"Why experts say the legalization of marijuana is no cause for celebration…"
By Daryl Austin
| Aug 4, 2022 9 p.m. MDT, for The Deseret News
"Last month, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., introduced a bill to end federal prohibitions on marijuana put in place when Congress made the drug illegal more than 50 years ago.
"Attitudes toward cannabis use have fluctuated greatly in the last century. Banned in the '30s, criminalized in the '50s — cultural shifts led to more leniency in the '60s. In the '70s, then-President Richard Nixon rejected recommendations to decriminalize, though 11 states did independently.
"The war on drugs brought the most severe punishments with growth in drug arrests. Eighty-two percent of arrests involved marijuana, although only 6% resulted in felony convictions. The approval of medical marijuana in California in 1996 initiated the trend toward legalization and now commercialization, leaving unresolved tensions between more liberal state policies and continued federal prohibition.
"While a fresh look at federal policy could lead to greater uniformity when it comes to marijuana, studies continue to underscore the drug's harmful impacts. And, if the proposed legislation passes, an already expanded number of marijuana users in the country could further grow. Medical experts are asking policymakers to dispel the common misconception the drug is harmless and look to the data for how marijuana impacts the health and well-being of its users.
"The data is anything but encouraging when it comes to the dangers associated with cannabis. "States for which there is rigorous data and for which enough time has passed since commercialization has been enacted are seeing a host of negative outcomes," said Dr. Ken Winters, the founder of the Center for Adolescent Substance Abuse Research at the University of Minnesota.
"Negative outcomes include research that suggests a connection between smoking marijuana and respiratory symptoms like chronic bronchitis. The drug also tends to impact school performance.
"Since marijuana use impairs critical cognitive functions … many students could be functioning at a cognitive level that is below their natural capability for considerable periods of time," one review from the New England Journal of Medicine notes.
"And multiple studies also link marijuana use and violence. A National Institute of Health study found that "marijuana use during adolescence nearly doubles the risk for intimate partner violence;" and another study from Frontiers in Psychiatry suggests a "unidirectional association between cannabis use and violence." Journalist Alex Berenson, author of the book "Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness and Violence," documents the rising cases of mental illness in tandem with cannabis use.
The data is anything but encouraging when it comes to the dangers associated with cannabis.
The number of new users, meanwhile, and the frequency with which they use marijuana shows few signs of slowing. One study found that in 2006, about 3 million Americans reported using the drug at least 300 times a year, "the standard for daily use," the study noted. But the same study showed that by 2017 the number of users who used the drug at least 300 times a year had more than doubled, increasing to 8 million, approaching the number of Americans who drink every day.
"The number of casual users has also increased. In 2019, 48 million Americans reported using the drug at least once that year — accounting for nearly 18% of the country or 1 in 5 Americans. That year the U.S. surgeon general sounded a national alarm on the drug's harmful effects, including on the developing brain and its link to psychotic disorders.
"On that front, a study in The Lancet found that "the odds of psychotic disorder among daily cannabis users were 3.2 times higher than for never users." And of course, marijuana can also be addictive. "Marijuana addiction is much more common than most people realize," said Dr. Samuel Wilkinson, the associate director of the Yale Depression Research Program at Yale School of Medicine. "Large and reliable epidemiological studies suggest that about 1 in 3 marijuana users have some form of addiction."
"Despite all the evidence, many advocates for its legalization still claim that cannabis is "relatively safe" or even "harmless;" coinciding with a growing number of Americans who believe that "using marijuana causes little to no harm" — an alarming and puzzling notion to public health officials. "If it were benign, nobody would use it," neuroscientist Yasmin Hurd told The Harvard Gazette earlier this year, "Cannabis contains over 500 chemicals, including over 140 cannabinoids that have a greater or lesser degree of psycho-pharmacological activity."
"To make matters worse, evidence suggests that such chemicals are becoming more potent, another source of concern among the experts I interviewed. "The biggest detriment of cannabis legalization in the U.S. in my mind has been the lack of regulations around high potency cannabis products," explained Dr. Rosalie Liccardo Pacula, a health policy professor at the University of Southern California. "U.S. markets have the highest potency products available, and with these higher potency products we are seeing growing numbers of cannabis poisonings, cannabis hyperemesis syndrome, psychosis, pregnant women in the E.R., addiction, and cannabis-involved motor vehicle fatalities."
"Winters said many such consequences could have been avoided if policymakers would have listened to early warnings from public health experts. "I cannot identify one harm or negative outcome predicted by health officials that has not come to be a reality," he told me.
"Legalized marijuana, of course, has become a major source of tax revenue for some states. This, again, has created its own tricky kind of dependency. Any attempts to scale back could mean budget cuts. And then there's also the issue of new business. "There have been some increases in new jobs," said Pacula. Cutting jobs or tax revenue isn't politically popular, even if some experts suggest that states may be worse off financially in the long run. "Tax revenues from marijuana sales do not cover the costs of added harms and health issues that communities have to bear," said Winter.
"Beyond quality control, tax revenue and employment opportunities, medicinal marijuana may hold some potential health benefits for people with certain medical conditions. It is an effective temporary treatment for multiple sclerosis symptoms, for example, and the American Cancer Society has acknowledged that cannabis "can be helpful in treating nausea and vomiting from cancer chemotherapy." Some make the case for its use as pain treatment.
"But experts told me that safer alternatives to marijuana are readily available and should be considered instead. "If we think we need some sort of cannabis constituent, I would favor using FDA-approved forms of it and avoiding smoked cannabis," Wilkinson said. "I mean, how many other medicines do you know of that are smoked?" Smoking marijuana can cause respiratory issues, one of the reasons the American Lung Association specifically warns against it: "We caution the public against smoking marijuana because of the risks it poses to the lungs," the organization notes.
"Large and reliable epidemiological studies suggest that about 1 in 3 marijuana users have some form of addiction."
"Jonathan Caulkins, a professor of operations research and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College, offered a similar take: "Cannabis is directly useful for treating only a small number of things, and for most of those things there are better alternatives," he said.
"Wilkinson also noted that some people have the perception that marijuana can be beneficial against depression and anxiety, "but mostly the objective data shows the opposite," he said. "The trouble is that people often feel a transient reprieve when high but then tend to return to a worse baseline," he explained. "This is not unlike saying that alcohol helps with depression or anxiety (which it can transiently), but the objective data is overwhelming that people with alcohol addiction and depression or anxiety feel worse than depressed patients without alcohol problems."
"With the harms of legalization and commercialization seemingly outweighing benefits so significantly, many wonder how marijuana legislation has been able to pass so quickly and so broadly, especially with the aforementioned measures currently being considered in Congress to deregulate federal cannabis prohibition even further.
"Policy makers rallied around the mantra 'we have to follow the science' when it came to dealing with COVID-19," Winters said, "yet the science on the health impacts of cannabis is so often ignored by them." Indeed, a PubMed study points to "a shrewd and expensive lobbying campaign" making so many Americans tolerant of a drug that "presents more serious risks than most people realize."
"Wilkenson said better testing and regulation are more important than ever. "Marijuana is unlike virtually every
"Wilkenson said better testing and regulation are more important than ever. "Marijuana is unlike virtually every other 'medicine' in that it has not gone through rigorous clinical trials that are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration," he explained. "Instead, state legislatures, using a variety of criteria, have somewhat arbitrarily decided that it can be used within their state boundaries as an ailment for various health disorders."
"Beyond regulation and slowing down legalization efforts, health officials also want to improve messaging and education similar to what occurred when cigarettes were de-glamorized after being presented as "cool, cheap, legal and socially acceptable" throughout the mid-20th century.
"We need sensible, evidence-based education on weed for all stakeholders, including young people and health care professionals," Harvard Medical School's Dr. Kevin Hill wrote for NBC News, "to bridge the gap between the science of cannabis and public perception."

