In the rock band Automatic, we did this song. I love this song. I love Tom Petty. He's stardust. BOOM!

ah, october

O Suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather;

When loud the bumblebee makes haste,
Belated, thriftless vagrant,
And goldenrod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant.

–Helen Hunt Jackson (1830–85)

Lucky opens, aptly enough, with a shot of a tortoise crawling across a desert. That’s a clue to the poky pace of the movie — and its namesake, a nonagenerian loner played to perfection by Harry Dean Stanton, who passed away at 91 shortly before the film was released. As we watch Lucky go through his mundane daily rituals (yoga in the morning, crossword puzzles over meals, game shows in the evening), the movie, directed with no great haste by actor John Carroll Lynch, creates a profoundly moving portrait of a man coming to terms with his imminent demise.

The DNA of a boy who lived in what is now known as South Africa 2,000 years ago has led scientists to believe "that humans emerged as a distinct population earlier than typically thought, between 350,000 and 260,000 years ago." Bruce Bower has more on that at Science News.

We knew that we were really really old! BOOM
