Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Come on, man.

Second rate reporter says what?

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Good lord, these people are nuts.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Let there be snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

I really should read my own blog.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Cold Grey Dawn Open Thread: Yawn Wenner Ekes Out Another 15 Minutes

by Anne Laurie|  September 20, 20234:12 am| 108 Comments

This post is in: C.R.E.A.M., Excellent Links, Music, Popular Culture, All Too Normal

The founder of Rolling Stone has been removed from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame board after he said Black and women artists weren’t articulate enough to feature in his book https://t.co/YJGIDiVRiV

— philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) September 16, 2023

He seems to have been responsible for Ralph Steadman’s partnership with Hunter S. Thompson — not to mention introducing HST to a wider audience — and I’m sure there must have been some other good deeds in his long career. But Jann Wenner was never, IIRC, a sympathetic figure to the readers who made him a ‘celebrity’. (Anyone got a link to the Doonesbury duels between ‘Yawn’ and Duke?)

basically the only rule of book promotion is to get people to like you and/or find you interesting and wenner managed to do the polar opposite while self-immolating in record time

quite an achievementhttps://t.co/XNsQer78MT

— rat king ?? (@MikeIsaac) September 17, 2023

Stereogum has a link to the original NYTimes interview where Wenner let his mouth write checks his brain couldn’t cash:

show full post on front page

… In the introduction to his book, Wenner writes that performers of color and women performers were not in his zeitgeist, which led to some questions from Marchese about why he chose the subjects he chose. “The selection was not a deliberate selection,” Wenner said. “It was kind of intuitive over the years; it just fell together that way. The people had to meet a couple criteria, but it was just kind of my personal interest and love of them. Insofar as the women, just none of them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level.”

When Marchese pushed back — “You’re telling me Joni Mitchell is not articulate enough on an intellectual level?” — Wenner responded:

It’s not that they’re not creative geniuses. It’s not that they’re inarticulate, although, go have a deep conversation with Grace Slick or Janis Joplin. Please, be my guest. You know, Joni was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll. She didn’t, in my mind, meet that test. Not by her work, not by other interviews she did. The people I interviewed were the kind of philosophers of rock.

Of Black artists — you know, Stevie Wonder, genius, right? I suppose when you use a word as broad as “masters,” the fault is using that word. Maybe Marvin Gaye, or Curtis Mayfield? I mean, they just didn’t articulate at that level.…

How sharper than a serpent’s tooth…

“While I love him deeply, I do not agree with the comments he made and understand why they are so upsetting and hurtful,” said Gus Wenner, Rolling Stone’s CEO and Jann Wenner’s son, wrote in an email to staff, which was shared with The Washington Post. https://t.co/XbEllE4iKV

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) September 18, 2023


(Unpaywalled) gift link — lots of good info in this article:

Jann Wenner spent 55 years building his legacy as a media entrepreneur, godfather of New Journalism and tastemaker for the baby boomer generation.

It took a single interview for him to throw a good deal of it away…

On Saturday, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which Wenner helped form in 1983, forced him off its governing board. But the deeper cut may have come from the leadership of Rolling Stone, where his own son took steps to distance himself from the 77-year-old Wenner’s sentiments.

“While I love him deeply, I do not agree with the comments he made and understand why they are so upsetting and hurtful,” Gus Wenner, the magazine’s chief executive, wrote Sunday in an email to staff, which was shared with The Washington Post. “I want to be clear, his statements as reported do not represent my beliefs, or the values, practices, and mission of Rolling Stone.”…

Among the least surprised by the comments — for which Wenner later said he apologized “wholeheartedly” — was biographer Joe Hagan, author of 2017’s acclaimed “Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine.”

“The thing about Jann, the thing that made him successful but also is his Achilles’ heel, is that he’s a narcissist who lacks self-awareness,” said Hagan, a writer for Vanity Fair, in an interview. “This is how he talks inside the bubble he lives in. He receives a lot of affirmation for it, and he thinks it’s okay.”

