^^ Ahh yes, in the eyes of our fearless leader: Paul Manafort, a tax cheat, was a "brave man".... but John McCain, a POW for 5 years, wasn't a war hero.

I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” - make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man!

Saw 2 movies via Redbox, Dunkirk & Wonder Woman. Wasn't a big fan of either.

Dunkirk I think loses alot on TV. Wish I saw it in the theater. I was slightly (selfishly) disappointed that this wasn't more of a 'war movie', more of a great escape. Visually, it was stunning, superb. Which is why I say it probably needed to be seen in theaters. I wasn't a big fan of how the storyline seemed to project most of the events onto the one character, making his tale seem far fetched. Would've liked to have seen it divvied up among characters. The pilot & civilian ship captain were great tho.

Wonder Woman I wasn't a big fan of. I'm not huge on Superhero movies & the story arc for this one was just typical. 20 minutes - Introduce new superhero character, 1 hour superhero finds their way thru life, 20 minutes epic final battle vs villain. Rinse repeat. It was good, well made & produced, just felt like you could interchange many other superhero characters & or films into this one & it's the same. I was hoping for something a bit more fresh. I don't follow the comic, wasn't a fan of the WW2 plot (esp right after seeing Dunkirk lol) but maybe that's the plotline of the comic. Would've preferred a TV show plotline or something.

Song sucks, I agree his voice is still there. Wouldn't have guessed he'd have been 69, wow. I'd have thought 60 or so. Yeah, Journey should do a farewell reunion. Even bring the new guy on for a song here & there to give Steve a breather, so long as Steve's ok with that. Also agree he wasted too much time in solitude. Should've been back 5-10 years ago.

Vaguely. That had to be 2 years ago or so, but I sorta remember something like that.

Interesting point about 'taking him for granted'. I could see that. Definitely was a sick guitarist in his day, and probably some cool as shit on Youtube. I think his music & personality bordered on, not sure how to word this properly, mainstream or packaged rock. I dunno, just no edgy enough. No doubting a tremendous guitarist & was very influential & popular in many bands & solo acts.

Keith Richards book Life is a really good read if you like bio's. He has alot of insights & interesting tidbits, one of which, the keyboardist for Derek & The Domino's who wrote the Layla ending went mad & ended up killing his own mother, bizarre story. I read Springsteens book, wasn't nearly as good. Seemed as if he was blowing off his ghostwriter alot & the writer was starved for stories & details, milking out whatever he could out of it.
