The_Ventures_A_Go_Go_Dancer
Created with Roland Fantom 06, internal Sequencer; Original from The Ventures, 1965

I started a new hobby. I like electronic music but I've never learned playing any instrument. That has not stopped me getting a synth and starting to. It's more like programming for the moment. I did a cover of the Ventures' "A Go Go Dancer" (1965). Hope you like it!

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that:
1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers
3) Poverty is a policy choice
4) Health care is a human right
5) Strikes work
Let's keep fighting for a better world.
