Booze, news and views from a drunken opinionated fool who can't spell very well, may well repeat himself, and can't blame it on dislexia

the white house shooter and the media
This. Most of the sycophantic media are too busy brown nosing to Trump and trying to maintain their press access rather than hold the child rapist and his cronies to account and back up colleagues that do ask pertinent questions or who are verbally abused or mocked by Trump, which just enables him more. Meanwhile the men who shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti are still being funded by taxpayers and are still at large. The president has bathed himself in violence and hatred and this is part of the consequences. Journalists - DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS!!!!
Meanwhile, in unrelated news....

the new talking heads video looks a bit crap - plus maga fashion
Speaker Mike Johnson trying to replicate Talking Head's 'Once in a Lifetime' video.
the 1970 pop proms line up
A lot of these acts wouldn't be classed as 'pop' in any way shape or form these days. However, I know what nights l'd have liked to have gone to. Tuesday, followed by Friday. Wheat amongst some chaff.

tha waterboys keep taking my money - 'atlantic rain' - more fisherman's blues outtakes
The Waterboys 'Fisherman's Blues' era. What a time to be alive-o, and what a great band they were at that time, possibly the best band in the world to my raddled old ears. Anyhoos, they are just about to release a 3LP set of outtakes from those sessions, plus an extra EP of outtakes, which of course l have just pre ordered. This is to go alongside the items l already have such as the original album, The Fisherman's Blues boxset, plus 'The Magnificent Seven' boxset (plus many bootlegs). When will this madness end? However, the (looks like) AI cover art is crap.
Here's part of what l already have. Another 12 CDs of sessions.

tucker carlson - the rat leaving a sinking ship
Tucker can fuck right off. He's not a stupid man and did what he did for fame and money, and now as it hopefully starts to fall apart, he wants to distance himself from his Trump backing, which l bet he wouldn't be doing if he thought Trump was going to continue for the next few years in a strong position. CJ Sturgis sums it up below.