Girl, Woman, Other: A Novel (Booker Prize Winner)
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE
"A must-read about modern Britain and womanhood . . . An impressive, fierce novel about the lives of black British families, their struggles, pains, laughter, longings and loves . . . Her style is passionate, razor-sharp, brimming with energy and humor. There is never a single moment of dullness in this book and the pace does not allow you to turn away from its momentum."—Booker Prize Judges
Bernardine Evaristo is the winner of the 2019 Booker Prize and the first black woman to receive this highest literary honor in the English language. Girl, Woman, Other is a magnificent portrayal of the intersections of identity and a moving and hopeful story of an interconnected group of Black British women that paints a vivid portrait of the state of contemporary Britain and looks back to the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa and the Caribbean.
The twelve central characters of this multi-voiced novel lead vastly different lives: Amma is a newly acclaimed playwright whose work often explores her Black lesbian identity; her old friend Shirley is a teacher, jaded after decades of work in London's funding-deprived schools; Carole, one of Shirley's former students, is a successful investment banker; Carole's mother Bummi works as a cleaner and worries about her daughter's lack of rootedness despite her obvious achievements. From a nonbinary social media influencer to a 93-year-old woman living on a farm in Northern England, these unforgettable characters also intersect in shared aspects of their identities, from age to race to sexuality to class.
Sparklingly witty and filled with emotion, centering voices we often see othered, and written in an innovative fast-moving form that borrows technique from poetry, Girl, Woman, Other is a polyphonic and richly textured social novel that shows a side of Britain we rarely see, one that reminds us of all that connects us to our neighbors, even in times when we are encouraged to be split apart.

