Just so I'm clear: Patriot Act is totes cool (replete with the broadened powers of the NSA as revealed by Snowden). But DON'T MESS WITH OUR IPHONES!!!

Quick thoughts: 1) Some people are claiming Scalia was murdered because his body was found with a pillow on his head. I put a pillow over my head all the time in hotel rooms to block both light and noise when napping. The guy was 79 years old, a lifelong smoker, and overweight. But it had to be murder. THANKS OBAMA! 2) That OK GO video is cool but I had to watch it with the sound off. The song itself is fucking terrible. Such a waste of a good video on an awful, awful song. 3) I sometimes wish I had studied computer science. I'm trying to figure out a way to do it on my own. 4) Have you seen Johnny Depp as Trump yet in that Funny or Die movie? It's amazing. 5) 'One For The Vine' is one of the most incredible Tony Banks compositions ever. How did he come up with that? And finally 6) The worst part about the stomach flu is not wanting to eat anything ever again.

Heading to Detroit (Farmington Hills) to play a private country club gig with Lawrence Barris. Since my van is in the shop, I'll be bringing the 'small' rig to fit into the Scion xB. Hammond SK2, Leslie 21 System, bass pedals, etc. :)

"It’s quite easy to reflexively dismiss this as just idealistic students being idealistic students. However, I think there is something far more important at play in the overwhelming enthusiasm now being shown amongst those who may have just voted in their first general election, and those who are going to in four years’ time. And that something is the fact that young people are fucked."
The game has been rigged since 1980. Ok, it was always rigged but the rigging became blatant and unapologetic and propagandized as good for us starting in 1980. And we're tired of it. I'm no longer "young", but I've seen the writing on the wall since 2003; the current model is not only grossly unfair (not that unfairness in and of itself is deserved but what I'm talking about is a purposeful manipulation of how the system should work to benefit only a fraction of a tiny slice) but also completely unsustainable. It cannot be allowed to proceed unfettered any longer.
So yes, dismiss the #feelthebern hashtags as youthful idealism if you want, but the tide is turning. -
The inspiration for "Hand In Hand" from Phil's first solo album Face Value is evident in this cut.

Good stuff.

Jim: What are these posts that just have your name on them? Many seem to respond to posts I don't see. To what does "Good stuff" refer?

My Facebook status updates are linked to my organissimo profile. Do they show up in the feed as a post or something?
-
Yes. Or at least I think that's what's happening.
