Hey, it’s TACO Bone Spurs birthday as he is having a parade. Meanwhile the USA appears to be at war with itself, the USD is at record lows, and everything he touches is turning to shit.

Albanese & Chalmers are on the cusp of making some Hawke & Keating. I hope they don’t let us down and make more regressive decisions like the Woodside gas extension. No benefit to Australians or the the future for us and our children. It’s time.

On Sunday I went to see Charlie Marshall and his sone play a jazzy set at the Retreat Hotel. First saw him in the 1980s in Harem Scarem the in the 1990s in Body Electric. He keeps on writing and playing with stellar musicians. Part of why Melbourne is one of the great music scenes in the world.
