Another busy week. A question for you  all, The IRS handed down a fine for illegal political contributions made by which foundation? a) Clintton Foundation or b) Trump Foundation?

What is Trumps position regards Mexico? Wednesday left me confused.

Does clinton have a memory problem?

Known for (what the band likes to call) Modern Classic Rock, Neon Alley takes you back to an era when Rock wasn’t about making a quick buck, but about songs written and performed from the heart.

I will be talking to David Vaccaro about his new venture Neon Alley, It is loud, it is brash, it is exactly what Classic Rock should be.

The fight for the White House gets stranger and strnger by the hour. The Trumpers and Trumpettes want Clinton in jail. The Clinton supporters are shouting from the rooftops that Trump is unfit to host a childrens birthday paty at Chucky Cheese, never mind be CIC.

The polls are showing one clear thing, the electorate do not like either of them. 75% are voting for someone because they just hate the other one.

This begs the question, is 2016 going to see a record turn out? Record high or record low?

The Trump roundabout of who is running his campaign continuues. The Olympics are concluding, Clinton fights to shake off 'them damn emails'.

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Billy Livesay and his band The Livesays will be releasing their new album “Hold On... Life Is Calling” on October 3, 2016! Memorable pop-rock tunes, soulful vocals, wailing slide guitar and riveting live performances are The Livesays signature. Best known for his work with Bruce Springsteen sax legend Clarence Clemons, Billy Livesay's new album is an exciting collection of Neo-Classic Rock gems born, raised and developed in the heat of south Florida.

Much to the excitement of music fans worldwide, alternative Christian blues rock guitarist singer/songwriter Lloyd Miller will be releasing his new EP titled “Light Is Rising” on July 9, 2016! This is Lloyd's sophomore release and once again shares a message of inspiration and hope.

Prog duo Middlesong has release a new three-song EP titled “Directions” featuring YES legend Billy Sherwood. With Joe Schneider (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Phil Tomczak (keyboards, guitars), Middlesong has heavy Prog and Classic Rock influence, along with hints of Folk, Pop and Americana. Middlesong's eclectic sources produce a universal sound that musicians and non-musicians will appreciate!

Our weekly look at politics  and current events. Trump has had yet another bumpy week, with most of the problems being self inflicted. Clinton seems to have taked a page out of the Trump playbook, don't let the facts get in the way of the story.

All eyes are on Rio for the Olympic games, and true to form NBC has irked viewers by timr delaying the broadcast of the opening ceremony. Will they never learn?

Much has been made of the Dem and Gop conventions. But does any of it matter? I read a rather interestng comment by my son who lives in Canada. He extolled the virtues of the canadian system which is a 6 party rather than 2 party system. As this creates a situation where there can never be a clear majority the waring factions are forced to work together. We alas prefer gridlock.

Can anything change this?

It has been a busy week. It was revealed what ailes Fox News, The GOP had their convention, unfortunately most of the press coverage involved Melania Trumps borrowed speach and Ted Cruz's un-endorsement of Trump. The Dems kick off their Conventions on monday, and already there are issues, DNC Debbie seems to be in trouble.
