This book is a journey through our current reality. From Donald Trump to NCIS; from the rock and roll of Bruce Springsteen to the jazz melodies of Wadada Leo Smith; from the football fields of the NFL to the punk bars of San Francisco, Ron Jacobs guides the reader through the madness we call the twenty-first century. It's rarely pretty, but it can be entertaining. This collection of essays written between 2012 and 2018 are a sampling of Jacobs' writing for Counterpunch and other magazines over those years.
