Isn’t it fun and exciting to live in a world where absolutely nothing is believable?
Where every single news item is suspect?
Where every quote is doubted?
All of it rightfully so?
If skepticism isn’t your first reaction to literally everything you see on any media, your BS detector is broken.

The shame of what we let this administration do will stick to us.

Loved her from the first moment I heard her.
She’s the only artist I’ve taken the trouble to try to translate, because I knew from the music I should.
Her, I would go see if she ever plays here.

Around the same time this came out, one of my friend’s girlfriend bought back a bunch of music popular in Germany for our band to check out.
This was in it.
I think it starting to appear in English here a few months later.
No, we didn’t cover it.
Long ago and far away.

I have so much world music, I’m drummer, it’s a requirement😁
Sometimes I have to laugh because I’ll really like the song, and for all I know they could be singing things that I strongly disagree with, and I have no idea.
I did translate Rokia Traore, and found her lyrics powerful.Like her 🎶 a lot

Psh, you think they’ll be fair?

Nondescript Man @oldcrank.bsky.social · 8h

You sure it’s fear?
I mean, jazz musicians know music better than most.
Maybe it’s disdain?

Everyone in America cringed when he said that.

Nixon is a gimme.
Reagan spouted trickle down.
Every rational human on the planet heard that line and said “oh shit”
And yet, there he was, smiling while he said it. He knew, we knew, he knew we knew.
By the time Cheney and bush came, it was out and out piracy, all sheets raised, blatant.

The woman praises Trump, so there’s that

Nondescript Man @oldcrank.bsky.social · 1d

No
He really said that?
I mean… I believe it but…
Come on…
Really? He fucking said it, didn’t he

I’m not on the “no training necessary” band.
I think “highly enhanced and frequent training” is more the way it should go.
I watched my neighbor pour oil ON the engine block because “the light came on”
I don’t want him owning a gun.

Yet now, Nazism is the blueprint for trumpism.

Nondescript Man @oldcrank.bsky.social · 1d

I always have, and here I am, in my 60’s with Nazis in the streets.

Nondescript Man @oldcrank.bsky.social · 1d

absolutely correct.
But if it came to being put in their shiny new concentration camps?
What difference to lose in vanilla or chocolate? Both lose.

Nondescript Man @oldcrank.bsky.social · 1d

Mine as well.
It’s embarrassing to me that we, the freedom talking Americans, are doing little to stop an obvious fascist takeover.
The country is taking a black eye every day from this orange idiot regime

Nondescript Man @oldcrank.bsky.social · 1d

I loved and admired it too.
Was proud of it.
But now the whole world watches as we sit still as a fascist takes us over.
I don’t know if this black eye will ever fade.
And it kills me

Nondescript Man @oldcrank.bsky.social · 1d

Fact
I’ve always said Reagan was the beginning of blatant lies. Lies told and in real time everyone knew it was a lie.
And we sat.

Exactly why I, as an anti gun nut, have decided to arm up.
I’m vocal. They may knock at my door.
The 2nd was written for exactly this.

In lieu of a general strike, yeah, humor is helpful to a point.

By this time, the files and records are totally scrubbed and therefore worthless.
If the victims named names, however…

Yeah, wonder why that hasn’t happened either. Doesn’t make any sense at all. The victims could put a checkmate move out there, and there’s silence.
After they said they would.
