@profregwhelk.bsky.social As seen in an episode of ‘Toast of London’: is Sheryl any relation to your branch of the Whelk family? 😉

Count me in as being a new owner soon! I have a copy of Grab Your Ticket and Your Suitcase in addition to knowing when the live debut of “Land of Hope and Dreams” occurred(March 18, 1999 in Asbury Park). The River tour was quite a journey in Europe during the Spring(steen!) of 1981. 🇺🇸🌊💿🧑🏻‍🦱🎸🧑🏾‍🦱🎷✈️🇩🇪🌍🇬🇧🏟️✍️📖😎

Imagine how much money we’ve wasted. Imagine how much could have gone into the NHS, public services, tackling poverty… Will anyone be held responsible though? For the lies that were told, the false promises made? Perhaps a brexit tax on all the corporations that cashed in? I’M SO CROSS!

I’m not even going to publish a copy of Trumps comments about Reiner and his wife. But occasionally he reminds me that he is simply one of the worst, most degenerate individuals who has ever existed in American public life. Hard to think of any more vicious, vile and sociopathic.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss. More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now. newrepublic.com/article/2016...

As you start to arrive in Manchester from points far away, you may hear other fans say they have spare tickets. If they cannot sell them please let them know they can always send them to me. I know have more than 15 people on a waiting list.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.
