I have to begin with this song of unrequited love. I think this is Linda's best song and one of the best songs ever. The emotion is heartbreaking.

ICE rammed her husband's car—causing near fatal crash into telephone pole.
He's still in the hospital emergency room after "His eye is broken, his back is broken, his knee is broken."
"I have no idea why ICE is after him," says wife—he has valid visa, work permit, asylum case & no criminal record.

Even though the Raul Malo news wasn't a surprise, it was still a tough one. He was only 60 and seemed he would have more music to give us. Some musician deaths hit me harder than others. A great voice has been silenced except through our stereo systems.

And, as an added bonus, @statenavigate.org is now projecting Dems with 62 seats (out of 100) in the VA House of Delegates (even more amazing when you consider that Dems had only 34 seats heading in to the 2017 elections). Wow, what a night! bluevirginia.us/2025/11/live...

Finally made it thru the letter "D" as I continue to listen to all my CD's. It took a long time to get through all the Bob Dylan studio albums (minus the recent songbook albums) plus various bootlegs and other CD's. It was fun though to overdose on Dylan for several weeks.

Besides the obvious racism, what characterizes these right-wingers is their 100% un-American no-can-do spirit. America can't do anything - can't do immigration, can't do healthcare, can't build clean energy, can't electrify cars... It's total loser culture. Eisenhower would be embarrassed.
