"SHUT IT DOWN!:" Former Deputy Assistant AG Sally Yeats Demanded an End to the Clinton Email Investigation (and She Got It!)
Fake recusals -- like when Loretta Lynch claimed she was recusing herself from the Clinton email investigation, but remained active and oversaw her subordinate James Comey who she put "in charge" of the case -- are a hallmark of this case. It's the worst corruption. A recusal is necessary in cases where someone has a conflict of interest. It keeps investigations clean. But these people are so conflicted they are determined to remain in charge of these investigations to direct them to the outcome they desire. So they keep pretending to "recuse" themselves while maintaining all power over all people who are supposedly in charge of the investigation. The Jussie Smollett "prosecutor," Kim Foxx, played the same game.
FBI Director Kash Patel has uncovered a bombshell memo written in 2017 chronicling the extensive political obstruction that career agents in three cities faced from their own bosses and the Obama Justice Department during the 2016 election as they probed whether Hillary Clinton engaged in a pay-to-play corruption scheme involving her family foundation. "Shut it down!" then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is quoted as demanding in the detailed timeline of political impediments that agents in New York City, Little Rock, Ark., and Washington D.C. reported. The agents tried to get the help of federal prosecutors to determine whether or what crimes occurred while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, most notably, because at that time, her family foundation solicited hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign and U.S. interests with business before her department. The timeline -- written by a DOJ lawyer assigned to the FBI under former bureau Director James Comey -- was recently secured by top aides to Patel along with several corroborating internal emails and was obtained by Just the News. Together, they make clear that both the DOJ and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe placed significant impediments in front of agents who believed they had evidence to justify a public integrity criminal case. The declassified timeline revealed that as early as February 2016, the Justice Department "indicated they would not be supportive of an FBI investigation." The timeline also shows that, in mid-February 2016, McCabe ordered that "no overt investigative steps" were allowed to be taken in the Clinton Foundation investigation "without his approval" -- a command he allegedly repeated numerous times over the coming months. ... Declassified Timeline on Clinton Foundation Investigation The roadblocks just kept coming, the timeline shows, to the great frustration of the agents and the U.S. attorney's office in Little Rock, which had moved to a fully predicated criminal investigation. Patel's discovery of the memo and related emails comes at a sensitive time as Attorney General Pam Bondi has approved the use of a strike force and a grand jury to investigate whether law enforcement and intelligence abuses over the last decade amounted to a criminal conspiracy to protect Democrats like Clinton and Joe Biden while inflicting harm on Trump and his followers. Officials told Just the News that DOJ also has secured potential cooperation from current and former prosecutors and agents who were willing to assist any investigation in possible obstruction of the Clinton probes.
"Shut it down!" No explanation given The timeline detailed how Yates ordered one of the federal prosecutors to "shut it down" likely in the March 2016 timeframe. Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and Eastern District of New York (EDNY) purportedly said in August 2016 that they "would not support the investigation" into the Clinton Foundation, according to the timeline, and that "no explanation was given." Once the investigation had essentially been delayed for a year and dragged past the November 2016 election, the timeline shows that DOJ officials under Trump then began to raise their "concerns regarding the statute of limitations" around the investigation, with one still unnamed official saying that they "wanted to close this chapter and move forward." Yates did not immediately respond to a request sent to her via her law firm email, and McCabe did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent to him through George Mason University. The Clinton Foundation did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent through its website. McCabe was the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office, but he soon ascended to Deputy Director of the FBI under Comey, where the Justice Department inspector general said he "had an active role in the supervision of the Midyear [Clinton emails] investigation, and oversight of the Clinton Foundation investigation, until he recused himself from these investigations on November 1, 2016" -- just days before the election. By that time, most political fallout against Hillary Clinton from the FBI's probes had been neutralized. Inspector General Horowitz noted that his investigation "found that McCabe did not fully comply with this recusal in a few instances related to the Clinton Foundation investigation."
Read the whole thing. The agents kept presenting evidence sufficient to begin an investigation, and DOJ and FBI officials -- who the agents themselves said were conflicted due to their strong political support of the Clintons -- kept shutting the investigations down. Or, in many cases, pretended the investigations were "open," but no investigatory steps could be taken without Andrew McCabe's permission-- which he refused to grant.
No matter where agents turned to get support to investigate Clinton's alleged corruption, they were thwarted, the memo located by Patel reveals. ... ... The Durham report previously said the FBI's Little Rock investigation [into the Clinton Foundation grift] was launched in part due to an intelligence product and corroborating financial reporting that a particular commercial "industry likely engaged a federal public official in a flow of benefits scheme, namely, large monetary contributions were made to a non-profit, under both direct and indirect control of the federal public official, in exchange for favorable government action and/or influence." ... Durham also said the FBI's Little Rock and New York investigations "included predication based on source reporting that identified foreign governments that had made, or offered to make, contributions to the Foundation in exchange for favorable or preferential treatment from Clinton." Despite that evidence, the FBI timeline stated that DOJ "indicated they would not be supportive of an FBI investigation" on February 1, 2016. The timeline said that personnel from the FBI's Little Rock office raised concerns that a redacted official "may not want to be a party to the briefing because of conflicts of interest" during an early February 2016 meeting. A redacted Little Rock official "expressed these concerns due to the possibility that" another redacted official "was believed to be a supporter of the Democratic Party and possibly the Clintons." There was a meeting between officials from the New York and Washington field offices, and possibly the Little Rock field office, on February 17, 2016 according to the timeline. McCabe "led the meeting" and "was advised" by the New York field office about a confidential human source (CHS) "who possibly had information on the matter." During this meeting, McCabe "directed that no overt investigative steps were to be taken on the CF investigation without his approval."

