‘It Was (56) Years Ago Today’
Time flies when you’re having fun — this evening 56 years ago a major social event which set the cultural standard-pace even until to this very day, media/music/me: The Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan TV variety show, Sunday night, Feb. 9, 1964. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, too, I was out of the country at…
Nasty-Faced Sonofabitch — ‘Anything to Demean!’
In sideways, an ugly, nasty-looking sonofabitch on the war path of cruel chaos — a face snapped by photographer Bill Moon of a moon-faced monster: And you would know, the T-Rump can’t let anything go: Here this Saturday, a lot of news stories, op/eds and blog posts on the worrisome, tragic week of the T-Rump’s…
Lip Reading and the ‘Right Thing’
This comes dint of a post from a year ago, and was found originally here — horrifying in its perspective now more than three years later: And from that post: Some old near-forgotten lore, though still funny, now after time, we realize the situation is worse than we figured back then, and real, real ugly.…
Peter Jackson Rejuvenation — ‘Let It Be’
In some nifty news beyond the DC beltway — Peter Jackson’s documentary of the Beatles recording and musical hijinks creating “Let It Be,” and even roughing-out songs for “Abby Road,” is getting ready for release. According to an announcement right-about this time a year ago, Jackson, late of “Lord of the Rings” fame among a…
Bat-Shit Crazy Bookmobile — ‘Literature’ and the T-Rump
Here it is the third day in the defense of the T-Rump in his Senate impeachment trial and the proceedings are batshit-crazy, mainly because it’s obvious the orange turd is guilty, but now there’s John Bolton’s book manuscript — “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” a copy of which was leaked over…
Health News — Medical Marijuana to Coronaviruses to Black Hawk Down
Earlier in the dawn-like hours, original point of this post was to be a non-newsy update on medical marijuana based on an op/ed on the subject I only spied this morning, which was already more than a year old. In the past, I’d watch and note advances made in not only the ever-growing legalization movement,…
Jim Lehrer R.I.P.
(Illustration, Jim Lehrer, found here). The awesome PBS journalist Jim Lehrer died today, age 85. He was the real voice of top-notch integrity of the Fourth Estate, an entire generation’s worth of reporting in the white-light of truth and reality. I started my journalism career in the mid-1970s, about the same time Lehrer teamed-up with…
Day One in the Trial of an Impeached Motherfucker
Here we go, the opening round of the T-Rump’s Kangaroo Court — oops, sorry, Senate trial on impeachment — and the shit has already hit the fan. Closed tighter than a clam, the Senate is listening to itself this afternoon as the world isn’t watching (h/t Susie): Just in the nick, there’s been a decent…
Little ‘Big’ Women vs ‘Too Fragile’ Men
Among a mass of shitty news this Monday, the Academy Awards nominations were announced and “Little Women” director, Greta Gerwig, was snubbed, although the movie nailed six other spots, including Best Picture — no female directors nominated at all, just bullshit. I saw it Christmas Day with two of my daughters and really, really loved…
