September 12, 2025Sep 12 That's the reason why too much money in politics makes each get more intense for there view . It's like a game of one up . There is only one club and we are not in it , but we attack each other like we need to win . I'm old enough to know only way to win is play for ourselves.

September 16, 2025Sep 16 RIP to the legend. I loved The Sting as a 10 year old moviegoer, although it was eclipsed by Paper Moon which came out that year too because I kinda crushed on Tatum O'Neal who who was also 10 at the time.
September 24, 2025Sep 24 RIP Louise Vincent, Drug User Who Led Harm Reduction Movement “The idea is that we need to care about people who use drugs, whether they use drugs or not.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/health/louise-vincent-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.oU8.Npj8.H-0PSTRpNPv8&smid=url-share (gift article) https://www.nprillinois.org/2023-11-19/one-womans-controversial-fight-to-make-america-accept-drug-users-for-who-they-are
September 25, 2025Sep 25 Claudia Cardinale, the famed Italian actress, passed away on Tuesday. Not sure which one of her movies - quite possibly "Once Upon A Time In The West", or just as likely "The Pink Panther" - sparked my initial crush in my early, prepubescent years. But I just knew she had "it": "Ciao bella". RIP Edited September 25, 2025Sep 25 by jpelg
September 29, 2025Sep 29 4 people gunned down in a deplorable act of violence in an LDS church in Michigan. https://apnews.com/article/mormon-church-shooting-michigan-dcb79ee701b0b8076bf73e30e10ba2b7?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us I know I'm pro-2A and anti-superstitious, but I also believe in freedom from religious persecution. Fucking rednecks.
September 29, 2025Sep 29 And three more dead in a North Carolina mass shooting yesterday. Both the NC and Michigan shooters were former US Marines who served in Iraq. https://www.npr.org/2025/09/28/nx-s1-5556033/north-carolina-shooting-southport-american-fish-company
September 29, 2025Sep 29 I despise and condemn how the current administration and the GOP have emboldened this hate and violence. I read stories like this almost every day, it seems.
October 1, 2025Oct 1 RIP Jane Goodall....one of the more amazing humans in this world.... https://www.npr.org/2025/10/01/459238450/jane-goodall-primatologist-dead-91
October 3, 2025Oct 3 RIP to Susan Lucas, a.k.a. Soo Catwoman. Her image was pasted on SO many memories from my early days, she was a punk icon in the UK. I saw her image so many times, and loved her style. She even did (tried to?) some singing; I liked the pics more than the song....
October 8, 2025Oct 8 RIP Ken Parker, designer of the most advanced guitar ever, the Parker Fly Deluxe. This one hits hard, I regret having to sell all my Parker Fly Deluxes over the course of the last year, they were the most amazing guitars. I just pulled the bass out of storage to fix and sell (it's just the battery compartment).
October 10, 2025Oct 10 Another great one gone....RIP John Lodge. What a voice (EDIT: along with Justin)! https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/news/john-lodge-moody-blues-justin-hayward-b2843232.html Edited October 10, 2025Oct 10 by skullguise
October 11, 2025Oct 11 Always loved her, beautiful woman!! For me, Looking For Mr. Goodbar and Baby Boom may be my faves. RIP......
October 16, 2025Oct 16 RIP Ace Frehley. I was never particularly a fan of Kiss, but his showmanship was something else.
October 17, 2025Oct 17 RIP Susan Stamberg. I'm not sure I aligned with per politically or otherwise, by I can say my formative years had her and the other NPR ladies on in the background. I'd say her name wrong ("Stanberg" "Samberg") much to the amusement to the adults.
October 18, 2025Oct 18 That's sad, although I had no idea she was 87 years old. A true pioneer. We are going to make her bright pink cranberry relish for Thanksgiving as an homage. We've made it a few times and I quite like it, although we will make a more standard version as well. RIP to the legend (which we seem to be losing a lot of). https://www.npr.org/2006/11/23/4176014/mama-stambergs-cranberry-relish-recipe
October 20, 2025Oct 20 RIP Anthony Jackson, superb bassist..... I got to see him with the Hiromi Trio Project, so incredible; both Karen and I loved him (all of them), and she wasn't even a jazz fan. https://www.guitarworld.com/artists/bassists/anthony-jackson-dies-aged-73
