Episode March 2 2025 This episode begins by paying our respects to Roberta Flack, who passed away last week. The recording featured here is my favorite track by Ms. Flack.

The podcast concludes with a live recording from 70's fusion band Weather Report.

I feel like today was a defining point in history. The US is now allied with the worst dictators of the world. NATO and other democracies around the world have become adversaries. It’s shameful.

Has anyone noticed that MSNBC commercial breaks are now filled mostly with self-promos and "The More You Know" PSA's? Is this because they don't have paid advertisers to fill the space? Are companies avoiding advertising on MSNBC for political reasons? That would be concerning.

To those that say they approve of DOGE's cost cutting and making government more efficient, I say Musk, Trump and his oligarchs don't give a damn about government efficiency. This is all a smoke-screen to purge government employees that are not MAGA loyalists and could be a barrier to their installing a Dictatorship and corrupt Soviet style oligarchy. They have already fired IG's, prosecutors and agency heads that pose a threat to their corruption and authoritarianism. It's all in Project 25 and they are systematically executing the plan.

Episode Feb 16, 2025 No real theme to today's show, just music I have been listening to this past week. We start with classic fusion (1975) from Return To Forever with Chick Corea and conclude with West Coast jazz with drummer Shelly Manne. In between, we have modern jazz, mostly released in the last year.
