When I look at the giddy, brainwashed white faces behind DT (forget the lies spewed in the mic) it hit me what he is: a cult leader. Like Jones, Asahara, Manson. The most adored ever, with millions of disciples. And we gave him control of the free world!

It's not a big leap from "Send Her Back!" to "String Them Up!" I find all this very chilling. How terrifying must it be to those who fled pre-WW2 Germany? For 2020, expect to see the MAGA caps replaced with pointy white hoods.

Thanks to all who contributed to the Matthew Seligman tribute fund, raising £25,000 to help his dependents. Here's a photo montage I made with shots contributed by his close friends, and a lovely song composed by Bruce Woolley. We'll miss you, Matthew.

If you're in Baltimore tomorrow (10th) at Enoch Pratt Library on Cathedral @6 :30 pm, my students are performing a live score that they composed for an amazing silent, black-and-white, 1928 French expressionist adaptation of E.A.Poe's 'Fall of the House of Usher'--and it's FREE!

Sure, Don. Let's stop the vote count right now. Then you win PA, GA and NC.... but hang on, it also means you lose Arizona and Nevada where Biden's currently leading, which puts Biden at 270 and in the White House. Never mind. You declared victory 2 nights ago so you're ok.
