He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
And the palace in the sun

Nice on the live vinyl. I think you're right...only 1st album. Imo it's an under-appreciated album.

It is in my top 5 for sure…..doesn’t sound like a big deal but he has insane amount of records and if I checked mine I have more than 1 milk crate full……I would guess over 50 without checking my online report….so top 5 is pretty good.

How Kroger Became the Biggest Sushi Seller in America
Millions of shoppers agree: It’s OK to eat supermarket sushi. At U.S. retailers, sales are up over 70% in the past four years.
www.wsj.com
Sushi is a central component in Kroger’s strategy to expand beyond our grocery-shopping lists, and grab some of the dollars people budget for restaurants and eating out. The company’s executives say it’s working: Kroger’s data shows that the rolls bring new customers to its stores and encourage existing shoppers to visit more often. The grocery operator says it noticed in 2020 when it was reviewing data from consumer-research firm Circana Group that it was the nation’s biggest sushi retailer. It’s been grabbing an ever-larger share of the U.S. sushi market in the three years since.

www.wsj.com
Forty years later, Metallica is still on the road, playing to some of its biggest audiences of its career and grossing upward of $10 million a night. But they’re exercising temperance now: Instead of cases of beer and bottles of booze, the band is fueled by Peloton, tofu and a good night’s sleep.
