Re: Woke

I think HST wasn't far from the truth about "the American dream," but there was no way that "Fear and Loathing" (in Vegas) was ever going to fully translate to the big screen. You had to read the book.

Re: One Nation Under a Groove

And now listening to my other favorite blast from the past song, "Ghost Town" by the Specials. THE song that first made me want to play bass guitar.

Re: Woke

I admit I didn't read the link, but I love the phrase "tyranny of words." A surprisingly big problem

Re: One Nation Under a Groove

And I still like the message. At this point, all of this talk I've heard recently about another "civil war" is just that, just talk. Neighbors don't really talk to each other in that way. It's manufactured by unnecessarily tribal political factions. Wake up!

Re: Bold Talk for a One-Eyed Fat Man

I always liked "Well, the conversation kind of dried up, ma'am ..." (in response to "You were only supposed to talk to him, why did you have to kill him? ..."), from The Undefeated.

Bold Talk for a One-Eyed Fat Man

I like John Wayne movies.
What they meant, not sure.
Time will tell, but I liked that
line from True Grit, even
both versions of it.

Re: Enough, already

The disturbing thing is, half the population of the former United States thinks this is exactly what needed to happen. I agree, lace up the boots, but not like that.

Re: One Nation Under a Groove

It is peak P-funk. It's unique in the Funkadelic catalog for sure (it would fit into a Parliament album, I think). Mainly I just like the message.

Re: A Trailside Moment

A familiar sort of moment. I'm having more of those kind of moments as I wander on my trail. Part of the interwoven fabric indeed.

Re: One Nation Under a Groove

I'm going to blast this jam at least once a week from my car and out my front door until we stop squabbling like 2-year-olds over fucking manufactured tribal politics.

Re: my first year in Key West

Man, that is so cool. I hope I make it down to Key West before I shuffle off. Maybe check out Hemingway's place, if it hasn't been bulldozed yet.

Re: Trumptruth

As long as we remember one basic natural law, we'll survive this event: his truth is fabricated.

Btw, I ain't sayin' that other politicians haven't also had this sort of problem, nor am I implying that they've been saints, but FFS, LOSE THE IDEA THAT THIS DUDE IS SOME SORT OF MESSIAH.
