Reply to TIL about Jim Gordon, a drummer that worked with George Harrison, and shared a songwriting credit for "Layla", with Eric Clapton, but suffered from various mental health issues and spent 40 years in jail for the murder of his mother. by jdward01
Great side story about how he stole a piano riff from (then girlfriend) Rita Coolidge and used it as the coda in the song Layla.

Charles Thompson always gets left just on the outside of these lists for me, but he's such a monster songwriter. He'd be on my top 6 list.

If there's a group of us, we just let the server know that we'll be asking for separate cheques, or cheques as couples, etc. They keep us separated by-seat and it's easy to pay your own way. As a non-drinker I'm not paying an equal share of their bottle of DRC. Fuck that. You pick up that tab.

Our POS system prints one total bill but has a 'split (X)' option so an equal number can be had no matter the number of guests, if that's their wish. Separate cheques per seat can be doled out as well. Options galore. The customer need only ask.

If Disney hadn't taught me to be perfectly happy with the bare necessities, I'd be living an overindulgent and stress-filled life in these turbulent & inflationary times.

I see someone hanging, facing the house, wearing a low-slung backpack and their hood up- but with a transparent Snoopy looking out of the back of their head.

Yeah, ain't that always the way? You get nuts with the skin eating.
