I seem to be happy these days. Trusting the plan. Would feel better if I saw certain somebodies brought to justice. In good time, we are told. Trust the plan.
There is so much to love about his video. Rundrgren and Hall live charmed lives. They reside in Hawaii and supplement their savings with home recordings. So many angles to the performance of one of my favorite songs.
For me, the show-stealer is the guy in the middle, Robert Trujillo. If you don't know, he is Metallica's third bassist who arrived on the scene about the time they started to suck. Not his fault.
Trujillo does great background vocals for a metalloid. He might be stuck in the bass union but he plays an amazing six string as well. I love his laugh too("It's not something I say in jest.")

Sessions And Me
I was beyond disgust and frustration with Jeff Sessions' inaction. Last fall I started a Care2 petition to remove Jeff Sessions. A friend of mine, who happens to believe in the primacy of Facebook, identified a dozen or so pro-Trump FB groups to join. I joined with the express purpose of recruiting signers to my petition. To date, I have collected 22 signatures for my efforts. I probably could have achieved the double deuces without Zuckerberg's assistance.
About a month after launching the petition, I discover Q Anon, and I developed a cultish obsession with all things Q. As cults go, it's not bad. Q never asks for donations. He doesn't ask for much. He likes it when we create memes but I have never made one. He also asks us to trust certain people, one being Sessions.
"Trust Sessions" is a recurring theme in Q posts. OK, I guess I will trust Sessions after all. Maybe if I had gotten 23 signatures, I would be so emboldened that as to pursue this thing further. But 22 John Hancocks?
"Trust Sessions"
"Trust Wray"
"Trust Kansas"
"Trust the plan"
I would like to know the plan I am supposed to trust but being one of the faithful and seeing the merits of belief in the unproven and unseen, I now trust Sessions. The trust won't last forever, of course. Then again, we on Planet Q believe something earth-shattering will happen soon. Sessions will lead the charge he has been leading all along.
Please don't break our hearts, Mr. AG.

A Ray Of Sunshine: "American Idol" Finale
Cool kids don't watch "American Idol" but I am not a cool kid.
Yes, they have hit their share of sour notes over the years but "American Idol" somehow succeeds despite itself.
It starts with Ryan Seacrest, a likable guy and the perfect host.
More important than Ryan, AI can usually find talent. Rival shows are not nearly as successful in this pursuit.
In some ways, the AI comeback was a botched effort. ABC speeded up the format and the new judges were ass-kissers. Still, two major talents emerged. They also happened to be likable people with lovable families. The two finalists revealed that they were lovers and then performed a powerful duet. Watch!