Criminal conspiracies can extend the statute of limitations so long as the conspiracy continues. One of the things lawyers are pointing out is that each denial of wrongdoing extends that duration, indicating that the conspiracy is still operating.

Imagine what would have been in these doc reviews back in '17 had Trump used his full Executive branch arsenal of "go FCK yourselves" during the Mueller hunt rather than playing along. Obama and crew have had EIGHT years to purge and they still missed various smoking gun comms. Now, if Trump could divert his focus from the various goofball activities and laser his sights on Obama/Soros/Clinton all the rest will fall with it. Well, IMO at least.

Hillary was the bloated albatross on their necks. They kept punting the ball, dragging her dessicated corpse to election day. In doing this they hoped their fingerprints would be erased for eternity. Surprise!
What they did not take into account was President Trump winning in 2016. Which set the Russia deal into motion with a frenzy of chimps on acid in a banana plantation.
I do wonder how large Hillary's eye bags are today. Bill would not know as he is far away from Chappeddick (I spell this on purpose). With someone who likes Peyronie's and mouth breathing cigar breath.
I still want to know what the note said in the programs of Jeb, Laura and GWB at HWB's funeral. When they all shot lasers at President Trump.
It's getting good! Hold on! Whee doggies!

It is so that the Statute of Limitations could absolve them of all crimes without adding Destruction of Evidence to anyone's résumé. For those who committed crimes more recently, they get the Golden Get Out Of Jail Free For Any Crime Imagined Or Real Pardon from President Otto Penn.

Remember Hillary taking millions from overseas donors for the CGI after doing favors for them as SoS is perfectly normal
But Trump Inc having hotels overseas after he was elected president is an impeachable offense

The greatest victory the Left had, was when they used Pence, to convince Trump, to throw Gen. Flynn under the bus, via a fake and contrived FBI investigation with DOJ compliance, and a clearly biased Judge.
He was the one who would have uncovered all this YEARS ago... he already knew where the bodies were buried... thus he HAD to be taken out.

