A 68Comeback, A Broken Heart, And You’re Still On My Mind

On the May 2, 2013 edition of the 68Comeback Special, we (very royally) mourned George Jones, re-mourned Adam Yauch, celebrated Willie Nelson’s 80th birthday, counted down how many weeks until Neko Case breaks our daughter’s heart (15) and also cryptically observed a milestone in said daughter’s life. No Grade 6 Report because Gabe was on his way back from the Fort MacMurray fact-finding mission, but next week’s report, you do not want to miss. Tom’s back next week too, so that’s the very least of what next week’s got going for it, but this week was really good, too.

It Is Decided

By now, surely everyone who cares about Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore’s marriage, or lack thereof, have read Lizzy Goodman’s interview with KG in Elle. And, because it’s important to do this, even in cases where you don’t actually know the couple in question, many have decided who’s right and who’s wrong in that marriage and have chosen their side accordingly.

What many have NOT done, however, is given much thought to whom TM’s other woman is. If you are one of those people, you are sucking all the fun out of celebrity divorce. So – if I may – until it is proven otherwise, I am asserting that Thurston Moore is dating Kim Deal, and while there’ll be a tweak to the lineup, the band ain’t breaking up.

A 68Comeback Life For Me

On the April 11, 2013 edition of the 68Comeback Special, we mourned Reveen, warned Margaret Thatcher and Ralph Klein to stay gone, promised the kids something very blecchy for supper (a lie; we fed them very well this evening), dedicated a song to Tom, who couldn’t come today because he was either facing Death or revelling in his bachelor’s life, and other stuff, too. If you missed the Grade 6 Report, well that’s really your loss because it was sooo good (he spoke a lot of French), and if you missed the whole show, then you’ve probably missed Sister Double Happiness for another decade. EVENTFUL.
