#1 When some bands pull out of SXSW over military affiliations, Abbott says good riddance

#2 Scanning the list of the boycotting bands, we see the name Enola Gay. Apparently an Irish noise-punk band (whatever that means), old geezers would associate the name with the B-29 that dropped the first A-bomb on Hiroshima. Seems delightfully tone deaf for a bunch of woke hipsters protesting 'genocide'. Or maybe they are just stupid.

#3 Or maybe they are just stupid.
Or gay.

Enola is Alone spelled backwards.

#4 SXSW is another event that didn't recover from COVID. Probably gone in two more years.

#5 Fine taking that Ukraine Weapons Dollars last year.

Its like they don't have a real moral foundation.

And Bootsy Collins is a headliner? Had to roll him on stage two decades ago.

#10 #5 And Bootsy Collins is a headliner?

Always loved his sound -- the bass that launched a thousand slaps? -- even if I'd pay not to have to listen to most of what he did with it. [Bootsy and revolutionary snare dude back a George and Hillary duet as they limp uptown between Childe Hassam Palestinian flags]

#11 Bootsy’s big on supporting music in Cincinnati, and supporting Cincinnati in general. We’re all awfully fond of him. Most recently he’s been involved in the Kings Records foundation, which is working to turn the site into a museum for Kings Records and music in Cincinnati generally.
