Wow, this post sure sent me back 50 years! The witty host introducing the two Johns singing "Deportee" is Ralph Emery (b. 1933–d. 2022). I listened to the Ralph Emery Show out of Nashville, Tennessee, every morning throughout the 1970s before leaving home to drive "up the mountain" to teach high school. He always started my day on a happy note. Emery was the person who introduced Naomi and Wynonna Judd to the world during those years. They were frequent guests, but in those days, Emery called them the "Soap Sisters." They were, of course, mother and daughter instead of sisters, but most of the audience did not know that then. Emery named them the Soap Sisters because Naomi (the mother) sometimes talked about making her own soap. If not for Emery, I think far fewer people would ever have heard of or admired the Judds. Naomi, who also died in 2022, is also the mother of Ashley Judd, the actor and author.

Beautiful! Thank you!
That cartoon with the American flag prison bars is brilliant. I wish it wasn’t so realistic.
Thank you for every segment of this post! Restacking now!
WOW Little Feat
Saw them a lot over the years
At The Fillmore in SF and The Fieldhouse in Iowa City and a free concert at Grinnell
It is scary how organized and powerful the opposition is and how long they have been active
They are a Strong Factor, one way or another, with quite a few of our neighbors
The Democrats have to get themselves together and find a way to appeal to the average
American and perhaps put the progressive agenda on the back burner
The Midterms Loom Large, and it is Essential to take back the House and Senate
We simply can't afford to lose the average American Vote any longer
The opposition is Juggernaut and seems to be getting stronger each and every day
This is WAR
