Would Trump Survive Another Term? Who is the Vice President? The My Pillow Guy? Rude Julie Anna? Sucker Tucker? Ivanka? Why Won't Trump Tell US?

Trump Says: DO NOT VOTE! The 2024 Election is Rigged and Voting Just Legitimizes Their Corrupt System. STAY HOME - BOYCOTT ALL ELECTIONS!

Headline: Trump Tells His Supporters Not to Vote in the Next Election, Which Would Actually Be Great for Humanity...

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/10/donald-trump-tells-supporters-not-to-vote

and now for something completely different...

#ConvictTrumpNow! 1/6 Was an Inside Job. We HAVE the Evidence... DOJ: Do Your Job! Lock Him Up!

I emailed the Department Of Justice and Said:
Donald Trump appears to Have Committed
Mail Fraud or Wire Fraud... He deserves his day
in court to defend himself against such
charges... BUT... He Has to Be Arrested First...
That's Where YOU Come in. ARREST TRUMP
NOW... It's Obvious... Headline: House Jan.
6 panel says Trump raised millions for a
nonexistent election defense fund. NPR:

Most People Prefer Majority Rule... That's What the

Revolution of 1776 was All About... Throwing OUT the

King and Choosing our President Using Elections...

However... Republicans Know That They Will

Continue to

LOSE if We Have Free and Fair Elections... They are

the Minority Party and MILLIONS of Voters Chose to

#RUNAWAY From Trump... So Their Plan is to Steal

the Elections... WE MUST STOP THE GOP STEAL!

"I was a Lifelong Republican But, I Had to Vote For

Joe Biden... Trump Was Just Too Crazy and a Total

Failure at Everything." - Quotation from

I predict the GOP will Take the House in 2022 and Impeach Biden. He will not be convicted in the Senate. So They will Impeach Him again... and again... and again... perhaps Eight Times before the 2024 election... Biden Will Not Run in 2024... Gavin Newsom Will Win the 2024 Election... and Camelot will Reign Again... Like JFK and Jackie Kennedy...


and MD Replied on FaceBorg:
Why would there be an impeachment? He has to commit a crime for that. Eight times you do realize how ludicrous that sounds...


and I Replied:
I predict that they will "Find" a Bogus Crime to Charge him with... Their entire goal is REVENGE and Lying is Their #1 Tool... Yes, it sound absurd but That's what TrumpNiks® DO! He does not have to Actually Commit a Real Crime in Reality... He only needs to have a Majority of the Representatives VOTE for Impeachment...


The House Accuses a President of a Crime... Their Accusation may be Totally False but... That's What Impeachment Is... An Accusation... The Senate Holds a Trial and Determines Guilt or Innocence... Is the Entire Process Corrupt and a MOCKERY of Justice? Yes It Is...


Maybe they will Impeach Biden Five Times and Impeach Kamala Three Times... Just Make Up Phony Charges and VOTE...and each trial will take about three months... and then there will be the 2024 Election...

I No Longer sell THIS Hat Because Zazzle Asked me to Stop Making Money off of Someone Else's Name... In Fact, I donated all my Royalties to Charity, Just Like Greta asked Us to Do... But... Zazzle Can't Verify That... I Did Sell 21 Hats... and I Did donate over a Hundred Dollars... BUT... Zazzle Deleted This Product - Copyright Infringement... If you want a Hat... Make one Yourself... at Zazzle.com...

https://www.zazzle.com/store/gregvan/products?ps=24&st=date_created&dp=0&cg=0&vt=&qs=greta





On FaceBorg Someone Asked: So. How does everyone feel about using copyrighted images, symbols, characters, to make art you are going to SELL? Is it wrong? Is it stealing? Does it not matter? Can you get in trouble for it? What are your thoughts...


I replied: I don't do that anymore. I sell on Zazzle and they tell me when I've violated Copyright... and then Those Items are removed from my store. SO... I self censor... This became a big deal with my Embroidered Hat that said "Make America Greta Again" - It was my most popular hat and I DID Donate all Royalties to Charity... Just like Greta asked us all to Do... and then after selling those hats for a Year, Zazzle asked me to remove them from the Marketplace because I was Using a Celebrities name without permission... So I Stopped.


