The original AntiFa: June 6, 1944. my Uncle Joe piloted an LST on D-Day. Injured in battle, seeing the man next to him killed in action, he saw first hand the horrors of war. It was the day Hitler got the wake-up call that his "Thousand year Reich" was going to fall about 987 years short.

Happy Pride month. Like Billy Bragg says, “the front line is over here.” Fuck the haters. You are loved for exactly who you are. That goes for the other 11 months too.

Very detailed documentary. The music is loud, and the interviews are not. Otherwise, really good.

Yes, I’m old, but I’m still in the fight. Happy Amnesty International Day.

A whole lot of brave men and women gave their lives so this country could be a home for square pegs, out-casts, and misfits like me. Fortunately, my family has sent many brave men off to war and all of them have returned home when the fighting was done. Not everyone gets to be so lucky.

Happy birthday to the Modfather, Paul Weller “You choose your leaders and place your trust As their lies wash you down and their promises rust You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns/And the public wants what the public gets But I don't get what this society wants.”

This is Peter Dennis Blandford Townshend, and I love the noise he makes with his guitar. It's his 80th birthday. Celebrate accordingly.

Happy Birthday, Frank Capra. Probably my favorite director. For some strange reason, the films of the youngest of eight children from a family of Sicilian immigrants resonate with me? I know, curious.

Pizza and movie night. I love how the poster makes Nicholas Cage look like he just got hit in the back of the head. The woman in the poster looks nothing like Deborah Foreman.

So, "Private Eyes" by Daryl Hall and John Oates was the number one song on the Billboard charts the day I turned 18. What was yours?

How to piss off Tr*mp in one picture. Two great songwriters vs. one treasonous president.

It’s International Monty Python Status Day. So, here's one of my favorite quotes: "Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you." What’s yours?

I'm a one or a two, depending on how strong the coffee is, and what type of cream is available.