Parents across the UK are appending less money on themselves in order to make sure their children have the best clothes and accessories.
These are the findings of a poll conducted by insurance firm Sheila's Wheels Home Insurance, which discovered that 76 per cent of parents are spending less on clothes than they used to.
A further 51 per cent said that they have swapped their own expensive garments and now shop at stores such as Peacocks and Primark in a bid to make sure their children continue to get designer clothes and top-end brands.
Sheila's Wheels spokeswoman Jacky Brown said that parents are clearly feeling the pressure to keep their children looking good.
"It's crucial not to underestimate the cost to replace a child's wardrobe as the value kids clothing and accessories really does add up - that's why it's important to have ample contents insurance," she added.
Sheila's Wheels specialises in car, home, pet and travel insurance for women.

Like eugenics (a generally popular policy of which Oliver Wendell Holmes was a great support in several applauded decisions), the concept and acts aimed at slamming down its hideous onsurge, of degeneration, was not unheard of, but everywhere, when Hitler took to it. So far as I know, Max Nordau, who was a cosmopolitanism Jew (and who became a Zionist when already in middle age, long having considered himself assimilated in something like the manner of Marx), gave the most clear statement of it, in his book which I have read, not to say studied with some attention. I only point this out, as part of a general gloss on the too-poorly treated thesis concerning the overcoming of society, as that which followed the overcoming of nature. This theory has a special importance and links to a proper grasp of the dispute between Nietzsche and Wagner over the Gesamtskunstwerk, which does not mean, as it is these days supposed to mean, a agglutination and sticking or clinging together of many arts, but rather a communal work, like that debated in the Council of Trent (namely the music of Palestrina in its capacity to lead the believer to the Catholic spirit despite that it made the plain song inaudible amidst the freak contrapuntal tingle).

I don't have straight evidence of it right now, but I suspect Nordau must have been aware of evolution theory, and as a practicing doctor he must have agreed that for humans the natural selection really stopped working at the beginning of agriculture roughly 10,000 years ago (or 500 generations). (This evidence lies in the vestigal parts of human body).
He must have seen the effects of industrialization and subsequent urbanization on human psychology and behavior, but that was just a slice of a bigger and longer process (civilization) that has started long before him.
Original racial traits were selected for by natural environment, but once you control the external environment, selection, and choice of traits selected, becomes man-made. I doubt he goes far back enough to detect the first so called degeneration effects in humans. The process goes on, and eventually, the humans will have to resort to artificial genetic alteration to harmonize exponentially advancing technology with slow adapting human body. The man-made selection process will continue. But it will not be called de-generation. Perhaps cultivation. And concepts like racial purity will take on a different name, or at least a different connotation, as purity loyal to a different (man-made) standard.
by Guide » Tue Mar 12, 2019 12:53 am
Interesting. I'm sure he did know of a number of Evolutionary theories, but his theory did not largely concern race, but general "moral" development. Although, you might be right. There is biological content in the book.
I point out, however, on the other hand, Kant, some eighty years earlier, it must be said, in conceiving of distant planets, and their populations, wondered entirely of moral development. Never supposing anything but humans would be found in charge on other planets.
Madison says here, much earlier, but still in keeping with the idea: " I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries; as long as they are chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall be vacant lands in any part of America. When they get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, they will become corrupt as in Europe. "
The corruption consisted of men of sound faculties, able to live nobly and rightly, deliberately following bohemian and debased patterns of life. The issue between Ibsen and Strindberg about "The Stronger", a woman who chooses the traditional life of marriage rather than liberation, for instance, was more in question.
Of course, for the one who became a Zionist, the issue is latter, more clearly, over the status of Orthodoxy or a compromise religion, or, on the other hand, what he renounced after the Dreyfus Affair, assimilation and Cosmopolitanism.

Btw, I believe lgbt agenda was one of the solutions (or tricks) that came up in order to prevent the system collapsing.
(and I wouldn't be surprised is someone even got a Nobel Prize for coming up with it).
by Guide » Tue Mar 12, 2019 11:58 pm
I don''t think so. People who are of those denominations, and are academics, said: How to make persons such as this less miserable? Then they got legal actions to back up their passionate desire to alleviate suffering. They produced powerful propaganda (well meaning and sincere fluttering, crackling flags, above the multitude). Note: this is not rational. It is driven by the current form of the university. Ergo, the chaos. However, what rationality is is not known. Ergo, Alexander Dugin must live!
Who funds them is accidental (not rational).