She asked: so even just the name greta got you in trouble?


I replied: They Thought so... and I'm sure I had many related keywords... climate change, ecology, global warming, earth, environmentalism, activism... It was obvious which Greta I was Talking about... Ironically... I sold a LOT of Hats for the First six months I had them for sale... and by the time Zazzle asked my to stop, sales had already gone to zero a month...


On Zazzle I was Selling Gifts that had a Text Art Smiley "Steal Your Face" Like this: (~);-} and those products that had Keywords like Grateful or Dead were removed from the Marketplace... I think Zazzle's Computers Read the Product description and Keywords list looking for Copyright Infringement... because NO WAY would a Program know what (~);-} Means...


On My Youtube Channel I Posted two songs written by the Eagles. I Sang and Played the Guitar on "Hotel California" and "Witchy Woman" - I was not selling my recordings... I was Just a Fan that Liked their songs and was happy to sing 'em for free on the internet... The Eagles' Lawyers asked me to take them down and threatened to have all my songs deleted if I didn't... So I did... Compare that action with the Grateful Dead Covers Project... In which you and your friends sing their songs... and enter your rendition in a contest... and the best band wins! FUN


She Said: I think that not being able to use a common name like greta is definitely going overboard


I replied: What is strange is that I use OTHER Celebrities names... I sell Buttons that say "Arrest Trump Now!" and that's OK...

Afghanistan. Our Soldiers were Wasting their Time fighting
a war that cannot be won for people that do not want us there.

Buying Used Stuff at Thrift Stores DOES NOT CAUSE
ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE Like Buying New Stuff Does.
When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to
Replace It.

They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using
pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave
Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the
Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on...
Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at
The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store)
does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local
People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought
ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a
Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home.
NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That
Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they
were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune
at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN
MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The
Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in
Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help.
I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just
too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used
Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find
thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like
the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..."
A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow
Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is
Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College
Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF!

“In 1967, there was word coming out of San Francisco of something stirring . . . a new kind of young people called hippies, and of an area where they had begun to congregate called Haight-Ashbury.” —Irving Penn
The Summer of Love attracted widespread media attention, with articles about the hippie scene in publications like Time and Newsweek. For his story in Look, photographer Irving Penn set up a makeshift studio in a barn in Sausalito. A rotating lineup of hippies, Hells Angels, and rock bands came through to be photographed.
Penn’s Summer of Love images capture a moment of electrifying social change, which forever altered Bay Area culture.

Decades of economic policies that favor Wall Street and corporate CEOs have created an economy that is dangerously out of balance. Corporate executives continue to line their pockets with our labor and ensure the rules are written to favor them. We cannot allow corporate greed to grow unchecked. We cannot allow the interests of the rich and powerful to dictate policies that have such profound effects on working families.

America’s working people deserve a voice in the rules of our economy. We believe increased accountability and responsibility must be required of our corporations and our capital markets. And we will continue to campaign for increased corporate accountability, be the leading voice in reining in executive pay and advocate for sensible tax policies that make sure corporations pay their fair share.

Our pundits seem perplexed at DeSantis' policies. But he is doing exactly what he wants and he has a plan. And it's working. You see him recruiting cops and teachers all over the country as he travels around probably on our dime. He attacks Disney, attacks women, attacks LGBTQ and he attacks blacks with his book banning. He is effectively forcing out everyone in the state who doesn't agree with him. He is attacking the largest employer who employs 77,000 cast members, Disney. Because a lot of people who work there with the exception of bus drivers who are usually right wing, are libs. And this makes the two counties next to Disney vote blue. So the plan is to attack occupations like teachers and cops, and university administration to replace them with maggots. Good liberal cops are leaving. Good doctors are leaving, Black people who fear what's next are going to leave, He wants to crush Disney into a magga way of doing business to force out the libs at Disney. He's also attacking the teachers union here to force out the liberal teachers. He has put maga maggots in positions of power in the university system to fire all left wing heads of colleges and universities. And refused tenure to any one left wing. All this despite the labor shortage in this country right now. The pundits don't know what to make of this! And they think he's stupid. Because their perspective is from someone who lives in NY! But DeSantis is Yale educated. And he is fine with people underestimating him! The man is Machiavellian! And he is smart and cunning. He might not be a very personable man, and no one seems to like him personally because he has no social skills. And he is as petty as they come. Getting even with anyone he perceives as his opponent or has bested him or humiliated him.