Just what sort of constitutional super powers does the mayor of baltimore think the President has? Banning the most popular sporting rifle in the entire country?
Oh wait, the mayor thinks the President doesn't have any powers and can't enforce immigration laws.

Dems put America through 8 years of divisive hell because Hillary didn't want to be embarrassed by the government having her emails.
--------
I think its important that we always reframe the discussion when the left calls the issue "Hillary's emails". Its not "emails" that are the problem--everyone uses email. Its that Hillary insisted on a ham-fisted email process that *compromised National Security* and had ZERO compelling/legal authority to do so.

>>What is the stature of limitations on obstruction of justice? Most non violent federal crimes is five years. But I have been reading some pretty novel ideas on "continuing" crimes and how they extend the SOL. They probably wont pass SCOTUS muster but they will bankrupt the $hit out of people defending themselves against the doj, just sayin.....
They really aren't novel. It's how a conspiracy investigation works. The SOL on a conspiracy starts ticking when the last act of the conspiracy has been committed.
It's been suggested by people like Mike Davis who have a lot of access to Trump's DOJ that is exactly the case they are working to build, an ongoing conspiracy to protect Democrats like Hillary and violate the civil rights of Trump and his associates. It would include the coverup of the above corruption investigation of Hillary, her email coverup and the Russia hoax, Ukraine hoax, lawfare, the raid on Mar A Lago and continued right up until now because they are still attempting to cover up their lies.
Remains to be seen if they will be successful but in theory none of these things is off the table because of SOL.

In a lot of ways, this is turning out to be the ideal, because for the next year, there will be zero Dem massaging, just a steady drumbeat of grand juries, indictments, charges, frog marches, trails and convictions.
That's it. That's going to be the news cycle, punctuated with record growth, falling inflation, jobs surging as new plants open.

Without arrests and prosecutions though, it just looks like tit for tat. The straights will see Team Trump going after the bad guys, and they'll think "Oh, he's getting revenge for what they did to him."
It's frustrating that these things stay open to interpretation, that it's just politics.
There have to be arrests and convictions. Of high ranking people.

Willowed on an old thread but worthy of notice
328 The investigators need to identify ActBlue's credit-card merchant bank and then subpoena it to explain why the bank allowed ActBlue to bypass security checks, such as the Address Verification System (AVS) and CVV2.
If a card taker (merchant) doesn't enforce AVS or CVV2, the credit card transaction is called "non-compliant". Non-compliant transactions have a much higher discount rate than compliant transactions. If the card is from overseas, it is called "international non-compliant," and the discount rate skyrockets.
Find out if ActBlue's merchant bank is properly penalizing them for non-compliance, or if they have a 'special agreement' in their contract (which violates PCI regulations set by Visa/MC/Amex) to waive the fees, and if that constitutes an illegal payment-in-kind to the Democrats.

Imagine what would have been in these doc reviews back in '17 had Trump used his full Executive branch arsenal of "go FCK yourselves" during the Mueller hunt rather than playing along. Obama and crew have had EIGHT years to purge and they still missed various smoking gun comms. Now, if Trump could divert his focus from the various goofball activities and laser his sights on Obama/Soros/Clinton all the rest will fall with it. Well, IMO at least.

There's real skin in this. Meaning, once the Democrats regain power, they'll go after Trump's team, and UNLESS Team Trump gets some convictions out of this, with real people getting real time for real crimes, the Democrats will be able to easily turn the tables.
We will have officially become a third world shithole.

Just to be clear, Yates was instrumental in the set-up on General Flynn. She's the one that got the ball rolling on accusing Flynn of misrepresenting a conversation he had with Russian officials. Her exact words were that "Flynn was compromised."
She has since returned to a law firm in Atlanta, and I'll bet that she has Fani Willis's number on speed dial.

I posted something similar to this a couple weeks/months ago:
- The Federal Government keeps records on literally everything. And they keep it forever. Electronic, paper or whatever.
MLK, JFK, FedGov employees retirement forms in a mineshaft, Watergate, etc. It's not a surprise that there are records of Clinton's crimes, Obama's crimes and all the other crimes. And all sorts of other, seemingly routine stuff. It's rare for something, especially created with IT to ever be, totally, erased or destroyed.

