OK, I admit it. Verdict on this week: Good theme, poorly executed. Shoulda asked Waterpirate to program it. Hope he likes this one:

Let’s get back on track. No more appeasing the youngsters. What she’s asking for is not unreasonable in the least:

In a blatant and desperate attempt to expand my demographic appeal, I present a ‘women with attitude’ song for you youngsters out there:

One of the earliest feminist anthems, written by two guys from Philly. Produced by some guy named Quincy Jones. Lesley Gore became a legitimate heroine to the LGBT community: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/feb/17/lesley-gore She also appeared as one of Catwoman’s Felines-In-Crime on Batman.

Chris Johnson Blasts Delaware’s Civil Forfeiture Law…
…and calls for specific reforms. I’ve written about this issue in the past. As enforced in Delaware, it’s legalized thievery by the police from those least able to defend themselves. The legislation was sold as a means of keeping drug kingpins from enjoying the spoils of their filthy lucre. I suppose you could make the […]

Buddy Guy does serious justice to this John Hiatt song. And, oh, yeah, Bonnie Raitt tears it up as well. Best slide player in the world?:

1. It’s Carper-Harris For Real. Any lingering questions as to whether Carberbot would go to the post this year were answered as Shufflin’ Tom filed this week. A nominal Democrat, Carper will once again be carrying the banner for, and filthy lucre from, big banks, big pharma, the insurance industry, and all the other Third […]

There was a time in the late ’70’s to mid-eighties when, IMHO, the Neville Brothers were the best band in America. Here, they bring their Caribbean lilt to John Hiatt’s ‘Washable Ink’:
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: May 10, 2018
Well, I sure didn’t see the Equal Rights Amendment imploding on the Senate floor, but that’s what happened. What started as a simple basic statement of equality–“”Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of the sex of the person”–got mired in a bunch of Rethug-pushed talking points.