There is no doubt in my mind that this man is trying to drive out all liberals from this state. Or at least as many as he can. The last group he will drive out is the few elderly libs. Because everyone else is motivated by jobs and the ability to make a living, he can attack libs from that angle. And he's doing it successfully! And libs don't seem to see what he's doing. And they had better because other states will take his playbook and do the same! And to be honest, he didn't get this idea himself. TX has been doing it for a while. That's why it's so hard for libs to get a foothold there. But I think he has just taken what they have been doing and doubled down on it here. Because if you can pass laws like he is doing, and make it to where if we protest we risk our lives by being legally run down in the street! And arrest people for staying overnight at a protest. Then you are even more fascist than TX. And that's saying something. DeSantis is NOT dumb. He is calculating. And what he's doing is long term. He's stuffing the courts with RW judges too. And approving the gerrymandering lines from his legislature, like no one's business. So dems can never win. The more you force out dems, the more maggot move in to take their place! Then you have less liberal votes here and more maggot votes. Florida used to be the swingiest of swing states. But he is making it solid red. So bottom line. He is attacking industries where there are a lot of libs or a lot of people who work in that industry. This makes a shift from blue to red. Next step after you have forced libs into a few blue states? We know the Senate only gets 2 senators per state. So you will have a disproportionate number of senators who will shove in conservative federal court judges and SCOTUS judges. And we have seen what the federal courts are doing. This brings in a permanent branch of government who are RW. And who will impose their will and ideology on the rest of the states.

AMERICA NEEDS TO CONFRONT ITS CULTURE OF GUNS AND FEAR

Just in the last week, there have been four shootings of ordinary, unarmed, regular people going about their lives simply for encountering the wrong armed person. While one incident might be abnormal, and two coincidental, the fact that four occurred within just a week of each other, in four different states, speaks to how Americans have been absolutely consumed by a culture that relishes deadly weapons and conditions us to live in a constant state of fear. 
The combination of both a high proliferation of guns and our fear of the unfamiliar has led to this week’s disturbing acts of violence, and should be a wake-up call for all of us to examine how things got to this point and how to turn things around before they get worse.

https://www.occupy.com/article/america-needs-confront-its-culture-guns-and-fear#sthash.gNNEAtcT.dpbs

Australia and New Zealand: A resounding success for gun reform...
America’s epidemic of mass shootings temporarily slowed down during the Covid-19 pandemic, when most people stayed home to slow the spread of the virus. But in 2021, as soon as society began to reopen in earnest, mass shootings at schools, churches, parks, stores, festivals, and elsewhere resumed. The Gun Violence Archive characterizes a mass shooting as any violent event in which at least four people, not including the shooter, are injured by firearms. By this metric, there have been 18 mass shootings in the United States since the April 10 mass shooting at a bank in downtown Louisville, Kentucky – including yet another in Louisville. There have been so far more mass shootings than days in 2023.
The seemingly daily occurrence of mass shootings is likely to continue unabated given how many guns there are in the United States. A 2017 study estimated there were nearly 400 million guns in the US despite just 320 million residents. And given the abnormally high number of mass shooting events in 2023, it’s clear that the tepid bipartisan bill that passed Congress in the aftermath of the massacre of 21 young children and staff at Uvalde Elementary School in 2022 was not enough. Addressing the root causes will require that the US look to the international community for inspiration.
In 2019, after a man killed 50 people at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand with assault weapons, then-Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern proposed a ban on assault weapons and semi-automatic firearms, along with a mandatory buyback program for the banned guns. The legislation was not only endorsed by New Zealand’s gun lobby, but it was also supported by the opposition party and by the nation’s gun owners. New Zealand hasn’t had a mass shooting since the Christchurch massacre. 

