Very cool music, AL, thanks!
For last week and this one, I have been playing two things pretty constantly:
– last week was Billy Idol’s Rebel Yell
– this week is Walking Paper’s 2nd album, WP 2
Although given how today went, a little Dropkick Murphys would be a good idea too…

For some reason I thought of Preston Brooks assaulting Charles Sumner today.
Nowadays, the media would spend weeks decrying the incivility of Sumner’s speech while sweeping Brooks’s nearly lethal violence under the rug as “oh, Southerners gonna Southern.”
Church on Sunday he’s the first in line
Last week he gave the preacher a fine
You can’t hate a man for what he must do
But if his cause ain’t just and his word untrue
That man in the robe’s a devil in disguise
The bailiff’s books are filled with lies
Election time and Jones will never lose
With a gun at your back in the voting booth
You can’t do what you think is right
Sad as it is
There’s a hangin’ tonight

Trump world is too stressful 24/7. I need to clear my head once in a while. Especially about right now. Thank goodness we get 2 shows of Dead & Co Monday & Tuesday at the Shoreline. Something to look forward to.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. There is no better balm for my battered soul than wonderful music, especially if it is new to me.
I left my friend’s house this afternoon after watching much soccer and when PBS told me the news on the radio, I literally felt socked in the stomach (certainly not the first time in the last many months). Your videos brought me back to feeling almost OK again and I thank you so much for that.
My bank mule in WoW dinged to 99 today. Considering the only things he participates in which involve getting xp are holiday quests, that ain’t hay.

And BTW, your 110s should be getting a pre-release of next expansion quest now when they log on to kind’a sort’a buff up their weapons. Hard to believe Blizzard could make Silithus less pleasant, but they did. Quest chain itself is easy peasy and not terribly long to run through.

John Lewis has good advice
Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.
@hilts: Saw it in April. I second this endorsement.

Thank you for the Punjabi bagpiper. That made me feel that we’ll win in the long run, that a more diverse America will be stronger than a bunch of old angry white people. I need this to be true since my daughter is marrying a man of Indian descent in March, and I’m wondering if I can trust my Fox-watching, immigrant-disparaging sister to behave herself at the wedding.
