War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Ilustration: Stages of total lunar eclipse in Universal Time (GMT), and found here). A lunar eclipse tomorrow morning to break the horror of political life down here on the flatlands of the mountains we have to cross every f*cking day. If you get up early — pre-dawn — here in California, you’ll be able to…
Good Sunday morning! Another break from the tedious horror of the nowadays with another Sunday Serenade (last one here), with a quick glance into a sporting event for mostly non-Americans in an international forum of auto racing — Grand Prix. Especially the focus on today’s running of the Monaco GP in Monte Carlo, won this…
In a break from below-ground chaos from Republicans, rattling cages in all direction, a quick look this Wednesday afternoon at the advancing news-cycle item of unidentified flying objects, which seems to have gained reputable status lately. Although ‘UFOs’ have been part of American folklore for decades, from science-fiction movies/novels and what-not, it’s begining to look…
(Jen Psaki press gaggle onboard Air Force One late last month; Olivier Douliery/AFP/Getty Images, and found here). Journalism in the nowadays appears a whiplash occupation, especially coming off the terrible T-Rump news-coverage days, and apparently now the media is working toward getting a handle on Joe Biden’s low-key approach, while at the same time seeking…
Another chapter in the ‘Destination‘ series (last one here), and a look backwards to reflect in some small way what we’re experiencing today. Our current era is more-weirder than yesterday’s, though, sadly there’s still the same history clinging on for dear life. And the musical light in the dark is once again The Running Mates,…
In the midst of COVID, low economic numbers, the Liz Cheney/Elise Stefanik shit-storm, Joe Biden wearing a mask longer than necessary, and an assortment of other news items cycling through the system this morning — even from last night of the Alabama legislature startlingly okaying medical marijuana (being originally from there, I did not see…
Here it is Sunday way-again — we’re now in the fifth month of 2021 and the days have churned past quicker than those cinematic calendar pages rapidly flipping, illustrating the way-fast passage of time. Result of that film scene would be at the end of the sequence some weird shit usually happens. December 2020 seems…
As I noted in my post this morning, Joe Biden’s speech to Congress last night was a rousing success on many levels and the polling in the aftermath shows the hard results — Americans who watched Joe perform, loved it. Hence, Republicans are having a hard tine grappling with it, as it has become way-obvious…
As I posted last week, the 1990s were the best era of rock music, with the so-called ‘alternative rock’ really gaining a hold on the musical airwaves. And as I also wrote, despite the Elvis/Paul Anka era, then high school in the 1960s with the British invasion (the Beatles, Stones, The Who, the Kinks, the…
In the wake of the George Floyd verdict, one of my all-time favorite songs, which comes from one of the most-neatest period of musical memories, the 1990s. Although I grew of age in the English invasion of the late 1960s, and the emergence of the American rock sound of the 1970s, the 90s carried the…
