My wife Irene and I travelled to bluegrass festivals for twenty years, writing blog, now I write about politics, music, books, streaming video, or what I want.

@NicolleDWallace Has it ever occurred to anyone that Trump is severely learning disabled? His behavior can much more easily be understood when seen through this lens.....

@Morning_Joe By emphasizing #race in Tennessee vote last night, you leave untouched the dominanation by #BabyBoomers & #Genexers their desperate desire maintain control as long as possible. A reason for Ms. Johnson to be kept. You disregard age as a factor.

Just listened to this podcast by @SykesCharlie with his guest @JeffSharlet, who's written a book after years of reporting from the far right. Apocalyptic view signals the end of America as we (many of us) know and love it. thebulwark.com/podcast-episo…
Wondering if #TikTok really is a danger, or is it simply a convenient way to express ongoing cultural/political concerns:

I've posted my review of "Steve Jobs" by @WalterIsaacson. This lively, readable, and comprehensive view is well worth your time if you're interested in computers or their influence on the world.

@Morning_Joe Cheap shot at a man who doesn't really deserve better, BUT #RonDiSantis doesn't deserve the shots thrown at his arm. Pretty good for a middle aged man. Not a criterion for Prez....

Great rendition as @DarinandBrookeA join @vincegill00168 singing Vince's wonderful song "Go Rest High on the Mountain," his song written on the death of his brother. Give it a listen:

Sad, as I watch humane and worthwhile employment, especially among skilled workers and those doing the menial jobs we need to have accomplished, is becoming less able to support people.

Give this piece from the @nytimes for some ideas about why reading is dying. Spoiler: Don’t blame devices….. nytimes.com/2023/03/09/opini…

Just a thought about what makes us worthy of a healthy Uncle Sam. "Give me your tired, your poor...."

Converting office spaces to residential units across a broad range of incomes makes huge sense as increasingly people are working from home. Give this one a read! washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
via @NYTimes comes this article re @Michael7032’s new release as well as lots of great information for those of you who don’t know his story. Read the article and play the song. nytimes.com/2023/02/28/arts/…

I’ve posted a review of @brothersgibson new recording “Darkest Hour,” filled with new material. Produced by @JerryDouglas with well chosen guests. Read my review and then get the CD.

As usual, @DavidAFrench allows the courage of a former #FoxNews voice to tell the truth about a news network that’s afraid to tell the truth to its viewers. No longer a news organization, just a partisan panderer. Via NYT nytimes.com/2023/02/26/opini…

@JoeNBC: this AM’s coverage of the Ohio rail disaster ignored these big issues while focusing on human interest. Keep your eye on the ball! Institutional issues at base of most of our problems. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Hope much American history do Americans know? Not much, according to Republican pollster @FrankLuntz. Here’s a map of where people are best informed.

@karaswisher You know that people left right wing social media lie in people’s no longer believing the lies @Trump was peddling. Why not confront him with truth rather than your assertions? He’s just pushing conspiracy theories. Still love your shows!

@PhilRosenthal Your show on Nashville was, perhaps, the most heart warming example of you, your family and friends interacting over good food and fun in the series. Enjoyed it last night and watched it again with spouse this AM. Thanks for your good heart and love of the other.

@Morning_Joe Last night’s “Super Bowl” was the worst ever. We watched our first one in five or ten years, only because the Eagles were playing. What we saw was a huge #Fox promo, over-the-top patriotism, a bad field, interfering officials, and uninteresting ads. Soccer Forever!
