As American quickly slides into a fascist dictatorship under Herr #Trump is anyone who dares speak out safe anymore? As Joe Strummer sang:
"You have the right to free speech
As long as you're not
Dumb enough to actually try it..."

Hey TIFF attendees. If you want to be cool, don't show up festival approved bars. Go to some actually cool places. The Cameron House (Prince hung out there), Reposado on Ossington, Rooms @ 915 Dupont (evenings), or Bar Sous Sol at Maison Selby on Sherbuorne. (Ernest Hemingway stayed there!)
LIVE MUSIC IN TORONTO| Cameron House
The Cameron House is an intimate, bohemian bar with ceiling murals & nightly performances from local roots acts on 2 stages.

For speaking the truth Matthew Dowd was fired from MSNBC. "Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions,” Dowd said, adding: “You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and then not expect awful actions to take place.”

THE most accurate Charlie Kirk related post I've read so far.
He died doing what he loved, fomenting violence.

The fact that all 5 hockey players/gang rapists were found not guilty, sadly continues the judicial pattern against sexually assaulted women. I don't generally like making sweeping generalizations, but this is how this verdict is making me feel. "All men, all men are liars, and that's the truth" 😢

Let's dance to the destruction of democracy in the USA. "This is the world destruction,
your life ain′t nothing
The human race is becoming a disgrace
...Putting people in racist categories
Knowledge isn't what it used to be
Military tactics to control a nation
Who wants to be a president or king?"

Media censorship just keeps increasing under Trump. ABC News has suspended Terry Moran for telling the truth. Time to boycott ABC.

RIP David Thomas of Pere Ubu. I saw them play on the street. I saw them play in a club. I'm just so glad I got to see them play. A big loss to the music world. 😥
David Thomas, anarchic Pere Ubu bandleader, dies aged 71
The US musician was a major influence on post-punk and alt-rock scenes thanks to his spirited, chaotic style

Every Canadian Election I approach all the different party leaders and see if they will do an interview / Hip Flip. Here's a clip of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Check out the *FULL* interview at youtu.be/TZmh_PNMImE Doot doo !

In these Trumpian times I wish I could just laugh it off, but sometimes you need some uplifting music to break through the noise. NYC's The Fleshtones doing a cover of The Tams "Laugh It Off" helps me imagine a much better reality. Hope the sociopath and his minions are history soon.

‪The USA is on track to a fascist dictatorship & the majority keep discussing it but do NOTHING. #Trump
"All the power's in the hands
Of the people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it
& everybody's doin'
Just what they're told to
& nobody wants
To go to jail…"

Angry at the insanity currently going on in the USA? Worried about how it's going to affect you? Depressed? Scared? Fuming? All of the above? Time for some angry 60s garage punk to make you feel better. "Get Out Of My Life"! It makes me feel better. 🙂

It is getting scarier and scarier by the day. The neighbours down south are in the midst of political upheaval and their media is not covering it for what it is. The start of a dictatorship and the dismantling of a democracy. Wake up and fight.

As a proud Canadian, I am celebrating the 60th Anniversary of our Canadian Flag on National Flag Day. Loving our country and all it provides us with is more important than ever.

Finally someone speaks the truth that others are too scared to. “I’m just saying that in order to respect international law, you don’t threaten your neighbours by invasion.”!
Trump’s invasion threats violate international law: Canadian ambassador
In January, Trump threatened to use "economic force" to annex Canada.

I got this art deco era looking salt & pepper set years ago when my parents were cleaning out my Dad's aunt's house for sale. Are they very ugly dogs that look kind of like hippos? Who knows? I've never seen anything like them before or since. #vintage #artdeco #saltandpeppershakers

He co-created one of my favourite TV shows of all-time, "Twin Peaks" and created some of my film faves including, "Blue Velvet" and "Lost Highway". He even wrote the lyrics for the haunting ditty in "Eraserhead", 'In heaven, everything is fine...' It's a loss of a creative genius. RIP David Lynch.
