Appears to be various performances (video segments & audio accompanied by photos) from the tour behind SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND, but worth the time— and will do until Steve & band return. @stevehacketthq.bsky.social

@david-rooney.bsky.social I missed BEATLES 1964 because it’s gone, but I’m sure it’ll be back. In the meantime you & your Beatles-fan followers might enjoy my latest installment on their film HELP! where I uncovered how it thwarted a 3rd scripted film, & how that impacted rock music history.

Texas Paul as usual has it nailed. Mike Johnson is Little Louisiana Bigot Boy.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social @lastwordmsnow.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social Nick Shirley needs to be hounded every fucking day for the lies that led to the chaos Trump wrought with the ICE invasions & is responsible for the deaths of Good & Pretti—with Musk’s help. youtu.be/p7ZG_xWYLzI?...

My third installment on the Beatles’ movie HELP! contains revelations that might surprise many fans including how they didn’t want another Beatles-as-Beatles film & with no 3rd film planned how that & other factors led to REVOLVER--changing rock music history. @the-paulmccartney-project.com

My third installment on the Beatles’ movie HELP! covers the period after its release including revelations that might surprise many fans, including how they didn’t want another Beatles-as-Beatles film & with no 3rd film planned how that & other factors led to REVOLVER--changing rock music history.

What we all know but needs to be put on repeat and on full blast.

The controversy of Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl halftime show has parallels with what happened when John Lennon said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Read my public Facebook post for the details. www.facebook.com/share/p/18Bi...

If this folk song sounds Dylanish it’s because it’s in that same tradition of capturing a specific event rather than cloaking it in metaphors. Well done, Bruce.

I never thought I’d agree with the NRA but there’s a first time for everything. The victim’s survivors should sue Noem & Trump if they don’t make an example of the murderer & have him prosecuted. www.ms.now/news/nra-ale...

Bessent is a goddamned mofo lying POS. Here are the REAL paid agitators. They were paid off with PARDONS. And this should be thrown in those Trump cocksuckers’ faces EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME.

Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes story on the mistreatment of migrants because “our viewers come first”. She’s not fooling anybody. We all know who that “viewer” is.

The Beatles' second film HELP! was successful in capturing their charisma. But the film isn’t without its issues, including those that are problematic from cultural, conceptual, and continuity perspectives--and for a subsequent scripted film put the band in danger of becoming the Monkees.

Wow! Trump’s idea was to give people “money” for health care. And how many tens of thousands will they generously offer? Wow, a whopping $84 or $125 a month, depending on their age. Guess that ballroom cost more than Trump thought.

Here is the list of senators who confirmed Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense. Remember these are elected officials who put fealty to Trump over doing their actual jobs in choosing someone qualified for the job. And remember them come time to reelect them. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

According to a knowledgeable friend war crimes are not pardonable. Thanks to Tom for gifting this article. Here’s what stood out for me.

@bsky.app you have a major bug you need to fix. Whenever I watch an external video full screen after choosing a link on a BlueSky post there’s no way to close it: tapping on the screen does nothing and I’m forced to swipe it away to reset the app. This is a Pri 1 bug IMO.

In this first of a multi-part series on HELP! I look at its origins, its components, & its positive aspects. It may not match the now rightfully classic status of A HARD DAY’S NIGHT & future essays will address its thornier issues. But there is nevertheless a ton of charisma, & a lot to admire.

All religions are man made. Prove me wrong.

@benmank77.bsky.social tonight you’re hosting THE WIZARD OF OZ on @tcmtv.bsky.social. If Dorothy had thrown a sandwich instead of a bucket of water the wicked witch might have survived & had her indicted on felony charges.

Exactly.

worth 4 mins of your time to watch this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmfD...

Rhino has released Genesis' THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY Super Deluxe box with astounding Dolby Atmos Mix & the full show at the Shrine in LA-- & I was there. I cover those items in my new essay as well as how the Musical Box and @stevehacketthq.bsky.social kept the album alive.

DO IT!

I love ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. I enjoy the offerings from HULU. But I abhor any major organizations that bow to government censorship. Which is the reason I gave when I cancelled my membership this AM. (I don’t subscribe to Disney+.) @stevemartinreally.bsky.social

RIP Robert Redford. While he delivered so many great performances (I choose THE CANDIDATE) let’s also remember him for his directing: QUIZ SHOW is one of my favorite movies. Which Redford works would you choose, @david-rooney.bsky.social?

@maddow.msnbc.com tell us. Conservative SCOTUS aren’t gods. They have to follow the law like everyone else. If they flagrantly & illegally are taking away the rights of people of color I WANT TO KNOW WHY FOLKS IMPACTED BY THEIR DECISION CANT SUE THEM!

Conservative justices are racist partisan assholes. It’s time we let them know it. US Supreme Court backs Trump on aggressive immigration raids www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

FAUX BREAKING: It’s been revealed who the people were in that Venezuelian boat bombed by the Trump administration. Instead of the alleged drug dealers the individuals were actually Epstein victims. When asked about this Trump replied, “Doesn’t matter. Either way a win for me!!!”

@david-rooney.bsky.social I wish I read your review before I tried to watch this. What a waste of a name cast. When Bill Murray shot some innocent guy in the head & the punchline was his brain matter falling off the wall behind him I was done. At least Murray vindicated himself with THE FRIEND.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Texas has officially becone a police state. Residents of Austin should riot, including storming the houses of those unAmerican Republicans responsible for this shocking & disgusting affront on our rights. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

When the USA gets a non-cult majority & Dems are back in power we should demand arrests & televised hearings that make the judgement at Nuremberg & the Watergate trials pale in comparison. Accountability will blast these assholes to smithereens, & their descendents will bear their shame.

The payoff comes at the end. Ah, if only.

Time for this 💩 to hit the fan & smack #COTUS in the face. Their job isn’t to legislate “morality”. They want to keep America homophobic & Christian, just as in the past they tried to keep it white & male. If one is gay it’s not because they “chose” to be so. It’s just a facet of human nature.

This is what it looked like in Kirkland, a suburb just outside of Seattle. People are still streaming in from the starting point almost a mile away, over 90 minutes ago. At last count over 4000 protesters are here—& counting. We will emerge triumphant. #NoKings @maddow.msnbc.com

POGO by Walt Kelly included strips deemed subversive by conservative rags who would refuse to print them. I don’t know if this from 1963 was one of those but how prescient. @gtconway.bsky.social @katiephang.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

For a long time Yes influenced me in a number of ways, until they didn’t. In my essay at SER I explain how Jon’s performance with the Band Geeks in Seattle brought back the kind of energy and joy I hadn’t expected was possible, making it a show I’ll never forget.

RIP Brian Wilson. I wrote a short essay which is on my Facebook feed, where I reveal how living in L.A. when the Beach Boys became popular made their impact all the more resonant. www.facebook.com/share/18sAMJ...

@david-rooney.bsky.social did you see “Good Night and Good Luck”—the original movie, the recent play live, or the CNN broadcast? Wish I could have seen it live, it looked amazing. I hope they rebroadcast it. So many parallels with the shitshow happening today. www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...
