Hey everyone! It’s another day ending in y. I remember the good old days when it didn’t feel like a whole month’s worth of events were packed into one day. Yet here we are. It’s lit, as the kids would say.
Sometimes the comedians manage to make sense of the insanity better than anyone else, so let’s start with Seth Meyers covering whatever the heck that spectacle was on Monday night:
Sometimes, all we can do is laugh.
John Oliver on voting:
If nothing else, it’s informative, although there are moments that are entertaining. I’ve seen the “get your booty to the polls” video thanks to Twitter, so John Oliver’s commentary on that is amusing enough.
SNL is back, and their cold opening was a parody of the first (and possibly only) Presidential debate:
Colbert has a few words about the Combover Cheeto’s tweet that appears to have effectively ended the COVID-19 relief negotiations that were just barely getting going again. Ah, we peons don’t need to exchange goods and services, nor do we need any proper protections of election results, our health, etc.
As I am putting this together, I am learning that Johnny Nash passed away. So in his memory, here is his signature song:

The sentiment of this song is one that seems like a fitting note to end on.
You know the drill. The bar is open. Drinks are on the house until the jukebox is fixed. In the meantime, stay healthy and safe.
I really hope y’all are doing okay. I know these next through months will be ones that put us all through hell and back. I try to check in daily. Take care.
We can now paste urls of videos and they should display automatically!!!

This probably bothers me more than it should.
Yet another travesty. Pretty much sums up everything the White House touches these days.

I love this tribute to Eddie Van Halen by Bill Hangley Jr.

A masterpiece covered by master musicians. What’s not to love about that? As I was listening to the Dead’s cover, I was reminded of a former coworker at a call center just a little over three decades ago. An early 20-something like me. Lots of positive energy. She’d detoxed, been through a stint in rehab, and was putting her life back together. I remember coming in one shift and she was in an especially good mood. At the break, she started telling me how she saw her first Dead concert completely sober. She got something out of that gig that she’d never experienced before. I was happy for her. She’d only stick around for a few months, before she needed a change of scenery. I still hope she’s clean and sober, and has built up a wealth of memories. If anyone seemed deserving…So it goes.
I can relate. Fairly early on in my time on tour I stopped “medicating” before shows because I wanted to hear better and also remember. In any case, once you’ve heard it in an enhanced state, you always hear it that way. You don’t need to keep pummeling your synapses.
Man, the Yankees were eliminated and the Giants are 0-5. I can’t catch a break in 2020. At least my son’s soccer team exceeded expectations and made it all the way to the finals in their tournament this weekend. He also scored an epic game-winning goal in the semi-finals by kneeing the ball in the air to his left foot and then blasting it in.
