RIP Steve Cropper. He wrote or co-wrote songs, produced and occasionally engineered song like R&B hits as Redding’s (Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay and Mr Pitiful; on Pickett’s In the Midnight Hour and 634-5789; on Floyd’s Knock On Wood and Raise Your Hand; and Don Covay’s See Saw and Sookie Sookie.
He so much more than the guitar player in Booker T and the MGs.

Only The Fascist could make Maduro look like a good guy. But when you need a war to declare martial law and cement your place as the first Dictator of America For Life so you stay out of prison for raping children, there are no limits.
tRUmp’s full-throttle threats suggest no backing down from aims to topple Maduro’s regime https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/02/trump-nicolas-maduro-venezuela

I hear The Fascist is thinking of replacing Kegster with Hannibal Lecter. He could make a meal out of what the drunk leaves behind. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/02/hegseth-us-soldiers-iraq-rules-engagement

I guess these publishers don't have copyright on Franklin. Otherwise they would be filing a lawsuit. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/02/pete-hegseth-franklin-the-turtle
