Song of the Day 2/17: Hall & Oates, “It’s Uncanny”
Not long ago I heard something I didn’t think was possible — a song by Daryl Hall and John Oates I didn’t know. And I don’t mean some 21st-century recording (I’m sure I’ve missed some of those) but a tune from their early years on Atlantic Records. After the duo’s third LP, “War Babies,” flopped […]

Latest Hunter Biden OUTRAGE!! When will the corruption END??!!
It is now impossible to see how Hunter Biden avoids doing hard time in Gitmo’ over these HUGE payoffs from the Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Wait, what..? It was Jared & Trump. Oh never mind.
Former US president Donald Trump and his former senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner are still receiving financial benefits after fostering a close relationship with Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) during their time in office, the Washington Post reported this week.
This murky relationship with the Saudis puts Trump’s integrity into question as the 2024 US presidential election approaches.
The Saudis provided both Trump and Kushner with sizable investments after their term, during which they bolstered MBS’s grip on the country by arranging that Trump’s first presidential trip be to Saudi Arabia, meeting with him in the US, and siding with him in several controversies.
Song of the Day 2/16: The Kinks, “Lola”
We all know Twitter has been experiencing lots of problems since boy genius Elon Musk bought it, but this one is more funny than ominous — though not to Dave Davies. It seems an over-reliance on algorithms in lieu of humans has led the site to flag all the band’s tweets as “sensitive content.” As […]

‘Wicked Wisdom’. What if DeSantis Knows What He’s Doing? Brandon Wolf, who was catapulted into activism in Florida after surviving the Orlando Pulse nightclub massacre in 2016, told me that effective coalitions are emerging to oppose DeSantis, but he acknowledged how formidable an opponent the governor is: “DeSantis’s strategy tries to pull us apart,” he […]

Song of the Day 2/15: De La Soul, “Eye Know”
Unless you were a rap fan back in the golden days of the genre, before copyright laws reined in free-for-all sampling and the creativity it inspired, you probably don’t know De La Soul, so you might not have noticed the death Sunday of David Jolicoeur, aka Trugoy the Dove, aka Plug Two. He was only […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday February 15 2023
It’s the ides of Feb. And I have to sadly admit that I let my Highlands Bunker listening lapse while took all the football talk into my earholes. (FTR, the sports talk all boils down to “nobody knows nothing” so that was a bloody waste of time.). Anyway, which of these should be prioritized above […]

Song of the Day 2/14: The Troggs, “Love Is All Around”
The Troggs didn’t quite fit into the second wave of the British Invasion. Their version of Chip Taylor’s “Wild Thing” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966, but the band never invaded — they didn’t tour the US until 1968. “Wild Thing” was made even more famous in 1967, when Jimi Hendrix […]
