I went to see "The Baseball Project" in Harrisburg at a Senators game on Labor Day (Alas, no Bryce Harper.).  It was very enjoyable because...Steve Wynn!  Up close!  At a baseball game!  But actually Peter Buck dropped out the last few weeks of their tour because of "back problems."  I wondering now if it was something else.  I thought they were recording a new album?  R.E.M., I mean.

I know it's sad when a cult leader dies, but he wasn't a genius.  He wasn't a visionary.  He didn't make a "dent in the universe."  He was a seller of bullshit.  Look at all the sheep who obsess over iphones and ipads, etc.  Has he really made their lives better?  Lazier?  Yes.  More self-centered?  Certainly.  Whinier?  Obviously.

He didn't invent ANYTHING.  He wasn't charitable at ALL (the opposite of Bill Gates.  At least Bill Gates is making a difference with regards to world health issues.  THAT'S making a dent in the world, at least.)
He was like a glorified Shamwow! guy.