Spotify announces acquisition of audiobook company Findaway
Spotify on Thursday announced its plans to acquire popular audiobook company Findaway. This follows the announcement earlier this year that users of the streaming service would gain access to more than 500,000 audiobooks through a partnership with Storytel Group.
On its official blog, Spotify confirmed that it has reached an agreement to acquire Findaway, which is described as a "global leader in digital audiobook distribution." Findaway offers tools for authors, publishers, and consumers, and it has been very important in helping independent authors share their stories.
As noted by the company, the audiobook industry is expected to grow from $3.3 billion to $15 billion by 2027, so it's no surprise that Spotify is so interested in this segment. However, the price of the acquisition was not disclosed by Spotify.
Together, Spotify and Findaway will accelerate Spotify's entry into the audiobook space and continue to innovate the industry, working to remove current limitations and unlock better economic tools for creators. Findaway's technology infrastructure will enable Spotify to quickly scale its audiobook catalog and innovate on the experience for consumers, simultaneously providing new avenues for publishers and authors to reach audiences around the globe.
It's not only Spotify that has been investing in audiobooks recently. Although Apple already sells audiobooks through the Apple Books app, the company is now launching such content to promote Apple TV+ shows. Apple has also promoted some audiobooks from famous musicians on Apple Music.

A. taurus is so-named due to its robust appearance.
This species is relatively common in the aquarium trade.
taurus: from the Latin taurus, meaning 'bull', in reference to its robust appearance.
Known only from the upper rio Itiquira and upper rio Taquari, both tributaries within the rio Paraguay system, Mato Grosso State, Brazil.
Type locality is 'River Itiquira, River Paraguai system, 16°56'S, 53°32'W, Fazenda Cabeceira do Itiquira, close to highway BR-364, Alto Garças, Mato Grosso State, Brazil'.
An aquarium with minimum base dimensions of 75 ∗ 30 cm or more is recommended.
This species is relatively common in the aquarium trade but is sometimes mislabelled as A. menezesi, a valid but distinct species.
A. taurus can be told apart from congeners by the following combination of characters: infraorbitals and preopercle covered by thick skin and not visible externally (vs. covered by thin skin and externally visible in other Aspidoras); nuchal plate reduced, covered by thick skin and not visible externally (vs. well developed, covered by thin skin and visible externally); lateral line absent posterior to two small lateral line ossicles (vs. lateral line present on at least first body plate).
New catfish of the genus Aspidoras (Siluriformes: Callichthyidae) from the upper Rio Paraguai system in Brazil.

US voices concern about Iran envoy
By Shahin Mahmoudi
AFP: The United States said Thursday it has voiced concern to Iran on its potential selection of a UN ambassador with alleged links to the 1979 seizure of the US embassy. Iran has sought a visa for Hamid Aboutalebi, who joined a student group behind the hostage-taking.
AFP – The United States said Thursday it has voiced concern to Iran on its potential selection of a UN ambassador with alleged links to the 1979 seizure of the US embassy.
Iran has not announced a nominee to be its ambassador in the United Nations. But a US senator critical of US outreach to Iran said that the Islamic republic has sought a visa for Hamid Aboutalebi, who joined a student group behind the hostage-taking.
"The US has raised it with the Iranian government, our concerns about this," State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters.
She declined further details but said previously that Aboutalebi's nomination would be "extremely troubling."
As the host government, the United States generally is obliged to issue visas to diplomats who serve at the United Nations, although Harf said there were "certain circumstances" for exceptions.
Aboutalebi is a career diplomat considered close to Iranian reformists including President Hassan Rouhani, who swept to power last year in part on pledges to ease tensions with the West.
Aboutalebi has insisted he was not part of the hostage-taking in November 1979, when students who had overthrown the pro-Western shah seized the US embassy, but that he later joined the student group.
He has said that he worked as a translator when the students, soon after the hostage taking, released 13 women and African Americans to highlight what they said was Islamic respect for women and poor US treatment of minorities.
The remaining 52 diplomats spent a total of 444 days in captivity, enraging the United States.
The two countries still do not have diplomatic relations, but Rouhani and US President Barack Obama have taken steps to ease tensions through a tentative agreement to freeze parts of Iran's nuclear program.
Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas and vociferous critic of the Iran deal, introduced a bill backed by fellow lawmakers that would block US visas for "known terrorists" to represent their countries at the United Nations.
"It is unconscionable that, in the name of international diplomatic protocol, the United States would be forced to host a foreign national who showed a brutal disregard for the status of our diplomats when they were stationed in his country," Cruz said in a statement.