Failure to safeguard state secrets. “Air gapped” above top secret documents and satellite imagery, plans, personnel mysteriously appearing on these computer servers. Totally illegal, “intent” has no bearing in any way whatsoever.

'People often refer to Nixon, U.S. Grant, and Warren Harding's Teapot Dome as the biggest examples of corruption at the federal level.'
It burns my ass when they do.
Always some goddamn liberal too; Never conceding that other people might see their presidents as corrupt.
It's like they're trying to win a Nobel prize in hypocrisy.

It is so that the Statute of Limitations could absolve them of all crimes without adding Destruction of Evidence to anyone's résumé.

I'm thinking the best way out of it is to expand the SoL of state crimes, based on the idea that the opposition party can keep them covered up for years, depending on who controls what office or house.
It should be "from the end of conspiratorial actions", which since they have hidden this on us for quite a while, is probably January 2024, if the coverup within doesn't carry into 2025.

122 McCabe also leaked that there was an open investigation into Clinton just before the election in 2016.
I’m trying to figure out why he would do this. I think he was promised something by Clinton and she welshed on it.

______________________________
There was big in-fighting going on in the Dem party at the time. You might recall that just after the election, Donna Brazille took a close look at finances and realized that Clinton had somehow gained control over the entire pot, and controlled which candidates got what. I remember Brazille being very loud about it for a couple days, then going dead quiet. But, the weeks coming up to the election there would have been some very upset folks who weren't receiving DNC campaign funds, because Hillary controlled it. Those people (one of some) could have had a previous relationship with Wray through the Judiciary committee or the like.

They've actually used a bit from the Durham annex, recently.
From what I've seen Durham did a pretty good job within the constraints of what the IC would allow him to look into.
Posted by: Axeman at August 14, 2025 06:06 PM (krQz2)
Durham is still a putz. He HAD all the information, but didn't let the public know about it. He could have leaked all that info BEFORE the election... but didn't.
As Charlie Brown used to say... he could have been a Hero, instead he's just a Goat.

If she had a tiny bit of sense and less arrogance, she'd be taking her passport and getting outta this country while the gettin's good. A country where she can't be extradited. Of the list France and Germany look the best. Maybe Macron can take her in to bunk with Bridgette. This might soothe that beast.
It's getting hot, Hil! Bill is outta there somewhere else for the sheet is fixin' to hit the fan.
He will "not recall" a whole lot. And maybe he does not recall based on how he looks now. As well as the fact he probably never stays near Felonious Pantsuit.
The list of mysterious murders alone from Arkansas would make me leary of her company. Just ask Vince Foster. Bill had enough lamps thrown at him to know.

I infer that Timeline is some legal term of art. What does it mean exactly?
no, they just mean they have a detailed timeline reporting when agents brought "proper predication" to open investigations of Clinton, and then Andrew McCabe and other weaponizers shut them down for "no explanation given"
---
Yes, but also bigger.
It's building toward the "continuing enterprise" theory.
This all is not just one-off crimes; obstructing justice, suborning perjury, leaking classified info, etc.
This is all a ... Racketeering In Corrupt Organizations.
These were all not just discrete and separate operations, individual crimes or plots:
These were all done in furtherance of an entire enterprise organized to commit hundreds and thousands of crimes to benefit the Democrat Party.

