I know. You’re tired. You’ve had enough of it. You’ve had enough of the ads. You’ve had enough of the political canvasing calls. And the texts, and the e-mails.You’ve had enough of the angry Facebook posts, and the political discussions with friends. You’re tired of the news reports, breathlessly counting down the candidates’ last-minute rallies…Continue reading “What Difference Does It Make?”

How To Stop a Debate
How do you describe the look on Donald Trump’s face last night? From the moment he took the debate stage in Cleveland, he had that odd, yet strangely familiar affectation.Pouting? Hurt? Annoyed at having to be there? I guess you could call it Angry White Man, 2020. From the moment he took the stage, Trump’sContinue reading “How To Stop a Debate”
Van Morrison: Enemy of the State!!!
I’ll be honest with you. I haven’t gotten a new Van Morrison album since… 1992?I had to look that up. It would’ve been Hymns to the Silence, his 1991 album. Hymns to the Silence was Van’s last gasp at relevancy. (You can probably guess, this is not going to be a very complementary article.)It cameContinue reading “Van Morrison: Enemy of the State!!!”
Bringing Him Back to Life: The John Prine “Picture Show” Tribute
This one’s for my friend Bob McLaughlin, a guy without a drop of fear in his blood. When John Prine bought the farm back in April (his words, not mine), I was pretty angry. I knew that John had fought through a lot – two bouts with cancer, before Covid-19 finally felled him. But IContinue reading “Bringing Him Back to Life: The John Prine “Picture Show” Tribute”
A Box of Inspirations For You
The Internet can be a mean place. In case you hadn’t heard. Whether it’s people shouting at each other on Twitter, or pro-Trump/anti-Trump “debates” on Facebook, or attention-craving “models” on Instagram, it is probably not a healthy place for anybody to spend too much time. But every once in a while, something pops up thatContinue reading “A Box of Inspirations For You”
Sarah Cooper’s Old Stuff… And the New Sarah Cooper
When somebody bursts on the scene, like Sarah Cooper did this Spring, we tend to think that she’s come out of nowhere.As I raved in June, her Tik Tok videos (and now her YouTube videos) have altered the political landscape, by using Donald Trump’s very own words to show his inanity. Calling her masterpieces “lipContinue reading “Sarah Cooper’s Old Stuff… And the New Sarah Cooper”
Sports: The Reward for a Functioning Society
When I started this little blog, I figured I’d spend a lot of my time writing about sports. Sports has always been a passion for me, as much as music has been. It’s been that way since I was ten years old, when I moved to a small town in central Massachusetts, and landed inContinue reading “Sports: The Reward for a Functioning Society”
November: A Nightmare Scenario
What follows here is pretty scary.It’s intended to be. Everything I talk about here could happen, very easily. These are just four of the things that could go wrong with the election in November. This is not doomsday scenario, conspiracy theory stuff. These are things that unbiased political observers are talking about. They are thingsContinue reading “November: A Nightmare Scenario”
“There’s Always a Tweet”
With the holiday weekend, I needed an article that would “write itself.” So I decided to simply use the words of the current occupant of the White House. Donald J. Trump has the uncanny ability to send a Tweet that will, years later, be a source of great embarrassment to him. It has evoked oneContinue reading ““There’s Always a Tweet””
TikTok Teens and K-Pop Stans Save the World!!!
I know, I know… What does that headline even mean??? This is a delightful, heartwarming story. It’s a story about Korean pop music bands, and overzealous fans, and “woke” grandmothers, and social media-active teenagers, and how they all came together to make life difficult for Donald Trump, and his followers. America first became exposed toContinue reading “TikTok Teens and K-Pop Stans Save the World!!!”
