War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
One of the greatest guitar pickers ever, Dickey Betts, has died. He was 80. And not only notable in music: Beyond reality when one band would have two, TWO, most-gifted guitarists — Betts and Duane Allman. From today’s The New York Times obit: “Duane and I had an understanding, like an old soul kind of…
Bright sunshine and well-warmed-up temperatures this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another summer preview day, though, nice in its where-did-springtime-go kind of way. In scrolling just now, I came across a cut-to-the-bone analysis of the T-Rump; must share (great h/t Tengrain): Highlight example of O’Donnell’s flair for wordage (via Mediaite): ‘“That’s a…
A wish connection for this Thursday afternoon in light of the death of OJ Simpson and the orange-turd-of-an-asshole T-Rump: Of course, the LA Times story has been edited correctly, but not before (Newsweek): ‘“Long before the city woke up on a fall morning in 2017, Trump walked out of Lovelock Correctional Center outside Reno, a…
Crystal-clear, blue skies, and sharp, clean sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. And warm temps, too — highs in the mid-to-upper 70s with a cool, nice-feeling breeze. Of itself a gorgeous time. A day, however, most-likely an undercurrent preview for a hot, shitty summer to come. Yet right now enjoy while it’s…
Instead of a dirge let’s get simple and nostalgic this Sunday early evening with some wonderful, wondrous alternate rock from the year 1997, and a flashback to a nice, seemingly more-easier time. The 1990s were a blessing for rock music — maybe even better than my boomer rush of the British invasion in the 1960s.…
Although coasting down to the end of another clear-sky/bright sunshine Tuesday in California’s Central Valley, the actual living diagram for nowadays is mud-flat shitty mainly due to the incessant, endless chatter about one of the most horrible of people alive (or maybe even dead), the T-Rump — seeing that orange-turd-mask face and hearing that smacking,…
Big, fluffy clouds floating in bright, shiny sunshine this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — another gorgeous spring day, though, today is a holiday and, too, seemingly slow on the horror-news. End of another month, again, which gut-clutching displays how our current calendar/clock-time seems to be accelerating the shit past as a full…
Gray-overcast this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — some rain expected tonight and maybe tomorrow as not a bad scenario as it’s been beautiful around these parts the last few days. A most-delightful spring so far. However, that’s the weather synopsis– reality sucks for the vast most part. I haven’t once again blogged…
Clear skies and bright sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a preview for summer as temps kicked in at close to 80 degrees, though, a ‘cooling trend‘ is expected for tomorrow and Thursday. And proper, too, to celebrate the first day of Spring today — officially starts tonight at 11:06 PM…
Another start to another work week, and this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley finds us edging closer and closer to November and to an election beholding to none in recent memory. In response to his graphic speech at another lie-infested rally this past weekend — T-Rump described a “bloodbath” in the US if…
