John Smith

That was terrible what those people did to that young man and they will go to prison for a long time. But nice use of misdirection. I'm anxiously awaiting your rant about John Howard and his sentencing. But I digress, my main concern is what does that crime in Chicago have to do with Meryl Streep and what she had to say? Is she only allowed to speak out abou pre-approved topics? Or does she have to mention those kids and condemn BLM, who had nothing to do with that crime, before she is allowed to speak out on other issues? It's just more faux outrage, she has every right to speak out as mu

They quietly figured out a work around on the ethics thing. Last week they passed a rule that allows members of congress to keep their records hidden from ethics investigations. This just makes me think that they are hiding major shit that people were sniffing around and/or they intend to do what grey want when they want with impunity. Looks like government is for sale.

And his team fired the top people in charge of our nuke arsenal with no names yet named to replace them and the positions require senate confirmation. Hmm. I think all this is as much the Republicsn leadership attempting to erase the Obama presidency and using Trump as cover, as it is Trumps recklessness.

Per DT tweet today Streep is an overrated actresss...and he has denied ever mocking that disabled reporter. Apparently he is unaware of the video of him Mocking the guy. What an asshole.

Apparently King Crimson will be touring this year. This might be a good one to catch, http://liveforlivemusic.com/news/king-crimson-will-tour-2017-double-quartet-formation/

I think impeachment could happen, but the Republicans will have to do it. Impeach him and elevate pence before the stench of the trump admin fully infects him. Also regarding the hacking, even if there was zero effect on the outcome of the election (there was though) but pretend no effect republicans, democrats, independents everybody should be outraged that a foreign government was attempting to interfere in our national elections. Instead we have way too many people making excuses and talking about sore losers. WTF is wrong with our country?

You start building a small portion of the wall, hype the hell out of it, then slowly stop talking about it and illegal Immigrants, then the faithful will think problem solved. Create the illusion that all is well and all will be well in the minds of the faithful, nothing really has to be done. It's how propaganda works. They will probably have to deport a bunch of people too. Gather them up and when a few thousand have been accumulated generate images that give the appearance of mass deportations.

This is what I am thinking. We can count on them to do the right thing after they get caught.

The change they want was for Trump and the GOP to drain the natural swamp thus destroying the fragile eco system and replace it with a toxic land fill.

Nice move on ethics congress. Who would have guessed that the main ethical issue in congress was people being investigated for unethical behavior, not the actual unethical behavior. Drain the swamp indeed.

I know people love Wilco here, but I just am not hearing what makes Schmilco a top ten album. It is pleasant to listen to, but just not a memorable album to my ears.

add late comers to the list like Carrie Fischer and Debbie Reynolds. And just yesterday Doug Evans bassist for the Didjits passed away.

i don't know that answer. I would think that they have a slate of "experts" voting and the nominees who hit a certain level of votes get in..unless Jann Wenner vetoes. I have s bunch of artists I think should be in starting with ax, the Replacements, Husker Du/Sugar/bob Mould , Warren Zevin etc... but they never ask my opinion. The process and selection is baffling, but the museum Is pretty cool.

Isn't this what we all do? We have our own Personal RnR hall of fames in our heads?

I heard Los Lobos do Berths before I heard the dead go it. Creedence doing Midnight Soecialmbefore Leadbelly

DBT - the day john Henry died...has that been listed yet?

7 questions, 6 reporters. He would have passed on all 7 then tweeted about how unfair NPR is and Joe sad it is that no one listens to them anymore.

Southern Pacific by Neil Young Crazy Train When my Train Pulls in - Gary Clark Lonesome Train - Johnny Burnette A Train Still Makes a Lonely Sound - Black Crowes Train to Nowhere - JJ Cale Train Round the Bend - True Believers Train in Vain is a train song?

2016 is just not getting any better. :-( The one song of Live's that I have any thoughts about is the one about the old woman dying the same time the baby is born. Mainly because my wife was born the same day that my grandmother passed away. Same year, same city, different hospital though. Other than that...meh. I think it's called Lightning Strikes.

Today at the Heritsge Foundation Newt said that the goal of the Trump administration will be to roll back the FDR Government. So they want us back in the 20's...except of course for the military.

I honestly don't think Trumps thought process went beyond...he does not offend me, Texas has oil, oil is energy...therefore he would make a great head of the department of energy. I honestly don't think he has any idea or really cares what the DOE actually does. The cynic in me thinks that Trump and the Republicans are installing/going to install all of these eminently unqualified people for the purpose of dismantling as much of the government as they can. Remove regulations. Run each area in a manner that proved government does not work etc... get that government in her bathtub and drown

Of course you want someone who is smarter and more experienced than you. This guy just lived through eight years of hell and the worst period in American history (his words) and was tired of the know it all in the White House acting like an emperor. I guess I was too subtle in what I wrote. The point being that he's getting nothing from his essential Presidential punch list, in fact he's getting the opposite of everything he demanded except fir that all important party affiliation.

Long before the election I had a conversation with a friend who believes himself to be a serious conservative claiming not to be into any of the conspiracy theories etc... (his FB page and the words that flow out of his mouth betray him though). Anyhow the crux of the conversation was what he wanted in a president. His main concerns were that the president be committed to reducing the deficit and the debt. His next item was that the president be committed to the constitution as it is written, including making congress stay out of the affairs of business (guess he missed class the day they disc

I heard Loudon Wainwright III and Jeff Buckley do Hallelujah before Leonard Cohen.
