College admission diversity is down due to the Republican Supreme Court majority

Just another example of the Republican justices overturning long-settled precedents with Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard

The Dylan and the Band 1974 set has been released – 9/20/24

The 27-disc Bob Dylan and the Band set was released today. I look forward to getting my copy.

I saw the January 6th afternoon show in Philadelphia and thought it was great. Dylan and the Band have disparaged the tour.

There are electric versions of songs like “Lay Lady Lay”, “It Ain’t Me Babe and “Blowin’ in the Wind”. I think what Dylan was telling us is that the songs are Dylan songs, not country songs or folk songs. As we have seen in the 50 years since then, they sound like whatever Dylan wants them to sound like at the time he performs them.

I am disappointed that the Band sets aren’t included. I saw the Band four times between 1970-1974 and this was their second-best performance (after 1970). Unfortunately, some in the audience kept shouting for Dylan whenever the Band was on without him. The Band played “Long Black Veil” which they rarely did when I saw them and I wish this had been released. I’m alright without another version of “The Weight” and “Stage Fright”.

As I recall, the Band used two drummers on a few songs when they backed Dylan.

Trump sticks with Robinson

They’re very similar guys -despicable

Red states purging voter rolls to help Trump

Republicans are trying to alter the Nebraska electoral vote process

This is terrible. It is very possible that, just like in 2000 and 2016, the Democrat will win the popular vote and the Republican will win the electoral college.

Trump’s appalling antisemitism

Trump has revealed over and over that he is antisemitic. I can’t understand why any Jew would vote for him.

Now he says it will be our fault if he loses – what will his cult do? I expect threats and possibly violence.
