http://soundbreaking.com/ I stumbled across this program on CBS tonight. They spent some time on the Beatles and Beach Boys that was pretty interesting.

I have to look through what I actually purchased this year, but Sturgill Simpson is definitely on it. -

The Republicans are under no obligation to act as if they won a narrow win for the White House or that their senate and House totals are not veto proof. In the old days they would have worked across the aisle on joint legislation, but these are not the old days. They will attempt to rule as if they won 99% if the vote, they really have no choice. Their base, driven by their media, is a take no prisoners group. I hear them every day, I read what they say,anyone who meets the democrats in the middle is a traitor of sorts, a rino, and will be targeted for cooperation. It's not pretty, it's just t -
Bands you saw early on who became big?

I saw Billy Bob Thornton playing drums for Tres Hombres in the mid 80's -

This reminds me of a point in one of the debates (2 maybe) where trump called Obama "your president" when addressing HRC. HRC and possibly the moderator should have been all over that comment, but they let it slide. Anyhow my larger point is that republicans never accepted Obama as the president of the US. Democrats had issues with bush but they worked with him on many issues. By no means had trump won a mandate to do whatever he and congress want, though I think they will act as though they do, it's officially put up or shut up time..again. But the democrats have to accept him and work with h -

Were the polls that far off? Trump won the states he had to win, and I think many of them were within the margin of error. -

The red head up front look just like my daughter, but it's not her, just a doppelgänger. -

Right now it sounds like the emails were not from HRC or on her server and could be duplicates. So possibly much ado about nothing. But nothing or not, does that matter when it comes to tagging HRC with scandal? -

What took you so long! Classic albums you just discovered
John Smith replied to remphish1's topic in Someone Else's Song
I really only started listening to Dylan 10 or so years ago. -
Just went a previewed this, I like it and ordered it. To me the previews have a retro feel with elements of some 60's pop music there. Looking forward to hearing the full album.

Trump is angry with SNL, yet he is practically writing their skits. -
With Valens I personally think that had he not died or if he had not died with Buddy Holly he would have been a little remembered one hit wonder. I just don't see enough that makes me believe he would have had a sustainable career. Of course if Mr Rolling Stone liked Valens he would put him in the hall anyway. That's just pure speculation and pure opinion on my part.

Right now the republicans are trapped by their base. If they don't pull shit like this they catch hell from the base and conservative media and risk losing their next election. The rest of the country will view them as a-holes but only their base matters. If they confirm judges, pass budgets and do their jobs, they are rinos, liberals helping Hilary etc... they offend the base. So it works out best for them if they drive the car into the wall and blame the democrats for the crash. -
This album flows so effortlessly that when it finishes and repeats it is such a smooth transition that you don't realize it right away.

Behind the scenes vs in front of the cameras. Anyhow it was CNN reporting and they seem to f'up quite a bit. -

Ryan and some others are only showing backbone because the writing is on the wall and they can't deny it any longer. This is a cya move.
