On one hand you have some of the best political comedy and satire in years. On the other it's like watching an incredibly horrifying reality show filled with Russian spies and hookers, nazis and wingnuts everywhere. What will the candied yam commander do next? I find myself tuning in to see the next outrage. It's like rubbernecking a car wreck. you just have to look. www.rockcast.us 1. Sky Bombers - Always Complaining 2. The Shins - Half A Million 3.

The likes I have never seen before and I lived through the Nixon years. Ex generals lying about getting cozy with the Russians is but the tip of the iceberg. Fake news is everywhere. Calling it alternative facts is only a fancy way of not saying it's a lie. If not the truth it is a lie. Period. The gov'ment seems more interested in feuding via social media with the cast of Saturday night live than getting to work on our problems. One positive gleamed from the situation is that the pundits and comedians have no shortage of material to work with on a hourly basis. I have found myself tuning into the lame stream media more than usual just to see what the man who looks like he sleeps in a Cheetos bag is up to. If you like it or not he is the man at large and in charge for the next three years eleven months at the very least. He won the job and I would like to see him succeed but not at the expense of the poor and legal immigrants and minorities. Every new report is another step backwards. We're taking so many steps backwards, already it looks like we are all moonwalking. www.rockcast.us 1. The Heavy - WTF 2. Conquerors - Turn Me To Stone 3.

I just happened to notice for what ever reason this didn't post on time. The winter here in H town is so warm it feels already like summer. Temps hovering in the low 80's should be a welcome sight to visitors from some frozen northern city. Houston is putting it's best foot forward to insure all visitors have a fine time.

The significance of the 13th day of the month falling on a Friday appears to be fading away like memories of the last century. Fear of Friday the 13th goes back centuries and pure ignorance has kept it going all this time. I personally have always considered it a lucky day for myself. Being born on a Friday probably shaped my views as a young kid. Most folk wouldn't even noticed if lame stream media wasn't in the practice of doom and gloom and trying to bum us out at every turn. Triskaidekaphobia is defined as the extreme fear of the number 13. So it's more about the number than the day anyway. Believe me, you are safe to go about your normal daily routine. Just don't step on that crack in the sidewalk. it could break your Mama's back. Enjoy. www.rockcast.us 1. Montrose - On My Mind 2. Night Ranger - Somehow Someway 3.
