That vinyl copy of "Extricate" would have been so very tempting.

Who'd have thought "You're fat" and "I will use the military against US citizens" would be wildly unpopular things among US generals.

If you don't want to be compared to Nazis then stop doing Nazi shit.

Have no fear.

The same Ministry of Truth that brought you "no clear evidence Epstein trafficked children to others", a transtifa assassin, and "Anti ICE" in FBI sharpie on a bullet case will get to the bottom of this soon enough.

The arena was a hockey rink which kind of swallowed REM's sound, but the Beat were great.

Did get to see REM again after "Murmur" at the Orpheum with Dream Syndicate. That was much better.

First time I saw REM they were opening for the English Beat at Boston University. It was 1982 and "Chronic Town" had just been released.

I can't wait for the grandiose Leni Riefenstahl extended cut of this.

Somebody needs the Paradox of Tolerance explained to them.

Horst Wessel 2.0

The beatification of Kirk is nothing more than Horst Wessel 2.0 because this Regime does nothing but follow the Nazi playbook very closely.

So good on a big screen. Really beautiful cinematography.

Twin Cities, 1981

David Minehan of Boston's Neighborhoods filled in on lead guitar for this run of Replacements shows.

Here he and his glorious ginger mullet bang out both sides of their 1st single on a local Boston TV program circa 1982.

The lie fits the MAGA narrative and will be the talking point going forward to better demonize the people they consider their enemy.

And to also and most importantly sidestep any responsibility for what is the result of their own violent and overheated rhetoric.

I remember when this idea was satire.

I didn't think I'd have yet another reason to dislike Clapton today, but here we are.

The turd doesn't fall far from the asshole.

Melissa Hortman, her husband and dog tell a different tale.

Can you humiliate a pompous blowhard sociopath with no shame?

While I do love Peggy & Benny, my favorite version will always be Julie.

Playing Palmer's in Mpls just few days before it shuts down. Give Tony a hug for me when you get there.

Looks like someone spent nearly $15K on a set off Reverb 3 years ago. Must be nice....

He's just trying to grind out some plausible deniability for the impending Post-Trump world. MTG is doing likewise with the Epstein list.

I'm not going to knock him for this, but I still don't trust him or his motives

What is ICE?

Soulless sociopaths.

It's the modern day equivalent of the people who dragged Anne Frank and her family out of hiding and sent them to concentration camps.

Every accusation is a confession with these people.

Today this Yamaha SGV-300 "Flying Samurai" turns 25.

Just a wonderful instrument.

He did. But it certainly wasn't his finest moment on "Reality"

John Cale's version is better, but not by much. (He produced some of the original Modern Lovers sessions)

The Burning Sensations do probably the best cover on the "Repo Man" soundtrack.

Mid-90s:Fine Line, Minneapolis.
Cale starts on solo piano, moves to solo guitar, next brings out a steel player and then one by one over the course of his set a full string quartet.
Ends the night on "Paris 1919" with a full string section.

Just an amazing night.
