Steve Marriott - "Teenage Anxiety"
From the album Afterglow: Rare! Live! Unreleased!
(February 16, 2021)
Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm
Tribute to Steve Marriott given away with the April 2021 issue of Mojo
The original Humble Pie were in the past by the time I began listening to rock and roll, but the group that Steve Marriott and Jerry Shirley reformed in 1979 had a certain amount of notoriety among the pothead rockers I hung out with, because the band were on that Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon tour with Frank Marino, Mother’s Finest and Angel, four hard rock bands of various ilk for the fan-friendly price of $5.00.
I didn’t go to that show, which stopped at the Hollywood Snortatorium sometime in April of 1980, but spent the balance of my teenage years wishing I had. Sometime around then I also bought Performance: Rockin’ The Fillmore with that awesome version of “I Don’t Need No Doctor.” It’s a great record, but for some reason it was the only Humble Pie disc I ever bought.
Later on I would see a band with Marriott but without Shirley that called itself Humble Pie at the Kendall Crown Rockin’ Lounge. This would have been 1982 or 1983, so it’s possible I would have been under age. Still, not sure whether Mark Gadol and I just happened to be drinking there, or if we went out special, but I remember it was a pretty kick ass show, unknown backing band and all. Off off broadway or not, Marriott sang his fucking ass off.
I also remember Marriott taking off his fisherman’s cap at some point, and making fun of his balding head. I remember thinking that anyone who could laugh at himself in that way couldn’t be an arrogant rockstar cunt. When much later, I heard that Marriott had died in a house fire, the horror of such a thing was magnified by my memory of that show: shit, he was a nice guy, too.

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.

What You Need to Know About Teenage Depression
Teenage depression is a severe issue due to a lack of communication and an inability to express feelings. Teenagers frequently hold back on telling their parents about their concerns because they fear retaliation. Parents don't push their children to share because they think you could consider it an invasion of their privacy.
Some issues that cause depression in teenagers are
Social Causes
Physiological Causes
Academic causes
The type and intensity of your teen's depressive symptoms will determine the course of treatment. A combination of talk therapy (psychotherapy) and medicine can be practical for most depressed adolescent patients.

*tries to organize my thoughts*
*remembers i'm not in school and therefore beholden to neither heaven nor hell nor any man's grading system*

(*coughing up itty bits of paper like a cat evicting a hairball with a firm understanding of tenants' rights*) wait wat happens next

The problem with "what instruments would your OCs play in a rock band" meme is twofold:
It forces one to negotiate the conflicting priorities of a. staying true to the characters' personalities and b. actually having a lineup.
At least half the people on this site only know the difference between lead and bass guitars because of cartoons.

One of the earliest examples of Leo’s “I’ll do my own thing to accomplish our goal without discussing it with my team first” is in episode one. It’s super, super quick, and ultimately inconsequential, but it subtly sets up a great precedent that I think is very interesting.
When the boys need to grab the medallion from Splinter without Splinter noticing, Raph, Mikey, and Donnie huddle together with Raph taking the lead in trying to devise a plan to get the mystic device. Meanwhile, Leo slinks away and grabs the device by clocking the situation (by knowing his father well enough to predict his actions - something he does with each family member multiple times in the series) and making a move on his own.
It works out perfectly fine, and is ultimately the best move, and it’s honestly okay that he didn’t consult everyone for something so small when it’s such a non issue to get it, but it nicely sets up how this tends to go in the series, including how it goes in the movie.
To be honest episode one is actually really good at setting up a lot of things for each character in the long run, this is just one example that caught my attention, as small and unassuming as it is.

you know, there are a lot of posts about how transitioning as an adult is like going through puberty all over again. and I’m not medically transitioning (at least not yet, maybe one day), so I don’t know if I ever expected to exactly experience that. after all, my hormones are at normal adult levels for someone on birth control. but no, some of the stuff I experience does make me feel like a teenager awkwardly becoming an adult again, actually.
see, I’m attending a friend’s wedding, and I need new formalwear for it (protip: it is generally frowned upon to wear a wedding dress to someone else’s wedding, and that’s the last formalwear I purchased). and I just… really didn’t want to wear a dress, so I went to go get a suit. and I didn’t know how to get any of the required clothes for it and had to have a salesperson help me figure out how dress shirts work and nervously stood there while getting shown how to try stuff on and it really did feel like I was a lost teenager, despite being, you know, almost twenty-six.
but also: I own a three-piece suit now! it’s grey! it looks pretty good on me! I even got a blue tie with bees on it! so it was worth the temporary embarrassment of suddenly realizing I don’t know how men’s formalwear sizes work and, oh god, why are there so many variations of “white dress shirt” what does this mean.
and I figure as I very slowly work up the confidence to be out more irl there will be more and more moments like this, and I’ll lament the fact I didn’t do all this stuff as an actual teenager, but as weird and scary as it is, so far, it’s been worth it.