SEE? There is a Solution to the Insanity of GUN DEATHS!

and then SE Said: 

The closest thing the Bay Area has to KCRW is KFJC, 89.7 FM. KFJC broadcasts from Foothill Junior College, and it's publicly funded, mostly by listener contributions. KFJC play a very eclectic mix of music. I can clearly remember listening to KFJC all the way back in 1981 when I was just a kid. Back then, we used to record songs off the radio onto cassette tapes. I remember I had several cassettes made up of songs I recorded off KFJC. One of those songs is "Everything's Gone Green" by New Order. I had that song recorded on a cassette for at least a couple of years before I finally learned what it was, and then I ran out and bought the 12" single, which I still have. "Everything's Gone Green" was one of New Order's first songs as New Order (after Joy Division). I've been a New Order fan ever since.

I can remember some of the other bands I recorded off of KFJC in the early 80's: Altered Images, Adam and the Ants, Bow Wow Wow, the B-52's, to name a few. We didn't get a commercial "modern rock" station in the Bay Area until the mid-80's, so before that, KFJC was one of the only places you could hear that kind of music. And if I heard something on the radio and wanted to know what it was, I could call up the station and the dj would answer the phone, and they were always more than happy to tell me all about the music they were playing. That's part of that connection through radio which I'm always trying to put into words. Radio dj's on stations like KFJC are always so happy when listeners call in and show an interest in what they're playing. I know that sometimes my phone calls made their day because it told them there was someone out there listening and paying attention to what they were doing on the air. And even now, if I hear something on KFJC that catches my attention, I know I can still call them up and they'll be super happy to know that someone is listening. That's what radio is all about.

Nowadays, KFJC plays a little of everything. I don't think kids record music off the radio onto cassette tapes anymore, but I bet there is a tween-aged kid somewhere in the Bay Area who is discovering something on KFJC which will change their life, just like I did back in 1981 when I recorded "Everything's Gone Green" onto a cassette tape.

and I Replied:

I too am a KFJC Fan. Mostly for the David Emory Conspiracies Exposed Talk Show... Government Coverups... He was Very Interested in the Kennedy Assassinations and The AIDS Virus... Was it a Bioweapon designed by the US Military? We Just Don't Know... and that makes me wonder... Was COVID-19 a Bioweapon Designed by the USA and DEPLOYED in China... and the Worldwide Pandemic was BLOWBACK?

One of Trump's advisors visited an elementary school classroom during his presidency and spoke to the class.

"My favorite subject in elementary school was vocabulary. Can anyone tell me what a tragedy is?"

One little boy piped up. "Like if my friend ran out of his yard onto the street and got hit by a car?"

"No, young man, that would be an ACCIDENT. A tragedy is something different."

Another little boy proffered: "If our school bus ran off a cliff and we all died?"

"Well, that would indeed be terrible, but we'd call that a GREAT LOSS, not a tragedy."

A sullen little girl in the front row spoke next. "Let's say Air Force One crashed, and you, Trump, and all the rest of his advisors died horribly."

"Yes! Yes! Very good, young lady, and do you know why that would be a tragedy?"

"Because it probably wouldn't be an accident, and it certainly would be no great loss."

Here's a Washington Post Article Hidden by a Paywall... 

"Sober Republicans certainly must know their threat to blow up the economy and cause a default is untenable. They probably know that draconian cuts they propose, which will amount to 22 percent of law enforcement, veterans benefits, health care and the rest of nondefense discretionary spending, won’t endear them to most voters. However, they might be under the illusion that instituting work requirements for food stamps and Medicaid is going to score with working people who resent others getting something for “free.” In fact, it’s rotten policy that will not encourage more people to work.

For starters, Republicans appear to operate under the presumption that most beneficiaries are mostly poor, able-bodied loafers sitting on the couch, grabbing benefits. That’s daft. People who can work need to work to get by. Food stamps — which provide just enough for minimal staples (and not enough for a healthy diet) — or free medication won’t pay for rent, utilities, transportation or clothing. It makes no sense for people to refrain from earning enough to pay for all their daily expenses for the “privilege” of getting nutritionally poor foods or seeing a doctor (rather than visiting the emergency room).

