I've been setting up and running sound systems for musicians and theatrical presentations since Lyndon Johnson was President of The United States

In 1866, Congress passed a bill that prohibits the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to use the portrait or likeness of any living person on currency notes, bonds, or securities. Maybe Representative Wilson knows something about a currently “living person” that might change soon

For the first time since 1914 press access will be handled “in house”
The press secretary fo the current president stated "The White House press team in this administration will determine who gets to enjoy the very privileged and limited access in spaces such as Air Force One and the Oval Office.

One of today's demonstrations took place in front of the Tesla showroom in San Francisco.
Several people present mentioned this sign that was hung on the outside of a third story window in the building.
This is the best photo of it that I've seen so far.

”The state can’t give you freedom,
and the state can’t take it away.
You’re born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume,
then you wait for someone to try to take it away.
The degree to which you resist is
the degree to which you are free.”
-Utah Phillips
Re: your “politicians in the shower” comment in the show notes.
In 1996 former Police Chief and incumbent Mayor of San Francisco was running for re-election. He posed for this photo with radio shock jocks “Mark and Brian”.
I don't think this cost him the election but it didn't help.
I’ve worked on the sound crew for some of his solo performances.
He is, indeed, friendly, courteous and “chill”.
My mother, who retired as a librarian to become the mom of a “mom and pop drugstore” told me that I could read any book in the library that I could reach.
She also told me where they kept the step stool and ladder.
The only reason I want to watch this is to see which member of his cabinet and staff is the first to hear "YOU'RE FIRED!"