Hagan compared Wenner’s mind-set, if not his politics, to Donald Trump’s, another 77-year-old baby boomer known to speak without much regard for accuracy or self-reflection…

Open Thread: Jimmy Buffett Went to… Paradise

by Anne Laurie|  September 4, 20239:06 pm| 57 Comments

This post is in: Absent Friends, Music, Something Good Open Thread

Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin’s
And drinks his green label each day
He’s writing his memoirs and losing his hearing
But he don’t care what most people say
Through 86 years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he’ll smile then he’ll say
Jimmy, some of it’s magic, some of it’s tragic
But I had a good life all the way

Sad news. Anytime there was a close race in Alabama, Buffet – a Mobile native – was game to record a late robo call to help push the Democrat over the edge.

He'll be missed. https://t.co/TgBCmaANfX

(1/?) A quick story about Jimmy Buffett.

I worked at the New Orleans Margaritaville in college, up until I graduated in 2006. It was a good job. Busy, and with generally good tips, especially on festival weekends – and New Orleans has a lot of those.

— John Veron (@IBetterBeFunny) September 2, 2023

When my friends and I evacuated Katrina, we didn’t think we’d be gone from the city for months, or that we’d lose most of our belongings permanently. We packed light, like for a weekend away.

In the week after, it became clear that we wouldn’t be going home anytime soon.

I ended up in Austin TX with the clothes on my back and little else. For the next three months, I called FEMA every day to try and get some relief money so I could replace what I’d lost.

But you know who didn’t make me wait three months? Jimmy Buffett.

Margaritaville cut us all $3,000 checks immediately after the storm, no questions asked. That money saved lives. They also let employees know that if any of us could get to ANY other Margaritaville, there was a job waiting for us.

Some friends went to Orlando.

In Orlando they were set up with clothes (all Margaritaville merch, but it was better than nothing), a job, and housing. They even comped their meals when they ate at the restaurant.

In October, the New Orleans Margaritaville reopened. With little fanfare, Jimmy played a solo acoustic show in the bar to help bring people in.

Jimmy Buffett showed up for us when we needed it. He took care of me and my friends. I’ll always be grateful.

Character is how someone behaves when they think nobody is watching.

Medium Cool – Memories of Jimmy Buffett and Other Musicians

by WaterGirl|  September 3, 20237:00 pm| 131 Comments

This post is in: Medium Cool, Music, Culture as a Hedge Against This Soul-Sucking Political Miasma We're Living In

Medium Cool is a weekly series related to popular culture, mostly film, TV, and books, with some music and games thrown in.  We hope it’s a welcome break from the anger, hate, and idiocy we see almost daily from the other side in the political sphere.

Arguments welcomed, opinions respected, fools un-suffered.  We’re here every Sunday at 7 pm.

Medium Cool – Memories of Jimmy Buffett and Other Musicians

Just about a month ago we talked about music as poetry, and I talked about Jimmy Buffett as a poet.  The list of great artists we have lost in just a small number of years in long, and we all have musicians whose loss hits us harder than other.  jimmy Buffet is hitting me hard.

I thought that tonight we might talk about memories of concerts by some of the greats that we have lost, and tell our stories about that time we met Jimmy Buffett in a bar or how we bumped into him on a beach.  (I have done neither.)  I worked with a graphic designer who knew Prince when he was still Prince, but other than seeing Dan Folgelberg in a venue that held maybe a hundred people, that’s as close as I have come to famous musicians.

So if you’re up for it, let’s have a musical celebration of life for some of these folks who have made our lives richer.  And if you’re talking about a particular song or album, link to it if you can.

Late Night Open Thread: A Special Afternoon At the Movies

Seems like a good idea to me — surely there’s an audience that would pay for better video conditions than a sports bar? For the sake of the ushers, I just hope the movie theatres involved either have their own beer / wine licenses, or a legal way to charge corkage fees…

The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon ??

