The normalization and rationalization of the often authoritarian, erratic and nonsensical behavior and policies of the Trump administration by most of the business, media, and political elites shows how shallow the support for democracy, let alone liberal democracy, always was in this country.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

This is nuts. If you’re going to operate like that, go to by appointment only (and no one will bother you again). I’ve been in a couple spots where they press you for your interests but always in SERVICE of helping you navigate a large or largely cluttered shop.

Looking in mine, if there's any obvious weak link it's the solder connection to the ground lug on the microphone-side connector. this and the fact that the ground is the only thing both sides share is all I can really think of.
J.M. Hart (rowjimmy) (@jmhart.bsky.social) reply parent
Oof. I use my single channel one a LOT. All those solder points look okay from here though I’m sure you can see better irl. I might go so far as to try and trace the circuits with a tester but it’s honestly crazy that both channels would quit given their independence.

So, coming out of "Night on the Town", and really midway through it, Bruce is basically launching out on his own. Classic songwriting slowly starts to fray into something a lot bigger and free-er.
J.M. Hart (rowjimmy) (@jmhart.bsky.social) reply parent
Big swing. If you look at the credits on the three 'Range' albums you'll see that the bulk of the songs were co-written with his brother John. I saw Bruce at an in-store in '98(?) and when he was asked when there would be another 'Range' record he said, "When my brother starts writing again."

The early electric stuff is full of subtle wizardry but, when I got Dark Magus, the door was blown off its hinges and a whole new wilderness revealed. Jazz meets funk and noise in a hair raising journey. Also, I first got it in 1994 on Japanese import CDs which gave it the vibe of forbidden fruit.
