AOC breaks silence with desperate meltdown after humiliating word salads in Munich

Conservatives have been wise to the fact that US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an intellectual lightweight, but the mainstream media has been cheering her on anyway.

But thanks to some recent word salads and late night ramblings, we've been proven right. Again.

We're still not tired of winning.

Van Morrison on the Midnight Special: Domino

In the 1970s, as variety shows faded from the television scene and cable was in its infacy, rock music found a safe harbor on late night weekend TV. 

One show of note was NBC's Midnight Special

Van Morrison appeared on it in 1977, performing his hit from earlier in the decade, "Domino."

'GETTING IT ALL WRONG!': Fury over Mamdani's tax hike plan

New Yorkers, you were warned. And you didn't listen. 

As they old saying goes, you made your bed, now sleep in it.

And for the dopes who say to themselves, "I rent, I don't own property, this will cost me nothing," well, you have a lot to learn.

ABC7's Leah Hope relives terrifying moment man attacked her in Loop: 'I was fighting for my life'

For starters, repeal the SAFE-T Act!

But of course, the media, not Ms. Hope, and most of the politicians in Chicago and the rest of Illinois tell us not to worry, because crime is down.

The Kinks - Victoria (Official Audio)

Although it was released years ago, I'm currently watching the Victoria miniseries on Netflix, which is, as you probably guessed, about Great Britain's Queen Victoria. 

Which got me thinking about the Kinks' classic tune which opens their Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) album, "Victoria."

This song is much more historically accurate than the miniseries.

T-Bone Burnett: Hold on Tight

Most music aficionados know T-Bone Burnett for his monumental production work for acts including Elvis Costello, the Bodeans, John Mellencamp, and so many more.

But he's a singer and songwriter too--and his output is also great.

Not shockingly, his own works has a power pop and Americana feel. "Hold on Tight" from his Americana album is a representative piece of work from this gifted artist.

'COMPLETE LUNATICS': Hosts stunned by anti-ICE agitators' new tactic in Minnaeapolis

The radicals in Minneapolis have set up their own checkpoints. Just like the cops they say they hate.

As they say, deep inside, or maybe not so deep inside, every liberal is a fascist screaming to be set free.

Buddy Holly & The Crickets "Oh Boy!" on The Ed Sullivan Show

Februrary 3 will bring yet another anniversary of "the Day the Music Died," when Buddy Holly, along with the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens, died in a plane crash outside Clear Lake, Iowa.

Holly had a huge influence on the British Invasion bands, particularly the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Kinks. The Lubbock, Texas singer and songwriter was once seen as one of the giants of early rock and roll, but around 1990, that changed. I suspect reverse racism, as not only was Holly white, but he sounded "white," unlike Elvis Presley. 

You can't hate the media enough.

But Holly was a giant, who wrote many of his hits, which became expected of rock artists once the Beatles and Bob Dylan became superstars. 

Dylan, by the way, saw Holly perform in Minnesota on the tour that brought him to his last gig in Iowa.

Here's Holly and the Crickets on the Ed Sullivan Show singing "Oh Boy!"

Mumford & Sons - Winter Winds

Here's a fun song about winter from Mumford & Sons. As for the video, it's good, but winter in England is a lot different that winter in the Midwest, where I live.

I mean, where is the snow?

The Jam - Smithers-Jones

Here's an underrated song from, if you live in America, a very underrated band, the Jam. Bruce Foxton wasn't the principal songwriter for the Band, Paul Weller was, but this tune, "Smithers-Jones," ranks among the best of the Jam's portfolio.

Foxton tells the sad story of Smithers-Jones, a middle manager who is not only laid off by his aloof boss, but then he learns his career is over as well.

Sadly, I know some people who have received the Smithers-Jones treatment.

This is the original version of "Smithers-Jones" was a B-Side to the British hit "When You're Young."
It was recorded for the Jam's Setting Sons album, with strings and vocals only, along the lines of "Eleanor Rigby." 

The first cut works the best. Never out-Beatle the Beatles.

Manfred Mann - The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo) (1968)

Christmas, unless you are an Orthodox Christian, is in the rear-view mirror. But the weather is still cold, at least it is where I live.

So, in the spirit, here is a cold temperature tune, Manfred Mann's cover of Bob Dylan's "The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)."

Besides Manfred, another member of this version Manfred Mann band was Klaus Voormann, a friend of the Beatles from their days in Hamburg.

Happy New Year!