Hey, whig, if you're around - I wanted to respond to your comment in an earlier thread, but I had a thing with my older daughter that needed attention.
Anyway, I didn't mean to imply that Barbour was responsible for McConnell becoming a Senator in KY. McConnell had been a Senator for at least a quarter century when the walking anus Haley Barbour retired from office, and close to a decade before that execrable cocksucker became the chair of the detestable RNC.
But Barbour was the Grand Lizard of the Grand Old Party during the McConnell regrettable rise in the Republican machine, and he groomed that awful grifter to be the next Grand Lizard after himself. And during his tenure, Barbour entrenched himself to such a degree that he could he simply hand the keys to the Republican machine to whomever he pleased, and he handed them to McConnell, his repulsive protégé.
That's what I meant about him blessing us all with the rancid turd he left on the doorstep of the American people, and which we can seemingly never completely wipe off our shoes.

IF you start the 90s with 1989...it's close.
But then you gotta start the 80s at 79. And that gives the 80s the edge.

why do you guys all hate the Beatles?
I don't so much hate the Beatles as I cannot stand how ludicrously overrated they are. I enjoy songs by Loverboy but I would hate it if someone treated them like the greatest act of all time that changed music and created rock and roll.

A couple of years ago Putin was in one of his mammoth Press events and someone asked about post war borders. He gave a long discursion about how Stalin shoved lots of ethnics from now NATO lands into Ukraine as 'Gifts', and said he wasn't necessarily against border changes there. He did mention to Poland that they might want to be cautious since Stalin gifted them with about 150 miles of German land on their west border, and they might want those back.

It really is kinda amazing that the first, big leak in all this was because some local reporter got a hot tip that Bill Clinton was at the local airport and thought he might dash out there and get a quick interview.
To get a 30-second "celebrity sighting" blub on the 10pm news.
Having no idea that Lorretta Lynch would show.
No one was suppose to know Bill was there.
And no fucking was was anyone to see Lynch show up.

I'd probably agree, because Prog re-emerged mid-90s.
To me, the 80s was too much texture variation and not enough harmonic elaboration. They were playing with new sophisticated sound toys, and so that was enough for most of the new wave.
Except, The Fixx, the Psychedelic Furs, and a few others. However, Queensryche came out of the late 80s, and I liked their work *before* 1990 more than after.

North America and Asia are two different tectonic plates. So they're talking about building a rail line at least 55 miles long, across the Bering Strait, subject to both seismic disturbances and weather (including sea ice). Seems unlikely.

the whole span. There's good 80s music but it's dated-sounding, like 50s music. just a lot of very specific tropes and instruments (the tinny keyboards) that date it.
Plus, unless you're really into glam rock and synth new wave, the 80s really only generated a couple of hundred really good songs.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

But I just feel like Paul McCartney & Wings had better *musicians* while retaining half of the "Lennon & McCartney" songwriting. So the touring band/shows were better...in my opinion. That "Rock Show" live DVD that re-dropped a couple of years ago is amazing.

Because bats in the Café are often a subtle signal that Ace was physically and emotionally relaxed the previous evening. Evidence of afterglow, one might say.
Now that you know, you'll be able to connect the dots for yourself.

easy peasy 80's mystery lyrics
I met this little girlie, her hair was kinda curly
Went to her house and bust her out,
I had to leave real early
These girls are really sleazy,
all they just say is please me
Or spend some time and rock a rhyme, I said "It's not that easy"

Plus, unless you're really into glam rock and synth new wave, the 80s really only generated a couple of hundred really good songs.

yeah I'm really just talking about pop and radio, I only checked in with the underground/indy/college rock stuff intermittently
but the 90s featured actual rock songs as pop hits on the radio. the 80s had less of that. sure, Def Leppard and a bunch of other bands, but a lot of the 80s songs were in genres that were only barely "rock"

Yup, early 80's I was on Navy ships and cruises... living onboard even in port... so unless I heard the music in a bar (which was nightly)... I never heard it.
Late 80's I was in Hawaii... which is its own little echo chamber... so missed a lot of stuff then too.
So I know a LOT about 70's music.... growing up and a year of college... and a heard a lot of 90's music (lived in San Diego most of those years)...
But 80's? missed a lot.

