Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

1970

The addition of Neil Young to CS&N only added another layer of songwriting and guitar playing prowess in this absolutely must-have album for any music collection from the early 70s Woodstock era. A uniquely American sound, no British influence here. It stands alone as a classic.

Includes "Teach Your Children," "Almost Cut My Hair," "Helpless," "Woodstock," and "Our House".

With all the talk about tariffs and trade imbalances

Orange Shit Head makes such a big deal about China

Yet a lot of the Trump crap he sells, especially those stupid MAGA hats

Are all made in China!

How does his base justify this???

Has anyone seen "The Shape of Water" and what did you think of it?

I've read on line that it was a direct ripoff of some older Hollywood movies.

But I would be interested to hear what DUers thought of it!

Heartland

Michael Stanley Band

1980

Pride of Ohio! MSB offers up pure rock n roll and on this one, including two classic Stanley songs embellished by Clarence Clemons' saxophone, "Lover" and "He Can't Love You" (the latter one you can't sit still to, I bet!)

De-funding Planned Parenthood

"Reproductive health groups say they’re concerned about the Trump administration’s approach to family planning funds, which prioritizes groups that favor abstinence, and its embrace of ideology over evidence-based policies.

The HHS document causing concern among doctors and reproductive health groups mentions “natural family planning” like the rhythm method and other tactics for preventing pregnancy that do not involve contraceptives, according to the Associated Press, as well as other forms of “natural family planning” that don’t include contraceptives. A Planned Parenthood spokesperson told AP that it appears as if the Trump administration is trying to lessen its role in the program through this document emphasizing family planning without contraceptives.

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have been focused on defunding Planned Parenthood and appointing people to roles in the Department of Health and Human Services who don’t believe in birth control or abortion access."

********** What makes my blood boil, is that I wonder how many women Trump screwed in his life ..... women who he probably insisted use birth control. And I even wonder if he paid for an abortion or two.

Now he stand there all pious looking like he's been this big pro-birth advocate all his life, pandering to his nutty base. It's sickening. And I'll bet any money Pence has had a hand in this.

Post it! The craziest wing nut thing you've heard one of them say!

I'll start.

"If we had more God and prayer in schools, we'd have a lot fewer school shootings."

I can't stand

Seeing him referred to in print as "The President".

I can't stand seeing him getting into Air Force One.

I can't stand seeing him standing there at a podium with the Presidential Seal on it.

He makes a mockery and a sham of the highest office in the land. He is an ignorant clown,. a fake, a national disgrace. He does not belong there any more than a dodo bird does.

Searchin For a Rainbow

The Marshall Tucker Band

1975

Put together some not quite country, some elements of blues, and some great guitar playing with some free wheelin' jammin' and you've got the MTB. A really nice feel-good sound all around!

You can't beat this live version of "Can't You See", no wonder they saved it "best for last"! Love Toy Caldwell's 'whiskey and cigarettes" voice on this one plus the great instrumental jamming. A classic.
