We live in age of plenty that is short circuited by billionaires hoovering it up in the dust bags of their bank
We're constantly bombarded with the messaging that there's just not enough to go around and we should be thankful what we've got, in order to obscure that the reason there's not enough to go around is that the vampires demand 99% of it for themselves.

This is absolutely a gorgeous album.

Top 5
What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Literally no question about it

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Two words:
Priests and altar boys.

Really not a place I would go as a catholic publication
Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

Gonna write something now but I interviewed for the last time in January. He had a lot of problems in his final years but he was determined to work and be creative to the end. I hope he is at peace now.

RIP Todd Snider. One of the greats, an unheralded songwriters' songwriter and a genuine character. Loved and proselytized for almost as long as I've been a music critic. A guy not only influenced by Prine/Kristofferson/Jerry Jeff but he seemed to come out of the same world.
