I honestly don't know what I'd have done these past few months without your voice speaking truth to power.
You're out there speaking our minds. We're sick of tippy-toeing, both-sidesing and appeasing. We never placate a bully. We punch him in the throat.

Damn straight, Charlie.

Man 80’s music had a much better answer to Reagan and Thatcher than today’s namby pamby music scene does for Trump. I really miss that.

It’s from the 70’s, but, yes.

Speaking of songs of the day, yesterday's earworm was Fun Boy Three's "The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum". The lyrics are particularly impacting during the current situation.

And in a fit of absolute hilarity, YouTube attached the vid I shared of it yesterday to a Doug Ford ad.

How apt.

Always be a punk!
Always be strong!

There are different ways to look at things, it is possible you do not have all the information about Ukraine war. Here is a different view: https://limotsnewsletter.com/2025/02/19/ukraine-war/

Hell yeah. One of my fav songs. Keep up the fight Charlie. From a fellow Canuck.

Best Clash song! Thank you for all that you're doing. Signed An American.

Let's hope the sane Americans will take the country back from Trump, Vance, Musk and the MAGA idiots. BTW either a bloodless revolution against Trump or a blue state secession will do the trick.

The Clash seemed to foreshadow what was to come.

Here is another song from the clash that resonates with me today.

Political anxiety and strife DOES make for awesome music. Fuck me, I never saw this coming back in my lifetime though.

Theatre St Denis in Montreal 1979. Undertones and The B Girls. Absolutely exhilarating and exhausting.

Huge 😀 - we slam-pogo’d our way to the front and climbed the camo webbing, were cast off into the crowd, friend still has a handful of bunting that came off in his 🤚😀😀

Still a highlight, top flight, top 3 all time … indeed exhilarating and exhausting
