Radio, music, progressive, irony, a believer in basilisks, grumpkins and snarks. Just look at our politics for proof.

I had the almost identical conversation with a friend of mine. We watch the show every Sunday and compare notes from afar.

All that you said. It’s also lacking heart and likability.

90 years ago it started with the gov’t rounding up foreigners, people of color, Jews, Poles, and others who were β€œimpure”. Then they convinced neighbors to spy.
We wondered how people could have let this happen.

ALL OF US now know how it happened… the scariest part of all!

Radio Cures January 20th, 2025 MLK Day Today was a busy day on Radio Cures. We spent the first half hour or so honoring Dr. King and Martin Luther King Day in song. We also bid a fond farewell to a couple of musicians who recently left us...

Today’s edition of Radio Cures opened with a half hour music tribute to MLK. Consider it β€œalternative programming”. Here’s a link to listen

A snippet of a solo from my favorite live band Donna The Buffalo. Good for the soul...

Oh lighten up. The first newspapers had funnies, crosswords have been part of newspapers for eons. False outrage.

Mayo seems completely in over his head. Frankly, I’m surprised.

He would not have withdrawn if something hadn't been worked out. He'll end up in a yet-to-be-determined appointed high level position. Inevitable. No checks and balances. Evidently a good thing, based on the majority of voters.

Somehow fitting. The new trend is to ignore character, values and decency. No longer a consideration for anything, evidently. We are indeed in the midst of the decline...

On Dec 5th, a 19 album retrospective on Laura Nyro will be released. It’s called β€œHear My Song:The Collection 1966-1995” and it is amazing, with a number of hidden gems

A local festival with a community vibe is just what the sanity doctor ordered.

Looking forward to this. Solid start with their initial lineup announcement.
