out Lewis County Missouri's Democratic Primary results from last night.
That doesn't happen everyday :-).

"I was talking to Colin Meloy [of the Decemberists]. He was going, "Boy, you guys got out at the right time. The festivals are horrible now. They all have that fucking dance tent. You get these kids who are totally tripping, walking through and yelling during your set, and then there's that thumping all night long."
:-).

So
I could be wrong :-).
But for whatever reason I feel like what I write here is reaching way more than the original person it was intended for :-).
Weather it's repackaged and presented in a different fashion I have no idea.
I really have no basis in fact for the above mentioned opinion but I've learned (at least in certain situations) to trust my intuition.
I recently read an article and at the end of it, it ask the question:
"When the fascist came, what did you do to help fight against them daddy?"
With all that being said?
Here goes with the first really overtly political post in this forum.
TRUMP
People are saying this will be the end/ruin of the Republican Party.
I agree.
They didn't take their own advice after the Romney lost.
They chose not to step up and stop him early on when they could have.
It's funny to me to see a bunch of people (9 at the first debate I believe) standing around trying to be the toughest kid in the schoolyard but nobody wanting to take on the bully.
So much for being a bunch of tough guys and women.
But this is more than that.
I've read multiple columns lately about how this shouldn't be seen as a political party's demise, but should be viewed instead as a logical conclusion to where it has been headed all along.
If I agreed with the first sentiment about Trump being the ruin of the Republican party?
Then suffice it to say I agree with the second sentiment even more so.
Why?
I can hear people asking.
Well?
Because I was paying attention the whole time it was happening right in front of me.
If your political party has subtle or just under the surface racist overtones for well over forty years?
You really shouldn't be very surprised when it finds a mouthpiece.
President Obama is entirely correct when he says the other Republican candidates say the same things, just in a lot more subdued fashion than Trump.
To allow him to say the inflammatory things he has?
To not stand up and call him out as being wrong?
It's the same thing as giving your tacit approval.
People today don't even know what "The Southern Strategy" is.
Or was, given that it didn't hold Obama in check, nor does it seem to concern Mr. Sanders that much.
People don't remember Reagan kicking off his campaign at the Neshoba Miss County Fair.
Literally three miles from where three civil rights workers were slain by members of the KKK.
Regan goes there and touts "States Rights."
Never once did he mention the three slain civil rights workers.
These days the powers that be are trying to white wash that speech.
Trust me, you start talking "States Rights" in Neshoba County Mississippi in 1980?
Everyone knows what you are saying.
Throw in some Willie Horton attack ads.
(Bush the Elder).
Appoint a Supreme Court Justice who made it a personal vendetta to gut the voting rights act of 1964.
(Bush the younger)
I didn't even mention Congress obstructionism, I could sit here all day and just bring up point after point but theres really no...
Well?
Point to do so.
Stir this witches brew up while cooking for 40+ years and then stand around befuddled when the final product comes out.
I mean it's really what they have done to themselves.
The good news?
I'm really not seeing where Trump (or Cruz for that matter) picks up 64 electoral college votes on this map.
That's just way too many states to flip.
The democratic candidate would have to loose: Michigan, Ohio, Virginia and Florida.
It's just a very unlikely scenario.
Particularly when you factor in a likely backlash to Rick Snyder's tenure in Michigan and Rick Scott's continued unpopularity in Fla.
Everybody forgets it's not a national election in the truest sense.
It's a state by state election and there is a tremendous difference between the two.
Chickens come home to roost?
You betcha.
"What did you do to fight off the Fascist daddy?"
I just did son.
My conscious wouldn't have rested easy if I didn't.
What did you do?
Did
some research.
This says Lexington.
I'm pretty sure it was Louisville.
Amazingly?
There's not that much documentation around about it.
I
need to remember.
Always.
Need someone to help me remember actually :-).
Pretty sure I found her :-).
That's
what Nicholas would tell you lol.
Me?
I would say forgiveness is the best.
But as long as you're helping others?
This is a close second lol.
It's
so much more than a picture of Bourbon to me.
For one?
Nobody ever heard of it.
1885 Henry McKenna started makin whiskey.
Think about that for a second.
Pre-civil war.
Heaven Hill doesn't even list it on their website.
Rob, yes that Rob, brought the first bottle I ever saw of this to the Phi Delt House back in the mid eighties.
It's good lol.
There are a lot of bourbons people are paying a lot more for than this that aren't nearly as good.
10 years old.
100 proof.
Smooth.
Bottled in Bond.
I would say light bodied?
Not so in your face quite as much.
All these guys on instagram with more money than they got sense posting pictures of anything and everything with a cigar and their fancy glass.
You can tell half of them don't even know what they got.
Nothing against fancy glasses lol.
But every damn picture gotta be like that?
They will never get to ride down to the local store, find a bottle of this, put it on the back of their buddy's tailgate with his moms horse barn in the background and grab a shot.
All in KY :-).
By shot I mean the picture and the whiskey lol.
Like I said, it's so much more than a picture of Bourbon to me.
It's personal.