Remember the song Self Esteem by the Offspring? It popped in my head the other week. Good song. Horrifying lyrics.
The singer is acting like a bitch pining after a girl who is a slut. The writer said it was not his experience (sure, dude) just from what he had watched 'other' dudes do. Right.

I can't stand the Beatles for two reasons:
1.) They were never a great band, but got treated as one because they sold a shitload of albums to fawning teenage girls, and stoned retard 20-something dudes.
2.) Those fawning girls and stoned retards were the largest single birth-cohort in American history and commanded the attention of our marketeers for half a g-ddamned century. Their inability to ever put childish things away meant that I, a middle-aged man who was born three years after John Lennon got capped through his little fairy heart, have been subjected to their lame music everywhere I go for my entire life.
The boomers think the Beatles will remain a beloved thing for centuries. They will not. They will be an afterthought in 20 more years, while young people will still enjoy the music of their worthier contemporaries.

>>nothing beats the Lyrical Poetic stylings of the Ramones...
The Ramones were a staple of my youth. Sometimes you'd get lucky and they would play 3-4 shows each week. Between NY/Jersey/CT.
I got thrown out of more Ramones shows than I saw most of my favorite bands.

On one of their *average* nights, Paul McCartney & Wings were a better touring/live show than the Beatles on the Beatles *best* night.
A common theme against the Beatles is they were crap live musicians. This is simply not true but can be understood from the perspective that live recordings of that time were scant and often of third or fourth rate quality. Worse for the Beatles is that when they hit big the screaming audiences made getting proper recording near impossible.
However their live work can be understood from a couple places.
Their first album, Please, Please, Me was recorded live in the studio in less than one day and by the end of the Lennon had mostly lost his voice. It was at the point they band recorded Twist and Shout capturing that spectacular rock and roll vocal by Lennon. By any reasonable measure those compositions, arrangements, and live vocals, and playing capture one of the greatest live acts at its peak.
A later example is the Rock and Roll Music cover. It was recorded live in the studio in one or two takes. It still is one of the greatest Chuck Berry covers of all time.
Them boys could play and did. QED.

One pivotal entry in the memo alleges that, likely in March 2016, then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates told a federal prosecutor to stop: “Shut it down!”
The timeline adds that prosecutors in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York later said they “would not support the investigation” and that “no explanation was given.” After the election, DOJ officials raised “concerns regarding the statute of limitations,” with one unnamed official saying they “wanted to close this chapter and move forward.”

I think a few glam holdovers made it into the 80's.
Hair metal was a bunch of dudes that raided their girlfriend's makeup and wardrobe, and then sat around writing lame songs about their girlfriends whose makeup and wardrobe they raided. It had a slight..very slight veneer of metal, but not really metal.

I’ve seen way, way better kits in people’s basements and garages.
Why they toured with such pathetic amplifiers is imponderable. It wasn’t “equipment failure” it was mismanagement. At Shea they used the PA horn system, which is OK for spoken voice but rancid for music audio. Pathetic, really.
Then they did a bunch of acid and fried their noodles, and started believing all the hype and the rest of it. Brian Wilson, Syd Barrett, early Fleetwood Mac, quite a number of drug casualties really.

And these words stick in your brain... and have a cultural effect if popular enough.
It is a bit of a Chicken and Egg argument... but does Rap music reflect a degrading society? or does it Popularize degrading behavior?

I'm not a big Beach Boys fan. They were much better than the Beatles. Not even a close thing. The only Beatle who had talent on their level was Harrison, and they didn't let him do much.

Most Under-rated Alice in Chains song: It Ain't Like That Anymore.
That chugging guitar line sounds glorious.

>>give the Buzzcocks a listen
I try. And I try again.
I just don't get the love for them. They are the very definition of Mid for me.
But I won't rush to turn them off. I just never reach for their LPs.

