Song Inspiration: Right Place Wrong Time - Dr. John

Queens, NY

November 4th, 1973

“Y/L/N!”

You whipped your head up from your desk, making eye contact with your partner, Wilson, who was bounding towards you, slipping his bomber jacket over his shoulders.

“Freezy with another one. Hoboken PD just fished her out from the Hudson this morning.”

You sighed, closing the stuffed case file on none other than the notorious Mr. Freezy, tossing it into the drawer of your desk.

“This one matches the same descriptions as the others?” You cocked an inquisitive brow as you stood up, tugging on your leather jacket. “Redhead, blue eyes—“

“About seventeen, yeah. Fits the pattern perfectly. Get your stuff. Let’s go take a ride to Jersey.”

As you sat in the passenger seat of Wilson’s patrol car, you scanned through the ever growing Case File 19714439. Freezy had been in the public eye for about two years now. Two years, sixteen female victims, and only one survivor.

Janet Edwards had hardly lived to tell the tale of her mousy haired captor. As much as the public painted her as a strong, surviving hero, you knew Freezy wanted her to be found. He wasn’t messy. He left no trails, no leads. His pattern was predictable, but it often switched up when he felt you growing closer to catching him. Janet was found gagged, bloody, and with her right arm grotesquely severed, only to be found about twelve blocks over in the rear of an alleyway by a group of juveniles.

October 23rd, 1971

“Janet,” you exhaled as you sat across from the woman, passing her a steaming mug of hot chocolate. “I know this is difficult but I’m really gonna need you to go over the story once again.”

She relaxed slightly when she noticed your reassuring smile, “Like I told yous guys before—.” Janet was from Pittsburgh. “Freezy had me hanging from the pipes in a basement… maybe an old butcher shop. It smelled like rotting meat. He tied me down to.. to.. he called it.. taking a souvenir. I thought maybe he was going to rape me, but.. when he brought out that knife.. and he—,” she swallowed hard, taking a long sip from the mug. “Well, you found his souvenir last Monday. I think he got distracted, or something, and i was able to kick him, and get away. I woke up in Brooklyn, and.. that’s all I remember.”

“And you just escaped?” You clarified, furrowing your brows together, as you cocked your head to the side.

“It was almost too easy, detective… it was like he let me go.” Janet’s tears began to fall and she wiped them away with her only hand.

Janet looked remarkably like your little sister, Fiona. Same curly red hair, bright, Bambi blue eyes, same freckled complexion.

Fiona had gone missing back in 1970, her body never turned up. You begged your captain to put you on the case, but he declined profusely. So when the affectionately named Mr. Freezy started murdering young girls with red hair and blue eyes, you hopped on the case like the last round of musical chairs.

“Detectives Wilson and Y/L/N, NYPD. Who’s in charge here?” You and Wilson flashed your badges to one of the units on scene with a polite smile.

“That would be—,”

“Detective Barber, Andy Barber.”

Your head whipped around to find the owner of the gravelly voice.

Never in your life had you felt so self conscious in your height.

Andy Barber stood well over six feet tall, and even in your heels, he towered over you like a redwood.

“Detective Y/N Y/L/N. This is my partner, Detective Sam Wilson.” You introduced yourself, extending your hand to meet his outstretched one.

After a firm handshake and a throat clear from Wilson, Andy pulled his hand away to frustratedly run over his overgrown beard.

“This one ‘a yours? I heard talks about Freezy coming over the Hudson, but he usually keeps to New York.” Andy began as he lead you down to the base of the river, where the victim’s body was blocked off by caution tape and evidence collectors. She was covered with a black tarp, only a small part of her hand visible against the sand.

“Were you guys able to ID her yet?” Wilson asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Not yet. We’ve been going through the missing persons files from the last six months, but nothings turned up yet,” Andy declined, shaking his head.

“We’ll have the coroner take the body back to New York. If that’s alright with you guys?” Turning to face Andy, a gust of wind blew your hair out of your face, and you shivered, before turning back to look at the body. The wind had blown the cover off of the top half of the woman’s body and you froze in place.

Your blood ran cold, knees buckling before Andy caught you from falling. “Detective?” Andy searched Sam’s face for some answer.

“Y/N?” Sam placed a hand on the back of your shoulder, before he followed your gaze over to the body. “Oh, god. Andy, get her out of here.” He commanded the obvious alpha male.

“What?” The man questioned him. “The fuck’s going on?”

“It’s her fucking sister.”

Westchester, NY

June 2nd, 1975

“Jim, please don’t forget you’re picking up Conner for soccer practice after school!” You called out to your husband as he loaded your son into the back of his station wagon. “He has to be there at four thirty sharp, I don’t want to hear it from his coach that he was late!”

