I’d rather be talking about music, but because the vile MAGA fascists are taking power, I’m here to talk about that too. If you’re trying to sell me something - crypto, exotic mushroom concoctions, whatever - don’t bother.

That’s a great description! I’m a big fan of those bands too, as well as Jacobites.

I go back and forth on my favorite solo Lou album. Sometimes it’s The Blue Mask, for instance.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

In a Chicago suburb, ICE GOONS brutally attacked a 15-year-old girl. They forcibly removed her from her car, slammed her to the ground, and then placed their knee on her neck.

It’s great. I appreciate Buckingham’s wild, experimental approach, that the band didn’t just try to make another Rumours, though my favorite track is Sara.
