Yay for Mo's bar; I've spent a few nights I can't remember there myself.

When I first heard this Future Islands track I was totally underwhelmed; but then I watched this passionate Letterman performance and, well, see for yourself...

I'll freely admit to not liking pretty much anything Springsteen has done musically, but the Royals cover is truly awful. I've witnessed some pretty lame attempts by touring artists to endear themselves to the home crowd but that one takes the biscuit.
I quite like this though - recommended by my teenage son... -

Wow that looks like a nice selection of tasty food! It's evident that a lot of effort has gone into providing a high standard for this event, starting with what will be a really nice venue.

We used to hear stories about parents who had beaten their children with a length of hose or similar, which was deemed acceptable by the courts as 'reasonable force'. This is no longer acceptable which is a good thing.
Surely the long term goal is for a change in attitudes about parental violence against children, and this requires having a clear line which shouldn't be crossed.
