Is it really a mystery?🤔 “…why the administration is taking this approach, when Republicans control both the Senate and the House, have a starkly conservative Supreme Court and could be passing legislation, that's an ongoing mystery for many political and legal experts.” www.npr.org/2025/02/15/n...

#blackhistorymonth So far ahead of their time! Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove (1978). The perfect crossroads of soul, funk and rock. Played “Who Says A Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?” on tonight’s Left of the Dial. #afropunk #blackrockcoalition #georgeclinton

Listened to 1988’s Vivid from start to finish tonight. Played it loud! Cathartic music. Righteous and relevant lyrics. Biggest damn drum sound you’re ever gonna find on an album. William Calhoun is amazing! Wish I’d seen them live. @livingcolour.com @coreyglover.bsky.social #blackhistorymonth
