Guitarist Roy Gaines, born this day in 1937, got his start backing up T-Bone Walker at the tender age of 14. Gaines in 1999 put out an album called I Got The T-Bone Walker Blues. Here he is with "Stormy Monday" off of that album:
> "[A] cluster of opinions about race, ecology, feminism, culture and foreign policy defines a kind of ‘correct’ attitude toward the problems of the world" [this is also a definition of woke.] ibid
He further noted something that is as true today within the woke community as it was in 1991 PC culture:
> "growing intolerance, a closing of debate, a pressure to conform to a radical program or risk being accused of a commonly reiterated trio of thought crimes: sexism, racism and homophobia." ibid
(Please note that I have a problem with the terminology and the castigation of those who aren't 100% bought-in and not the goals and desired ends of the actions themselves. I might not think of myself as woke but I do consider myself as having empathy and a thoughtful human being deeply opposed to sexism, racism, homophobia (and xenophobia, religious bigotry, violence and cruelty, "America First...") and have taken to the streets in protest like so many others.

"Yes. He lost a gig hosting trivia at a bar. Can you imagine?"
Oh, the humanity. Poor Ryan Zickgraf for having his right to host a trivia night in a bar snatched out from under him. His rights were abused, and this must be addressed. I highly suggest he get in contact with the "Center for American Liberty" (“…civil liberties of Americans left behind by civil rights legacy organizations”) or the "National Civil Liberties Union" (“we actually fight for the constitutional rights of all Americans”)
Is it cancelling the police when you bear spray them in the face and stab them with a flag pole in the service of a fascist takeover of a 200 year old democracy then get a pardon and possibly some millions for doing it?
Pre-heat the oven. Strip off his clothes, especially the shoes, and truss him up. Scrub carefully to remove all traces of shoe polish and leather soap. Gut and skewer. Serves 9.
it's just possible **just** that they stumbled onto to financial malfeasance on her part, and are running with it, selective prosecution style. But I really seriously doubt it.
I thought Woke One was the name of the spacecraft that Luke Skywalker and Han Solo eloped in after they realized they couldn’t quit each other.
At my age half the people in my phonebook are dead, I'll clean that up later.
Point being, my butt hurts.
I’d pay real money to watch a debate between this writer guy and AOC.
That's mysandry!

Here he is with "Hoodoo" from the mid-50s. It was originally recorded for Groove Records, but wasn't released for fifty-odd years:

"because wokeness was the great force animating culture and politics in the decade roughly between 2013 and 2023."
Woke is only the current name for an old concept. Before woke was politically correct:
> "For more than a year, the U.S. media have been preoccupied with “political correctness” and the threat it supposedly poses to free and other accepted liberal values. The attack on “political correctness” in universities has focused on affirmative action, multiculturalism, feminism, gay rights... [Sure sounds like DEI, no?]" https://inthesetimes.com/article/wokeness-political-correctness-dirtbag-left-capitalism-pc-cancel-identity-politics
Richard Bernstein, a neocon, defined PC as:
> "[A] cluster of opinions about race, ecology, feminism, culture and foreign policy defines a kind of ‘correct’ attitude toward the problems of the world" [this is also a definition of woke.] ibid
He further noted something that is as true today within the woke community as it was in 1991 PC culture:

There's no evidence that happened!
That’s different because

No, that’s just reminding them this country respects White Power, not Police Power.
I'm failing to see the difference here.
My wife has no sense of humor. . .
*texting with my wife today while she was at work*
Me: How do you roast a cobbler?
Her: What? No. First of all, you HAVE to use a recipe.
Her: Look in my desserts binder by the microwave.
Her: Use the peaches, not the apples, they're starting to go bad.
Her: Check in the cabinet by the fridge for most of the spices you'll need.
Her: PREHEAT the oven. Keep an eye on the timer. Don't let it burn.
Me: You make fun of his shoes! Get it? HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Her: I hate you.
Pre-heat the oven. Strip off his clothes, especially the shoes, and truss him up. Scrub carefully to remove all traces of shoe polish and leather soap. Gut and skewer. Serves 9.
I hate you, too!
That was terrible.
I want my money back. And the seconds I spent reading that.

Oh, this could be a hell of a show.

Trump has TODD now ... expect nothing but litigation to appease the dipshit and protect him.
Man, they wanna do full on nazism so fucking bad.
What do you mean wannado? They are doing it. Some of us are fleeing the country.
and some of us are prepping for what happens next.
they're pretty much there.
You'd think they were subject to the Chinese cultural revolution... fucking babies.
They would benefit from Reconstruction Reeducation Camps…where they catch up on all the Woke they have missed.
