I certainly won't be buying it -- I'll be encouraging people to pirate it.

Listen at least to the inspired intro.

Speaking of wearing it well...

But, let it be known that Lena Dunham has called a truce on dissing Trump's looks. link

If she keeps her word (she was supposed to move to Canada), I shall cut her ample slack.

Wow! Just wow! As if we needed proof.

Ashley Judd recited a "Beat poem" at the Washington Women's March called "#NastyWoman." Intrigued, I looked for the original. I couldn't find the text but I did find a reading by the teenaged poet, Nina Mariah:

Where did the "Beat" label come from? Perhaps one of our beret-wearing readers can help me, daddio.

My first thought, as a codger, was:

Beatniks and politics, nothing is new

A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view

The song that went viral for The Strawberry Alarm Clock in 1967 was not sung by the drummer, but instead by 16 year-old Greg Munford, who was attending the recording session as a visitor.

Sterile Meeps

Meryl Streep said:

All of us in this room, really, belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it. Hollywood. Foreigners. And the press. ~ NYT

Really Meryl?  Because to my ear, the most vilified segment of American society right now are Trump voters. When will you learn some history, Meryl Streep?

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. ~A. Lincoln (1861)

This post was inspired by reading all the "me too" comments over at Althouse talking about flying and driving to see the total eclipse of the sun next August. I know that half of you want to forget that site exists so you can skip that.

Back to the video. I think I've just scratched the surface with my "rock bottoms for Rodham" series. I seriously wasn't looking for this one, it just spoke to me from my YouTube sidebar. There must be dozens of others.

Here's a tall order for MamaM if she's reading this. I recall reading her rather brilliant take on the difference between a narcissist and egoist and how Trump was one but not the other. I wish someone could find or link to that.

Kudos if you recognize more than a few of them. I did not.

"I'm not asking you to vote for Hillary Clinton" is repeated several times. Seriously?  You expect anyone to believe that?

The left have wasted no time in recording their first anti-Trump screeds. See Fiona Apple's "hate song" to Donald Trump. Last time around, with Reagan, it took a bit longer -- a year or two in fact. Remember Gil Scott-Heron's "B-Movie" (1981) which mentioned Reagan as Ronald Ray-Gun?

linky

Scott-Heron's lyrics are an interesting 35 year-old time capsule. Approached with an open mind, there are a few good one liners:

Nostalgia, that's what we want…: the good ol' days, when we gave' em hell. When the buck stopped somewhere and you could still buy something with it. To a time when movies were in black and white, and so was everything else. 

Full lyrics after the break.

Singer Muses On Trump's Murder

"Artist" Tim Heidecker reaches for fame plotting a murder:

Says Heidecker: 

My humor tends to skew dark, so I imagined a kamikaze style situation, where the pilot sacrifices himself for the sake of the country,” Heidecker said of the song. “I’ve performed it live a few times, and let me tell you: there’s a real cathartic satisfaction in singing the last few lines, and I always choke up a bit."

A noted anti-Semite, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame, is fanning the flames of trumped-up hatred. Playing sold out shows in Mexico City, Waters juxtaposed several images of Trump = Hitler and Trump = KKK: link

linkage

The noted opponent of Brexit just can't stay out of American politics. Waters also screen-projected a phrase which has gone viral across Mexico: Trump Eres Un Pendejo (Trump, you're an asshole).

Waters will be playing a huge concert in Indio, California next weekend. I plan to go camping down that way. I hope I run into the little British twit.

According to exit polls in South Carolina … 1/5 of Trump voters believe Lincoln was wrong to emancipate slaves.

Edward Luce writing for Financial Times, behind a paywall, so the damage he does cannot be that great, but free through Google because who wants to deny that traffic? On the other hand journalists like Edward Luce must be paid.

He says first, don't take his word for it, so I won't. Listen to Trump supporters so I will. But not through the poll that he offers as evidence. I don't know what went on and I don't care. I cannot imagine such a question appearing on poll and if it is a poll question that say more about the pollsters than it does of their subjects. The ling goes to NYT Lynn Vavreck discussing how racist Trump supporters are, and I'd have to read it to tell you what's in it and better judgement directs me elsewhere. I can tell you this, there is no way that even 1/100 of any American population believes what these people are saying they believe.

All the negative crap that I've read regarding Trump supporters has come from antiTrumpites and not from Trump supporters. Voters were messing with you for even asking such stupid questions. The writers and poll reporters are telling us what they believe not what their subjects of inspection believe. This is ridiculous.

They're trying very hard, too hard to depict Trump supporters "responsive to religious, social and racial intolerance." Conflating border protection with racial intolerance again. Silly journalist, your terms are rejected and so are your reports.

One thing is true though, not just Trump supporters, not just Republican base, many of us, but not all, have become much less civil and that' why I'll feel free to tell Edward Luce and Lynn Vavreck they're both full of  shit.
