The trouble with most musicians today is that they are copycats. Of course you have to start out playing like someone else. You have a model, or a teacher, and you learn all that he can show you. But then you start playing for yourself.

As #Drumpf takes off for #Scotland to visit his #GolfCourses etc, #TheNational #Scottish newspaper rolls out the newsprint welcome mat and spares no truthful details...

Offering #Prez the #FrontPage #AboveTheFold ink he always desired : #ConvictedFelon #Republican leader, who was found liable for #sexualabuse and defamation, will visit golf courses

Phillip Bump's farewell after being downsized by #ElHefe #Bezos #WashingtonPost is commentary focused on #DJT being unable to simply sell his once most vocal voters & spirited supporters on quietly closing down the #Epstein matter, revealing political perils of building a #MAGA movement bent on stoking #suspicions , cherry picking perspectives, and tearing down #trust in institutions.
