Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Still the best 2 minutes 21 seconds of electric guitar ever caught on film. Magic Sam playing Earl Hooker's cheap-ass Japanese Les Paul copy with flower power stickers on it, live in Europe back in the 1960s. The tone is in his fingers. Good lord, it's GREASY! www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2Q9...

Link your number one* live single-song Bob Dylan performance YouTube video in the replies. Bonus points for saying why it's your top choice today.

* One video per customer

For me: Pancho & Lefty w Willie Nelson. Perfect pairing, full of character, and his '93 voice is just right for the song.

88 years ago today, Robert Johnson stepped into a San Antonio hotel room and changed music forever. His first recording session and recorded blues classics like 'Sweet Home Chicago,' 'Terraplane Blues,' and 'I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom.' The birth of a legend.

One of the most difficult reckonings of this election is that the incentives we thought inspired voting choices - a better life for your family etc - may not be as decisive as the desire to inflict cruelty on outgroups. Explanations that don't grapple w/this point read to me like liberal wishcasting
