I am 77 years old and the day is only 24 little hours. I wasn't the only one saying Trump was coming. The great American philosopher Kinky Friedman died in june of 24 before America committed suicide. My wife and I wore out the grooves in our 1970 vinyl 33.3 Sold America album. He wrote the Ballad of Charles Joseph Whitman and in 2025 Who are we to say the boy's insane?
Percy Shelley wrote Ozymandias and Mary Shelley wrote Modern Prometheus. The Golem story but first the Greek the TRICKSTER
