One of the greatest concerts I ever attended was 50 years ago today (Dec. 6, 1975). Peter Frampton and Rory Gallagher. If you want to know how good the show was, listen to "Irish Tour '74" and "Frampton Comes Alive" back-to-back

Replace the word "Somalis" with the word "Jews" and this rant would sound like something from a 1930's Nuremburg rally.
President Trump on Tuesday delivered blatantly xenophobic public remarks, which included attacking Somali immigrants in Minnesota and calling them “garbage.”
