>>hauling her five kids to Martha’s Vineyard every summer to “restore our Yankee credentials”
Liberal elitism.
I guess Trump isn't "Hitler" anymore.
Lefty or not, he gave us some great tunes.
“ Before he wrote his pivotal album Sweet Baby James during a stint in a psychiatric hospital. Before his marriage to Carly Simon, which opened up his personal life – including his long battle with heroin addiction – ”

A former heroin addict troubadour is always my first go-to for intelligent political thought.
Before mass media, actors and pop musicians were seen as entertainers only, not serious people. Mass media has given them a mass audience and huge money, and suddenly they are geniuses to morons.
But what the heck, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom back in 2015 by Obama so he must be a great person............/barf
Remember when Kerry hauled him over to Paris? Cringe.
Hurry up and die James.

So, he’s the male Yoko...
If anyone is interested besides me .... here is the quote that explains the headline
