in that vein, i found this video pretty interesting and informative:

Now, the sad thing is, I read it on America’s 250th birthday and after the last 3 or 4 years of just following the news, my reaction was mostly, “Duh, Captain Obvious, does a bear sh*t in the woods? Water is wet, grass is green — tell me something I don’t already know. So what are we, or anybody, going to do about it?”

Take the field of political comic-strips. Well, there’s a few courageous commentators crying out in the wilderness, like Ted Rall:

But then there are the much ballyhooed, celebrated but ultimately cowardly, cartoonists of almost-rock-star, “cover of the Rolling Stone” level fame who seem to have “taken the ticket” and made their deal with the devil — like Garry Trudeau of Doonesbury or Dan Perkins of This Modern World who, week in, week out, are always attacking Trump-Trump-Trump but have been absolutely mum and AWOL on Benjamin Netanyahu and the Congress that gives him standing ovations — along with billions of our money — and wars — and the keys to our military and all our spy agencies.

Book review: “Robin Andersen’s indispensable new book, The Complicit Lens, offers a comprehensive examination of the media’s role in supporting the Israeli genocide in Gaza.”

good to see you! glad you enjoyed the tunes. i've posted some curved air albums before, but the live album has a really different sound from the studio albums, much more raw and visceral than the studio performances. they're all still up at my barking cucumber youtube page.

have a good one!

for the early Albert and B.B. King, and Muddy Waters albums. They always please. I also enjoyed the shift to Little Feat’s rarities. Curved Air was a curveball I missed ; ).
