Annnnnndddd... I sent my son to Trump University, and I bought some Trump Frozen Steaks for my brother in law, and we got ripped on Trump Vodka, and I lost my shirt at Trump Casino...

Zelensky also pointed out that he stayed in Trump Tower. as in "oh, yeah, and also I lined your pockets, so..."

Romney's smartly making a play of being the single GOPer who's above the fray here

It's worth doing the impeachment if only to get the votes for or against impeachment on record, so that 3 years from now Republicans can't distance themselves from Trump, because we'll have receipts. And trust me, when this Trump era is over, you'll have plenty of people disavowing their support of Trump, just like you have politicians rearranging their opinion on the Iraq invasion.

Bun E Carlos looks like the manager at a bar where they refer to the bartenders as "mixologists" I would accept Nerd, Freak, or Hipster as correct answers for Nielsen and also for Carlos.

Mustache? skinny ties? smokes? Hipster for sure.

Same. It's what, the 43rd anniversary of the show? The 41st anniversary of the movie? Why now?

New Halloween 1973 box set announced today: https://www.zappa.com/news/frank-zappas-halloween-shows-recorded-live-1973-auditorium-theater-chicago-be-released-first

Today I learned that Neil Finn and Mike Campbell are currently members of Fleetwood Mac (and have been so since April 2018) - after Buckingham was fired again.

For a band that registers a negative number on the cultural richter scale, The Osmonds had their own TV show! - which then launched the Donny and Marie show. Short lived, but those two shows were popular in their day. I (rather, my older sisters) had at least one of their albums (Crazy Horses) when I was a kid. The Bay City Rollers were another one of those highly marketed and "successful" bands in the 70s. No lasting legacy to speak of, but they hit hard on the marketing to grab a piece of that pie.

Though I didn't own a single album by either band (at the time), in junior high I was preoccupied with drawing Van Halen's "VH" logo, and the Dead Kennedy's "DK" logo.

Remember when CCR's Chronicle Vols.1 and 2 were marketed with a TV commercial?

John Pasche designed it, not Andy Warhol.

Always liked this:

I was thinkin' 'bout Alicia Keys, couldn't keep from crying When she was born in Hell's Kitchen, I was living down the line I'm wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could be I been looking for her even clear through Tennessee

I've never subscribed to the notion that those were roasts. Slow Turning by John Hiatt: "Now I'm in my car, I've got the radio down, and I'm yelling at my kids, because they're banging like Charlie Watts!"

I say the same for weightlifting after having a toke or two. Getting high + QOTSA Songs for the Deaf + powerlifting = 420swolebro!

I don't know if Garcia was off his gourd or what, but if I was at that show, I would have walked out during the ending of Wharf rat and never looked back. That was a train wreck. If this was the best show they could muster for Dave's picks, then they're definitely scraping for resins, or holding back on Betty shows just to prolong the usefulness of this subscription.

I received the latest Dave's (#31) last night: 12/3/79 - Uptown Theater, Chicago. Listened to the first set on my commute this morning.... Meh. Althea was good. Restrained... Hoping for a livelier 2nd set.

Holy shit! https://gizmodo.com/trump-appears-in-front-of-photoshopped-presidential-sea-1836687973?

I'll be dipping my toes in Canadian waters in early August from the northern reaches of Minnesota. Saw a T-shirt on Reddit that said: Racism is so American that when you protest it, people think you're protesting America. “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

Huh? I don't go to Fox News, but certainly every major media outlet has been calling him racist the past few days.

JRAD was fun last night. Received Wilco goodness twice. Once with a cover of Hoodoo Voodoo, and twice when Glen Kottke joined the band for Other One drumming splendor. It was a fine show. I think I’m finding it harder to get to the point of musical ecstasy I long for. I think I was there during the drum duo of Other One.

I'm going to be "whammed" with a pocketfull of special mints that my wife brought me from California.
