Ride is back.

This is Ride now.



I haven't been to a concert in 8 years. I am old and I don't like people anymore.

I never got to see Ride live but I know every word of every song. If I could play a guitar, I would've made it my business to learn every cord. Few bands have meant so much to me over the years. They are back and I have got to get to their show(s). Here is a great NME interview video to set the mood.



This is Ride then.



Uhg. Where did my youth go?

Stephen Colbert shocks South Carolina schools by funding every single teacher-requested grant


Good guy, Stephen Colbert gives a lesson in charitable giving.

Wow. Just wow:

Comedian Stephen Colbert announced Thursday that he would fund every existing grant request South Carolina public school teachers have made on the education crowdfunding website DonorsChoose.org.

Colbert made the announcement on a live video feed Thursday at a surprise event at Alexander Elementary School in Greenville.

Colbert partnered with Share Fair Nation and ScanSource to fund nearly 1,000 projects for more than 800 teachers at over 375 schools, totaling $800,000.

There are certainly a lot of teachers in South Carolina celebrating this week. Thank you, Stephen Colbert!
