nan wood graham and dr bryon mckeeby pictured with 'american gothic'

Pictured in 1942. Nan Wood Graham was Grant Wood's (the painter) sister, and Dr McKeeby was their dentist. However, all of that is irrelevant to the bigger issue at hand.  What has he got on his socks????

Here's the actual painting.

ice arrest jesus poster

 Whoever did this - Well played.  More please.

A reminder that ICE have just been given $170 billion to lock people up at Donald Trump's behest, which is more than the entire budget for the USA Marines (£150 billion). And they fight actual wars and have to train troops (and house them and their families). I've said it before, but these will be Trump's stormtroopers in the future.

nigel farage talking crap (again) - the two child benefit cap

 Some excellent reporting here by the Byline Times, once again exposing how full of crap Nigel Farage is. Not for the first time, and it certainly won't be the last.  What a fucking rotter.

my parrot drawn on acid

 I think someone's sneaked into my house, found my stash of acid, and drawn my parrot.  Investigation is underway.

 After seeing this picture, l can't look at my parrot in the same way, knowing he's got a little ET body.

living in a duck house

I could easily live in a house like this. Not because it's a duck shape, it's because it's got no windows and is detached. My records would be blasting out.

beatles crockery collection found

Fancy sorting out a dead relatives house and finding this. In pristine condition. However, much as l love The Beatles, l'd get this flogged straight away, as nothing about it makes me want to keep it.  As a hoarder and Beatles fan, that's saying something, but everyone has to draw the line somewhere.

wendy erskine's the benefactors

I'll put up another list of recent books l've read soon, but there's special praise for this one. Wendy Erskine's 'The Benefactors', which was superb, and one of the best books l've read for a while. It makes you reconsider your own views, and when finished, made me want to read it again as l would understand more about the characters the second time around.  An outstanding debut, and l will be looking out for more from her in the future. Money that was very well spent (for a change).

ok - not all of trumps ideas come from the nazis.

Ok, OK - I stand corrected and will admit when l am wrong.  Not all of Donald Trump's ideas / playbook / slogans come from the Nazis. I was foolish and didn't check properly, but am happy to rectify my mistake. Here's the one that's not from the Nazis that l overlooked.  A schoolboy error on my part and it won't happen again. I'll spank my own bottom later.

johnny thunders by bob gruen

Now l love The New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders, and this is how rock stars should look - ridiculous and other worldly, and not looking like 'normal' members of society. They live the rock and roll lifestyle outside of the law and with very few rules that others would love to live, but are unable to (or wouldn't want to). I've had a fair crack of it in my own way, but living like it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week takes (funnily enough) a lot of commitment and hard work.  No wonder so many of them turn to drugs.

trump for the nobel priza (not hitler)

Donald Trump desperate to win the Nobel Peace Prize and being put forward by his spineless spitlickles and gutless world leaders (and war criminals).  Hmmm....What does that remind me of? Also remember, If you're ever curious about the Trump camps playbook and strategies, look to the Nazi's.

more trump madness part 3656365

As stated many times, the man just talks crap. Remember when (if) there is another American election - politicians are not all the same, and if Kamala Harris had won, she wouldn't be starting a dictatorship with ICE as her henchmen.

one in - one back and brexit benefits

One in and one back with the small boats crossings is a start, and at least we are now working in conjunction with the French. However, l didn't see much coverage around what has been well known for anyone who is not blinkered by the so called benefits of Brexit, President Macron in his speech confirms the crossings increased after Brexit. The usual right wing rags were very silent on that statement.

U2 - London Wembley Stadium 12th June 1987 (The Joshua Tree Tour)

Flitting around the internet, l stumbled upon this. I'm not sure, but this may be one of my recordings from when l was a bootlegger back in the day. I sold all of my tapes to an American years ago but made some copies for myself of the better ones (or favourite concerts). I'll have to check if l saved this. However, my Birmingham recording on June 3rd from the same tour was the best of the lot, and sounded like a normal well recorded live album (in stereo). I even impressed myself with it.

Here's the advert for Wembley.

£7.4 million for a handbag yet people are starving

This - All day long. There's plenty of money knocking about, but the majority of it is in the hands of the few.  This is why we need a decent form of Socialism and empathy and equality for people worse off than ourselves. As for Capitalism, Austerity, Populism, Division through hatred, plus Trickle Down Economics, they can all fuck off.  I've no problem with some people making a bit more money if they want to work harder and put extra hours in, but we need plumbers and electricians (as well as lots of so called 'menial jobs') as much as (and if not more) than we need bankers and CEOs. As for shareholders taking the piss in privatised companies - don't get me started.