Ditto for musicians who can sell out an arena… there are certainly fans who can’t afford three-digit tickets, and / or can’t travel to a live show, who would happily round up their besties for a noisy evening at the local widescreen…

Per the Washington Post:

… AMC began selling tickets to “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” the same day, saying in a statement that it had “bolstered its ticket server capacity to handle traffic at more than 5 times the current record for the most ever tickets sold in an hour.” The movie will premiere in the United States, Canada and Mexico on Friday, Oct. 13 — presumably a reference to Swift’s lucky number.

The movie theater chain warned of possible delays and site crashes due to anticipated demand for tickets, alluding in its statement to Ticketmaster’s infamous meltdown when the tour was announced last November.

By Thursday afternoon, fans were posting images of their seat maps and virtual queues on social media. Tickets cost $19.89 for adults (a reference to Swift’s “1989” album, which she is set to release a new recording of in October) and $13.13 for children and seniors.

Swift has previously released films about her 2009-2010 Fearless Tour, her 1989 World Tour (in 2015) and her Reputation Stadium Tour (in 2018) — though those movies opened after the tours had ended. “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” by contrast, will release before Swift resumes her latest tour in November — starting in Argentina before hitting the global circuit and returning to the United States and Canada in November next year….

Taylor Swift saw Jerome Powell's note about how her tour ending was going to be an economic headwind in Q4 and she decided to single-handedly counteract that

Saturday Morning Open Thread: RIP Jimmy Buffett (And Other Summer Pleasures)

by Anne Laurie|  September 2, 20237:49 am| 154 Comments

RIP Jimmy Buffet.
Loved him. 💜 pic.twitter.com/npFPVPh9db

I’ll confess, I always was and will probably always be an Autumn child… but I admit that this particular turn of the seasonal wheel always comes with a tinge, an acknowledgement that mortality is as much a part of The Eternal as birth.

Headin’ out to San Francisco / For the Labor Day weekend show…

Gift link from the Washington Post — “Jimmy Buffett, musical ‘mayor of Margaritaville,’ dies at 76”:

… “Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” a statement posted on his website and social media accounts said, adding: “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.” No cause of death was disclosed.

Mr. Buffett, a frustrated Nashville country artist, found his muse when he moved to Key West, Fla., in spring 1972, leaving behind a failed marriage and stalled career. Surrounded by blue water, he donned Hawaiian shirts, cutoff shorts and flip-flops, grabbed an old blender, and embraced the quirky beach community with his musical soul…

show full post on front page

Over the next several years, he helped birth tropical rock, a blend of calypso, rock, folk, country and pop music, and rode its vibe into a five-decade career that married his alluring music with astute business acumen…

A self-described “Mark Twainer from way back” — for his love of colloquial satire — Mr. Buffett long held court at Key West’s Chart Room cocktail lounge, exchanging stories with fishermen, sailors and drug runners as well as visiting authors such as Thomas McGuane, Jim Harrison and Truman Capote…

As Parrotheads continued to swarm to his concerts along with their children and grandchildren, Mr. Buffett pivoted to a more family-friendly image and introduced a line of children’s books. “He understands his brand, which has substantial reach,” Warren Buffett told the New York Times in 2016. “One of the secrets to his success is that he never really loses any fans.”

One of his rare misfires was a musical stage adaptation of Herman Wouk’s 1965 book “Don’t Stop the Carnival,” about a middle-aged man who flees to the Caribbean. His jukebox musical “Escape to Margaritaville,” which featured his vast discography, had a short and poorly received Broadway run in 2018 but enjoyed a long, critic-proof national tour before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic cut it short.

His voracious commercial appetite and his restless creative drive was evident to anyone looking behind the free-flowing beach clothes and the party-time persona.

“I remember, years ago, seeing kind of a has-been country singer working — when I first moved to Nashville — working in a bar in a Holiday Inn,” he told “60 Minutes.” “And it was obvious that it had been somebody that’d been there and come back down, and I never wanted to make that run back down. ‘Remember me back in 1977? I had this one hit, “Margaritaville.”’ I did not want to be one of those people.”

