Although it’s virtually a relic of the past, I have always considered the album – or LP, for “long-player” – as they used to be called – as a collection of songs with an overarching theme and a certain stylistic unity. In the case of an artist with a long recording career like Bob Dylan, […]
The Trump clan is destroying American culture. What passes for culture in America is already a whitewashed, dumbed-down Leave It To Beaver version of reality. Our true, vibrant multi-cultural history of art, literature and music is all but ignored in the mainstream media (MSM). The problem has always been that some of our country’s most […]
Hollywood lost any shred of credibility a long, long time ago. “The Biz” is all about selling as many tickets as possible; so they make films which they think will sell the most tickets. It has nothing to do with ‘art’ or talent. So we get lots and lots of super heroes, cops and lame […]
Last week, “president” tRumps’ propaganda mouthpiece Sarah Huckleberry Hound Sanders made an astounding claim, even for her: “I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times and I think that he wanted Donald Trump to become president, and that’s why he’s there,” She told Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody, according […]
This newly released FOIA phone transcript between tRump and his Russian handler Semion Mogilevich sheds some new light on the subject: (BEGIN TRANSCRIPT) Mogilevich: Good day, comrade Trump! Trump: Hi, Semmie. How are you? Mogilevich: Doing well, comrade. Once again I congratulate you on your efforts to undermine so called democracy in free world… Trump: […]
For years, people considered me out of touch and old fashioned for refusing to have anything to do with Facebook or smartphones or this whole “social media” thing. Only now are people beginning to realize how pernicious and Orwellian these platforms are. The whole concept of “social media” – especially Facebook – is anathema to […]
Him: …There, that wasn’t so bad, now, was it? You: Well, no…yeah, that was pretty awful! What the hell just happened? Him: At least it was quick. You’re one of the lucky ones… You: Ugh…I guess so…where am I? What do you mean, ‘lucky?’ Him: This is what some people call Heaven. You: Oh my […]
Last week, tRumps Immigration hard-liner Stephen ‘Demon’ Miller appeared on Face the Nation spewing the usual drivel about immigrants. Miller was sporting a new look: Flex Seal™ hair. It looked like someone had just haphazardly sprayed the top of his head black in a piss-poor effort to hide his male pattern baldness. Maybe he was […]
Throughout their career, and right up until the release of The Beatles [aka ‘The White Album’] the Fab Four had been a finely-honed machine designed to produce musical perfection. Their reputation was built upon an endless wave of beautifully crafted pop confections, exquisitely performed; perfectly articulated masterpieces. The White Album was the first and only […]
Too bad we can only look back fondly to a time when there was such a thing as an ‘anti-war’ protest movement. Those days are long gone, and may never return thanks to recent attempts by the GOP to pass laws effectively making protest illegal.
