Yes @Fout, Keri will be on next week. Her book is fantastic, so I hope it's translated as well.

Hello to Brian and the Currents gang! In finland, the most recent ridiculous brouhaha was because someone posted videos of our prime minister singing, dancing and, God forbid, drinking (though not obviously drunk like previous president Kekkonen) and the right-wing trolls are up in arms about inappropriate behavior. Fer chrissake, she's a 36-year-old woman, why shouldn't she party? And that's pretty much exactly what she told the press.

@Brian: have you seen The Pusher film trilogy by the Danish film director Nicolas Winding Refn? Pusher III: I'm the Angel of Death is one of my favorite dark and violent film, but this film has also funny moments!

Hello Don. I read she volunteered to take a drug test as well. Glad we're focusing on the important things... not.

Niall Stokes on Philip Lynott, Music and Racism in Ireland
Full article below:
"I was thinking about Philip Lynott last week. Had he lived, the great Irish rock star would be 70 years of age, on 20 August 2019. Seventy fucking years. To anyone who knew him well, that is an astonishing thought."

Hello Brian.

Dan in Tampere. If that was a man, would there be a fuss. Guess there are folks in Finland that resent her getting the job.

Hello Brian. And agree. Double standard. As usual. Shameful.

@don in tampere... that story reminds me of when the republicans went after aoc for a music video she was in in college. it backfired in them. its just misogyny

Great analogy tom tom. And yes, equally stupid going after Ocasio-Cortez for that video.

I remember the near constant feeling of optimism when the USSR collapsed and was oft thinking of the possible goodness = so much less spending on weaponry and war = housing, eduction, health, well beingNESS and then abruptly 09/11 and all went to shite and these last few years ... feels like Global Terminal Illness ... Meanwhile ... people wait in line for hours for weekend Brunch ... I look on the bright side ... I "haven't got long to live..."

Good morning Brian & all. Misogyny is so so easy to mobilize! The men who do it are shooting themselves in the foot and displaying their utter ugliness. Loving my woman is a (or even the) great joy in my life.

And morphe, I think you sum up a lot of how most of us feel. Those of us who remember the so-called Cold War celebrated its end, only to see it replaced with something worse.

I will clarify that my going into hiding was not spurred by leaked videos of me dancing or singing, as there are no such things (thankfully)
Avatar ⚡ 5:04am
Michael of Cologne:

Yes, something worse, @Brian. I hear listeners on C-Span saying they're reminded on 1930s Europe. And I am observing the steady, relentless hollowing out of the democratic institutions by the GOP in the U.S., the cultivation of a misled, resentful mob of which the more moderate powers, or even the judiciary, is scared.

Chris Crisco:

I suppose that is why Finland is rated the happiest country they don't get hung up on all this horseshit. Haven't seen any such videos from our New Zealand PM Jacinda yet.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:06am
Brian D:

That's funny, Fred. Sadly, there's a really awful video of me drunkenly air-guitaring somewhere. A friend occasionally takes it out to keep me humble.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:09am
fred:

To be fair, videos of a country leader dancing should probably be avoided, as a rule, for everyone's sake (including viewers). YMCA anyone?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:10am
Brian D:

Generally agree, Fred. But the Finnish PM moves pretty well.
Avatar ⚡ 5:10am
Don in Tampere:

Actually, the right-wingers, including the National Coalition Party, which has led the government multiple times, have gotten all up in arms about it, but I think everyone else thinks they are being stupid. Marin (like Obama) actually has some pretty good moves. Though, based on the video soundtrack, pretty crappy taste in music....

There is actually a dance video where I briefly appear, but as a standing onlooker only (with a WFMU T-shirt, obviously)

@morphe': That would be cruelty. I heard that "white man dance" was not exactly praise, but "orange man dance" is hard to watch (though the "dance" part may not be the main reason)

Fred - putting "dance' in quotation marks in relation to "orange man" is editorially and stylistically correct...

Mosque Bombing Correction: the 2 most recent Mosque bombings were done on Sunni Mosques - the Mosques are part of the "Hanafi" branch ..

"The most prominent casualty of the massive blast was Mullah Amir Mohammad Kabuli.

Kabuli was an important cleric, belonging to the Hanafi school, one of the most moderate among the four schools of thought in Sunni Islam."

Foutracbaldisco:

@Fredericks: I did a mistake, I was thinking at first of the song Blasé in fact, not My Angel. Blasé is closer in the atmosphere. But this Keiko Higuchi song could even get closer to some Mal Waldron/Jeanne Lee duos songs.
