| rantnrave:// Send him to his room without MCDONALD'S... To slightly paraphrase the increasingly socially clueless and uber-talented KANYE WEST: "Monster, monster, monster, monster. He's a motherf***ing monster." PRESIDENT BANNON golden showers AMERICA. Dying to see how FOX NEWS reports on his comments. Not hopeful as TUCKER CARLSON's show takes off with the same argument porn over a constructive debate. Ratings are heroin... MONTREAL looking better and better... CARL BERNSTEIN and JAKE TAPPER droppin' science. I love VAN JONES. Please, someone, introduce me... New REDEF SETS! From WOODY GUTHRIE to RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to BEYONCÉ, musicians have never stopped raising their voices in protest. But the sound and the meaning of that protest is ever-changing. What will it sound like under PRESIDENT TRUMP, and who will listen? REDEF MusicSET: "What's Going On: Protest Music Then, Now and In Between"... For all the stars that have played there, ATLANTA's sports history is littered with flameouts and disappointments. Its teams are known more for coming close -- and for their embarrassments -- than for championships. Can the FALCONS change that? REDEF SportsSET: "Atlanta: A Town Waiting to Be Crowned"... Essential coverage from the PARIS menswear shows: reviews, analysis, backstage scenes, and street style roundups. REDEF FashionSET: " Paris Men's Fashion Week: A/W 2017"... That triple espresso before my psychiatrist appointment was a huge mistake... I like to cook. I'm not bad at it. I don't love cleaning up. All I can think of after the meal is: How can one person make such a mess?... If you shrug your shoulders proverbially or literally I can't work with you... If you stump, you are subject to criticism no matter who you are... I'm going to DISNEYLAND... Will there be an American Spring?... Looking for seriously talented fill-in curators for me at MediaREDEF. CVs to [email protected]. | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
