I've always wondered what became of them. Anyone still active in music or still residing in MN to your knowledge?

Reminds me how much I miss Jonestown. All Day Sucker and those early singles "Recall", "Screw Crude", and "25 Years" were so amazing. Their live shows were insane.

Sailor's Luck, by clog 26 track album

30 years ago(!) I had the privilege of playing drums on this record by Minneapolis band Clog. Mike and Jay have written some of the catchiest, fun, strange, and heartfelt songs I've ever heard. Their prolific 90s output is finally being released for streaming.

It's a wall of shame. The slow IV drip into America's bloodstream of complacent acquiescence to oppression.

I'd agree it was Burt's best. But I thought Wahlberg was incredible in Three Kings.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Like Linus clinging to his blanket. It's amazing how hard it is for people to evolve and grow up. "When you know better, you do better." Nope. Not St. Francis...

Shirley walked so Jesse could run. Jesse ran so Barack could win. Rev. Jackson was a ubiquitous presence in my childhood and youth in the 1980s and crucial to my own political awakening.

We're moving ever closer to making Nena's "99 Red Balloons" a reality.

You can read about the history behind this one-hit wonder in my book, John Cleese Saved My Life! ...And Other True Tales of Pop, Politics, & Prayer.
