You may have realized it already when you posted the photo, but the goober in the middle is the illustrious James Alex Fields Jr., Donnie’s new chauffeur, once he gets pardoned.

What a pity.

Bloom said she tried to “stay out” of Fields’ “political views. […]I don’t really get too involved,” she said. “I mean, he had an African-American friend.”

The only thing missing is a MAGA cap.

Mr. Fields Mother:

“I thought it had something to do with Trump. Trump’s not a white supremacist,” said Bloom.

It’s such a sad cliche. “I’m not racist. Really. I know black people and I listen to rap.”

When it comes right down to it, playing Nazi is a sad cliche.

It’s just that it gets deadly.

I don’t think he’ll do too well in prison.

He’ll do fine. He’ll join the Aryan Nation or another white supremacist prison gang.

Fields’ mother Samantha Bloom told the Associated Press in an interview Saturday night that she was not aware her son was attending a white supremacist rally.

“I just knew he was going to a rally,” she said. “I didn’t know it was white supremacists. I thought it had something to do with Trump.”

Bloom said she tried to “stay out” of Fields’ “political views.”

“I don’t really get too involved,” she said. “I mean, he had an African-American friend.”

Maybe she should have gotten more involved earlier in his life.

I am sick of the “he had an African-American friend” excuse. All, or nearly all the racists I know attack blacks, Hispanics and other minorities but quickly add “not all of them” or “I have a black friend” as though that is supposed to immunize them from racism.

Big deal about his African-American friend who coulda been a Nazi-lover too.

I can’t disagree. Makes me think some stylistic assistance is needed. They practically cry out for it.

I’m thinking an 80’s sized can of Aquanet and a Zippo. YMMV.

Mozart and Verdi for me. I worked theater lighting and sound in my youth down in Oz and the opening season of the Sydney Opera House was amazing. They had both “The Magic Flute” and “Nabucco” in the rotation, I just sat in the wings every night and soaked it all in. Just amazing for an 18 year old hearing it all for the first time…

Richard Strauss, the greatest evah!

Those who use the “I have an African-American” friend qualifier probably don’t realize said friend doesn’t reciprocate the feeling.

I love it! I’m actually a classical musician but grew up in a family of Polish immigrants. All of my cousins could play the accordion, and we all absolutely knew how to dance the polka by about 3 years of age. (It doesn’t feel right to joke somehow at this time, but the music made me smile.)
