I'm not that interesting, but I do follow and repost a lot of interesting people. Ok, occasionally I will post some interesting music stuff. Because I love music to distraction.

Just found a budget package of the first six Tower of Power albums, including this banger... For someone who plays either bass or drums, these albums are just master classes in what to do.

In the Court of the Crimson King. As far as debut prog LPs go, this is one of the best. Giles' drumming. Lake's vocals. And especially Fripp's guitar. Quite ambitious songcraft. Unforgettable title track and Schizoid Man. And that cover art. My parents hated it but I always thought it was awesome.

For the few people who follow me -- actually for the fewer who read my posts: I feel like there must be a list somewhere of who donated to which person in congress. I mean, such a list would be useful in knowing who we have to vote out.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

At the local bookstore, I found a cheap used copy of M (the Peter Lorre movie). It was cheap because it was blu-ray and it seems no one who loves old movies likes blu-ray. I understand that. Not every technological advance is good.

In the spirit of "Grab joy where you can" I'm listening to every album Prince recorded during his lifetime. I won't be listening to him every day - I do have other things in my record collection - but I want to hear them all. It's great hearing the development of an artist.

Previously I had a post that used very strong language. I was asked by a family member to delete that post for...reasons. But here's the gist of it: We've handed the reins of power over to the world's stupidest bully. OF COURSE he would surround himself with other stupid bullies

What I am continually hearing from Democrats: - your insurance premiums are going up - your groceries are getting more expensive - now contribute to my campaign I'm sorry, but this is making me crazy ON TOP of all the other craziness. Show us that you're working on a solution. Then ask for money.

Why is the stupidest man in the world impoverishing the most vulnerable to enrich himself and his "friends"? I don't actually believe he has friends. I think most of his cronies consider him a useful idiot.

If we had to come up with the most overused word of 2025, I'd vote for "iconic". "Unhinged" comes a close second but there were certainly a lot of cases where that was the proper word to use.
