I went to see them at the Georgia Theater in Athens GA in 1979 - Pylon was supposed to give their debut performance.

The owners would not let either band go on because they just went broke.

Both bands said the would play for free.

The owners would have nothing of it.

I was pissed.

As I was leaving, the owner of the local cool record store (Chapter 3 Records) stood outside and told everyone leaving The Cramps would play in the loft above his store.

I didn't believe him - but it did happen - and all that beheld it said it was boffo.

Kicking myself to this day.

"“Mr. Kushner previously volunteered to share with Congress what he knows about these meetings. He will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry,” said Jamie Gorelick, one of his attorneys."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/jared-kushner-now-a-focus-in-russia-investigation/2017/05/25/f078db74-40c7-11e7-8c25-44d09ff5a4a8_story.html?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.400bfefffeb3

"Jamie S. Gorelick (/ɡəˈrɛlɪk/; born May 6, 1950) is an American lawyer who served as the Deputy Attorney General of the United States from 1994 to 1997, during the Clinton administration. She has been a partner at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr since July 2003 and also serves as a director of Amazon.com since February 2012.[1]

Gorelick served on British Petroleum's Advisory Council, as their top legal counsel after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.[2] She was appointed by former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle to serve as a commissioner on the bipartisan National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, which sought to investigate the circumstances leading up to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and also served as Vice Chairman of Fannie Mae."

<snip>
"The Mammadov family, described by Foreign Policy magazine as “The Corleones of the Caspian,” has a reputation for using their government positions to enrich themselves and their partners — which includes construction firms tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard."

Hmmmmm. Does that sound like any other family we know? I've got it! That sounds exactly like the Trump family!

The Trump family's reach far exceeded their grasp. In order to finance Trump's luxury hotel "empire" (because legitimate money won't go near the Trumps) they had to lie down with a BUNCH of dogs. Now they're surprised they've gotten fleas.

Jared and Ivanka always pretend to be the more sane, nicer side of the Trump crime family. It's all an act. They're as dirty and vile as the rest. How I'd LOVE to see this entire family in prison. I think they should be housed with the same, seedy people they did business with on the outside. They're NOT nice people, and the Trumps would be in a world of hurt locked up with them. It's exactly what they deserve though.

Except the polish and soft voice -- that was no doubt finishing school. Just don't be fooled by the veneer.

Ivanka and Jared should probably not be sharing a lawyer, or won't be, soon enough. They may want to work out a deal like the Blagoieviches so that one can stay with the children while the other is in prison, taking turns.

I can hardly wait till the whole rotten gang is gone.
