Happy birthday, John Entwistle, the Ox. If the question is who is my favorite bassist, it’s this guy. The man could move nothing but his fingers on stage and create seismic shifts on the Earth beneath him.

Tr*mp is an ass. San Diego isn’t going anywhere except to the polls.

I want to congratulate Charlie Kirk for going an entire year without saying something inane and racist, or insulting and sexist.

Happy Admissions Day, California. Let's celebrate with chips and guacamole, a rousing version of "California Uber Alles," and calling for Tr*mp's resignation.

Why is the flag on both sleeves, and since when did we feed our troops 9,000 calories per sitting? Our president lies again. Shocking.

Rest in Peace, Tim Curry. Really starting to hate 2026.

We can drive ourselves crazy trying to keep up. Springsteen has a dozen I need to buy, Costello has around 15. I try, but a guy has to eat.🤣

It’s very much out of my typical listening zone. I’ve got 23 other EC albums, so it probably ranks 24.🤣🤣🤣 Hey Clockface from 2020 is very solid.

All three were inspired and I still listen to them to this day.

Happy Birthday to the King, Elvis Costello. I've always been a sucker for "Shot With His Own Gun," but I think my favorite Costello tune of all time is "Girls Talk." What's yours?

Happy birthday, Joe Strummer. The world didn't want to listen, but you spoke your mind anyway.

Happy birthday, Doug Fieger. Fifteen year-old me knew every word on “Get the Knack.” “She’s your adolescent dream, school boy stuff, sticky sweet romance…”

Happy birthday Maria McKee. There was a time when a gorgeous woman with a huge, awesome voice, and more energy than San Onofre was was let loose on stages around the world. It was a thing to behold.

But the rightfully elected president can serve from anywhere, not just the White House. Call in the Capital Police to remove him, on his feet, or in chains. Smoke grenades would do the job.