I have a love-hate relationship with Man in a Box, because it's blasphemous.
Actually I don't think they were being blasphemous. The line "Jesus Christ, deny your maker" seems more to me a cry of despair from faith, not denial or mockery.
Won't you come and save me?
Save me
Feed my eyes (Can you sew them shut?)
Jesus Christ (Deny your maker)
He who tries (Will be wasted)
Its like a battle between someone in misery and the worst part of their nature or some outside force.

323 I'm not a big Beatles fan but I can acknowledge that they changed the music world, wrote their own songs , were innovative and were talented enough to each have a very successful solo career.

And Ringo... luckiest musician ever... OK drummer but got into a Great Band... then had a Good Solo Career...
And scored Barbara Bach?

Ladies in the 60s loved beehive hairdos, but had to give it up because of the bat nesting menace. Short girls could look 6 inches taller, friends could compete on how high they could style it-fun! Bats ruin everything! Remember, no fine lady ever had a penguin nest in their hair or give them rabies.

Lies. Everyone knows it was bees or spiders nesting in the hair and killing the girl by digging into the brain.

Congress is part of the constitution. Is the AG a relatively recent addition? DOJ? What was the enforcement or arrest mechanism prior?
Because this kind of shit has been going on for a long time. Prior to the FBI being captured they did great work rooting out spies and communists. Nobody in Congress wanted to do fuck all about it, and instead went after Sen. McCarthy. The Truman White House secured all the State department loyalty files and would not let anyone see them.
China and Mao Korea, Yugoslavia and Tito, all sorts of pro-communist actions were taken to make sure things turned out the “right way”. The UN, World Bank, etc etc.
If nobody is willing to do their job in Congress or DOJ, then nothing happens to the saboteurs. And anyone who exposes the criminals is putting everything at risk.
What is the reason Treason doth prosper?

And I do NOT know why everyone is so exercised about what the FBI did an did not do, what they allowed, and what they overlooked.
Nothing will come of any of it.
If you think Hildebeast or any of her servants will be on trial, you must've forgotten "Oh, you mean like, with a CLOTH?"
The elite never pay.
Never, that is until it all goes Electric Boogaloo.

I left for a few minutes to text one son and email a friend and have apparently fallen back into last night's ONT of music? Did I time travel backwards?
The Beatles arrived when I was a child. But I saw them on Ed Sullivan when my grandmother and parents regarded them as a passing odd fancy needing haircuts. Then Woodstock in junior high.Then a few concerts in HS (Mountain, Allman Brothers...original, Doobie Brothers and 3 Dog Night).
College brought concerts to a higher (heh) level entirely and, man, I had fun!
The early 80's brought our sons and that music in car rides or on the stereo, and I honestly don't think I paid attention to the 90's. We'd moved to FL when they were babies and the Miami Vice vibe with music was big.
Having kids and a job does that to you. So I kept listening to mostly 70's and 80's bands with the kid's rocking in their car seats. Still do.
They then introduced us to Big Band music and jazz in junior high and HS. And here we are, still rocking and happy. Music is part of life and breathe it in. Without it, well, I don't relate.

But I acknowledge its musical form as a cruncher.
Same. I don't love the lyrics, but to quote the Mercury exec who signed Rush, "I put the track on (Working Man), and sure enough it was a motherfucker!".
I love the more acoustic AIC stuff on Tripod and Jar of Flies too. It's a nice changeup from what was becoming their formula.

Blue Note announced yesterday that they will be releasing Horace Silver: Live at the Penthouse (Seattle, WA).
Previously unreleased Live set of Silver and what might have been his best Touring Band.
It is due to come out later this year.

I could.
But, I am one of those completist collectors. Gotta have everything a band ever put out and all that...
unfortunately, that makes my collection ridiculous in size and makes getting back to stuff I don't really love all the more difficult.

Were you at Aloha Stadium in '87, for the SRV, ZZTop, and RunDMC show?
I mean, yeah, some local crap opened and RDMC had just purchased Aerosmith's catalogue, so not terrible, but lent plenty of time for tailgate before SRV & ZZ cleared out the riffraff.
