You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.

The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

Was that Garcia’s original Wolf guitar or a replica?

Prices are sometimes going down based on the queue so it can work in your favor if the demand is lighter than they expect. For Bruno Mars, my best advice would be that if you don't get the tickets you want at the price you want, wait it out. For a stadium gig, there will always be tickets available.

The starting point is what I’m referring to. They have an idea based on past sales but they will sometimes set the face value right before while the queue is lining up

A lot of times the price is being set while the promoters are looking at the demand by the size of the queue

Five years later, these 10 corporations still aren’t funding election deniers Five years ago today, on January 6, 2021, a violent mob stormed the Capitol building.

1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years

But we've identified 10 promise keepers:

I can’t even imagine what he would have to say about the world today. But I know it would be funny, truthful and painful all at the same time.

The great McCoy Tyner, born today in 1938.

“I play what I live,” he said. “My music is a reflection of the life I’ve lived so far, and of the people I’ve been blessed to be around. Everything that happens to you, everything you see, it all goes into the music somehow.”

“Impressions” #RIP 🙏🏼

Need to get Byrd in Hand out as a Classic Vinyl Edition. I think Joe already did this for Music Matters so I'm guessing it won't be a Tone Poet release but hoping one way or another it gets repressed. Been waiting a while. :)

The Warner Bros. Beacon Theatre was opened on December 24, 1929. The 2,657 cap theater was a movie palace only until 1966 when they started having live entertainment. It was turned into a rock venue in 1974. Here's the original vertical sign & marquee. #marqueespotting

Also it’s a shame that his album Rebirth isn’t available on streaming services. It was produced by Tim Armstrong from Rancid and was a solid set of songs. Trying to track down a CD now.

Took these at SXSW 2012 when Jimmy Cliff sat in with Bruce Springsteen. Also caught Jimmy Cliff’s solo set that week too. He was excellent. RIP Legend

Never saw Phish at the Bayou but went there often 93-95. It was a cool venue.
