I can’t stop thinking about how I saw Jamaicans struggle with choosing data on their phones over food. I kept thinking that eventually that day would come for the average American. I have seen the homeless with laptops and smartphones. I have a homeless friend that depends on social media as an escape from his …
My next single that Tuff Gong International is distributing! Badj Whipple said he designed with a Joe Gibbs 70s vibe. My pal took this photo at a surf club just outside Kingston when we were shooting a video with pwile chile . More to come… Much love to Ashley McDonald from KEXP for debuting the …
Part of why I try to explain what I learn each day and put into context is because if you can’t explain something, did you really learn it? If you can’t apply it, where is the value? You’ll just get fooled again…and again. Today I dug into Friedrich Nietzsche’s idea of Supermen. You can be …
This is a nightmare. I better come out of this thing like Robert f☆cking Johnson. Not the dead version. Well at least Woody Guthrie. Not the one Bob Dylan sang to in a hospital bed. There a few possible outcomes and endless variations. At a certain point as touring and venues either collapse or stay …
You know what bugs me every single day and says to me that nobody is really at the wheel? The dog sh☆t lie that musicians are non essential. Not essential to what? Art is what keeps people alive. It’s essentially suicide prevention. People don’t want to admit it, and some people don’t know it, but …
For Biden to win in November he needs to deliver what he said Bernie could not. The former Vice President must do this after killing Bernie’s campaign like Wellington and the Coalition that brought down Napoleon: No… more like Lyndon B Johnson signing overdue Civil Rights legislation after JFK was killed by the interests of …
Supervillains create problems only they have the solution to fix. Ok, here is the antidote. Putin is the master of this in our generation. Only he can stop the civil war in the Ukraine he created. What a peacemaker? This is the age of Supervillians. An era when so called Evangelicals pass around memes with …
Boris Johnson, England’s version of Donald Trump, who has made a career of playing dumb as a diversion to his blatantly racist statements and policies, has been moved to intensive care for Covid 19. Not so long ago, Johnson declared England should get on with it and infect each other to build immunity. Now he …
So we sell “Stacy’s Mom” weed as a tribute to the Fountains Of Wayne tune about that attainable and somewhat available Red Hot Momma. The thing is, the songwriter and bassist Adam Schlesinger just died at the age of 52 from Covid 19. Everyone who sees this strain starts singing the song. A nurse came …
Trump plays checkers. All he does is jump back and forth over people and then he says, “King me”. He’s not sophisticated. He just makes a huge commotion, and while he steals what ever used to be headlines, his accomplices steal more sh☆t while nobody’s looking. Stop acting like it’s more complicated than that. When …
If destroying the dominance of the American dollar was your game, Donald Trump is your name. In less than four years he not only undid what Obama rightly did, he is taking it back. Way back. Way past Eisenhower. He’s going back to Hoover. The American dollar is now backed by Trump Steaks and sweat …
I have seen a few of my stock market worshipping friends post about how much money there is to be made of this disaster as markets “inevitably” rally as this virus “fades” and things go back to “normal”. But what they don’t understand about disaster capitalism is that history is undefeated and there is a …
Let’s pick a day for Grandparents Day and found it on the fact that many of us stood up for the idea of not killing Grandpa and Grandma. …and some of we’re all for it, on the outside chance it might improve our 401k situation and there was some inheritance involved. Lets pick a day …
When you see the National Guard ask yourself why we had not been using that energy to solve the greatest National Security challenges of our time, 1) Education 2) Healthcare Imagine where we could be if we were a physically and mentally stronger nation. That’s not even dealing with infrastructure and how much harder it …
What time are we getting quarantined here in Washington? You name it, you win the first the first jar of BBQ Sauce The Staxx Brothers produce. It’s going to be delicious. And it’s about to get way more weird. People came in the shop and I asked people how they felt. They for the most …
