i'm going to guess andy's presence on the show was probably initially a function of conan's low self-esteem, and feeling he needed some help, but that was like 20 some years ago and now it's just a tradition.

Today another UA military helicopter was shot down with a general on board. All crew and passengers died. Considering how few working aircraft the Ukrainian military has and how many it lost so far. Give it another month and the skies will be deserted.

i think i'd be more concerned about what the russians decide to try out to try and get around their air superiority. they've been talking tough about this. i don't have any ideas, though - i understand the political aspect, but military matters are something i have no understanding of. that being said, you can bet they're not going to just sit there for the next ten years shooting down planes amidst heavy casualties. they're going to look at the situation, say "this is impossible" and do something else.

that whole 00s watered-down-u2 "post-punk" thing always did leave me cold.

the unforgettable fire was a good record, children. your parents probably have it. on vinyl, even. worth spinning.

to state the obvious, it's not even a beatles b-side. it's a passing thought lennon had when he was sitting on the toilet, and didn't even think was worth remembering.
