Danny Kirwan

Danny Kirwan, who was in Fleetwood Mac from 1968-1972, died on June 8, 2018.

When their leader, Peter Green, left, Fleetwood Mac regrouped with Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer as songwriters and lead vocalists.  This incarnation of Fleetwood Mac made one album, 1970’s excellent Kiln House.   It’s very different from their prior blues-based albums or their later hits with Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

I have attached links to three songs from the album.  “Earl Gray” is an instrumental written by Kirwan who also is the lead singer on his composition “Tell Me All the Things You Do”.  Kirwan is lead singer and co-author of “Station Man”

I saw Fleetwood Mac in late 1971 with a very different lineup.  Spencer was gone and Christine McVie and Bob Welch had joined the band.  They sounded nothing like the Kiln House band and didn’t play much from that album.

70% of voters think Trump shouldn’t fire Mueller

66% of Republicans believe Trump’s lie that there were spies in his campaign.  There are no facts to support it and prominent congressional Republicans have said it’s not true.  The Republican voters believe Trump.

The truth is not close to Trump’s lies and nonsense.

This has a chart:

Science is unwelcome in the Trump administration

Trump is meeting with North Korea without an adviser who is an expert on nuclear physics.

The article linked to in the tweet notes: “Mr. Trump is the first president since 1941 not to name a science adviser, a position created during World War II to guide the Oval Office on technical matters ranging from nuclear warfare to global pandemics.”

Remember, he thinks climate change is a Chinese hoax.  Not listening to scientists will affect public health and safety.

Sad!

Trump blames Obama for Putin’s invasion of Crimea!

It’s unreal how much Trump sucks up to Putin.

Russia, not the US, invaded Crimea.  Blame Putin, not Obama!

 

 

 

Trump quote in this article:

“You’ll have to ask Obama, because he was the one that let Crimea get away” he said when asked about the annexation. “He allowed Russia to take Crimea. I may have had a much different attitude.”

 

Trump’s temper tantrum

Here’s Paul Krugman’s opinion of the G7 and some of his tweets from earlier today. He wrote about Trump: ” He didn’t put America first; Russia first would be a better description. And he didn’t demand drastic policy changes from our allies; he demanded that they stop doing bad things they aren’t doing. This wasn’t a tough stance on behalf of American interests, it was a declaration of ignorance and policy insanity.”
