The great Atlanta musician whose funky guitar playing and raspy deep soul vocals should be enough to convince he's a great lost soul treasure. Nice instrumental take of the Beatles classic.

The Dangerous Incoherence of Trump’s War With Iran The president doesn’t have a clear goal in Iran but thinks he can end the war before that becomes a problem. But the problem is: He can’t.

It’s a foreign policy of reckless action and spectacular violenceβ€”and no clear strategic objectives beyond creating content for social media. trib.al/FD0H0zp

My Grandmother bought me With The Beatles when it came out in 1964 from Klein's Dept Store on 14th St.
It either enlightened or ruined for life, however you want to look at it.🌟

β€œMassive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

"Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

Reported US-Israeli strike hits a girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran. Over 100 children dead. And the usual β€œwe only hit military targets” script rolls on. If you’re still swallowing that PR, you’re the product. No euphemisms: this is slaughter.

In NYC, everyone knows, when the U.S. starts another war, people protest by marching to Times Square which has a U.S. Army recruiting station at the center.

This is today at "Stop War on Iran" march.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

One of the most innovative of San Francisco’s lost bands, they cut a few 45s as The Trolls before morphing into Stained Glass and cutting a series of 45s and 2 excellent LPs for Capitol Records.

Awesome, deep song, especially among a lot of the superficiality and pretense of 1968. A high point of that era.

Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now it’s our turn.
