Better luck next year, yo.

Over the last five years, postal service workers have formed strong gang alliances among themselves, and this is just some of the violence boiling over. The shooter is from the gang, the “Stamps”, and was targeting rivals of the gang, the “Weird Little Trucks”. How many more will die in this bitter turf war?
I first caught wind of Grandaddy when they opened for Coldplay in Dallas in 2000. Between the sound and the video, they blew my mind and I immediately latched on. They easily stole the show . It was an elec-ternative revolution in my world . 
The other day when I listened to “Wives of Farmers”, it felt nostalgic, but I didn’t think it’d be this nostalgic. I still want “So You’ll Aim Toward the Sky” played at my funeral. 
Something in my skull just popped. I can feel my brain leaking. Why, O Lord, why? Please, please, please, please, please say it ain’t so. Fellas, fellas, take some time off for yourselves, do whatever, chill, get away from it for a while, sip on some ‘ritas, take a trip to Barbados, learn how to quilt. Whatever. Just don’t tell me it’s over for good.