💔Heartbreaking! My aunt used to live near Jimmy Buffet in Key West, and he was a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton, and democrats. No doubt, you’ll have your own Margaritaville in heaven. RIP Legend. 1946-2023 pic.twitter.com/rkbsqY3WP7

Apparently there’s a musical movement in Peru called Qpop

It emulates the aesthetics and musical styles of K-pop, but it’s done by indigenous Quechua speakers

In an added twist the biggest band’s lead singer is named *Lenin* Tamayo

pic.twitter.com/OZpe7vrswe

— Andrés Pertierra (@ASPertierra) August 24, 2023

Global global music! Yes, it’s real, per the AP — “Q-Pop: Peru’s social media phenomenon Lenin Tamayo fuses Quechua and K-pop”:

What happens when you take Quechua, the most widely spoken Indigenous language in the Americas, and fuse it with K-pop, the global musical sensation with roots in South Korea?

Ask Lenin Tamayo, who has become a social media phenomenon with “Q-pop” and released his first digital album this week.

Tamayo grew up listening to his mother, a Peruvian folk artist who sings in Spanish and Quechua, a language shared by 10 million speakers in countries including Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. As a teenager, K-pop became his passion and helped him find a group of like-minded female classmates who helped fight the bullying he says he faced at school for his Indigenous looks.

Now himself a musician, the 23-year-old Tamayo has fused those chapters, mixing Spanish and Quechua lyrics with K-pop beats to create Q-pop (in which the “Q” stands for “Quechua”). He’s amassed more than 4.4 million likes on his TikTok account and released five digital singles online…

However, Wikipedia claims the moniker for Kazahkstan — per Youtube, going back to 2015!

‘Something Like Hope’ (Open Thread)

by Betty Cracker|  August 9, 20238:32 am| 224 Comments

This post is in: Music, Open Threads

The Indigo Girls are having a moment because their most famous song is featured at a key scene in the Barbie movie. Here are Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers performing their then-new hit on the Letterman show in 1989:

NYT columnist Lydia Polgreen talks about what it means to witness the renewed relevance of a song that was a staple of one’s “angsty adolescence” — and why the Indigo Girls remain on her playlist well into middle age (gift link):

They are, as the kids would say, cringe.

Cringe: the ultimate insult of our era. It implies a kind of pathetic attachment to hope, to sincerity, to possibility. Cringe is not exclusively female; the musical “Hamilton,” written by a man, Lin-Manuel Miranda, is definitely cringe. But in these hardened times, it implies a kind of naïveté that so often gets coded as feminine, a silly belief that human beings, through sincere effort, might actually improve themselves and the world. That things might, somehow, get better. Feminism? Definitely cringe. And if feminism is cringe, then lesbians are double cringe. And the Indigo Girls? We’re talking cringe squared…

We live in dangerous, frightening times. We’ve been through a pandemic and stared down a global recession. Rights that seemed secure — to control our bodies, to marry whom we love, to vote — are under attack. We’re once again reminded of the ever-present threat of nuclear war and confrontation with China. It’s likely the hottest summer in recorded history. You can respond to these circumstances with fatalistic cynicism. Or you can meet them with a sense of possibility, grounded in reality, loosely tethered to something like hope.

To me, this is what the Indigo Girls are all about. Sincerity coupled with wisdom, which is a recipe for something durable: solidarity. A sense that we are in this together. The Indigo Girls are great. Cringe but true. That’s because the kernel of who we are is cringe. That is what it means to be open to the world. To be open to the possibility of a future different from who you are now. When we are young, we feel that way because we don’t know any better. Eventually you get to a place where you know all the ways it can go wrong and feel open anyway.

We could all use something like hope these days, and it’s there if you look for it. I saw it last night in Ohio. I’m even seeing it in Florida!
