Sublime continues to be one of the more unique stories in music history. Band’s on the rise, frontman dies, band gets big, influences tons of bands & then 30 years later return w/ late frontman’s son filling it for his dad. #Sublime

Gotta tell ya, chef, still find myself thinking about “Forks” from #TheBear S2 once a day. The Xmas ep is deserving of all the praise it gets but “Forks” was my favorite ep. What that show is able to do in 30-40 mins is amazing.
