​Over the coming weeks on jplinde.com, I'll be sharing behind-the-scenes stories from the writing of the memoir, photographs and memories from the 1977 Shasta Summer Festival, interviews with former cast members, deleted scenes, and regular updates as One Summer moves toward publication. Every conversation uncovers another piece of the story. Every memory brings One Summer back to life.
​
I hope you'll follow along.

Laugh the Bastards out on November 3rd.

10/24/2020

 
​Well, not exactly cholera, but still shoulders deep in a pandemic, saddled beside the worst presidency of anyone’s lifetime, so, much like anytime served in a soviet gulag, finding a good belly laugh can be difficult. Rest assured, they are out there and hella easy to find.

I get most of my truly great laughs nowadays from the exploits of those currently in power. Let’s face it, the current administration is the Dead End Kids of politics. Whether it’s storming off an interview with Lesley Stahl from 60 Minutes, or hawking magic potions that can cure us all of COVID, they are always up to something. Shakespearean in scope, tragic in results and comical in everything they do, this is the administration of Donald J Trump. These are the times we live in so as ready to paint lamb blood on our doors November 3rd while praying for a redeemer, let’s all take a collective breath and celebrate some of the good times we all shared.
Rev. Falwell in a corner of the room, masked in shadow, peering around a corner while his sacredly betrothed wife gets it in on with a Florida pool boy. And, while we’re at it, how about his picture which he was stupid enough to post to social media with his pants undone and his arm around a female half his age. Honestly, I’d say these jokes write themselves but they’re not so much jotted down but unfold before our disbelieving eyes like a full blooming flower.
 
And it is worth noting, this is the Family Values Administration.
 
How about the cajones of one Steve Bannon, Seinfeld producer, Breitbart founder, Presidential Advisor and a man who never tires going on about that the rights of the forgotten American male? He was busted for mail fraud aboard a yacht, selling shares for portions of the government funded wall. I guess it was much like buying a brick with your name on it at a sport’s arena, accept you get the bragging rights to an entire portion of wall. 
​
​There’s Roger, tattoo of Nixon on his back, Stone sharing his wife and MILF on a sex-sharing site.
 
And don’t forget Trump joking to share his Press Secretary with the President of North Korea.
 
And the list goes on, and on and on…
 
But my favorite, the cherry on the top of this vile mess of corruption:

Rudy “The Red Skull” Giuliani. The personal lawyer of the President and confidant, laying on a bed with his hands halfway down his pants while a girl who he believes is 15 stands close by. 
Tucking in his shirt, is the excuse. A blatant disregard to norms, laws and morals is the reason. His blatant act sort of sums up the last four years for me.  

Drain the swamp. Lock him/her up. Hunter Biden. These are all deflections of what has been going on the last four years as fat, corrupt, billionaires raped and pillaged you and this country. 

Remember all that and vote!
