A little known fact: The Standells were major contributors to the writing to the song.

During Hitler's reign of terror, many claimed to not know of his ruthlessness.
Today, there is no excuse except from ignorance.
The dumbest among us have prevailed.

California pays more in federal taxes than it receives.

Since several Republican members of congress are suggesting withholding aid to CA, including two whose states haver received disaster aid, I'm with Whoopi on this!

Musk, a spurned lover.

Trump was entertaining Jeff Bezos at Mar a-Lago, when Musk crashed the event. He was reportedly acting "deranged and creepy". His at-risk "bromance" with Trump was apparent.

You can't make this stuff up.

"Dirty Water" was just beginning to rise on the charts. This was just before our tour with The Rolling Stones.

Every year at about this time, I honor original members Dick Dodd and Gary (Lane) McMillan, remembering their contributions to the success of the Standells.

Rest in peace, Dick and Gary!

Trump's good friend Vlad calls him "intelligent and experienced".

Premeditated Ignorance, a condition suffered by many who voted for Trump.

When they find themselves suffering from Trump's draconian policies like reduced medical benefits and a 20% tariff tax, they will claim "I didn't know".

A few days ago, Nazis marched through the streets of Ohio with swastikas. Look forward to them becoming even more emboldened when Trump takes office.

Just yesterday, neo-Nazis with swastikas marched through the streets of Ohio. When Trump is in power we will be seeing much more of this.

Letโ€™s put it this way, without his white followers I believe that Kamala would have won the race.

Like the Germans did in 1938. This time they can't say "I didn't know".

Voters elected Hitler because they liked his fascist promise. Trump's reelection repeats that history Voters elected Hitler because they liked his fascist promise. In 2024, the same appears to be true for Trump.

Trump voters approve of Trump/Hitler comparison, but still vote for him.

Ah, what harm can a 2nd Der Fuehrer do? Just reexamine Hitler's rise to power.

Why would a autocratic dictatorship need FBI background checks?
By avoiding this process some of the worst scum can be included in Trump's cabinet, most of whom have absolutely no experience in their fields. Fortunately, at this moment much of congress seems to agree.
