On take No. 5, Gough finally nails it, and it’s worth the wait. “You Were Right,” a galloping, bittersweet confessional, really is one of the top five songs ever written by Badly Drawn Boy. And that’s saying something. Ever since the Manchester, England, native won Britain’s Mercury Prize for his 2000 debut, “The Hour of Bewilderbeast,” his refreshingly unironic sound has beguiled critics on both sides of the Atlantic. On “You Were Right,” Gough wonders aloud just how much it’s fair to expect from music–a fraught subject for any singer–and how fatherhood changed him more than any song ever did....

The loss so one-sided partially because the 49ers lost the ability to throw the ball in the second half, after Brock Purdy was forced to return to the game with an injured arm when Josh Johnson was knocked out. Purdy and the 49ers’ passing offense was rendered inert, with the quarterback attempting just two passes upon his second-half return.

Kytch, a startup that utilizes technology to monitor soft serve machines’ performance, has sued the McDonald’s Corporation for $900 million for what Kytch alleges is a dereliction of duty regarding maintaining its machines, along with forcing independent operators to pay for costly repairs and maintenance to keep machines running. “McDonald’s is best known for its world-famous burgers, fries, and broken ice cream machines,” says the opening line of the lawsuit, filed by Kytch cofounders Jeremy O’Sullivan and Melissa Nelson in U....

They expected bumping and banging and wrecking and, quite possibly, a fight. They at least expected controversy and tempers to flare. That was what short-track racing was all about back then. They expected drivers to move each other out of the way, and if one or two of them crashed in the process, well, that's racin'.
