Random Notes from a Crank

Back in the 90s I was an avid reader of the work of Henry Rollins, and I listened to spoken-word performances. 

What he says above makes sense to me. 

It makes me think about what my mentor in grad school said about "extra money." He said it's an oxymoron. 

With what President Adolf is doing to the U.S. economy and the world's economies, that statement is clearly apparent. 

Normally when someone says, "I know what I'm doing," that person is indicating they don't know what they're doing. Moscow Don is a case in point. 

For no good reason, the current administration is going after international students in the U.S.: "With Secret Moves against International Students, Feds Spread Fear." 

The complicity of the GOP to what Moscow Don is doing can be summed up in this image. 

Music Friday: "Disconnect"

iTunes classifies the music of the Rollins Band as "alternative and punk." How 'bout just hard rock? 

Regardless of that goofiness, in a world of social media saturation and me reading the paper every morning thinking about how America is in a lot of trouble, I offer "Disconnect." 

Music Friday: "Liar"

Henry Rollins was on The Late Show with Steven Colbert this week, which reminded me of the trio of albums I have from the Rollins Band.

Here's a famous song from Weight. 

Random Notes from a Crank

On Tuesday morning I received an email that the meeting I had that morning was cancelled. I felt like I just received a Get Out of Jail Free card.

Recently I was talking with someone, and the name of Henry Rollins came up. Later that morning a FB friend shared this blog post by Rollins about the Steubenville rape case. Synchronicity and a helpful perspective on it all.
