Todd Rundgren tells Trump supporters to stay home.

Granted, he was relevant 40 years ago, but still.....
From Huffingpaintpost-
Todd Rundgren has a warning for supporters of President Donald Trump: Keep away.
“Don’t come to my show,” Rundgren told Variety. “Because you won’t have a good time.”
Rundgren’s latest album features the anti-Trump song “Tin Foil Hat,” which he recorded with Donald Fagen of Steely Dan.
Variety’s Chris Willman said the new tune reminded him of seeing a couple walk out of a show last year after Rundgren criticized Trump from the stage. But the man behind hits such as “Hello It’s Me,” “I Saw The Light” and “Bang The Drum All Day,” said such a response doesn’t bother him.
Addressing Trump supporters, he said:
“I don’t understand your frickin’ values. Because I’m not singing about that. If you don’t understand that basic thing, you’re just fooling yourself. I guarantee that in this show, if you’re a Trump supporter, you will likely be offended. Let the buyer beware! I mean, if you can’t take a joke, or you can’t admit that you’ve made a mistake, you don’t belong with the rest of us.”
Rundgren laughed at the end of his comments, Willman noted.

I'm being completely honest and non-ironic when I say: "Who?"

She's certainly very talented. But what makes her an expert on politics?
I'd like to hear Britney Spear's opinions on this.

"I'm getting fucking sick of guys named TODD!"
"Christian love bears evil, but it does not tolerate it. It does penance for the sins of others, but it is not broadminded about sin. Real love involves real hatred: whoever has lost the power of moral indignation and the urge to drive the sellers from temples has also lost a living, fervent love of Truth."
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

I love Carlin and I've never seen this one.
I never thought Todd was a pussy name. For me it's got to be Tristan. It's like his momma was trying way to hard to come up with a cool name. "Here's my really cool son, Tristan." Oh yeah, well Tristan is getting his ass beat all through middle school. No tough guy has ever been named Tristan. No one has ever said, "Here comes Tristan; I hope he doesn't beat me up again!"
If any of your names are Tristan, then please forgive my transgression. And please don't beat me up.

I was considering buying a ticket to Steely Dan a few months ago. So glad I missed it now...

Living in a blue college town, I'm surrounded by young progressives, which I can shrug off as youthful (if misguided) idealists, but the ones who chap me are the old hippie leftists, who cling to their resentment (of enemies imagined, usually) with a bile most bitter.
As they say, small minds always need their Emmanuel Goldsteins.
There's a great quote somewhere that says not all "religions" have a god, but they do all have a devil.
That said, every Justin and Jared I've ever known was either a douche or a dweeb.
