Whenever something is described as “no nonsense” I’m skeptical. NO nonsense? What do you do during lunchtime?

Oh, and "Do You Remember Rock and Roll Radio" from End of the Century. youtu.be/Gi9a7IdRiBI

"Garland Jeffreys: The King of In Between" (because he's one of my favorite artists and I know him and his wife!). www.kingofinbetween.com

Favorite opening tracks: "One Time, One Night" from Los Lobos' By the Light of the Moon; "London Calling" from the Clash's London Calling; "Thunder Road" from Born to Run.

I think about this all the time! Wendy Carlos, Renee Richards, plus all the artists who were intentionally androgynous or blurred gender lines -- Bowie, the New York Dolls, hell, even Twisted Sister. You weren't cool unless you not only saw Rocky Horror, but knew when to throw toast at the screen!

Platner is the cult of personality.

I grew up with a lot of Reagan Republicans, including guys who served in the military. Not a single one got a Nazi tattoo or mistook Nazi symbols for anything other than Nazi symbols.

Ok, but why is Graham Platner actually a thing? Wtf is wrong with yall?

Sorry, no one I know flirted with Nazism as a “20-something.”

What on earth is wrong with people.

FOURTEEN OUT OF TEN.

His TV commercials are so weird. He's like, "I'll fight Donald Trump," which invariably prompts me to shout "YOU'RE IN CONGRESS RIGHT NOW."

I'm an old white guy from the suburbs and even *I* figured this out.

Wait, hear me out -- now that DHS is without a secretary, it would be a perfect time to, you know ... abolish it.

Right!

I have a hunch that Markwayne will be worse.

You weirdos have never had a conversation with an actual human, have you.

Everyone who actually votes for Democratic candidates also has "a dose of tough medicine" for the party, which is, of course, DON'T LISTEN TO RAHM F*CKING EMANUEL.

The media's thirst for "blunt truth-tellers" pointing their fire at Democrats and a complete absence of any appetite for the equivalent on the Republican side would be laughable if it wasn't so consequential. NO ONE is asking for Rahm Emanuel except people writing columns or running Third Way

Ted Levine, Buffalo Bill in "Silence of the Lambs," used to hang out at our house when he was in high school.

I grew up in Oak Park, but we're in Gurnee now! I have family in Highland Park and Lake Bluff.

His shop was downtown, near city hall. They lived in Winnetka, which was all farmland at the time. Took the train into the city every day.

Fun fact: my paternal grandfather, who was Catholic and came from what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire, spoke Yiddish and had a barbershop in the City with a predominantly Jewish clientele.

Laissez les bons temps rouler, as the famous Yiddish expression goes.

"Find something he said ..."? Like, I dunno, getting a Nazi symbol etched into his flesh in permanent ink?? I have a couple of tattoos -- including one of my dad's shoulder patch from his WWII army uniform when he was kicking Nazis' asses -- and believe me, they say *exactly* what I mean.

Geez. The guy appears on Alex Jones' show a few times and he goes stark raving mad.
