This one is a free jam on my flamenco acoustic guitar... it’s like a classical guitar with different wood to make it sound brighter. That’s what I heard..
This is serious. Is Joe Biden in the early stages of Alzheimer's? Look at the things he's said over the course of just a few days. Not included is one gaff he made and was told about his incredibly embarrassing mangling of the facts by his staff, then later that day in front of a different audience went on to REPEAT THE EXACT SAME GAFF AGAIN!
It's scary to think of this man with his finger on the nuclear trigger.

Yesterday was a crazy Friday with lots of interruptions. I'll attribute this mostly due to the full moon. Expected afternoon rains had the streets flooded and everyone in the office cleared out before 5pm. A handful of guys in the warehouse were loading trucks for a Saturday delivery and they were gone by 8 pm. I stayed late finishing a bid promised out by the end of the day.
I usually don't play music while working, but all the calculations were done, the only thing needed was to write up the cost proposal and add those numbers from a spreadsheet.
Earlier in the week, a friend and I were talking about the original 1967 lineup of the British band Fleetwood Mac. I only knew the bassist John McVie as he played with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton. Side note - that album was iconic as every guitarist in my circle of musicians copied Clapton's licks!
We were able to call up a few old videos where singer Stevie Nicks was a backup singer to other artists work. Fleetwood Mac like so many other bands had members join for a short stay and leave, often to follow solo careers. In 1974, singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham was hired on the condition his girlfriend Stevie Nicks would be hired too!
That decision was the formula for musical success and through all the ego fights, affairs, divorces, solo projects and reunions, 30 years of 'what I call' Fleetwood Mac existed.
In April on 2018 Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood had a disagreement about contract for a tour and Buckingham was dismissed. Mike Campbell (who performed with Tom Petty) and Neil Finn (from Crowded House) were hired on and Fleetwood Mac was on the road again.
One of the awesome things about hiring successful musicians is they get to play their hit songs in the current bands lineup, adding another facet to the music.
I caught a live performance (video) of Fleetwood Mac with Neil Finn that's worth a listen!

69 year old rock legend Lindsey Buckingham was singer/guitarist for the band Fleetwood Mac from 1975 to 1987 and again from 1997 to 2018. Early in April 2018, Buckingham was fired from the group over performance material differences. He later filed suit with the band over this.
Buckingham who had toured as a solo act in the past had gone back on the road.
Early in February, Lindsey had emergency open heart surgery and as a result of the surgery suffered vocal cord damage. Reports are it's unknown if the damage is temporary.
At this time, all his concert dates have been cancelled.
That's each of your children, grand children and any other living offspring. You think anything the government hands out is “free?” It’s not anything close to it. Everything they do costs twice as much as it would if done in the private sector and they spend like drunken sailors shoveling piles of debt onto your children and grandchildren as they go hoping you won’t notice until it’s too late. What do they care? It’s not their money they are spending… it’s YOURS.
That’s the amount owed by every citizen of the United States for all the “free” things that have already been handed out and promised by the federal government. It doesn’t count the additional free things that the Democrats are promising which will multiply that amount to around $9,000,000 for every man woman and child citizen of the United States. That’s right, EVERY man, woman and child will owe the federal government around NINE MILLION DOLLARS if the Democrats are elected and hand out all the “free” stuff they vow to hand out. And it also doesn’t count what you owe to state and local governments.
The Democrat’s platform is a bankrupt your children and grandchildren plan plain and simple.
Good luck, your kids already owe almost a half million dollars each that they are going to have to pay back in tax increases. Want to go for 9 million each instead? Vote Democrat.
Some problems in relationships can be tackled as a couple but some problems are a lot harder to solve. In fact, some of the relationship problems listed here just can’t be fixed. Look for the symptoms early in a relationship. The longer you wait to fix or terminate, the harder it becomes.
No Respect For Each Other
This is probably the number one reason for failed relationships. It manifests itself by contempt, finger-pointing, sarcasm and so forth. If both partners are unwilling to compromise, things will get worse until there is no coming back.
Needless Arguments
There will be times when you disagree on an issue. Agree to disagree. No one wins when one of you always has to be right.
Chronic Infidelity
Nothing can be more exhausting in a relationship than a serial cheater. Such a relationship can be repaired but only if the unfaithful partner is prepared to leave the affair behind.
Secrecy
We all need time apart but what we do in our free time shouldn’t be some great mystery. There’s a difference between privacy and secrecy. Too much secrecy leaves you feeling emotionally abandoned. A relationship needs sharing and openness.
Incompatible Sex Drives
A mutually fulfilling sex life is incredibly important in a long-term relationship. You should establish your sexuaI compatibility early on; it cannot be fixed later.
Not Able To Open Up To Each Other
If one of you prefers to keep your emotions bottled up, you will end up distancing yourself from your partner, giving up prematurely.
An Avoidant Partner
If your partner is avoiding and dismissive it’s going to be difficult. It can turn a calm and self-assured person into a bundle of neediness.
Narcissism
Maintaining a relationship with a narcissistic partner is an uphill battle. It is not uncommon for the narcissistic partner to sometimes throw a bone here and there, giving the other partner hope but most of the time they will criticize you for making their life miserable. If you detect any of these in yourself, start working on it... if you treasure your relationship.
Remember, today is the first day of the rest of your life. Make it memorable.
Perhaps the 70 year old GOP representative is just too out of touch with society.
The things he says indicates, that it is time to retire.

GOP Rep. Steve King has a history of controversial remarks. Here's some that riled people up
Linh Ta,USA TODAY•August 14, 2019
Rep. Steve King has a penchant for creating uproar across the nation with his comments.
While defending his remarks, the Iowa Republican has generally claimed he is misquoted and that he doesn't trust most media outlets. But for many Democrats and Republicans, his comments have gone too far.
King is currently under fire for comments he made while defending his stance of not allowing exceptions for rape and incest in anti-abortion legislation he tried to pass in Congress. He questioned whether there would be any population left, if it were not for "rape and incest," King said during a meeting with the Westside Conservative Club on Wednesday.
"What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled those people out that were products of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?" he said at the Westside Conservative Club in Urbandale, Iowa. "Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages taken place and whatever happened to culture after society I know I can't certify that I'm not a part of a product of that.
Here's a history of some of King's controversial remarks.
King questions why "white nationalist," is offensive language
In an interview with the New York Times, King questioned why "white nationalist," among other terms, are deemed racist language.
“White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” King said in an interview with the Times that published Jan. 10. “Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”
King said not all cultures contribute equally to society
King said presuming all cultures are equal devalues the "founding fathers" while arguing with an event attendee at a town hall in Webster County, Iowa. He said that by acknowledging that every culture is equal and contributed equally to society it reduces, "...the contributions of the people that laid the foundation for America and that's our founding fathers," King said at the event on May 28, 2019, in Fort Dodge.
Says a lot of people who are too ashamed to say they are Democrats. It's a cop out. They are constantly spew in left wing ideology but refuse to admit they are actually Democrats. I guess they are trying to save what little face they have left. I feel sorry for real Independents for having to share their political beliefs with phony Democrats who are hiding behind their collective skirts.
