It's been a couple of weeks.Last week, I couldn't even.This week, I'll give it the ol' college try.Welcome to 3 Chords & the Truth. Some weeks, I feel like I'm playing music in the darkness and hoping for the best. This week, I feel like I'm playing music in the darkness inside an insane asylum.Such is life in the United States -- and inside a red state in the United States -- these days. And here I am doing a freeform radio show on the Internet. Congress is paralyzed, thanks to the Rabid Weasels Eating People's Faces Party . . . now engaged in eating one another's faces.Normally, the sight of that would be highly gratifying. But we really could use a legislature right now, when Hamas terrorists are beheading Israeli babies, and the whole Middle East is a powder keg in the middle of a bonfire.I can't even. But I'll try here on the Big Show.For so many reasons, I can't even. For so many reasons, I have to try.Shalom.It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.
