you’ve no doubt seen (many times) this week the 2023 video of Vice President Kamala Harris emerging from a Washington DC’s HR Records brandishing albums by Charles Mingus and Roy Ayers.  Not to be outdone (?), GOP VP hopeful JD Vance was revealed to be a longstanding fan of allegedly funny duo Ween and directorial auteur Zach Braff. None of these are especially compelling reasons to support either candidate, though as much as I hate to be a single issue voter, I would look somewhat favorably on anyone who pledged to eliminate and/or outlaw Ween.  It doesn’t have to be a drone strike, maybe just a house arrest scenario that keeps them away from recording gear or tour buses. Just throwing that out there if anyone’s mulling a third party run.
