Much as I will always love "Take On Me," ever iconic for a reason, this followup single 1) should have been bigger over than it was, even as this helped fully cement their imperial phase elsewhere 2) was bought by me at the time on 12" and said 12" mix is still a total fucking banger. Happy 40th.

In a day filled with ugliness, I will share this joke my six year-old told me:
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Europe.
Europe who?
No, *yer* a poo.

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust.
He has proven these points virtually every day since.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.
