In the 90's #GreenDay had the raw intensity of Punk, but resonated with mainstream audiences. #NOBRO has potential to do the same - singing provocative lyrics, with a non-threatening facade. As people hear/see them, I believe they're about to explode.

The band I most wanted to see at #PunkRockBowling, but canceled, was Kid Kapichi. Not sure, but suspect it was the U.S. political climate. A band known for working-class anthems derailed by the very forces they rail against. It's so FUCKED UP.

Punk Rock song of the day. Working on a playlist of Punk adjacent EDM, I came across the electronic version of Psychic Dance Routine. Scowl's a band that I don't care for much of their material, but never get tired of hearing the songs I like.

#PunkRock song of the day. A couple of weeks ago I saw #VodooGlowSkulls in ABQ. I was next to the stage and it felt like being submerged in fun. I've never seen brass work so hard. It's like the brass was integrated into to songs as if another guitar.

#PunkRock song of the day. This year my discovery at #PunkRockBowling was Louisville hardcore band #Shitfire. Their performance was a wake-up call, being one the first bands to take the stage. They were tight. They were intense. And Hannah Blakeman owned the stage.

Feeling the urge to give back to the #PunkRock world, and doing so with a song of the day - although, not promising daily, and it'll be kinda random. Let's start with Upchuck's Freaky, and a message to the black community - GIVE PUNK A TRY, we'd love your influences.

#PunkRockBowling another fantastic festival - my fifth in a row. Sharing a shot of the most surreal scene. During #TheAddicts performance, they released these giant inflated balls onto the crowd. The spectacle of watching them bouncing up and down as the band continued to perform was pure delight.

Every weekend Trump treats himself to a golf getaway. These getaways cost tax payers $3.5-4M each.
For that cost, the gov could cover the annual cost of training 100 scientists, engineers, doctors, etc.
Most stupid prioritization of spending tax payer dollars EVER!!!!

In school, if you saw a bully harassing someone, did you speak up or stand back. If the latter, it's not too late. There has never been a more important time to speak up, take action and resist Trump, and his followers who will do whatever he says and believe whatever he tells them.

Proud to say we have instructed the financial advisors managing our 401Ks and other retirement savings to dump stock in Tesla and Musk's other companies.
Trump, Musk and others need to learn. They should live in fear of the American consumer - because there is no more powerful force in the world.

This is what Trump said over the weekend, "People are going to have so much money they're not going to know how to spend it all."
If creating a fictionalized con man who'd lost his edge, but grifting had become so deeply ingrained, it was a force of habit, this is exactly what they'd say.

I believe that the Zelensky-Trump meeting moved the timeline forward because Trump signaled that he never had any intent of honoring any deal made with Ukraine. Trump has a long history of reneging on deals, contracts, etc. and the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Luv it when Trumpees hear about economic boycotts and say they'll just go spend more. Really they're saying they'll spend money they don't have as an antagonistic gesture - kinda sounds like Trump.

Tomorrow February 28th is the first in a series of Economic Boycotts - time to show corporate America the consumer is in charge and we are not happy. Their support of Trump is unacceptable. There's no surprise consumer confidence is at the lowest level in four years.

It's alarming that with Trump's embrace of Putin, many in the MAGA-sphere have expressed their desire for the U.S. to be more like Russia.
These same MAGA-philes spent 4 years relentlessly criticizing and mocking Joe Biden. If they'd done the same in Russia, they would have gone to jail.

#PunkRockBowling Sun May 25th Spiritual Cramp - This SF-area band has such a fresh and sharp sound. They remind me of my hopes for what alt-Rock would become in the 1990's. And, their punk attitude is unquestionable as they keep a clear focus on what is real to real people.

Trump is prone to assume others are like him. Trump mistakenly believes Putin is just another wheeler-and-dealer. No, Putin is a staunch ideologue who has expressed his longing for the Soviet Union. Putin has devoted his career to the destruction of the U.S., and the U.S.-European alliance.

Each year of Trump's previous term, the fed gov ran deficits: $665B 2017; $779B 2018; $984B 2019; and $3,100B 2020. That is as if every U.S. taxpayer took a loan of $37,000.
Past performance predicts a failed U.S. economy will be added to the growing list of Trump's spectacular business failures.
