Please Rid us of this Pestilence, Oh yeah, the Virus too...

The current President of the USA suggested that maybe folks should think about injecting household disinfectants into their lungs to treat, or prevent, Covid-19. Folks, dare I say it, please, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!

The current President of the USA is impossibly, tragically, dangerously, ridiculously, prodigiously, mind-bogglingly, STUPID! I mean, really, diabolically stupid doesn't quite capture the depths of complete nullity that must be the brain-matter of this pathetic human specimen. Brain? What brain?

One wonders, can the 25th Amendment be invoked for someone too tragically stupid to hold the office that they happen to hold? A worried, concerned nation turns it's lonely eyes to someone, anyone, in charge. Is there anyone in charge? Please, help rid us of this horrible pestilence. Oh yeah, and please rid us of the virus too...

The a.m. soundtrack - Ikue Mori - "The Painted Desert" (1995). A fabulous instrumental record. Ikue Mori is a Japanese drummer/percussionist collaborating here with two amazing and distinctive guitarists: Robert Quine & Marc Ribot. So good. The cover of the record sets the tone. Wide open spaces. Desert landscape music. Some of the music is mellow, some tracks build to an intense frenzy. A calm breeze then a major dust storm. A superb record. Three musicians really connecting and creating unique sounds. A blast of warm desert air.
