So why is gas prices falling?
It ain't because of Biden - or if it is "helping", the draining of our strategic oil reserves is not necessarily a great idea.
Nope. It's about reduced demand and "Substitution."
And, of course, speaking of Jeff Lynne.
Xanadu.
I loved it. Still do, warts and all.
It was my introduction to... Well, you know.
RIP, fair lady.
A musical toot.
Cause lots of ya'll are stressed.
I love Jeff Lynne's music.
Ironically, I didn't discover his music because of ELO.
I discovered it because of an album he produced for Roy Orbison.
Mystery Girl.
My dad had it, and I lost my shit the first time I heard it. I put two and two together and started collecting ELO albums. And everything else he did.
Here's a compilation of songs Jeff did for other artists. including Roy, George, Tom, and more.

So, I'm a YUGE fan of the Breaking Bad "Universe".
Better Call Saul has two eps left. The newest had appearances from Walt and Jesse.
It also had a wonderful montage with a song I thought I recognized.
They used the demo in the episode.
Mike Nesmith.
It was a Monkees song, pared down to its very essence.
Here it is.
RIP, Mike.

So the Biden Admin is like "Nope, no recession here."
A recent poll showed that 63% of folks surveyed don't believe that, and think we are in a recession.
Today, leftie mag The Atlantic posts an article "How to be Happy in a Recession."
All these people can fuck right off.
In the future, Advanced AI technology will attempt to recreate long lost musicals.
Like Hamilton.
The results are 98.33% accurate.
Ladies and gentlemen...
Axe-Assassin Albertson.
Today's Trek Toot.
Rod Roddenberry is a whore, living off his father's ideas and legacy.
He takes offense at The Shat criticizing nuTrek.
He also has a producer credit on all NuTrek.
Follow the money.
Nuff said.
