A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs - Song 177: “Never Learn Not to Love” by the Beach Boys, Part Two — “Is it True What They Say About Dixie?”

For those who haven’t heard the announcement I posted, songs from this point on will sometimes be split among multiple episodes, so this is the second part of a multi-episode look at the song “Never Learn Not to Love” by the Beach Boys, and the links between Charles Manson and the LA music scene. Click the full post to read liner notes, links to more information, and a transcript of the episode.

This one is later than normal, for reasons explained in the episode. The next one should be up much sooner.

Patreon backers also have a twenty-five-minute bonus episode available, on “Israelites” by Desmond Dekker.

Tilt Araiza has assisted invaluably by doing a first-pass edit, and will hopefully be doing so from now on. Check out Tilt’s irregular podcasts at http://www.podnose.com/jaffa-cakes-for-proust and http://sitcomclub.com/

1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: The Future Of The Federal Judiciary

Last week, the House passed a bill to create 63 new permanent judgeships. Case backlogs and delays have had many lawmakers saying we need more federal judges. If the bill did become law, President-elect Donald Trump would have 22 new seats to fill. The legislation originally had bipartisan support, but President Joe Biden vowed to veto it, with the support of many Democrats.

In his first term, Trump put more judges in place than almost any president in history. Biden has made his mark too, surpassing that number. As of last week, he had also put more judges of color on the bench than any of his predecessors.

Federal judges almost always serve life terms, meaning each of these picks can have lasting consequences for Americans.

We look back and look ahead at our federal judiciary.

The Bulwark Podcast - Bill Kristol: Fake Nicey-Nicey Sh**t

ABC News and George Stephanopoulos have joined the preemptive capitulation parade by settling Trump's defamation suit—and by conspicuously paying out protection money ahead of the inauguration. The potential chilling effect on a key First Amendment issue is breathtaking. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney backs off of his criticism of Trump and Vance. Plus, the anti-oligarchic, semi-populist grounds for challenging the incoming administration.

Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.
