These Days: Tuesday, December 8th, 2015
Race For the Presidency: I wonder at what stage of the game it is time to worry about Donald Trump. I just can’t take him seriously.

Recorded: Tomas Doncker’s eagerly anticipated The Mess We Made is on Spotify as we speak. A throwback to the Tuesday jump! Otherwise, I gave The River another spin getting ready for tickets going on sale on Sunday.
Live: All Jingle Ball all the time this week, I’m telling you pop pickers. Can’t wait for the Weeknd!
Television: Speaking of Bruce, I caught his “The Ties That Bind” and can’t say I noted a single bastard revelation. Essentially, an hour long infomercial.
Movies: I like this Star Wars tit bit from NYT: “The film isn’t showing until Dec. 17 and plenty of tickets are left, but to more than 100 people in Hollywood, the vigil is part of the experience.”
More Trump: Trump could be the best thing that happened to the GOP, he forces them back to the center. Here is House Speaker Paul Ryan: “This is not conservatism,What was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for and, more importantly, it’s not what this country stands for.”
Death: Holly Woodlawn, inspiration for Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side”, dies aged 69

if the alternative is Trump, undoubtedly