Well?
One way to do it would be to learn which side of her to walk on when the both you are walking down the street.
Love you.

The
way my mind works lol.
I'm just layin on the couch at Christians.
Watchin a movie with him and Hallie.
Out of nowhere lol.
"Ride on Josephine baby ride on"
Great lol.
Now it's stuck in my head the rest of the night lol.
Had to listen to it when I got home to get it out of my head.
Didn't work lol.
It's still there.
You know what beat that is right?
Pretty unmistakable.
Saw George Thorogood :-).
At The Brown Theatre in Louisville.
Right down the street from where Kindred is on Broadway.
Before The Kentucky Center for The Arts bought it and remodeled it.
Went with my buddy rock-n-Roll Rob Morrison.
My roommate in college.
The guy that brought home Blantons, JW Dant and a whole lot of other bourbons nobody had ever heard of at the time.
He's memorialized on my cooler on the porch.
That's a whole nother story lol.
Rob passed away a few years back.
Swine Flu.
Sucks.
Anyway.
We were going to go to the U of L preseason basketball game over in New Albany.
U of L had a really good team the year before and were looking to do so again.
Streets were packed with cars.
People were walking back and getting in their cars.
"Hey, whats going on?"
"Fire Marshall is turning people away, too many people in the gym."
Damn.
Now what?
We just looked at each other.
We both knew he was playing that night.
At pretty much the same time we said "George Thorogood!"
Off we went.
"Dude I don't have enough money for a ticket."
Rob says "You got enough to buys us a couple of beers?"
"Yeah."
"You buy the drinks, I'll spring for the tickets."
"Deal."
Rob was always cool like that.
We get there, get tickets, place is close to being full.
Were in the balcony.
First row in the front all the way on the right as you stand facing it.
Fire escape was immediately to our left.
Lil bit into the show and he's just killing it.
Neither one of us really that big of a fan of his.
His music has it's place.
Mostly clubs and field keggers lol.
But live?
Oh good lord.
He duck walked forward all the way across the front of the stage.
He duck walked backward all the way across the front of the stage.
Played that big ass white guitar of his (Gibson I do believe) behind his head.
"Dude?"
"Yeah?"
"I gotta piss."
"Well go then." Rob says.
"I don't wanna miss anything."
Rob just turns away like oh well, your problem lol.
We stood, danced and sang the whole damn time.
I mean we had a blast.
Neither one of us could believe how good of a show it was.
"Hey"
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to go out on the fire escape, make sure and let me back in."
"What?"
"There's nobody out there I'm going to go take a piss."
I mean I'm like two stories up in the dark with a parking lot down below.
(The cars were far enough away lol)
Rob just laughs.
"Okay."
Turns out I could get back in without Rob having to open the door for me.
The rest of the show?
Whenever either one of us had to go?
Take a guess where we went lol.
2:55 mark lol.
"Josephine?
...your tank is leakin' baby
I think ya' better slow down, ride with me
Ya' say what?
Ya' ask me to hush up and mind my own business?
Uh...baby you are my business
You good business baby
I just looooove good business
Ya' say what?
Ya' ask me what kind of car am I drivin'?
Well, Uh...
I'm drivin' a '48 Cadillac with thunderbird wings
I'm tellin' ya' baby it's a runnin' thing
I could reach a groove a'baby .. get a gear
I think I could take it a'right outta here
Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine, child ya' got a runnin' machine
Baby baby ride on Josephine, baby ride on."
He was still playing after two hours.
Big old body builder type just wailing on the sax all night.
They turned on the lights.
It was time for the show to be over.
They started pulling the curtain closed on the stage.
He started cussin.
"What the f&^%?"
They killed the mic.
He starts kicking at the curtain.
They drag him off the stage.
Promise.
When I was in high school he did a tour, fifty states in fifty days.
Did Hawaii and Alaska the first two days.
He played Armondos Palace on Bardstown Road on that tour.
I didn't get to go, I was too young but as soon as I got my license?
I went to see where this place was and what it looked like.
Bardstown Road, Highlamds.
Place is a fitness center now :-(.
I told Nich a while back I didn't remember how I came to find out about the Highlands when I was young.
It just came back to me :-).
"Ride on Josephine, ride on" indeed.
Love you.

“Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.” Ruth 1:16b (NIV)
The book of Ruth is the story of girl who trusted God with the unforeseen, the unanticipated and the surprising. She teaches us that by embracing the changing seasons of life and the circumstances that God allows, we can come to see God in a new light as we walk through new situations.
Yet as we see in Ruth 1:16, Ruth tackled her new season head on. Even though her shift in season was unexpected, life-changing and unsettling, she embraced it.
She moved fully into the season of life God allowed, trusting that in the end it was God who was her Sustainer and Provider. She trusted Him with her identity, her station in life and the direction of her story. And in trusting Him she learned that new seasons, even the unexpected ones, can lead to the most beautiful places.
Yeah right lol
Sure Bob lol.
As Bono said at Marley's Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame Induction Speech,
"It was his excuse anyway."
I mean the guy built schools and hospitals and funded charities in his home country.
Who gives a shit what kinda car he drives?
Are
you bored with all the text about the election lol?
Keepin my mind off things I suppose.
Love you.
SRV
Houston Astrodome.
Probably played the national anthem before an Astros game.
Caption didn't say.
Just said SRV, Houston Astrodome.
Think he gave a shit about what people said about the way he dressed?
I doubt it.
I
know what he is talking about.
Nich would point out all his faults and indiscretions lol.
Thats okay.
It will never change the fact that I know what he's talking about.
I experience it.
I live it.
Everyday.
Promise.
Fuck
common sense.
I'll take intuition.
Following my heart etc.
Know why?
Well for one thing, it's a lot less common.
Love you.

"I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood,
But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places.
So while they fight you down,
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises.
'Cos I'n'I no expect to be justified
by the laws of men - by the laws of men.
Oh, true they have found me guilty,
But through - through Jah proved my innocency."
I think he probably read Ephesians 6:12 a few times :-).
(I'n'I = me and my brothers)

"I'm
a rebel,
let them talk
Soul rebel,
talk won't bother me
I'm a capturer,
that's what they say
Soul adventurer
night and day
I'm a rebel
I'm a rebel
soul rebel
Do you hear them, Lippy?
I'm a capturer
Soul adventurer..."
Continuing
our lil trend we got going here of you saying something and it reminding me of a song :-).
Love you.
People hated this when it came out btw lol.
They wanted more, "Do you feel like we do."
Can't blame them.
I didn't like it that much either to be honest.
But that's not the point here lol.
The point is you reminded me of this.
Enjoy :-).

"I could never love again so much as I love you
Where you end where I begin is like a river going through
Take my eyes take my heart I need them no more
If never again they fall upon the one I so adore"
Thought I was kidding didn't you :-) ?

Rumi
Half of life is lost in charming others.
The other half is lost in going through anxieties caused by others.
Leave this play, you have played enough!
"Talk
about a dream
try to make it real
you wake up in the night
with a fear so real
you spend your life waiting for a moment
that just don't come
well don't waste your time waiting..."
Love you.
Thanks for everything.

Mr. Daltry
turned 72 today. :-).
"No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes"
Always loved that song.
You'll never guess why lol.
Cause
it seems appropriate lol?
Mick Jones project after The Clash.
Really liked the first album.
Liked this song as well.
Enjoy :-).
If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
And not change a single thing
Even when I was to blame
For the heartache and the pain
That I caused throughout my years
How I loved to be your man
Through the laughter and the tears
Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can't go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
Now I'm fully grown
And I know where it's at
Somehow I stayed thin
While the other guys got fat
All the chances that I've blown
And the times that I've been down
I didn't get to high
Kept my feet on the ground
Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can't go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
And of all my friends
You've been the best to me
Soon will be the day
When I pay you handsomely
Broken hearts are hard to mend
You know I've had my share
But life just carries on
Even when I'm not there
Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can't go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can't go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Outta here
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Outta here
Yes, it's on the playlist as well :-).
It's
"...Lately I've been on the road more than I've been home
All this leavin' her alone is killin' me
And holdin' her right now has got me thinkin' more and more
This is right where I need to be..."
on your playlist :-).
