The same thing is happening in the blues world, even quicker, since a lot of those guys are older. I just ran across this video from Friday night at The Joint. Ronnie Earl & the Broadcasters. Lousy video, but the audio’s decent.
Ronnie Earl is one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time, but he’s getting on in years. He was barely able to walk during their set, and played most of it sitting down:
That’s a pretty incomplete list, nobody from Jefferson Airplane is on it. Nevertheless, for me it will be Keef. But he’s immortal, so I’m not worried.
I caught part of Chris Cain’s set Thursday night, and Ronnie Earl called him up on stage Friday, as well:
I think it’s a mistake to cancel primaries/caucuses. Yes it’ll save some money for the general election and it is kind of traditional to automatically nominate a sitting president, but I think he’d win the nomination. Of course who knows how many kook Democrats would register and support a worse candidate.
Samantha Fish wasn’t at this year’s Big Blues Bender, but she did release another song off the new album on Friday:
Aussie Infidel is OVERJOYED with the Ashes outcome.

OK…OK CW.
I know that the 5th Test is just going through the motions in what is a dead rubber. BUT Smith can really get in some batting practice as can the Aussie bowlers!

Meet one of our intellectual betters, who is telling hard truths about ‘climate change’
Finally, overwhelming numbers of human beings, including millions of government-hating Americans, need to accept high taxes and severe curtailment of their familiar life styles without revolting. They must accept the reality of climate change and have faith in the extreme measures taken to combat it. They can’t dismiss news they dislike as fake. They have to set aside nationalism and class and racial resentments. They have to make sacrifices for distant threatened nations and distant future generations. They have to be permanently terrified by hotter summers and more frequent natural disasters, rather than just getting used to them. Every day, instead of thinking about breakfast, they have to think about death.
You may not have heard of Jonathan Franzen before, he’s an ‘author’ who Oprah really likes. He makes a lot of money spewing bilge.
The climate apocalypse is coming. To prepare for it, we need to admit that we can’t prevent it.

In Santa Cruz, where I live, there’s an organization called the Homeless Garden Project. On a small working farm at the west end of town, it offers employment, training, support, and a sense of community to members of the city’s homeless population.
There may come a time, sooner than any of us likes to think, when the systems of industrial agriculture and global trade break down and homeless people outnumber people with homes. At that point, traditional local farming and strong communities will no longer just be liberal buzzwords. A project like the Homeless Garden offers me the hope that the future, while undoubtedly worse than the present, might also, in some ways, be better. Most of all, though, it gives me hope for today.
Franzen is obviously a true believer who hasn’t taken a hard STEM course in his whole progressive life. Certainly not statistics. His wild imaginings would see himself eating kale and strawberries from his co-operative as commercial farming that feeds millions dies. To that bit of Progressive whimsy might I respond POPULATION! Local co-op gardens are not going to feed Franzen or his hoard of unemployable drug addled ‘zombies’. Likely these denizens of Franzen’s Brave New World will …. ‘have Franzen for dinner’ …. and fight over his ‘best bits’.
The delusion is strong with this one.

He’s really has a deformed character, probably because he can’t have children and threw his hand in with the One World-Era when they poached him whilst he was reading his Doctorate of Laws at Cambridge.
He actually never had a real job. School to University(s) to politics to backbencher to Cabinet Minister to …. well nothing really. Just a few ‘jobs for the elite’ on various ‘Boards’ that keep him in spending ca$h. Wifey is a Maori radical activist and also a lawyer sucking on the teat of the State with the Treaty of Waiting Land Court, settling Maori Land claims and various ‘legal extortion’ schemes to keep the cash flowing from the public purse into the pocket of the lawyers and elites of Maoridom.

The connection I don’t get is why these mines are going under. I understand that fracking and natural gas have made an impact, but we’re still making steel.

so does this mean he gets half her stuff?

who? Todd Palin? He makes a pretty good living on his own, I think.

Natgas is beating coal in the market right now.
@ eaglesoars:
The coke needed to make steel is nowhere near the amount formerly used for power generation.
@ eaglesoars:
the article said she was worth about 12 mil and he was worth 2 mil
so does he get half?
do they combine for 14 and split for 7 Mil each?
Sidney Powell, Flynn’s lawyer, has just told the House Select Committee on Intelligence to go fuck themselves.
Because your position is so unreasonable and unethical, we are copying Chairman Schiff and Ranking Member Nunes. Perhaps the Committee will decide to exercise better judgment
.

As far as testimony is concerned, we have already informed you that
at our insistence, Mr. Flynn will assert his Fifth Amendment privilege and will not answer any questions.

It is, at best, unseemly and unethical to compel any citizen

let alone one who hasserved our country with such distinction for so long

to go through a meaningless exercise only to cause expense and embarrassment, with exactly zero legitimate gain for the Committe

One America News Network Sues MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow For $10 Million
OANN is suing Maddow, MSNBC, Comcast Corporation and NBC Universal for defamation, alleging Maddow “maliciously and recklessly” went after the network by suggesting it is a Russian state propaganda outlet, the complaint reads, according to Law and Crime. Maddow said that OANN “really, literally is Russian propaganda” on “The Rachel Maddow Show” in July.
This should be fun!

It seems that the (so called conservative) NZ Leader of the Opposition Simon Bridges has been a naughty boy on a trip to China.
Bridges, with Brownlee his fellow opposition spokesman on the Security Services (NZSIS and NZ GCSB (SigInt)) and his NZ opposition backbencher Dr. Yang Jian (who is a known ‘? former ?’ CCP member and lecturer at the Chinese security services university) met with Chinese Politburo Justice Minister and Politburo Standing Committee leader for the Ministry of State Security (China’s Spy Agency.
Why Bridges and his crew would meet with China’s Spy Chief and WHY would Bridges and Brownlee take Dr. Yang Jian with them when is highly suspect of being a MSS plant within the NZ National Party. The NZ Labour Party Government also has a Chinese backbencher suspected of being a ‘sleeper agent for the MSS within the NZ Parliament and the Arden government.
Is Bridgers that stupid or is just sucking up to Beijing with the hope of scoring some more Chinese $$$$ to support next year’s election budget for the National Party?

The All Blacks vs Tonga before the ABs got onto the plane to head to Japan for the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
Glad to see that Bern Smith has found his match winning mojo again. Why the coach ever moved Smith away from his beloved Full Back position is a mystery. He is however back where he belongs and appears as dangerous as ever on attack and is safe as houses under the high ball.
🙂
The ABs will again be the team to beat!
Enjoy folks
This is the sort of destruction that the All Blacks are capable of when they get on a roll. It’s like attempting to hold back a black tsunami. Just when you think there can’t be anymore another wave of Black crushes you . This is relentless magic Rugby Union!

I keep quoting Keef, and I paraphrase him.
“I could go on about what I really think of peace activists but I’ll keep it short by paraphrasing Keith Richards: I don’t have a problem with shooting peace activists, I only have a problem with the police.”

Today was the Flynn status hearing where Sullivan heard both sides about the DOJ’s violation of Brady (withholding exculpatory evidence).

Terrance Williams is on a rant on twitter. Shootings in Chicago this weekend: 6 dead, 28 injured.
Not one news report.
somehow the reporting I saw didn’t cover this
According to today’s hearing:
The DOJ/FBI wrote internal memos in early 2017 that
@GenFlynn
was not a Russian agent nor violated Logan Act
These were omitted from the Mueller Report
We were never supposed to know
