Spotted over on Substack. A real ad? That I do not know. But regardless … #TotalTruth 

Not just first time in 30 years but with 50% of the vote. In Miami.
I continue to p3r515t with Plur1bus .. but still not settling into this brain.

"I was once out to dinner several years ago with about ten really well-known drummers, all of whom I have enormous respect for and admire. For some reason, we got onto the subject of Van Morrison. One of them said, “Hands up everyone who’s been fired by Van Morrison!” And nine out of ten put their hands up into the air. The only time I played with him, I wasn’t being paid, so he couldn’t fire me. Things like that definitely bring you together to the brotherhood."

Remarkably average .. I had Guy worked out during his second scene. Keira needed to think more.

I have been so fed up with the slug that my M4 Mac had become around saving files - removing moonlock and clean my mac, stopping electron files from running - strating terminal commands as if my life depended on it. NADA.

What he is writing about is the fuckedupness of what used to be the United States of America.

Good job Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short are all still alive - otherwise they’d be turning in their grave over this remake.
