USA: THE WORST OF EVERYTHING!

The main reason so many EU countries have strong economies and a better quality of life than the USA is due to the compatibility between labor unions and corporate management. In America we have an adversarial relationship between the corporate State and blue collar workers – and what’s left of the unions. CEOs can make […]

Coachella 2019

Coachella 2019 looks pretty crappy to me. Okay, I’m an old fogey, but I scanned through the line-up and all of the online pics from weekend one and there was only one picture of a musician actually playing an instrument. Do any pop acts actually play instruments anymore? And what’s with the K-Pop shit? So […]

Evangelicals

Evangelicals love tRump because they think he’ll usher in the Apocalypse. That’s why they’re so willing to overlook his habitually immoral and sinful behavior and the fact that he’s obviously just paying lip service to Christianity – or Judaism, for that matter. The anti-LGBT and anti-women stuff is just icing on the cake; and tRump […]

brave New Zealand

Following the mass shootings at two Christchurch mosques that killed 50 people, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that all military-style semi-automatic weapons, assault rifles and high-capacity magazines will now be banned in that country. “On 15 March our history changed forever. Now our laws will too,” Ardern said at a press conference in […]

It premiered on Channel 4 in July 2016 and it’s hosted by this randy lady called Anna Richardson. The show incorporates close-ups of genitalia and other body features and tattoos with frank discussions […]

Vinyl memories

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, […]

Political correctness

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 […]

remake, remodel

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 […]
