon, and ELO — but also Styx, Jethro Tull, Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
My dad was also a fan of Cheap Trick, but they’re from my hometown and had a pretty big footprint there.
Later, my dad got more into Country music but his old record collection was all of this kind of classic rock.

Bruce Springsteen - I always thought it was generic Dad music but then I discovered Nebraska.
Steely Dan - idk it’s a vibe once you dig in
The Replacements - I couldn’t get into them for the longest time but wanted to bc I know they inspired a lot of my favorite artists and then one day all the songs just started getting stuck in my head and i listen to them all of the time now

I’m not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But it’s pretty extreme when people say they ”hate kids” and I often feel it’s a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids “should be.” That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
It’s fucking hard to be a kid. You’re dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. It’s confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when they‘re brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe that’s the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.