Moreover, data proves that the vast number of recipients are either working poor or wouldn’t be required to work anyway (e.g., people with disabilities, children, seniors in nursing care). The Kaiser Family Foundation found a significant majority of “non-elderly adult Medicaid enrollees who did not qualify based on a disability were already working full- or part-time.” Furthermore, “Most who were not working would likely meet exemptions from work requirement policies (e.g., had an illness or disability or were attending school), leaving just 7% of these enrollees to whom work requirement policies could be directed.”

We have evidence already from the Arkansas Medicaid work requirement experiment over a 10-month period and from experiments briefly in effect for Michigan and New Hampshire. Work rules applied to only 3 to 4 percent of recipients — that’s proof of the mischaracterization of these people as moochers. Of those who were affected, thousands got kicked out of the system not because they were slackers but because they didn’t complete the paperwork.

Many beneficiaries “didn’t know about the work requirement or whether it applied to them,” the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found. “It’s likely that people with disabilities were particularly at risk.” And those whose work is transitory (a lot one month and little the next) were at risk of going in and out of coverage.

Moreover, there was no evidence it increased the number of people working. The CBPP found that nearly all of the beneficiaries who met Arkansas’s new requirements “were already working before the rules took effect or because they complied with work requirements already in place under SNAP (formerly food stamps).”

The stick of losing benefits injures the unwary and creates more uninsured people:

A study by Harvard researchers found that the uninsured rate among low-income Arkansans aged 30-49 — the group potentially subject to work requirements — rose from 10.5 percent in 2016 to 14.5 percent in 2018, after the work requirement took effect. There was no similar increase for low-income Arkansans of other ages or for low-income people aged 30-49 in other, similar states. This finding refutes claims, for example from HHS Secretary Alex Azar, that most people leaving Medicaid due to the policy did so because they found jobs with health insurance. …

Beneficiaries already had enough reasons to work: they needed to pay their bills. But they often struggled with unstable work hours, lived in rural areas with few jobs, or faced other barriers to employment — and the state didn’t invest any new money in job training programs, services to address barriers, or supports like transportation to help beneficiaries connect to jobs.

When work requirements are instituted, states such as Arkansas do a rotten job notifying recipients and applicants and explaining the program. The Department of Health and Human Services found that “one year after implementation began, a survey of individuals subject to work requirements found one-third of them had not heard anything about the policy, while 44 percent were unsure whether the policy applied to them.”

Poor people’s health is adversely impacted. A 2021 HHS report found “that adults with chronic conditions in Arkansas were more likely to lose coverage.” Moreover, “50 percent reported serious problems paying off medical bills; 56 percent delayed seeking health care because of cost; and 64 percent delayed taking medications because of cost.” If the aim is to make poor people sicker, it “worked.”

Upon closer examination, we can see Republicans are taking away funds for food and medical coverage for poor people and sending the money to tax cheats. The estimated cost of the “savings” from denying food and health care to the poor is roughly the amount they want to take away from IRS funding that would be used to go after tax cheats (those people who are by definition stealing from the taxpayers). House Republicans say their Medicaid and SNAP cuts save tens of billions; the Congressional Budget Office score shows a $114 billion cost for repealing the IRS enforcement.

Taking a step back, the work requirements are advancing a noxious vision to make the government budget (taxes and spending) more regressive. MAGA Republicans wants to keep all the Trump tax cuts and eliminate President Biden’s plan to make corporations pay something and to tax stock buybacks. The things that help poor and middle-class people have either already expired at Republicans’ insistence (e.g., the child tax credit expansion) or have been put on the chopping block (e.g., $35 insulin, drug caps on Medicare, green-energy subsidies, student loans). One doesn’t have to be a “socialist” to think it grotesque to make the rich even richer as a result of cutting benefits to the poor.

and then on FaceBorg Jim Said - Grateful Dead: 

I got on the bus back in '78, when I received Europe 72 for Christmas. First of innumerable evenings with Jerry and the boys was the Uptown Theater, December 3, 1979 (Damn Rhino and Deadnet for limiting that Dave's Picks to 25K - missed getting it when it sold out in 1 day). Many more with Jerry solo and JGB.

