Everything is always about him. He can’t help himself.
“I’m here to support the great people of Louisiana. It’s been a great state for me,” [Trump] said in Lake Charles. It was a tremendously powerful storm.”
Let’s get rid of the narcissist jerk, so we won’t have to hear the word “tremendous” so much anymore.
As I have mentioned more than a few times, I consider myself very fortunate to have followed Musicradio 77 WABC-AM in New York, and then WBCN-FM in Boston, at their respective best — 1963-68 in Connecticut, then after my family moved to Massachusetts, 1968-73. After I left for college in Western Massachusetts my ‘BCN listening was limited to home visits. I was influenced equally by both stations, despite their radically different formats, with ‘BCN being outright radical. I am finally watching WBCN And The American Revolution and, at the halfway point through the documentary, it has my unreserved recommendation.

Speaking of WABC, the big news is that COUSIN BRUCIE IS RETURNING TO WABC on September 5! He has left SiriusXM, where he was heard for 15 years, compared to his original 11-year run on WABC.
Back on August 16 I posted a shout-out from the King of Jingles, Jon Wolfert. Cousin Brucie will be joining Jon TOMORROW, 8/30, starting at 3 PM ET on Rewound Radio. The link is over on the left, as always, and you can be sure I’ll be tuning in!
A segment with some true Trump believers on yesterday’s “All Things Considered” had me shaking my stiff neck. A participant named Paul stated, “When a governor says they are more okay with people dying than the president doing something good, then we’ve got problems.” He was immediately challenged and had to admit, with apparent humor, that “No, no, no, no one said those words.” What can be done about such a person, who is so enamored of Trump that he lies like him? Paul then goes on to say, “Looking at the state of the nation right now, we’re recovering at such a rate that we’re already better than we were when Trump initially took office.” Economically this is absolutely not true.
Whenever it is that Democrats once again control both houses of Congress and the White House, how will Republicans react if the President says, “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president,” and acts accordingly? By following Trump, Republicans are setting themselves up for the potential of extreme and unrelenting payback. Fortunately for them, if Biden wins he isn’t that kind of guy.
Colbert is seriously, and rightly, outraged. Trump must go.
Saturday is this year’s delayed Record Store Day. It’s actually the first of three RSD’s. This is the LP I am looking forward to getting. It’s produced by those 60’s Pop music mavens, Andrew Sandoval and Steve Stanley.
Unfortunately, the record store I patronize for RSD is skipping the first day. Steve Stanley says his favorite record store isn’t participating at all! I can place an order and, assuming the store can snag one of the 2000 pressings, I’ll pick it up on September 26. In the meantime, I’ve ordered the CD edition from Amazon.
Ya know, when I started this web log (14 years ago on Sept. 5), a primary motivation was learning about WordPress and all of the software components that make it work. Eventually the platform became stable, and I guess I got spoiled, because I’m not looking forward to tackling a new technical mess that Bluehost has warned me is coming. I’ll try to motivate myself to make everything right before the automatic updates screw up the site, but if I don’t manage to do that, then www.dograt.com will be gone for a while.