Kaspersky Accused of Producing Fake Malware to Sabotage Competitors
Reportedly, Kaspersky has been accused of making malware for more than ten years — The firm tricked other antiviruses into labeling it as infected.
Last time when Kaspersky was in the news it was about its relationship with Facebook so it can help the users identify and remove malware from their computers. Now, the firm is in the news for all the wrong reasons.
As per the claim of two ex-employees of Kaspersky, the malware attack was actually conducted to penalize emerging rivals firms for "stealing" its technology.
Detailed Analysis:
Basically, the attack worked like this: The antivirus firm Kaspersky would insert codes that looked dangerous into the software's common pieces. Later, it would anonymously submit malware aggregator files to platforms like Google's VirusTotal.
The competitors used to add the malware to their detection engines and would mistakenly flag the actual files due to the similarity of codes. Eventually, Kaspersky started targeting big-shot rivals like Avast, Microsoft, and AVG.
The companies involved in this hoax did not comment on the allegations for which Kaspersky is being accused of. However, all these firms had previously informed Reuters about an unknown third party that was trying to mislead them into marking false positives.
Allegedly, Kaspersky researchers worked for "weeks to months" on this project and just a small group of employees/researchers knew about this trickery, which peaked from 2009 to 2013.
Kaspersky has rejected all these claims and said in a statement that:
"Our company has never conducted any secret campaign to trick competitors into generating false positives to damage their market standing. Accusations by anonymous, disgruntled ex-employees that Kaspersky Lab, or its CEO, was involved in these incidents are meritless and simply false. Such actions are unethical, dishonest and their legality is at least questionable."
However, Kaspersky did acknowledge the fact that it had performed a test with the collaboration of a computer magazine. The test involved assigning clean files a bogus threat level just to show the ease and convenience with which false positives are added without proper testing by the cyber security firms.
I don't usually read @reuters. But when I do, I see false positives. For the record: this story is a complete BS: https://t.co/m0Rcy2Vm6Y
— Eugene Kaspersky (@e_kaspersky) August 14, 2015
According to Kaspersky, this test was documented publicly immediately and competitors were also informed about it to prevent any such mishap from actually occurring.
On the other hand, Reuters reports that Kaspersky sustained this practice and later on modified common files to trick other virus scanners into considering them as malicious and uploading them on malware tracking databases.
About Kaspersky:
Kaspersky is a Moscow-based firm that creates the most famous and widely computer security software. It is counted among the best and largest Internet security firms around the world. The firm is largely known for its top-notch and highly reliable antivirus software.

Gas prices a hot topic at Auto Show
MILWAUKEE -- With gas prices quickly rising around the country, the cost associated with fueling vehicles was the subject of conversation among both automakers, and those looking at cars, as the 2012 Greater Milwaukee Auto Show wrapped up on Sunday.
At the Greater Milwaukee Auto Show, cars with good gas mileage have gotten plenty of attention during the show's nine-day run.
Jon and Noelle Simons say with gas prices on the rise, they're looking at hybrid options.Those showing off the cars at the Greater Milwaukee Auto Show say the Simons are not alone. "I would say with great frequency, at least half the people are asking about fuel efficiency, asking about hybrids, which cars get the best gas mileage. Even with non-hybrids, manufacturers are always looking to improve gas mileage. We see the gas mileage numbers increase year-to-year, and the Corolla gets up to 36 miles-per-gallon," one Toyota car dealer said.
Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele knows about the cost of gas. County vehicles use 800,000 gallons of gas a year! "It has a huge impact on the county - everything from buses, our fleet, snow plowing. The price of gas has a big impact on our budget," Abele said.
While Abele can at least try to get more money from Washington, people like the Simons just have to deal with it. "It impacts our family vacation this summer, because some of the kids can't go because gas is so high. It's a trickle-down effect. It'll probably come on pretty hard this summer, with the price of gasoline getting to where it is," the Simons said.
While drivers and automakers keep an eye on fuel efficiency, Abele is headed to Washington D.C. looking to help the county pay for its gas and other costs related to getting people around.
According to GasBuddy.com - the average price of gas in Milwaukee is $3.77, as of Sunday, March 4th. At this time last year, the average was $3.48.

