Stuff I'm Listening To (8/22/23 -- All Ron All The Time

I think it’s Tuesday and my brain is uncomfortably full from the media I’ve consumed this week about what a cruel bonehead Ron DeSantis is (The Daily – Inside the Sputtering Campaign of Ron DeSantis; Pod Save America –  The JV Republican Debate; Behind the Bastards – Part One: Ron DeSantis: Florida Man; and a quick go fuck yourself at the top of The Dollop – E596 Slave Thomas H. Jones). 

It should be illegal to want to be president. Or like, troubling instead of commendable. Debate questions should be: Who didn’t love you? Are you running for president or from the void? The song “Is That All There Is,” tell us what it means to you?

[I just played Tony Bennet’s version of “Is That All There Is” for research even though Peggy Lee’s is untouchable. Now Spotify is killing it, giving me more sad jazz and then even sadder jazz. It’s extra tinny coming out of my phone speakers and I’m imagining me and Migo slow dancing forever in the Gold Ballroom at The Overlook Hotel to “Moonlight Serenade.” Even if I had to wear a dress, eternity with ghouls sounds lovelier than any more time with Tiny D.]
