...they were embarrassed to display their vulnerable side. The album is lyrically simple. Some of the songs, such as “Back To Your Heart,” seem to be about the band itself—the trials it underwent, the break-up, the reconciliation, etc. Mascis cryptically sings: “Tell me what you want and I will try to be, everywhere, all the time, think about the future, let the past unwind.” The lyrics come between repeated choruses of “Back To The Heart,” offering an optimistic...
...somehow I had been the only one banished to the nether regions), I made my way down the aisle. As I neared the rear of the aircraft, it distinctly seemed like the number of “undesirable” passengers (think: old men who fart, women with dogs, etc.) was increasing exponentially.

Airlines, after all, have proved perfectly capable of managing their own safety standards and equipment maintenance with federal oversight.

Instead, we might offer that many people (say, eight people in every twenty person section) use them, and most find them helpful...
...continuation of at least some of the comforts of childhood. When you're a resident, the chairman is always right. You rotate off services - the worst disaster patient is somebody else's problem at the end of six weeks. There's no office to run, no payroll, insurance, rent etc. You only do the interesting part of the job: medicine. Long fellowships and residencies prolong this state. And produce a bunch of narrow specialists...
