I won’t pretend to know much about pop music, nor do I have the subject knowledge to write about contemporary artists. Most people of my generation aren’t into the latest hit songs. I’m beyond guilty of ignorance and indifference, as well.
Indeed, how many people over the age of 50 complain that — “today’s music sucks?” When it comes to music, we’ve become our parents — hell, make that our grandparents. I couldn’t name any of the music atop of the charts right now, even if there was a cash reward. If you share this naivete, then please READ ON. I think you’ll get something great out what I’m about to share. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for.

MY QUICK TAKE ON THE ILLUSION OF PEACE IN GAZA
Almost everybody wants peace, that’s is, aside from innumerable extremists scattered throughout the Middle East–which includes both Palestinians and Israelis. They aren’t going away anytime soon. Don’t be fooled by innocent people who mean well dancing in the streets, because there are quite a few you don’t see on the news hiding out and plotting the next chapter…. and it’s not going to be pretty for anyone.

THESE DISUNITED STATES:
A QUESTION ABOUT SECESSION
How many of you would vote for a national divorce? Another word for this is — a secession, which then becomes a partition. That would mean a state or group of states leaving the USA and forming a new sovereign nation. Of course, several states did try this once back during the 1860s and things didn’t turn out so well. But, let’s assume a modern hypothetical secession could be peaceful—-would you support it?
Answering this question requires creative imagination. Given the sprawling U.S. map and how states could presumably divide, many isthmuses would be necessary to connect states scattered everywhere. Moreover, big cities in some states would protest. And, rural people in other states would protest, too. No one wants to be a minority inside their own “country.” So, even if it could happen, there are problems with dividing along red-blue boundaries.
When you think more about it, secession sounds next to impossible in practical terms. But for the sake of discussion, let’s shelve those concerns for now and just talk hypothetically —

Imagine taking the grand stage, expecting music, and then suddenly without any warning — the band refuses to play.
Stone cold silence.
According to early reports, that’s apparently what happened this morning at the Trump Wolf’s Lair, a gathering of 800 top military leaders summoned by the current crackpot regime which was held in Quantico. I wondered how these generals and assorted military brass who flew to the nation’s capital from all over the world would react to this unprecedented mandatory test-trial of a loyalty oath. I do feel great sympathy for these decorated military leaders, now forced into the excruciating decision over their careers and everything they’ve worked for (and rightly earned) *versus* becoming political mercenaries carrying out orders to go after their fellow Americans in a looming domestic conflict unseen since the Civil War. We’ve reached that point, right now.
The answer to this question may have revealed itself on this glorious Tuesday morning. Seventy years ago, it was the American military who stood up to the bullying of right-wing zealot Joseph McCarthy and effectively ended his witch hunts during the Army hearings. Fifty years ago, congressional Republicans may have saved America from the worst insecurities of Nixon. Today, it might be these generals doing much the same —– throwing up a gauntlet against Trump. Too early to tell–yes, of course. But this was encouraging, and a much-needed beacon of hope that perhaps we’ll make it through this idiocracy after all.
I was EXTREMELY PROUD to read this early report, of the military leaders choosing to remain loyal to the U.S. Constitution and refusing to go along with this MAGA madness. I didn’t write this (and I’d credit the author, if I knew the source *), but it’s an excellent summation of what happened today:

“USA! USA! USA!” …. OH PLEASE, JUST STOP
Back in 1976, I was 14. My father took me to an international track and field competition. It was held inside the Fort Worth Convention Center. Team USA faced TEAM USSR in a 3-day mini-Olympics. Track and field, pole vaulting, gymnastics, and all the usual sports were displayed. Despite the USA and USSR being intensely at odds on the global political stage, in sporting competition the mood was very different. The crowd of several thousand, almost all Americans and overwhelmingly Texans, cheered when the athletes from the Soviet Union did something spectacular. Sure, we were all cheering for our fellow Americans. Yet, our *guests* merited respect. They also deserved praise when they won or accomplished something big.