After Jerry died, it was hard listening to the music without him. Such a huge hole to fill, and not just musically. Despite never wanting the a leader or a cult-like figure, he could not escape the role, and by all accounts it led him to his early grave. For all of us left behind, however, we had to adjust to a prospect of live Dead music without Jerry. It was hard, and I suspect not only for fans, but the band members themselves.

Starting with "The Other Ones" during the first Furthur Festival, I have gone to shows with every subsequent alignment of the remaining members of the Dead. Not a show goes by that I do not miss Jerry's guitar. No matter how talented the guitarist playing lead, or the person stepping up to the microphone to singe Jerry's lines, it is impossible to get over the expectation of hearing Jerry himself and impossible to stop yearning to hear him one more time live.

But we won't.

Jerry has been gone almost 30 years now. Almost as long as the Dead existed with him. Generations of kids not yet born when Jerry died are newly discovering the Dead, and many of them through live music events with the current members, in one iteration or another.

I had an epiphany at the Greek Theatre last year seeing Bobby and the Wolf Brothers with the Wolf Pack. I only went to the show because a dear friend called and offered me the ticket. However, as the first set unfolded - with almost all Jerry songs - I was drawn so deeply in by the music. And I had a number of realizations: Bob is SO underrated for his talent and musical vision. He is taking the music to places outside the shadow of Jerry, and honoring the beauty of the songs. These songs live and breathe, and they are a new set of American Standards. We are seeing how widely influential the Dead were, and how deep the songs have embedded themselves into a far larger body of music and musicians than most ever anticipated. Bobby and the Wolf Pack helped me hear the music beyond the expectation of hearing Jerry's leads, because the music wasn't arranged around Jerry's lead break structure. It liberated me from that expectation, and helped me hear the music in a new light. I could feel Jerry smiling from above in approval and respect for Bobby.

We are blessed to have every one of these post -Dead iterations. We are so fortunate that almost 30 years out from Jerry's passing that all of the surviving members are out there continuing to sew the seeds of the music they created, and creating new, exciting interpretations of these great songs for the enjoyment and discovery of Deadheads new and old and soon to be. They all just keep Trucking on. Enjoy them all, and enjoy the music, as it is a living breathing body of inspiration. The Music Never Stops, even though Jerry's gone (as well as Pigpen, Keith, Brent, Vince, Robert Hunter . . .) and nothing's gonna bring him back.

Enjoy these shows while you can - Phil is 83, Bob 75, Billy 76, Mickey 79. It will be in a blink of an eye that they are gone from us, playing celestial music in whatever space may await us. The music will survive, enjoy it in all its glorious permutations, tempos and supporting players who will carry on the torch for the community.

Lastly, please don't dominate the rap, Jack, if you got nothing new to say. From the time Pigpen died, to Keith and Donna leaving, to Brent passing, there was always someone complaining about the new iteration, saying the new music did not stand up to the old. Nonsense. Listen long enough, and you will find joy and new inspiration in every iteration, things you could never hear in earlier phases. Sure, have favorite eras, but respect and honor the whole journey. Can the negativity, or go anyplace else where it is welcome. It shouldn't be in this community.

We will survive, so will the music. Honor it, and respect and love each other.

and I replied:

I've had fun at every combination of players... especially LOCAL BANDS that Learned how to Play the Songs. Like that Casino Band at North Shore Lake Tahoe with the Janis Joplin Impersonator... My Cousin Declined a Couple of Free Tickets to The Fare Ye Well Concert in Santa Clara... but I went Both Nights... and 60,000 people singing along to every song was... EPIC... The Hotel was Fun too... Smoking Weed in the Hot Tub... and a Kid Strumming the Guitar and singing at Poolside... THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!
