How true those words are, Mike!

Palestrina! Monteverdi! Went there on on a bus tour. Couldn’t do the chips.

The material he recorded as a Beach Person is anything but tedious, but it’s scattered over several albums, so it’s difficult to appreciate. POB tedious crud? I don’t play it much these days, but it was pretty […]

Great thread, guys! That’s a wrap! FADE TO BLACK. FX: FOOTSTEPS INTO DISTANCE

He’s no Randy Rainbow, but this is pretty clever:

I have his number 7 (Ultimate Spinach), and 33 (Crabby Appleton), but draw a blank on the rest. Great list.

In a very real sense yes, Gary! Would that I had your skills! But not sure about the “music of the future” bit. I’d have to wait until that became music of the present, and as I don’t like much of that, possibly […]

Trump checking Hilary’s ass was a bellwether moment. Truly despicable. And, of course, much cheered by the same fucking idiots cheering him on this time. You can’t reason with a fucking idiot. Today’s debate was […]

The curly perm. The one-two punch of chest hair and denim shirt. The tidybeard. The Indian Reservation craft shop belt. Remember him this way.

Yes, Sal – where are they?

He craves power, and praise, and adoration, and respect. He’s a psychoanalytical hot mess, so all this is tied in with daddy (and daughter) issues. Money has always been there for him (even when broke – especially […]

The New Normal. This is what people want. Some people, enough people. They don’t want to see a debate, they don’t want to hear about policies, they want to see blood. They want a cagefight. They saw Joe Biden […]

I can’t watch any more. Biden’s a good man, but the Dems don’t need good, they need tough.

I can almost hear the Trumpers roaring.

Do you need a knee rug?

I “lived” in Switzerland for five years. I’ve done my time.
