"Bohunk" started out as a slur for people from Bohemia in the Czech Republic; similar to how Archie Bunker called his son-in-law a dumb Pollack. It turned into a generic term for dumb hick

President Biden should have never run for a second term. An open primary would have resulted in whoever won having the support of a majority of Democrats. I was a Harris supporter, but she was put in an impossible position

I do have a question about the role of management. Are they representing the label? Are they hired by the band? Are the band members hired by them? Sometimes in the stories it seems like the managers are the bosses & the band are employees.
