Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon, Sounds of Silence (live) 2009
You know, after this weekend's "campaign" events, all I want is the sounds of silence. It took me much longer to get to the point where the POTUS's voice evokes a reflexive cringe, the exact opposite reaction I get to Simon & Garfunkel, who still hold up (albeit I suspect with a little electronic help) some fifty years later.
There is an interview today that intrigues me, though I have no idea what he'll say: Vice Admiral Robert Harward, who turned down the opportunity to be Trump's National Security Adviser will be on This Week. And then on the opposite end of the interest spectrum, someone dug up Rush Limbaugh from his tastefully-decorated apartment to let him wax rhapsodic on his Trumplove. The Trumpette making his rounds of all the Sunday shows (except for that losing CNN's State of the Union is Reince Priebus. Thank FSM we get another week's relief from Kellyanne Conjob. And if you don't want to hear from right wingers (can't blame you), there's always Glenn Greenwald, who will be on CNN's Reliable Sources.