Tonight I am going to do what I always do. I’m going to put on my headphones that I oft cover with a turkey bag for a good swim. I’m going lace up my fake Jordans. Then I’m going to run four kilometers. I slap this sign marking Providence Hospital and then I turn around, …
Debate: Biden says we need Emergency Socialism. Bernie says we aren’t ready for this crisis because we haven’t adopted Democratic Socialism. Either way, nobody can do a god damn thing without using social services and socialism to help us in the crisis. Are you ready for a New Deal yet? How about Universal Healthcare? Are …
Trump is sneering at us all like he already had the vaccine. Just spit shaking everybody’s hands, …spit roastin’ the biggest lies he can about made up websites that unlike Obama’s are better than his by not even existing…yet. You ever look in the eye of a guy that doesn’t care who lives and who …
People be like “just stay home for two weeks and self quarantine” But that’s not how America works. That’s how Bernie Sanders’ America works. But America just wants to project that we are a livable country full of livable wages. But the truth is that a lot of people that have been talking a lot …
Which pro athletes are getting still paid and which ones are going to going to be selling off those mansions? The money gets sucked up from the lower and middle class, some of it trickles it will down. The bread, the wine, …but Romans, they have cancelled The Circus. It’s going to be a strange …
Trump is trying to lose Obama’s money this weekend. He’s on a bender, sponsored by 4Loko and The Seven Hundred Club. “If I am going to lose my stock market gains, so is the Kenyan.” This is a fever dream. I hadn’t seen the Evening News in years. I thought I was listening to Bowie’s …
In times of crisis people are often driven towards the God as a concept and a belief. Lennon once sang, “God is a concept By which we measure Our pain I’ll say it again God is a concept By which we measure Our pain” Part of why Americans have parted ways with organized religion in …
When MAGA folks telling me something is a Nothing Burger, I wonder how they packed in so much treason and vice into a single patty that tastes like 100% USDA certified Neofascist bullsh☆t. Who the f☆ck would even describe something as a Nothing Burger? That is some of the weirdest most suspect mind programmed “are …
The True Socialists are on Wall Street and They’re not the Democratic Kind, by Davin Michael Stedman
As the stock market tanks we have a real opportunity to make a much more important correction to our economy. The stock market is based on the faith of Billionaires in how much money they can extract from the people of the United States while limiting their exposure to such dangers as increasing wages and …
My pal and hopefully yours Spikey Tee just dropped another anticipated album, Between Wake and Sleep. I got to perform with Spikey Tee at Neumos and we have been in touch ever since, as his music and his carries him around the world. I am going to catch another one of his shows someday. And …
Things you think about during the opening ceremonies of a potential Pandemic. The money. Wash your hands they say. Don’t touch your eyes they say. But every minute a cashier is handling a different person’s money. Depositing it into a register with everyone else’s money. Touching everyone’s ID. Crowds gather to a Costco to gather …
This is the most epic Primary I have ever seen. Buckle up. Last time sure we were all attacked by Russian bots and Trolls and half the Country and the Puppet in Chief denies it. But Bernie yet again entered a page in Hip Hop history. Why did Flava Flav get kicked out of Public …
So you think Biden has the African American vote. That’s cool. Maybe he’ll do a concert with a major African American act like 98 Degrees. I saw Rage and Ozomatli rocking out in protest at the Democratic Convention in the year 2000. Bernie is sharing the stage with Chuck f☆cking D and Public Enemy. This …
Front row seats at The Democratic debate last night were $1,750. Not quite Rage Against The Machine pricing. But you can bet that there won’t be any Social Democrats in the front row there either. The fix is in and it is backfiring. In other countries they can just turn off the internet. The real …
My favorite part about the one inevitable show down between Bernie and Trump, is that never before have we seen a better example in modern American times of David vs Goliath. Trump has Mother Russia, the courts, The Trolls, the Super Pacs, The Military, The Sheriffs, the RNC, a football to launch Nukes, a Billlion …
