Best made plans
Its hard to believe Chris Froome is out of the Tour de France, that Brazil got beaten 7-1 and Spain exited the World Cup so soon. I'm in Spain at the moment and you wouldn't know there is a World Cup on apart from it being shown on TV. ��Compared to the euphoria 4 years ago there is zero atmosphere.
All of the above teams / competitors went into their competitions thinking they had a strong chance of success and planned meticulously.
But the best made plans come crashing down.
It stuck me that this happens for all of us and the test is really about how we bounce back.
Interesting to see how Froome reacts.

Quote
The ultimate problem for Apple, Beats and any other media distributor is that people want to experience art for themselves. These marketers speak in terms of data, simplification, and “music discovery,” an asinine formalization of “turning on the radio.” It’s not about discovery, the “user experience,” or their “trust” in your brand: it’s about finding a way we can arrive at music, on our own terms, free of the hype, advertisements, PR chicanery, and editorial bias you’re offering. We’re not paying you to tell us what to like: we’re paying you to provide us an easy platform through which to navigate music. Shut up, and take our money.

Yes, this.

Good article reviewing (another) new Dylan book …
Kinney’s book reveals that Dylan himself is actually a red herring; what Dylanologists are actually after is a meaning in their own lives.
