You and your iPhone might need to enter a 12-step program if, during one of the rare occasions in which you are listening to FM radio, you hear Rock ‘N Roll All Night by KISS.
That’s not really a problem until your first thought is to “share” the song on Facebook. And then you remember you can’t because you are listening to the radio instead of listening to Spotify on your phone.
I both worship and curse you, Steve Jobs.
Dave Matthews of Muscatine takes a break during RAGBRAI in 2012.

The Good News: A sunny afternoon with temperatures in the 30s gave me incentive to get Blue Zone-ish. So I walked the four blocks round trip from MCSA to Muscatine City Hall to pay a parking ticket.
The Better News: Going to City Hall gave me a chance to shoot the bull with Muscatine Mayor DeWayne “Hoppi” Hopkins.
The Best News: It wasn’t my parking ticket.
So I’ve been listening to 80s music this morning and I just helped finish and turn in the annual United Way grant application for MCSA. It was a last-minute project that was turned in some 40 minutes before it was due.
Completing it makes me feel like I should be back at Morningside College in 1987.
But if that were really true, I’d be celebrating by skipping the rest of my classes for the day and cracking open a Stroh’s — the cheap beer I often drank back then.
Instead, I’m getting ready to go to Rotary. Ah, the joys of being a grown up.
