Weirdly, I never read Animal Farm.

1984, on the other hand, I did. And that one might be even more relevant here in America 2025.

I had the great pleasure of watching Herbie Hancock and this incredible band play the Hard Rock Rockford tonight. I heard some sounds I've never heard before and Mr. Hancock played like a man 50 years his junior. It was a concert I'll never forget.

The only way the destruction of the East Wing as a visual metaphor for the state of our country could be even more apt is if it looked like someone was pissing on the rubble.

And here it is:

One of the demolition workers is spraying water up onto the rubble in a way that looks like he’s peeing

Minute one: we bulldoze the old man’s stupid ballroom.”

I remember Paul McCartney being very dismissive about Fabian saying that he was not a singer the Beatles respected. Now, hearing him for the first time, I have to agree, he wasn't a good singer.

Finishing the evening listening to the only album released by this One-Midwestern-Hit Wonder. Lead song's pretty good, the rest of the album's kind of average, but overall, not bad.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
