Comedian Jeff Ross was the opening act for Eddie Vedder at Seattle's Benaroya Hall on Oct. 23, 2023. Eddie announced Jeff's performance but the introduction was mired by technical difficulties but ended up being unintentionally hilarious. Eddie and Jeff, ever the improv experts.

John Mellencamp plays his song "Longest Days" live in concert at the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco, California on March 17, 2023. Longest Days appeared on Mellencamp's twentieth studio album, Life Death Love And Freedom (2008). John Mellencamp is a Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter from Seymour, Indiana. Mellencamp is on tour for his 76-date Live And In Person Tour. Joining him on this song were Andrew York (guitar) and Troye Kinnett (accordion).
=================
Longest Days lyrics:
It seems like once upon a time ago
I was where I was supposed to be
My vision was true and my heart was too
There was no end to what I could dream
I walked like a hero into the setting sun
Everyone called out my name
Death to me was just a mystery
I was too busy raisin' up Cain
But nothing lasts forever
Your best efforts don’t always pay
Sometimes you get sick
And you don’t get better
That’s when life is short
Even in its longest days
So you pretend not to notice
That everything has changed
The way that you look
And the friends you once had
So you keep on acting the same
But deep down in your soul
You know you got no flame
And who knows then which way to go?
Life is short even in its longest days
All I got here
Is a rear view mirror
Reflections of where I’ve been
So you tell yourself, "I’ll be back up on top some day"
But you know there’s nothing waiting up there for you anyway
Nothing lasts forever
And your best efforts don’t always pay
Sometimes you get sick
And you don’t get better
That’s when life is short
Even in its longest days
Life is short
Even in its longest days
Written by John Mellencamp

"No Kings" protests are happening across the country this weekend on Saturday -- with dozens also planned here in Northeast Ohio in Cleveland, Akron, Canton and more -- as demonstrators show their opposition to President Donald Trump and his administration.
"As President Trump escalates his attempts to control us, it is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country," according to the "No Kings" site. "If he believes we will roll over and allow him to take our freedoms, he is mistaken. We are coming together again on March 28 because we know we can overcome this repression when we unite."
In addition to Cleveland, Akron and Canton, local "No Kings" protests are also being held at various times in multiple other Northeast Ohio communities, including Shaker Heights, Parma, Strongsville, Hudson, Cuyahoga Falls, Kent, Alliance, Sandusky, Chardon, North Ridgeville, Avon Lake and more.
This map shows where all of the "No Kings" rallies are happening nationwide.
The "No Kings" site explains their stance for these protests with the following statement: "Masked secret police terrorizing our communities. An illegal, catastrophic war putting us in danger and driving up our costs. Attacks on our freedom of speech, our civil rights, our freedom to vote. Costs pushing families to the brink. Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people - not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies."

Grit & Grace: The Fight for the American Dream is a groundbreaking documentary-style film produced by the U.S. House Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth. Narrated by EMMY® award-winning actress Sarah Jessica Parker, this first-of-its-kind movie features three true stories from across the country of what it means to find economic security in America, as well as the diverse paths people are taking to get there.
While the families featured represent different backgrounds, perspectives, and political leanings, all of them share the same dream of financial stability, as well as gripping stories of struggle, ambition, and hope.
This is the fifth Lorde song I translate (yep, I'm a fan). The first four versions were fairly literal. This one is more political. Ethnic prejudice here in Israel/Palestine is currently going even further out of control than it usually does, and I can't just sit there and watch it happen. Everyone living in this country is on my team, no matter how much they may loath each other.
I used Lorde's imagery and expended on it to question segregation, fear-mongering and hate-mongering, and to promote solidarity and understanding.
The first verse references "Lehava", an extremist Israeli organization which demonizes Palestinian men, presenting them all as sexual predators hungry for Jewish flesh. Ironically, Lehava's propaganda reflects hate speech that was used to demonize my own Jewish ancestors pre-WWII Europe.
Such talk simply worsens the cycle of violence. Sadly, our leaders, and Mr. Netanyahu in particular, fail to condemn hate speech and indeed contribute to it, furthering the harm.
Original song by Ella Yelich-O'connor and Joel little
Hebrew by Yuval Ben-Ami (click cc for English subtitles)
Come and step forth
Leave your hatred at the door
It is no longer of use.
Come prepared to heed
a different call.
Step in, Jewish girls,
You daughters of a king, So graceful
Now, Arab boys,
Step in too, with sugary eyes
And we shall all fall in love
On a cold moonlit night
Dancing among the fears,
Two sides made one,
Even the dead do not incite hate.
We are trapped already as children.
In fenced yards they keep us segregated.
We'll build a palace on the ruins of those lies
And know
We are friends
We are friends
I have no reason to believe
That my neighbor is the devil,
So enough.
I see no reason
not to hold love in both my arms
So enough
So glasses get broken In mixed weddings
And swords are sharpened in the background
They seek the love of God
In hatred, of all things
With flames of death
Not hope.
גש וקרב הלום
השאר בחוץ את שנאותיך
כי אין בהן שימוש יותר
גש בלב מוכן להתמסר
לקול אחר
בואו יהודיות והכנסו בסך
אתן בנות של מלך, אצילות כל כך
עכשיו הערבים, בואו פסעו, עיני סוכר
ונתאהב כולנו בליל ירח קר
ונרקוד סביב הפחדים
צד אחד משני צדדים
אפילו המתים
שנאה לא מציתים
כולאים אותנו, מראש כילדים.
בחצרות מבוצרות אנחנו מופרדים
נקים ארמון על חורבות כל השקרים
ונדע - אנחנו חברים
אין שום סיבה שאאמין שהשכן הוא אשמדאי
אז די
אין שום סיבה שלא אגע באהבה בשתי ידי
אז די
אז נשברות כוסות בחתונות מעורבות
ומרחוק נשמע צחצוח חרבות
את אהבת האל הם מוצאים דווקא באיבה
בלהבותת של מוות, לא תקווה

Desloge Police Officer John Upchurch threatens kid in the parking lot at Family Fun Center in Bonneterre MO. In this Audio you will hear officer Upchurch threaten the life of this 20 year old kid 6 times before the video is over. You can hear him chasing and assaulting him before its over. The officer was off duty at a Party Drinking at the Family Fun Center dressed in his Army Camo Fatigues. You are Hearing ( I will Kill you in public ) over and over. This is a serious crime coming from anyone but coming from a Police Officer makes it so much more REAL. This is the same Police Officer who just got pulled over by the STATE HIGHWAY patrol for a DUI..... No worries though. Hes still working for the Desloge Police Dept.