Dexy's Midnight Runners – Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
ARTIST: Dexy's Midnight Runners
TITLE: Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
CHART ACTION: #6 UK
SINGLES: Geno (#1 UK), There There My Dear (#7 UK)
OTHER SONGS YOU MAY KNOW: Not here
LINEUP: Kevin Rowland, Kevin Archer, Jim Paterson, Pete Williams, Jeff Blythe, Steve Spooner, Pete Saunders, Andy Growcott
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT: Neo northern-soul band releases first album on the back of a surprise hit.
SOME WORDS, PHRASES AND CLAUSES ABOUT THIS RECORD: Dexy's Midnight Runners were quite the thing in the UK in the early 80's. After a one-off single hit the charts, they signed an album contract and on the back of "Geno", this was a sensation in 1980.
The tunes are copped, copied and inspired by soul from the 60's, both in the US and the songs that were part of the Northern Soul revival in the UK. Musically, there's not a lot of originality except that in 1980 it was standing out from the crowd on the UK scene. Rowland's not much of a singer, more of a yelper, but the saving grace is the hooks in the songs. Those hooks are what make the album worth keeping around.
As with any UK band from this time frame, the non-LP singles tell a deeper story (thank goodness for deluxe editions). This album is a decent soul tribute with decent playing, some OK horn charts, and those hooks.
NOTES & MINUTIAE: Rowland was already a notorious SOB even in his early days. He turned down a lot of offers, cut out a percentage of the royalties from many band members due to the contract signed with EMI, and stole the album tapes from EMI in order to get a higher royalty rate. By the time they were on to album two, only one other member remained and he was soon to leave, too.
IS THERE A DELUXE VERSION: Yes, with hits "Dance Stance (#40 UK), "Keep It (Part Two)", and "Plan B" (#58 UK).
GRADE: B: I do believe Rowland's voice is a hinderance, as are the lack of true originality in most of the material. A couple songs are just not worth the time. That said, it's hooky as heck.

Egg here checking in from the left coast and happy to report that BW put on a great show last night at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. Twas' great meeting Bugs and his doe.....wish you luck getting down to SoCal for the "big news"!
On to the battle.....
My egglet put an interesting twist on this weeks encounter and I'm happy to say that BW's song is growing on me. Still, Queen has a strong grip on the Egg's heart strings so.....
GOLD Somebody to love.......soaring vocals, blazing guitar solo and all out desperation for somebody to love lyrics
SILVER. Waiting for the day.....Brian always amazes me with his heart on his sleeve lyrics and his musical explorations
BRONZE. Stray Cat Strut.......so much fun on this track with playful lyrics, rockabilly backbeat, walking bass and great 50's riffs and fills.
TIN For those about to rock.......The Egg likes to rock but is careful when rolling being an egg and all.....unfortunately this track from the Thunder Down Under doesn't make a good quiche....The Egg prefers one if their older recipes!!
Love and mercy to you and yours tonight!!
I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!

Mad Daddy was ahead of his time.
It must have been hard for Brian Jones to have started the band and then been eclipsed by the other guys, even if he wasn't that interested in becoming a pop star.
Two more: Brian Causey and Brian Teasley are two of the key members of Man or Astro-Man? However:
It should be noted that, although the real names of the band members are known, the band members themselves have never publicly acknowledged their true identities, and steadfastly claim to be extraterrestrials sent to Earth to play surf music....It's largely believed the group took its name from the poster of the US release of the Japanese film The Human Vapor, which includes the tagline "IS HE MAN OR ASTRO-MAN?"
Thus, Mr. Causey is formally known as Star Crunch and Mr. Teasley is known as Birdstuff.

