Are you flirting with me?

I'm with you right up to the ageism. The folks who persecuted Aaron were older than him, but they were not boomers, and what they did had nothing to do with his age or theirs.

Bigotry is always wrong.

good point, but I think that fits the message in the song too. This guy is a bit lost when it comes to love.

If the peole believe he has an overwhelming mandate, they will be a lot slower to kick him in the teeth. It will soon be too late.

Those non-voters matter a lot because Trump is acting like he has some kind of enormous overwhelming mandate, and there is no evidence to back that up.

The reason they have contracts is so they can take this to court instead of striking.

However, after this goes through a bunch of courts and ends up in the "supreme" one....

That 49.8% is misleading - it implies that 49.8% of the country support him, but it counts only the votes that were actually cast. He only got votes from about 30% of eligible voters.

Of course we can't know who all those non-voters wanted to win, but I'd rather not imply that nearly half of all americans voted for him.

It is most certainly not sovereign US territority. We began leasing it from Cuba in 1903.

ETA: If it were US, the prisoners there would have rights. That's the whole point of putting a prison there.

We need to get to know each other. More than ever before.

Thank you, very cool bot!

I myself use NewPipe to browse the tube. Why do I use the tube to post my videos then? because unfortunately they still have all the viewers.

I'll be adding my stuff to PeerTube soon.

The recent horrible events in New Orleans reminded me of another disaster that happened there 20 years ago. This is a song about that.

As for the beard... I don't really know anything. I didn't try, I just hate shaving so I didn't do it for a long time. On the other hand, I love playing harmonica, so I have to shave a little. Do NOT try playing harmonica with a mustache!!

Thank you so much!

I made a studio album in 2008 with most of these songs on it. It featured a bunch of really great musicians I knew when I lived in New England. It's not for sale anywhere, but you can hear some of the songs here:

The videos are new though, I just did Honey Please this morning!

I wrote this song a long time ago, but was inspired to post it now because of the new Dylan movie.

An ode to the ice cream man, who brought me such joy as a child. The pursuit made it special, not the treat.

*Actually an old song. New rendition.

 

When I subscribe to someone's youtube channel through Newpipe, does their subscriber count on youtube go up? Or is subscribing just telling Newpipe to bookmark that content for me, but doesn't tell youtube anything?

The reason I ask is because the subscriber count on youtube could be an underestimate that way.
