Time keeps slipping into the future says Steve Miller!

Jimmy almost went to the concert but forgot he had AJ Croce tix for the same night. He talks about the show which featured Croce plays Croce. It was a mix of solo, covers, and his father, Jim Croce’s work.

The audience was a sea of white apparently.

Jim Croce’s superstardom only spanned about 18 months, and three albums. It wasn’t until his third album, “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim,” that his international fame kicked into high gear.

1h5m – Jon seems to know a lot about Crocodiles.

“Crocs are light and airy, they have a wide forefoot and provide good arch support. However, these shoes do not adequately support the heel enough to secure the shoe properly onto the foot.” So while they might be a great option to take out the trash, they’re not the best pair for extended periods of wear. – https://www.wellandgood.com/are-crocs-good-for-your-feet
