I watch commercial TV off an antenna, 62 stations that come in fairly good.
I know...junk programing, much of it out of the last century. Reruns of old 60s-70s sitcoms that are essentially reruns from the Honeymooners and Life of Riley era. You know, when AM radio and green stamps were king.

Arrogance and Ignorance
Today's title is a description of US/Western leadership courtesy of Col Larry Wilkerson in his 40 min conversation with Dima. Larry was also on with the Judge this week discussing Blinky at Davos. I've been describing US diplomacy as just threats and sanctions. It isn't just the US. Did you catch any of the WEF arrogance and ignorance on display this week?
Another misattributed quote. Evidently any quote that sounds wise must have been from Albert?
Album of the Week 1-20-24
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 01/20/2024 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
Well, here comes another bunch of great tunes. Starting off we've got Koko Taylor's first album for the Chess label produced by Willie Dixon, following that there's a 70's album from Texan Phillip Walker. There's a bunch of great blues-rock this week with albums from The Blues Magoos, The J. Geils Band, Roy Buchanan and Brownsville Station. In the diversity department, there's a Taj Mahal album which incorporates some of his Hawaiian and calypso leanings followed by a Jim Kweskin album in an early jazz vein and we finish off with an excellent album by Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucia.
Have a great weekend and enjoy!

The winter weather has been a little intense with snow, subzero weather and freezing rain. Doing fine, have limited time to spend at C99.
