People love their false dichotomies and the more black and white this world gets the worse people get.

Not even #politicians are that black and white, they steal policy from each other!

It's us vs them, right vs left, you're only A or B. If I believe A and you don't you must be B and B is always bad! ENEMY!

It's pathetic.
The whole world lives in shades of grey, including you and everyone around you.

In case you didn't realize it, the economic uncertainty this group of pissants is causing here in the US is hitting hard. As a musician, the places I play regularly are venues that bring me in as added value. I hold the crowds, they buy more food and drink, and everyone is happy. I've been working since January to fill my 2025 calendar (something that hasn't been a problem in the past) and I can't get through to anybody. It's like screaming into a void.

My guess is that venues feel they can no longer afford "added-value" extras. A few have told me they have cut back on music, or cut it totally.

So yeah, as I feared all last year, it's looking like my livelihood is also on the block. I'm furious at red voters, and even more angry with the blue voters who stayed home because they felt this was the time to take a stand or whatever. Y'all shot us in the knees, and I'm not going to forget it.

Anyone looking for an accessible singer/songwriter with a good sense of humor and an uncanny ability to read a crowd?

Good morning. 🍁🍁🍁

Are you ever in a bad mood for now reason at all? I think it happens to all of us. When it happens to me, I usually just get quiet and mope around, but when I'm like that is not a good time to accidently bump into me.

My mother made me a Dammit Doll—a simple creation crafted from a couple of pieces of cloth, stuffed and sewn together, with buttons for eyes, yarn for hair, and a ribbon with a bell attached. A 3x5 card is tied to the ribbon, featuring these words:

"When you feel you want to throw the phone or kick the desk and shout. Here's a little dammit doll you cannot do without. Just grab it by its legs and find a place to slam it. And as you whack the stuffing out. Yell dammit, dammit, dammit."
