This week, judges blocked the Trump administration from deploying Natβl Guard in Chicago β¦ blocked federal agents from assaulting peaceful protesters & journalists β¦ ordered ICE to take down the fence in Broadview β¦ And a grand jury refused to indict a ham sandwich >>>
After I heard about that WSJ article on Johnny Cash I had to go back and listen to his cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Johny 99"
and dear God, it's even better than I remember. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F04Y...
Speaking of Bruce and Johnny, Cash's cover of "Johnny 99" from Springsteen's Nebraska LP is amazing.
