Squeeze: Walk a Straight Line

After a brief mid-1980s breakup, Squeeze got back together. It wasn't as good until the first time around.

However, in 1991, when hope was lost, they released Play.

Instead of trying to recreate their past glories, they used a subtle but magical approach.

Here's one of my favorites from that album, "Walk A Straight Line."

Rob Schmitt examines why Colbert 'had to go'

The leftists are still moaning about Stephen Colbert's Late Show getting axed.

So regular people need to be reminded that the alleged comedy program had low ratings and it was losing money. Lots of it.

The Kinks - Around the Dial (Official Audio)

As I posted last week, the Kinks released their final installment of their Journey series. The output from the 1980s doesn't get a lot of love. But here's a definite highlight from the latter end of their career, "Around the Dial" from Give the People What They Want.

This cut harkens back to the time when radio disc jockeys were a force in popular music.

Pay close attention to the radio chatter at the beginning of the cut. 

"By killing the pope, he'd become a hero in the Muslim world."

Try that today!

That bit is about that man who shot Pope John Paul II, Mehmet Ali Ağca, as is the song, "Killer's Eyes," which is also a track on Give the People What They Want.

Faker AOC called out for claiming she grew up in the Bronx but actually lived in tony Westchester County

Not only is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) a dangerous leftwing radical, but she is a fraud too.

The self-described "Bronx girl" actually grew up in suburban Westchester County--a very wealthy area.

I've visited the Bronx and Westchester County--the differences are as stark as the ones between to old East and West Berlin.

Megyn Kelly has more.
