not to worry though, Kanye says he's going to run in 2020. whoopie! what a circus that will be!

you're right of course. justice, honor, honesty, integrity and statesmanship will become irrelevant if hillary or donald is president.

Breitbart is pro-trump. He's as big a tool as hillary. I will be voting libertarian (read: 'throwing away my vote') again this cycle because I can't endorse either of the singularly retched and reprehensible sorry excuses for humans the major parties have nominated.

yeah - pretty well - hasn't held a job in 40 years that wasn't government salaried and she's worth a hundred mil. squeaky!

neither did he attack the victims of his spouse's.. um.. "appetites" as whores and bimbos, while proclaiming to be an ardent feminist. so, yeah, there's that.

"unscathed" - that word doesn't mean what you think it means. but to your point, at least Kanye didn't sell state department favors for tens of millions in donations to his 'foundation' and half million dollar speech fees and use that foundation as a slush fund to enrich his family, cronies and co-conspirators. So…

still arguably better than trump or hillary.

I'm as huge a steely dan fan as there is, and MD and Skunk Baxter were huge parts of several of those albums, which is why I said 'paradoxically'. Doesn't make sense I wouldn't like the MD/Skunk years of the doobies as much.

they rocked harder then. the MD era wasn't bad, they just weren't the doobies.

Love LRB. and Atlanta Rythm Section, Average White Band and several other 3 word band names.

stuff that wasn't cool in my teens I now look back on fondly. jackson 5, carpenters, lots of r&b and soul that verged dangerously close to disco - but I always loved steely dan.

just some yacht rock. Steely Dan and paradoxically, pre-McDonald doobies come to mind. Going to see Winwood opening for SD this summer.

Journey was always just in the background for me. not especially endearing or exciting and not especially annoying. Just there. For me, they're kind of like another group from that period, 38 Special. about 12 years ago I saw 38 sp open for Sammy Hagar on free radio tix - I wasn't at all excited to see them, but…

you didn't read what I wrote, now did you?

I am happy to say that I've never gotten involved with a single 'reality' tv show. sometimes 'the voice' or something might be on the tv while I work, but I don't pay much attention. part of me says it's because I'm too high minded to watch such drivel - but the reality is I probably just didn't want to get addicted…

actually, dead on.

Hollywood is another planet. Yes, I believe she could be hypocritical enough to support a friend/child rapist but when it's her own child, be outraged. It's the same type of person who would attack the many women who accuse her husband of sexual assault and rape, while claiming to be for rape victims right to be…

reality has become satire and visa versa. this fall we're going to get to choose between the two most deeply flawed and unlikable candidates, certainly in my lifetime and probably in history. not sure JLD can top reality, but I'm looking forward to her trying.

Jimmy gave his confession a plausible out - "I only said that to make Chuck feel better".

the end for Munny, but I think you can include Walt Kowalski in that category. I can't imagine anyone else in any one of those roles.
