What's the most underrated record you've ever worked on?
This Perfect World by Freedy Johnston. An amazing singer-songwriter, I'm very close to him still; he sang at my wedding. The song "This Perfect World" is one of my favorite songs I've ever recorded. At the time I did that, people were taken aback because he's just like, a folk singer. It takes a couple listens to get used to his voice—he's got that high Midwestern twang—but there's some beautiful, beautiful songs on it.

fulltimewithdental:
Last night a man robbed a bank in the next town over. Instead of sticking up the teller, he hands over a note. The teller gives the man $1,600.
He then goes around town to pay off bills and write checks to people he owes money too.
From there, he visits his mom where he shaves off his beard, and…
Wait—is this a true story? Or, like, a parable or something?

– So the thing I find most disturbing about Bristol Palin’s blog isn’t that it’s so obviously written by a 45-year-old staffer. It’s that the 45-year-old staffer is so bad at pretending to be a 20-ish woman….

Lincoln was requesting a patent for “The Gazette,” a system to “keep People aware of Others in the Town.” He laid out a plan where every town would have its own Gazette, named after the town itself.

I'll Take "Politicians Walking Back Deeply-Held...
CONSTITUENT: My question concerns your current and previous feelings toward the author and philosopher Ayn Rand. [...] Mr. Ryan, are you telling us that your political career was founded on the concepts of a rally of hers, but until recently, you never realized Ayn Rand was an outspoken atheist, that she felt altruism was evil, supported abortion, and condemned Christianity for advocating compassion for the poor?
PAUL RYAN: [...] Just because you like someone’s novels doesn’t mean you agree with their entire worldview philosophy. She has a worldview philosophy which is completely antithetical to mine because she has an atheist philosophy. [...] It’s really kind of a canard, is what I would say.
CONSTITUENT: You spoke as a keynote speaker for Ayn Rand banquets. You were quoted at length about how you loved her. You say you grew up and Ayn Rand taught you who you are and what your values are. I think we’ve learned the question of your honesty.
RYAN: It’s a great book! It’s a great book! Let’s go on to somebody over here, I think we’ve covered it pretty well. By the way, I don’t require it. I have a reading list. Lots of young people ask me what are good books. I give them Alexis de Tocqueville, I take the Founders, Friedman, Hayek, Atlas Shrugged. There are lots of good books worth reading if you want to study freedom, free enterprise, the Founders, economics. There are a lot of good books out there to read, it doesn’t mean that you subscribe to the person’s worldview and philosophy. That’s really kind of a stretch.