Getting back to the four original Brians that started this ridiculously long Brian crazed thread. I have seen all four Brians in concert. Queen and AC/DC in my teenage years, Brian Stetzer in my 30's and our favorite Brian with BB and in the last two years, three Pet Sounds shows. Yet, this is how my vote rocks:
GOLD - Queen's Brian
SILVER - The Brian
BRONZE - Orchestra Brian
TIN - England's (and Australia) Brian
Getting relatively obscure:
Brian Chase is the drummer for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs: "Maps" and "Shake It".
Brian Hill has been the drummer for Wavves in recent years: "Way Too Much" and "My Head Hurts".
Finally, Brian Bell is a longtime member of Weezer. From last month: "Beach Boys" (yes, those Beach Boys)
Graciegirl
Gold – Somebody to Love – Queen
Silver - Stray Cat Strut – Stray Cats
Bronze - I'm Waiting for the Day – The Beach Boys
Tin – For Those About to Rock - ACDC
Popeye (not the sailor)
My Brian Votes:
Gold: Waiting For The Day - Beach Boys - There's not a song on Pet Sounds that isn't gold to my ears.
Silver: Stray Cat Strut - Stray Cats - Spot on comparison between Brian Setzer and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Bronze: Somebody To Love - Queen was always hit and miss with me. This song is a miss because of some of it's annoyingly mashed together delivery of lyrics.
Tin: For Those About To Rock - After Bon Scott died I lost all interest in AC/DC. This ear splitting screecher proves why.
Thanks GG!
My votes :
Silver - I'm Waiting for the Day – The Beach Boys
Bronze - For Those About to Rock - ACDC
Tin – Stray Cat Strut – Stray Cats
Well if you can include a co-writer such as Brian Holland of Motown's Holland Dozier and Holland there are hundreds to choose from....heres one:
GOLD: Somebody To Love by Queen
This has always been my favorite Queen song. I love the vocals, the music, the lyrics, etc. Also, this was the first Queen lead I learned.
SILVER: I'm Waiting For The Day by The Beach Boys
When I first discovered the Beach Boys, this was one of my top 10 Beach Boys songs. Brian is just the best at expressing himself through music. I love Brian's lead vocal. I really enjoy the flute on this one as well.
BRONZE: Stray Cat Strut by The Stray Cats
This song is sooo fun! Like I said before, Brian Setzer=SRV+jazz. It's still one of my favorite songs to play. As much as I love this song, I find it mire fun to play than to listen to. It's tough to put it in third place though.
TIN: For Those About To Rock by AC/DC
I'm going to close the voting tonight at midnight PT so get your votes in while you can!
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
~The Beatles
bonnie bella
My votes.
GOLD - Anything Off Pet Sounds And This Is No Exception. Although, this song sits in the lower half of my Pet Sounds experience. Love Brian's incredible vocals over this whole stage of his career.
SILVER - The Stray Cats. This only after long deliberation. There's a lot about it that's not as good as the song below, after all, Queen are iconic and "Somebody to Love" must be one of their best songs. But this one has something fun and cheeky about it, both lyrically and musically. Super slinky beat, you can tell that tom owns his neighbourhood; "Don't cross my path". Excellent, but not excellent enough. Bags-not it being me to put out the first saucer of kippers.
BRONZE - Queen. Dang catchy, and a popular and powerful song. Freddie does his best work with half a set of lycra tights, a piano, and fifteen plastic cups. But, after a while the beat gets to me, it's too bash-bash, or up-down, or whack-a-mole or something. It's also nowhere near as fun as The Stray Cats, who don't bother chasing mice around and need nobody to love.
TIN - AC/DC. These guys could have easily taken Bronze and possibly Silver with another song, so I'm sad to relegate it to Tin (like practically everybody else). It's got a promising intro, but when Brian starts screaming I start turning it down. Brian brought a different sound to the band after Bon passed, and even with their really big hits, I've always appreciated early AC/DC more. They tour reasonably frequently here and I've enjoyed two excellent AC/DC concerts.
Thanks Jenny.

Still finishing our autumn vacation, so reporting in this Sunday from the sunny, unseasonably warm surfer land of San Sebastián on Spain's Atlantic coast. Briefly:
Gold: "I'm Waiting for the Day", Beach Boys. Just one of numerous lovely classics from Brian's magnum opus, Pet Sounds.
Silver: "Somebody to Love", Queen. One of their classics and a fine one at that.
Bronze: "Stray Cat Strut", Brian Setzer. Just when the young rock generation was going all Punk and New Wave, along comes Brian Setzer with his retro rockabilly band sound and that rockin' stand-up bass.
Tin — "For Those About To Rock", AC/DC. Another fine group with lots of hits, including this one, and a lot of staying power over the years.
Excellent battle this week, GGH. An eclectic mix of quality songs and artists!
Deb#1
There is certainly a variety of styles to choose from this week. Normally I would vote Queen up and AC/DC down, but not here. It's a better than average AC/DC song for me and a less than average Queen. I just never liked "Somebody to Love" by Queen.
I tried to find a song by a Brian but I kept running up into songs that had already been posted. Brian Hyland's "Sealed with a Kiss" came to mind but I see Al posted a link already, so I'll just concentrate on the votes.
Gold - I'm Waiting For The Day by The Beach Boys (featuring Brian Wilson)
Silver - Stray Cat Strut by The Stray Cats (featuring Brian Setzer)
Bronze - For Those About To Rock by AC/DC (featuring Brian Johnson)
Tin - Somebody to Love by Queen (featuring Brian May)
Nice week, GGH
"What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone."
paul g adsett
greetings from somewhere triangulated off bermuda.
gold: 'i'm waiting for the day'
- well, who wouldn't be?
silver: 'cat strut'
- retrotastic.
saw 'em live several times and wondered just how this was hip.
but it always was.
and still is.
plus, the wondrous dave edmunds had a hand in it.
bronze: 'for those about to rock'co
- pomprock at its almost preposterous.
gimme bon over brian any day.
tin: 'somebody to love'
- pomprock at its just about most preposterous.
maybe it's just me, but...
for heaven's sake!
for unadulterated style, soul'n'bluesful pop,
we were extremely fortunate to be in the presence of
ms evie sands in a club in her hometown of brooklyn
(living and working in la of course nowadays) on friday night.
first of a flurry of nyc dates with band including teresa cowles
(played carol kaye in the 'love and mercy' movie),
who we'd met with stevie k at the hollywood bowl 'pet sounds' concert
a couple of years back
(just to keep this aside vaguely on-topic).
much fun saying hello and surprising them before the gig
(the look on evie's face!).
she recorded a lot of chip taylorsongs way way back
('angel of the morning' / 'i can't let go' / any way that you want me'...)
but doesn't just rely on a fine back catalogue.
numbers from her new album figured in the set
and she's sounding great.
hoping she'll get to uk next year.
over and out...
and so in the spirit of retro-goodieness,
from the solo album 'teddy boys don't knit'
(that relates to the stray cats stylee of music, if only marginally),
here's a ridiculous favourite of mine by
viv stanshall of the bonzo dog doo dah band

