These Days: Thursday, August 20th, 2015
Movies: Now we have found Nemo we are off to find the giddy and wonderful Dory. “As USA Today described, one scene showed Marlin (Nemo’s dad) telling Dory he knows a guy who can help her find her parents; in another scene, Dory interacts with Hank, who tries to convince her to give him the tag that’s on her fin.”. It will be released June 16, 2016 and I wish they’d hurry up.
The Iran Deal: I’ve supported the deal since the beginning but this is the end of the road if it’s true . AP (not FOXNEWS, Associated Press) reported: ” Iran will be allowed to use its own inspectors to investigate a site it has been accused of using to develop nuclear arms, operating under a secret agreement with the U.N. agency that normally carries out such work.” That is ridiculous, how the hell do you let Iran inspect its own nuclear facility? So I was ready to jump ship and then I read this which seems to say that isn’t the case at all. AP themselves rewrote it three times . “The world pretty much already knows what happened in Parchin. The best-case outcome of inspecting the facility is that we are happily surprised to learn that our suspicions about weaponization work were incorrect. The worst-case, and perhaps more likely, scenario is that inspections end up confirming what we already suspected, but we get a bit more detail on how it went down. To be clear, learning this would not violate or kill the nuclear deal.”
Recorded: I quite liked the Chinx album at first listen, maybe not big time but it is serious stuff and it has a real sound to it. Aided and abated by his murder during a Drive By shooting, it has the realness only death can provide a Gangsta and its punch line, “I pray I be ok when I grow up a little bigger if I don’t, tell my babies daddy was a real nigga” is strong it sent me to the album and it is a real goodie.
Live: I’ve started to work my way through the AC/DC setlist and I will say two things 1- it all sounds exactly the same and 2 -it all sounds absolutely excellent.
News: Let’s here it for Jennifer Weiner in the New York Times on the Ashley Madison crash and burn: “I can’t believe I’m paying the salaries of government workers who weren’t clever enough to get new emails to deceive their spouses.”
President Carter: The 90 year old former President has announced the cancer has spread to his brain.
