    The Stones' iconic riffs and Mick Jagger's unmistakable howl aren't just the background music of my life; they’re the heartbeat of an entire generation's rebellious spirit. I'll take you behind the scenes of rock's golden era, comparing the raw energy of '60s and '70s concerts to today's landscape, where I find the music has lost its edge. I'll also delve into the fabric of the times—a blend of music, politics, and personal growth that's as complex as the notorious "Exile on Main Street."

    The economic outlook seems to grow darker by the day, and I can't help but cast a critical eye on the stock market's alarming jubilance. From exploding inflation to stagnant housing markets, I will tackle the hard truths about the economy's facade and the governmental sleights of hand at play. As I navigate these murky waters, a figure emerges from the mist—Donald Trump, a man as shaped by his family history and mentor Roy Cohn as he is by his own ambitions and persona. I'll dissect the contradictions and controversies that have defined Trump's ascent and the broader political landscape, including the Democrats' checkered past and the current administration's contentious policy decisions.

    And in a bittersweet note, I will close with reflections on O.J. Simpson - a man whose shadow looms large over both sports' history and societal conversations about justice.

    With each story and every insight shared, it's my hope to ignite a spark of awareness, challenge complacency, and perhaps even alter a few perspectives along the way.
