You’d think that any human Facebook monitor with a lick of sense would have looked for Richard Spencer to ban him.

She’ll be treated as the victim. It will be spun that she was battling alcoholism, a medical condition.

It is not a Linda Ronstadt song. Lori Lieberman wrote and sang it first but Roberta Flack made it popular.

God, that was a shitstorm of mediocrity....

The Brits feel Black music. They study it and appreciate it. Believe it or not, especially The Beatles. Americans just want to capitalize it. In fact, I believe that there was a conspiracy to make Black americans dislike The Beatles and claim that they were “stealing” from our musicians. The truth is that they…

Eric Clapton?

The Clash!

The Beatles? The Rolling Stones? Led Zeppelin?

White Americans? Not so much. Brits? Yes.

I came to terms long ago that what I tend to find most compelling rarely achieves the sort of mainstream accolades that the quality and critical acclaim seems to warrant. There are a…

Rhys and Russell convey more emotion with a single look than Kevin Spacey ever could with all of his haminess.
