Closed Due to the Vulgar Talking Yam

No, I didn't forget to post yesterday -- I wanted to leave up Monday's fund-raiser for my pal's Velvet Underground movie for an extra 24 hours.

Today, however, I am just disgusted with my fellow countrymen and I'm taking a day off.


Regular -- apolitical and peppy -- posting resumes on the morrow.

Something is happening here. But you don't know what it is. Do you, Mister Jones?

I know exactly what's happening here, I just don't think this is the appropriate forum where to argue it.

Maybe The Smoking Man is correct about humanity.

VR...you probably know this, but Steve comments a lot about political matters at:

http://www.eschatonblog.com/

...where disgust with our fellow countrymen is discussed full-throatedly. Probably the best political blog going, definitely one of the OGs.

I think he wants to keep the music here and the politics elsewhere. Although I'm in agreement with what you quoted–Dylan's words never rang truer than they do right now.

Anna -- I am acutely aware that the name of this blog is PowerPop, not Pissed Off Leftie.

That said -- and I've been rather becomingly laissez-faire about moderating comments here, I think -- it is sorta my blog, so I may do the occasional Trump (or whoever) joke as the year progresses.

The rest of you guys -- we'll see.

heh. That's funnier than the "slutty girl" (or whatever that was) nym you sometimes go by.

Steve–sorry, certainly no offense meant to you. I was just telling VR that you're a regular at Baby Blue, and that political comments might be more welcome there than here.

Anna -- totally understood.

It wasn't a political comment, really. The only politics I care about are those of the Pete Brown variety.

The rest I find mildly amusing. Though I quickly tire of all the partisan bickering, whining, diatribes and self-delusion.

I'd rather be the tramp sitting in the midday sun.
