#StormyWeather Music Monday
In the continuing story which graced our News channel screens again this weekend was news about the President and the Porn Star — and unfortunately for the President it’s looking like the Porn Star has a lot more truthfulness to her public statements about what went on between them.
Poor Trump, he just wants to be Dictator and spend every other moment golfing; and this woman just won’t let his lies lie there. She and her full-on Shark attorney, Michael Avenatti, were on a variety of shows this weekend.
The biggest and best of the bunch (because I did watch all of them, godz help me) was Avenatti appearing on Real Time with Bill Maher. This guy is playing in the Big Leagues of Law and you can tell he’s LOVING it. He also likes to make announcements about Trump and Things To Come, and lo and behold, those announcements keep being affirmed. His biggest point on Friday night was something to warm the cockles of the heart of every progressive and liberal: Trump won’t finish his term in Office.
For what it’s worth, I agree with him.
Donald Trump’s Worst Nightmare: Michael Avenatti:
ON to the actual musical portion of the show… and due to our title today, here’s the penultimate tune in keeping with our theme of #StormyWeather.
The ineffable and illuminating Etta James and “Stormy Weather”:
The Fats Waller version from Vaudeville:
No matter how you look at it, from here on out Trump has NOTHING but stormy weather facing him and his lying ass. Karma is smiling her ass off.
I finally went and saw Black Panther. It was everything everyone said it was, and more. The best part about Black Panther? So far as I could tell there was only one white guy in the whole film and I didn’t even notice until after the film was over. Take That! Hollywood, and stop telling us there are good reasons why there aren’t more POC in US films today. Oh, and Marvel finally disclosed the secret of #Vibranium and where it came from.
I made the world’s greatest Scalloped Potatoes and Ham for dinner yesterday. Seriously. l started with a butter & flour rue, added whole milk and six kinds of cheese until it was a light fluffy schmoo of delight with parsley, onion, garlic, thyme, fresh ground pepper and the piece de resistance a tablespoon of Applewood liquid smoke seasoning. Layered thin sliced russets and chunks of Black Forest Ham with that cheesy Schmoo of the Gods. Bake for 1 hour 20 mins at 350° and top is golden brown and the whole house smells like you could lick the walls and die of delight.
Oh, and HBO’s Westworld started it’s new season. Oh. My. God. The robots Androids have “woken up” and there WILL be hell to pay.
How was your weekend?
