Rest In Power to the GOAT. Jack DeJohnette - the incredible drummer, pianist, & composer, whose influence & importance to Jazz, and contemporary improvised music can not be overstated. @LivingColour offers heartfelt condolences to his family, fellow musicians, friends & fans๐Ÿ’œ

Ozzy Osborne.
Black Sabbath.
Broke EVERY rule. Especially their own.
Ozzy Osborne was Larger Than Life in ways that defy mere description.
Feared. Beloved. Revered
Metal began with Him.
As well as its ensuing Panic.
He changed EVERYTHING.

The volatility between the 2 countries has been needlessly ratcheted up to a space of unpredictability. Taipei chips are at the heart of tech advancement. Its independence is precarious, only held together by perceived stability in the region. These Tariff Wars are absolutely not helping

That the stock market has rebounded, should not give false comfort.The expanding Econ conflict with China could easily spill over into real War. If Beijing is pushed far & hard enough? Taipei is in a Problem.American isolation from its allies could factor in to pushing One Chinaโ€™s timetable forward.

Every time I hear Right Wing talking points abt The โ€œRadicalโ€Left, thatโ€™s Centrist (at BEST?). ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ ๐Ÿคฃ. WE HAVE NO โ€œLEFTโ€. The accusation is ludicrous.The idea that healthcare shouldnโ€™t BANKRUPT US, being seen as a Socialist Plot is LAUGHABLE. Capitalism is EATING US ALIVE at the Table Of The OLIGARCHS

We (along with Anthrax) were one of the handful of Rock bands that embraced Rap & Hiphop early on. Iโ€™m very proud of the fact that I played on the very first Publuc Enemy record Yo! Bum Rush The Show!

Problematic as FBI & CIA are ? The Secret Police to follow, loyal Only To Him, shouldnโ€™t give most of us comfort. What we take for granted? Presumption of innocence? Rules of warrants, & evidence? Security of possessions & privacy? Will fall away quickly. Welcome to Blackness. Make yourselves Comfy!

At a Certain Point- the sheer incoherence of what is happening; the complete insanity of removing people with YEARS of experience with, & knowledge of, not only how things work, but how the working parts INTERACT with each other, is going to GRIND EVERYTHING we take for granted to an anarchic HALT.
