Loved Steven Van Zandt in LILIHAMMER on NETFLIX. Playing a character that parodies his Sopranos role of Silvio Dante.

back when we were both in a fan group for an American Idol contestant. We met up at concerts. They are both kind, smart people. I cherish the memories.

For some reason every time I see Stevie Van Zandt’s name my brain instantly replaces that with “Stevie Ray Vaughan” who lamentably passed away in a tragic air crash long ago.

So, when I first saw the headline of his story my immediate thought was, “how did Stevie Ray Vaughan give representative Raskin anything?”

Now that I’m back to reality I love the story. Raskin is a true American hero and deserves all the good that comes his way.

Rep. Raskin- after your hair is back, you don't have to give up the bandana completely! I think it rather suits you... and keeps the head warmer in cold weather, too.
Rock on!

I saw the Beach Boys in SoCal last year and the first thing Mike Love did when he came onto stage was to bitch about Governor Newsom because of Covid restrictions. I was sitting near the front and flipped him off for at least five minutes straight and I know he saw me. Just play the music, asshole.

What's extra funny is now Rep Raskin is wearing a bandana from a liberal musician, Steven, who's often played in Bruce's E St Band... another liberal musician!

It's stickin' it to those Repuglicans! 😄 🎤🎸🎤🎸🔊🎶🎵
