They need to hold the leaders responsible too.

The first single from The Complete Dirty South is “Puttin’ People on the Moon”, with a new, improved vocal, mix and mastering. It’s a song that is unfortunately even more timely now than it was in 2004 and the new version is absolutely definitive. – PHhttps://t.co/IRpLdZ1uLh pic.twitter.com/bCGdUy0AoT

The white nationalists fear this

My view on why the white nationalist Trump cult is so afraid on America’s eventual future when minorities are the majority:

They’re afraid that the minorities, when they’re in charge, will treat them as badly as they treat minorities today.

More polls show that cult leader Trump runs the GOP

A new poll showing the effect of Trump's indictment on 400 Republican voters. The findings show what we have known to be true for awhile now, that the indictment of Donald Trump greatly increases his support within the MAGA GOP, and secures him the 2024 Republican nomination. pic.twitter.com/eTUMoCwC90

Covers: Let’s Burn Down the Cornfield

“Let’s Burn Down the Cornfield is a Randy Newman song released in 1970. I am posting about it because of the blog post below saying that Bob Dylan likes it.

Phoenix Municipal Stadium has light standards from the Polo Grounds

I have been to both places – the Polo Grounds in 1962 and 1963 and Phoenix Municipal Stadium in 1989.

Covers: Slippin’ and Slidin’

I wasn’t aware of the video of John Lennon’s cover of Little Richard’s Slippin’ and Slidin’ until yesterday.

I saw a Bruce Springsteen concert for free in 1973

I got to see Springsteen for free on 9/8/73. See the description below. He only had one album out and Pitt had him on a bill in a nearby park. The set was short – maybe 30-40 minutes. I remember that Buzzy Linhart played but didn’t recall the other act.

Here are two descriptions with a setlist.
