Covers: You Can’t Always Get What You Want
The great 1969 Rolling Stones song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” was the B-side of the “Honky Tonk Women” single before it was the last track on the album Let It Bleed.

John Bobbitt is back in the news
Anyone who was around in 1993 remembers the Bobbitts. See the YouTube video below if you don’t know this incredibly bizarre story. Now John Bobbit is back.
The best Bobbitt joke I remember was:
Q: What did Jeffrey Dahmer say to Lorena Bobbitt?

I remember watching CNN during a week when President Clinton was attending an economic summit in Europe. CNN led the broadcast with a routine day in the Bobbitt trial instead of the much more important summit. I thought “What does the rest of the world think of our priorities?”

He was bad for Baltimore when he was governor. He’s not a moderate. He’s a traditional GOP conservative, not a MAGA cult member
Fox is more partisan than MSNBC

Baltimore Fish Market with 1970s photos
The Baltimore Fish Market was located on Market Place. The market moved to Jessup, MD. The building is occupied by Port Discovery. As I recall, it was primarily a wholesale market and was open from something like 6 am to 3 pm. I took some black-and-white photos in the 1970s.
