If the South Park guys wrote this and Mike Judge directed, it would be too over the top.

The douchiest dumbest dicks in high school have brought us here. Pete Hegseth, for fucksake.

Happy to hear it!

Bill Janovitz | Substack New York Times Bestselling author of four books and a founding member of the band Buffalo Tom.

Trying to keep the writing muscle exercised, I am posting to Substack. I have pieces on Springsteen, the Pixies, Keith Jarrett, and a couple of Buffalo Tom-related articles. No paywall, for those interested. Sorry for this big photo of my face. substack.com/@billjanovit...

Don’t just take my word for it. Maybe Jeff can effectively make the case.

It's all "Johnson" in one form or another.

Thanks for sharing.

Bravehearted, by Bill Janovitz track by Bill Janovitz

Another billjanovitz.bandcamp.com/track/braveh...

I really didn’t think I’d be writing political songs in my 60th year on this earth. But there you go.

I hope you find listening as rewarding as I have felt creating it. I have needed a creative outlet as a valve to let off some steam. Link in bio. Streaming services to come in a week.

This one is more straightforward, and I assume will appeal to people who are fans of Buffalo Tom. But the lyrics are almost all fairly immediate responses to what many of us have felt during this time period (except for “Romeo,” ha).

New music. Commiserating is the third EP in about a month and a half. This will probably be the last stuff I release for a while, though who knows when inspiration will strike.

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

Whatever Putin has on, or has invested in Trump, he could not have foreseen just how much it would pay off.

Clearly a domestic terrorist. Taking down the mastermind.

New song at Bandcamp, not yet on streaming. I was working on this the week before Renee Good was murdered. I changed the lyrics in the first two verses. Link in bio. Proceeds will be donated to the ACLU. I took the photo at a peaceful weekly protest that takes place outside an ICE facility here.

“Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy” is solid advice. Happy New Year to you. It’s all gonna get better (it [surely] can’t get no worse).

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.

Know the truth.

God give it a rest ye merry gentlemen

While we all await the release of the Trump-Epstein Files, here is the release of a new 5-Song EP, a sibling to one I released a couple of weeks back. billjanovitz.bandcamp.com/album/way-ba...

Thanks!

One of my faves.
