I get it. I also want the world to be better for everyone. But I'm a libertarian. I think the same ends are better achieved through decentralized power. If we can focus on the power grab of this administration, we're on the same side. And right now, we should be on the same side.

There were three speeches about the oppression of the working class and the redistribution of wealth. Maybe extreme has the wrong connotation, but certainly not mainstream. Different vibe than the McKinney, Oak Cliff, Fort Worth and Dalhart protests I attended this year.

The sheer number of protests were a problem too I think. I drove past McKinney and Plano protests to get to the Dallas one, but next time I'll take the shorter drive to hang out in McKinney.

The Dallas one was co-opted by more extreme socialist groups too at the expense of the 3.5% goal

No one, including Shawn Phillips, understands Shawn Phillips. The cover art, for example, is not intended to be hilarious? The tracks align to no discernable genre. But Shawn Phillips is not to be understood, but to be loved. And love me some Shawn Phillips I do. #nowspinning #shawnphillips

I have but one regret, not staying up last night to watch the 3rd period of the Stars Avs game. Go Stars. Here's some tunes. #nowspinning #emersonlakeandpalmer

We saw Disturbed cover this song with a local kid playing cello. Thus launched a multi-year debate on who did it best. Although I very much prefer Disturbed's version it is still a cover. Paul Simon actually wrote the song. #nowspinning #simonandgarfunkel

That I did not know. I'll have to do some comparison listening tonight

Is it even a record collection if it doesn't have an old scratchy pressing of Aqualung? Like, do you even spin bro? #nowspinning #jethrotull

Though they technically only have 6 core members now, Pleasure had 9 on this album. Further proof 100% of bands with 9 members are fantastic. #nowspinning #pleasure

Do yourself a favor and pick up Earl King's Street Parade. Every track is a banger. Your cat will like it too apparently. #earlking #themeters #nowspinning #georgeporterjr

We had a rottweiler mix named Abita and I used to sing her this song all the time with her name in place of Yoshimi. Unrelated note, Abita did not respect doors and destroyed more than a dozen across three states. #nowspinning #flaminglips #abita

I wish I had the chance. His Blackbird is phenomenal

Someone probably told Bobby McFerrin he couldn't do a live show by himself with no band. He showed them, recorded himself showing them, and sold the recording. #nowspinning #bobbymcferrin
