Remember that the sexual abuse accusers listed here are only the ones we who went public, some to court.

I'm beginning to think that "Bubba" isn't a person, but Epstein's pet name for his scrawny misshapen putz.

As the star of my next novel is an E-type Jaguar, I went along to see one at a local classic car meet. There was also a gorgeous Morgan there as well as a very beautiful old Citroen. I'm getting a bit obsessed with these cars myself. Beautiful design and integrity will always last.

Currently writing my next novel in which the E-type Jaguar is the absolute hero. Praised as 'the most beautiful car ever made' by Enzo Ferrari, I had the opportunity today to experience first-hand a beautifully restored dark blue, E-type 4.2 Series 2, roadster. #e-type #jaguar

Hey Kirkland & Ellis, Allen Overy Shearman Sterling, Simpson Thatcher, and Latham & Watkins! If you're not prepared to stand up for your own integrity, why would I ever pay you to stand up for mine! Shame on you!

If Paul, Weiss is not willing to stand up for themselves when under pressure, why would they stand up for you? Find another law firm. #PaulWeiss

It would appear now that America has got to the stage where the richest man in the world is cutting off aid to the poorest in the world and very few are challenging such an action in a nation that considers itself to be Christian.

Canada is a constitutional monarchy with King Charles of Great Britain at its head. If Trump continues to talk about making Canada a 51st State and thereby affecting its sovereignty, the British King and the UK government really needs to come up with a response to this.

Screen shot of a tweet by Scott MacFarlane stating the weather forecast is predicting temperatures in the low teens on Inauguration Day and Billie Nelson replied saying “at least we know Matt Gaetz will show up then!”

Finding A Smaller Audience Accepting — and even embracing — a more selective appeal

For all my writer, musician and artist friends out there, here is a very interesting (and long too!) article on trying to find meaning and a way to live as an artist in these commodified, AI, branded, social media times.

Personally I think America is about to enter into very dark times and it will be hard to be positive. But at least we should try to be kind.

As the date looms for the beginning of Donald Trump's second term, you might be interested in my latest novel about an American talk-show host who suffers the consequences of being "as mad as hell and not being able to take it anymore" in a high-profile interview with an American president.

Carly Simon Sings a Medley of Her Hit Songs Live on the Stern Show (2002) YouTube video by The Howard Stern Show

Here's a little bit of music trivia that I didn't know anything about. While there has always been a great mystery re who Carly Simon's 'You're So Vain' was about (methinks Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson), I never knew 'Anticipation' was about Cat Stevens. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFUk...
