Song Of The Day For Oct. 3, 2019: “I Want You Back”-The Jackson 5
This was #1 on the soul/r&b charts for 1969. Feel free to sing and dance along: OK, I can’t resist. Here’s my fave cover of the song. Not from 1969:
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: September, 2019
Fewer songs this month, some more mellow than usual, likely the result of my having been away for two weeks and not obsessing daily over music. I think you’ll enjoy what I did find, though. I just heard of this band. I mean, like, last week. FWIW, they’re my kind of band. Feel free to […]

Rudy’s Sleazy Ukraine Ties. Hey, he has to finance his ‘free’ work for Trump somehow. AG Jennings Joins In Brief Supporting DACA. I love Matt Denn, but Kathy Jennings may be the best Delaware AG I’ve seen. Steel Plant In Louisiana Closes Unexpectedly. Why? Trump’s tariffs. 376 workers lose their jobs.

Song(s) Of The Day: A Trifecta From CCR
Creedence Clearwater Revival put out three albums in 1969, each one featuring at least one all-time classic. From Bayou Country: From Green River (a great song in its own right): No, the bathroom is not on the right.

Song Of The Day: ‘Gimme Shelter’: The Rolling Stones
As my classmates and I celebrate our 50th High School Reunion this month (Brandywine HS, Class of ’69), I’m gonna present a month of great songs from one of the greatest years in music ever.

Biden Campaign Abandoning The Digitally-Inclined. Ain’t enough old white men in Iowa, or old back men in South Carolina, to win him the nomination. Two Scummy Lawyers With Delaware Ties Worked ‘Off The Books’ For Rudy. And his crackpot Ukraine adventure. Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing. Husband-and-wife conspiracy theorists.

The Delaware Political Hot Stove: Sept., 2019
There’s a subscribers’ only News-Journal article up today and, while it mostly recounts what we already knew, they broke some news. News that I had not printed b/c I was told off-the-record. But it could be a pretty big deal for the composition of the Delaware State Senate. We’ll start with that: 1. Jaci Hugg, […]

Is he tone-deaf, brain-dead, or both? After not doing anything to push through the passage of strong gun control bills in Delaware, Governor(?) John Carney has joined with other governors to urge the Feds to do something, anything, to address the gun epidemic. He did this without even a hint of irony. Irony that was […]

Yes, I’m aware of the significance of the date. If you have memories to share, please share them. How Trump Plans To Use Census To Undercount Immigrant Residents. By using only ‘citizens’ for the population count, not ‘residents’. One more reason why it’s essential to win the White House in 2020. Jerry Falwell Jr.’s Reign […]
