Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

All hail the time of the bunny!

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

    That Cavett Show is awesome. The Airplane closed it and Dick had to jump in front of the camera and sign off!

    Grew up with his music. The first really big concert I went to was the CSN comeback tour stop in Philadelphia. Their new stuff wasn’t… all that. But they mostly did their classic stuff, and it still was.

    I don’t share DC’s disdain for The Doors.

    But David Crosby had  decent measure of humility and empathy often lacking with the super successful.  He lived a big life with that gifted voice.

    @raven: Cavett has great segments and entire shows on his YouTube channel.  Like this rare one with Jimi taking about the 101st (link)

    @raven:  Well, aren’t you a ray of sunshine.

    I didn’t realize that comments are restricted to those of which you approve.

    @karen marie:

    I don’t know, should I be?  It’s a tribute thread and I hate when people gather to specifically share positive thoughts only to have someone show up to poop in the punch bowl.

    “I loved Hamilton!”

    “OMG, Hamilton was so boring!”

    DC would not appear on my list of the 100 greatest performers. I never met him and so cannot truly comment on his character.  Was he a wholly shitty person sans talent?

    Joni Mitchell looks so young.  Geez, did she start performing at 12 years old?  Or is everyone looking younger because I am getting older?

    @West of the Rockies: You made a claim about him that’s just wildly untrue.

    I’ll know going forward — now that you’ve explained it — to check your and Raven’s comments so I don’t make the mistake of disagreeing with something either of you say.

    I’m starting to understand the conversation here the other day that people are deciding there are other places where their time is better spent.

    @David ⛄ 🎅The Establishment🎄 🦌 🕎 Koch:

    House next door to us is where Cavett grew up into his early teens. My now deceased friend & Neighbor Glenn bought it from his parents in the 1950s. Big tree in front yard (now falling apart) planted by Dick as a child.

    Like Adam Lang my first large concert was on that 70s tour in Chicago. My tastes changed to other things over the years. But I sort of like his old man persona. And about Jim Morrison I kind of see the axe Crosby was grinding, even if Patti Smith’s judgement warns me not to be so harsh.

    Songs this man wrote and sang permeate memories from my late teens and early twenties. I am grateful for those words and notes and the rest is dross.
