Song: I Want to Live Forever
#musicsky #folkmusic #americana
I want to live forever, see how things turn out.
Travel to the moon & stars & see what they're about.
Even if they're barren rocks windswept and cold
I want to live forever, but I don't want to get old...

#shutdown Dems look like they caved.
"It's been 40 days and 40 nights, there seems no end in sight. There's a bearded guy quoting scripture wants to lead me to the light. He can take his choirs of angels & leave me here to die; w/ a shot of tequila in one hand & a teardrop in my eye."

#Mamdani Conservative and far right-wing pundits are talking about millionaires and billionaires planning to leave NYC for low tax states like Florida. Let's flip the question. How much do billionaires or multi-millionaires actually contribute net to their home cities/states?

I know it's #floriduh, but this is beyond disappointing. This used to be a moderate vaguely purple area before Trump. And DeSanctimonious only won his first term by less than 1/2 point statewide. Now cashing in on #ICE.

While Trump sucks up all the oxygen on Earth, stuff is still going on outside his direct purview. In Florida, for example, Vietnam Vet sends the FL CFO a postcard saying, "You have no values." Two armed goons from the CFO show up at his door to harass, I mean "question" him. #Floriduh

#AI do you get the feeling that we're witnessing the end of the human race? AI is gobbling up all the energy, the climate is toast, Trump is diddling while the planet burns. Time for last call in the Titanic ballroom. #Democracy

Some impressions from the #NoKings rally in Sarasota FL #NoKingsSarasota . Not the biggest rally in the world, though I think it may have been close to a thousand people. Stretched about five blocks along Washington Blvd downtown. Great Energy! Positivity! Great signs! Peace and Love!

#misicsky This morning at the #NoKings rally in Sarasota this song came to mind. "Imagine all the people sharing all the world." youtu.be/Ts0XSyWpMnU?...

This song came to mind when I was at the #NoKings rally in Sarasota FL this morning. #musicsky Took me back to the old days! Joyful celebration with old and young joining in! "Look what's happening out in the streets!"

#NoKings I hate these mainstream commentators who say that Democracy will not drive voters. In isolation, that may be true. But each person attending has a laundry list of reasons & grievances against this government and this tyrant who is destroying the country. It's simply an organizing framework.

This is a song of mine dealing w/ troubled times, like what we are going through, internal & external. About navigating thru darkness and finding your way "beyond the pain and lies" back to your true self. Find you Courage. Peace and Love!!!

Ditto. when I find the biggest one in Sarasota Floriduh, I'll be there. Sorry Tom Emmer, we don't hate America. You and Trump do. Heck, he's declared war on the US and the 20th Century.

It's such a great feeling to open the daily paper for another reminder that I live where the Confederacy and Jim Crow are reanimating. For what else was Charlier Kirk than one of the many two-bit "modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom." He would have stood in the door with Geo Wallace.

Heard a young kid singing this the other night. Sad that it's still so f'ing relevant...