Jeffrey Eckhart
August 16, 1956-September 21, 2022


Last month I identified George Bailey and Archie Bunker, as media representations of the middle and working classes, respectively, created by progressive middle class writers. I suspect that left-of-center middle-class Americans are often more affected by the American imaginary of a classless society, where entrepreneurial opportunity and humane values go hand-in-hand, than are the upper or working classes.
Historically the working class was divided along the issue of class. While socialists and anarchists understood class in terms of a fundamental antagonism between labor and capital, the Knights of Labor, one of the most significant organizations of the 1880s, upheld the nobility of all labor and worked to unite all workers under one banner: skilled and unskilled labor, men and women, blacks and whites, transcending the very deep antagonisms of the day based on race, creed, gender and skill. All were welcome, even small businessmen, as long as they recognized the nobility of labor. The opposition was between the "producing" classes and the greedy bankers/ big business/monopolies. The Knights championed worker-owned cooperatives and fought the bosses not just for the 8-hour day but to redeem society for the good of all. It sounds so hauntingly familiar!
Today, when progressive leaders like Robert Reich (Saving Capitalism For the Many, Not the Few) and Joseph Stieglitz (Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy) speak of reform, their words recall the Knights, dedicated to bringing forth a modicum of economic fairness and civic virtue in terms of higher wages and less inequality within healthy functioning communities. Today's Knights embrace an updated version of the producer ideology, with its sense of America as a nominally classless society where labor and capital are not at odds with one another. The dream is still America as the land of opportunity, with its iconic story of rags to riches. The panacea is policy change with government regulation and oversight to end the transfer of wealth from American workers to the top one percent.
The Next System Project (NSP), an initiative co-chaired by James Speth (environmentalist) and Gar Alperovitz (historian and political economist), is a product of the Democracy Collaborative that underwrites the New Economy Movement. (See December's article). Speth's NSP report, "Getting to the Next System: Guideposts on the Way to a New Political Economy," explains why system change is necessary; what it would look like; and how we might build it. It is very close in detail to what must be the economic and philosophical foundations of the changes desired by most American progressives.
However, my disagreement with Speth concerns his reworking of the American Dream. Though he rejects Reich's reformed economy based on continued growth and turns towards one in which environmentalism is civic virtue and allied with the individual right to happiness, he refuses to deal with the intrinsic Capitalist struggle between Capital and Labor. Instead of re-evaluating our membership in a multi-cultural working class, with its historical mission as the engine of change, he posits the growth of a mass movement on a rearrangement of values, away from a materialism that is "toxic for happiness" and towards our earlier Puritan and Quaker traditions.
Sorry, we can't go back. We can't return to Reich's Middle Class America of the 1950s nor can we revive a pre-industrial rural culture for our urban post-industrial age. None of the current progressive imaginings noted here have taken on the issue of power and its relationship to actually existing capitalism nor how that very relationship undermines the growth of mass movements, the possibility of democracy and the pursuit of happiness for the many and not the few.
We are trapped by an imagined national identity based on the notion of God's chosen people, the exceptional nation, the Puritan shining city on the hill. Sacvan Bercowitz, in The American Jeremiad, argues that 'America' is an ideological construct, an imaginary, shaped over time to bridge the contradictions between our Puritan heritage and 19th Century industrial capitalism. America as a middle class society became our 20th Century addition, though it existed for little more than 30 years (1947-1977). Now that the middle class has been hollowed out, we move onto the 21st Century additions, the new entrepreneurism and a fraudulent "sharing economy." For progressives, attempting to tap into such imaginings is a dead end.
As I noted last month, we need to build an emboldened working class with a global class consciousness, willing to share the earth with all its inhabitants. That's the story we need to tell; one I will be exploring in future articles.
