POTUS, OR, BEHIND EVERY GREAT DUMBASS ARE SEVEN WOMEN TRYING TO KEEP HIM ALIVE: Theater Review

A not-so-funny thing happened on the way to the Forum – I mean Geffen Playhouse: A motorcade of truly presidential proportions waylaid traffic, with siren-blaring, orders-giving motorcycle cops squealing via loudspeakers and SUV-type vehicles tying up traffic, so some self-important high-muck-a-muck could impose a mini-police state over Westwood in order to reach some destination. The thought crossed my mind: Either Trump has launched his pig putsch or is Kamala going to watch POTUS on the boards? Through some deft maneuvering I managed to make my way through the pig-created traffic jam (your tax dollars at work!) and reach the Geffen in time for the curtain, with, thankfully, no White House pompous bigwig in sight. (Ironically, a POTUS press release I received had this in the subject line: “POTUS is Now in L.A. (Without the traffic.)” Can I sue for false advertising?)

From Win Without War:  Tell President Biden: De-escalate and negotiate a ceasefire NOW

Ceasefire Now

Recent breaking news alert after alert have all had the same devastating message: The United States, at President Biden’s direction, has bombed multiple sites across Yemen. Today, the risk of an all-out regional war in the Middle East is higher than it has been in years. Over the past several weeks, the Houthis, who form the de facto government in much of Yemen, have launched numerous attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. They claim it’s in response to Israel’s deadly war in Gaza — and as violence like this continues to spill across the region, the U.S. government must be steadfast in its restraint and calls to see the violence end.  Unfortunately, another round of U.S.

CD101’s origin tale is classic old-school Columbus

 

The first “alt rock” song to ever travel Columbus radio waves was Echo & The Bunnymen’s “Rescue.” Sure, it may not have been the very first progressive rock song played locally. But let’s just call it the truth because this story harkens back to a more fun, more weird, and more cool Columbus. 

The year was 1989. The Berlin Wall was crumbling, and in America, alt rock or progressive rock was making the cool kids lose their freakin’ “I can’t listen to this glam and classic rock anymore!” minds. The station playing Echo & The Bunnymen was 107.1 FM WLRO out of Circleville, an adult contemporary station and able to reach Columbus. It was a Sunday night, and the 31-year-old radio personality who played “Rescue” was a former Ohio State campus kid looking to bring a full-time alt rock station to Columbus. 

“The second I played that first song, the phones went absolutely crazy,” says the now 60-something Gary Richards. That’s him in the suit in the above black and white photo. “The show was an instant sensation.”

“Doomsday Clock” Kept at 90 Seconds to Midnight for 2024

          

The “Doomsday Clock” of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was kept at 90 seconds to midnight this week—the closest to midnight that the clock has been set since it was created in 1947. Midnight is defined by The Bulletin as “nuclear annihilation.”

The hands of the clock were initially moved forward to 90 seconds to midnight last year. In moving the clock forward in 2023, The Bulletin, founded by Albert Einstein and scientists who helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project, issued a statement declaring it was: “A time of unprecedented danger.”       

Zionist reminder, compilation of information, Sabeel Conference

A zionist on my list (I do have some since my list is large with over
55.000), who sent me threats before, sent me a message today with the
reminder of Deuteronomy 7 from the Bible/Torah: 1 When the Lord your God
brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before
you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites,
Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than
you— 2 and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you
have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with
them, and show them no mercy. 3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give
your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 for
they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods,
and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you. 5
This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their
sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the
fire. 6 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God
