The first guitar I ever bought for myself was a Danelectro Hodad, and I've been obsessed with the brand since. It's a real problem because the brand has gone through different iterations, different ownership, and different results, but I will always try to justify selling an organ to get a new Dano!

Ok, I was a bad son and didn't call my mom on her birthday. Realizing my mistake, I called to apologize and ask how her day went. She says: "It was great! I was helping renovate a homeless shelter!" Point is: Take time to get off social media, call your mom, and then go build your community.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

The concert calendar! As a local musician in the 00's, the KDHX concert calendar was the easiest and most reliable way to promote a small show. If you were trying to check out/network with a band, you looked there. I would not have made the friends who made me the musician I am without THE CALENDAR!

KDHX has been a real part of the community for... as long as I can remember. I volunteered there, I know a bunch of folks who interned there, and I still bust out the ol' CD book for my various volumes of "Live at KDHX." When I moved to Phoenix, I held on to 88.1 until the signal dropped.

Banking on liberals not opposing a right-wing agenda when a Democrat is in the White House has been a safe bet. It's been great for them, and absolute shit for us.

Dems are useless. Folks should stop supporting them. I'm sorry that people have been shocked by their their impotence, but they only slow progress if it can't be stopped entirely. Often, they work for the opposition and rely on the fact that libs won't oppose them because of a team sport mentality.

Let her retire from society. We would be better off. Corporate Democrats will always value the status quo over reform when they are in power and capitulate to the right anytime they aren't. Why expect any of them to stand against fascism when they couldn't stand up to the Senate Parliamentarian?

The "we need to welcome disgruntled Trump supporters" push needs to be understood not as outreach (90% of those spouting it won't ever do any) but as trying to find an excuse to ditch the people most in danger to appease conservatives. This is a very real problem. It's a major reason we got here.
