in case you missed it, here's the link.
if you don't know who ariel is, he's a gifted pop artist -- beloved by all, until those in the "music journalism" grift found out he supported trump. so they destroyed him.
The record company, called Mexican Summer, dropped Ariel - out of that typical cowardly response to cancel culture. These are the people who turn on the victims to save their own hide. So, when will people start asking about "Mexican Summer?" is that an appropriate name for a record company not in Mexico? Do you sense some cultural appropriation going on?
Anyway, here's the link to the interview.
beneath that is a link to one of ariel's greatest songs (named by Pitchfork as best song of the year roughly 10 years ago). The song will stick in your head like gorilla glue.

Morning Gutter Gang and a fine damp morning it is up our way. I'll kick it into gear soon. Honest.
Today is the 78th birthday for star of stage and screen, Kevin Kline. What a great collection of films he's
starred in over the years. Plus he's married to Phoebe Cates--ya gotta remember her.
Anyhow, I did mention he's a star of the stage as well, earning 3 Tony Awards for his performances on Broadway. So coming up is a short song from the show Pirates of Penzance. But wait, what's the name of this song? Oh "It Really Doesn't Matter"...
A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store. The store clerk called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor. The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery. He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital. A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard loaded with several forms, and a pen.
She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment. Do you have health insurance? she asked.
He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."
The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"
He replied, "No money in the bank."
"Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?" asked the irritated nun.
He said, "I only have a spinster sister and she is a nun."
The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God."
"Perfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law."
