Can we finally move on?

It seems as if nobody can let go of anything anymore... 



Do ya ever find yourself saying 'I wanna run away to some tropical island'?
Well, lemme tell ya. I did, and it ain't all that it's made up to be.

This is the last-known photo of Jimi Hendrix, 
taken on Sept 17th, 1970. 


It's almost impossible for me to believe
 that was almost 50 years ago.

He and his girlfriend Monika Danneman spent the day together, visiting the King’s Road, the Cumberland Hotel and the Kensington Market. By around 2 p.m., he was sitting in a garden area outside the apartment enjoying some tea while Monika took photographs of him holding his favorite Fender Stratocaster guitar that he called the “black beauty”. He died that night...
... 

How fucked up does your own life have to be that you need to do shit like this in public?


 And why would anyone ever wanna apologize for something they didn't do themselves - that someone they don't know or aren't related to mighta done 160 years ago? What the fuck is wrong with these people?
... 

...  


Does anyone in today's world even know what these are? 
...

If this guy isn't one of the biggest political tools you've ever heard of, who is?


New York City's number one fuckin' moron  - 
Hizzoner' Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday his biracial daughter has previously confronted him about his “white privilege.”  Could you imagine YOUR kid ever having the balls to do something like that?

“She would talk to me about my own white privilege … she’s usually right,” de Blasio said of his 25-year-old daughter, Chiara, during a TIME 100 Talks virtual event focusing on how leaders are responding to the overlapping global crises of social injustice and coronavirus.

“Usually her underlying impulse with me having to come to grips with something over many, many years has usually been right,” said the mayor, explaining that he has “started to be open to my own privilege.”  De Blasio — who during the talk spoke of Chiara’s recent arrest during a Manhattan protest over the Minneapolis police-involved killing of George Floyd — also called for the NYPD sergeants union to be “fully investigated” for leaking Chiara’s arrest report containing personal information on Twitter.


“It was an attack on her. It was an attack on us. It was an attack on democracy,” de Blasio said of the Sergeants Benevolent Association’s action in posting the May 31 arrest report.


Musta been a lotta fun growin' up in THAT house...

You know how much I despise the news media. At least with these guys ya knew it was bullshit and ya went with it anyway.
... 

Speaking of 'bullshit', there's this:


I ALWAYS knew those buttons were bullshit. This one just 'kinda' fell off
These things are as useless as the ones at the crosswalks.

Across the country, how many cops ya think put in for retirement or just plain quit in the last two weeks?

'Filmed before a live audience'. 
It was an impressive show.

Can ya imagine what this musta felt like for these kids? 
What an incredible rush it must have been?

I like this Banksy guy - know who he is?



Banksy said this yesterday about that slave trader statue the protesters in England threw in the bay last week:

What should we do with the empty plinth in the middle of Bristol? Here’s an idea that caters for both those who miss the Colston statue and those who don’t.
We drag him out the water, put him back on the plinth, tie cable round his neck and commission some life size bronze statues of protestors in the act of pulling him down. Everyone happy. A famous day commemorated.

Does anyone anywhere have any balls anymore? 
Asking for a friend...

I had honest to God hoped we were through with 
having this fuckin' guy in our face every day.

My wife bought one for the kitchen and I like it

  1. There sure is some insanity going on today, it can't all be the side affects of big pharma's drugs like it is with the crazy shooters... I'm thinking the 24/7 media has something to do with it. On the other hand it's not everyday you see Mr. Natural on a a page anymore!
    Those people prostrating themselves for something that happened 8+ generations back? With 24/7 msm coverage and modern studies of how people work they really can sell ice boxes to Eskimos!

  2. You started off with a mystery- which, since I grew up with grandparents, aunts & uncles all watching Lawrence Welk on TV, I can easily solve!

    Here's one of the mainstays of that show:
