Bill Hamner was the father of a dear friend of mine, and he passed last week. I only met him a few times, but that's because the man never sat still. Ever. When I met him he was getting ready to study krill in the Antarctic.

The man changed Oceanography for the better. He designed the first aquarium that could successfully hold jellyfish.

He was an amazing man.

Looks like this week's Radio Free California will be 50 songs - for the umpteenth week in a row.

I'm not trying to do that. Really! I'm not! 😂

So TFG starts up and leand a chant of "Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!"

In a church. With children present, which he acknowledged right before the chant.

Now I ain't no Christian, but this seems pretty fucked up.

After first hearing this my reaction was "Hey, it's almost a song!"

Pop songs are too damned short these days. The Tik Tok effect.

Still, I share. 311 with "You're Gonna Get It". Will not be featured on my radio station. Like I said, it's almost a whole song. Let's see if there's an album version.

A lot of that is civil but it's still crimes. The big difference is that now he's been convicted of felonies and for the first time may be facing prison.

He's been a criminal for decades.

Something I want to say before we continue: Donald J Trump is not a first time offender. He's a first time felon. It's worth pointing out that he, his children, and his companies have been charged with crimes many times and in almost every case he has been found guilty. He has paid millions in fines, is currently liable for hundreds of millions more in fines, and is presently not allowed to do business in several states, and is not allowed to run charities or schools in any form.

1/2

I think my single favorite new music discovery this year so far is Lola Young, a 23 year-old from the UK who write truly in your face lyrics and strong songs to go along with them. When I first discovered her song "Wish You Were Dead" she had somewhere around 40,000 monthly plays on Spotify. She now has over 1 Million.

She's earned it.

Here is here new single, "Messy". It will join the rotation at my radio station

I think the single most alarming thing the last two days have taught me is how many Republicans in positions of power have no fucking clue how the legal system works.

I'm guessing that for most of them, this is their first encounter with it.
