It’s Thursday and Howie Klein of Down With Tyranny is back with us this week. We have lots to talk about from the Veep debate and just how creepy JD Vance is… and we’ll get a status update on how the Blue America PAC endorsed candidates are faring.
Plus a farewell to another friend. Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative, I guess. My friend Julie Gordon died yesterday after a long battle with breast cancer. Variety posted a beautiful obituary… “Julie Gordon, Founder of the ‘Velvet Rope’ and A&R Exec, Dies at 65″
I mentioned that it was because of the “Velvet Rope” that I got a coveted interview with Alanis just a week or so before her debut album, Jagged Little Pill, hit #1. Howie and I discussed it, as he was president of Reprise Records. Jagged… was released by Maverick Records, an imprint of Reprise… Here’s the link to that interview.
And finally, Bruce Springsteen endorsed Kamala Harris & Tim Walz today!