Jim saluted you with a wide grin, tipping his chin up as he blew you a kiss. You watched the love of your life disappear down the long residential street, with your arms folded across your chest, when a familiar voice called from the opposite end of the house.

“If it isn’t the hottest mother in all of Westchester.” Andy’s hands were tucked into the pockets of his dress pants, and his eyes met yours with a beautiful, enchanting grin.

Without a word, you both disappeared into your home, and you pressed his back to the door the moment it shut. “You…” you trailed off, your lips immediately attaching to the column of his neck. “Know the rules. Wait five minutes after Jim and Conner leave.”

“Couldn’t help it, angel,” Andy’s voice was gruff as he slipped from between you and the door, pressing his back to your front as he pushed your chest against the wooden door. “This little dress of yours.. you wearin’ it because you know I like it?” His mouth covered the shell of your ear as his hands rucked up your small cotton dress.

“A-Andy,” you choked out, slick coating your thighs as you heard the glorious sound of his belt unbuckling.

SMACK!

“Who?” He mocked, ripping your panties from around your waist.

“Detective,” you mewled, breath hitching in the back of your throat as he pushed the swollen tip of his cock past your folds.

Andy let out an grumbled, hoarse groan, his arm shaking around your waist to toy with your clit. “That’s a good fucking girl.. so hot and ready for me, huh? Dirty little housewife, just begging to be fucked by someone other than that husband of yours?”

His hips pounded against your ass, your flesh jiggling with each thrust. Your hands flew to press against the door, and his covered yours immediately. The cold metal of both of your wedding rings reminded you of the sin you were committing.

This wasn’t the first time, it wasn’t even the tenth time. Andy came by about a week after your sister’s body was found, with a bouquet of daisies and a bottle of red wine. Your entire liquor cabinet later, the two of you were fucked out on the shag carpet in front of your fireplace.

And that’s how it started. Every so often, he’d make an excuse to visit you at the precinct, bringing donuts for the squad, or a file that nobody really needed. You met when you could, and where you could. Yesterday, you called him while Jim was sleeping in, as you cut up a sandwich for Conner, and begged for him to come over today when Jim left. He never denied you, and you never denied him. But it would never be more than that. Mindless animal sex.

SMACK!

“I asked you a fucking question, dumb baby, what’s the matter, you didn’t hear me?” Andy cooed condescendingly, before you yelped at another smack.

“Y-yes, yes, I heard you, I—,” you began to answer him, before he covered your mouth and fucked into you, vigorously rubbing your clit with his free hand. “GOD!”

“That’s a good girl, good fucking whore, gonna make me fill this tight little hole in a minute.” His thrusts became sloppy, and you felt his tip hit your cervix, crying out as you quickly met your release. Andy fucked you through your high, his orgasm following soon after with a shout of your first name.

His head fell onto your shoulder, peppering slow, soft kissed along your neck and up to your ear.

A few moments later, he slowly pulled out of you, causing a few droplets of his seed mixed with your slick to deliciously dribble onto your thighs.

You cleared your throat, composing yourself as you ran your hands through your hair, taming the flyaways as best as you could. “Can I.. do you want some coffee?” You asked him, picking up your ripped panties from the floor, holding them in your hand as you folded your arms.

“I want to talk to you about something,” he blurted out nervously, after tucking himself back into his dress pants.

You nodded, leaning up from against the door before walking into the kitchen with Andy hot on your heels. “‘Course, shoot.”

“I love you, Y/N.”

The coffee mug you picked up slipped out of your hand and into the sink, shattering into a million pieces.

The sound felt like an atom bomb went off in your kitchen, and the silence that followed? Deafening.

“Say something,” he begged, no doubt folding his hands on top of the kitchen island.

“Andy..” you trailed off, turning around to face him, the corner of your lips unintentionally quirking up into a smile at your accurate prediction. “What do I say?”

“I’m leaving Laurie. Jacob goes to college in the fall, I have a lawyer drawing up the papers now.” His eyes met yours, desperately seeking an answer. “I think you should leave Jim.”

Could you leave Jim?

Did you love Andy?

What about Conner?

And Laurie?

You knitted her a blanket when her mom died. You sent her cookies during Christmastime. She have you some of Jacob’s old clothes that she’d saved, for Conner.

Did you love Andy?

“Please, say something, Y/N. I’m.. I’m in love with you.”

In the years you’ve known Andy, you’d never seen him look so vulnerable. So desperate. As you paced back and forth across the kitchen, a million and one thoughts ran through your mind.

“Jim gets home at six,” you murmured, “Jim gets home at six.” This time it was louder.

The male’s expression turned into a hopeful smile.

“Six o’clock. I’ll tell him.” You nodded a few times, and Andy met you in the middle of the kitchen, his large hands cupping your cheeks as he placed a hungry kiss to your waiting mouth.

“Say it,” he mumbled out against your lips, brushing his thumbs across your cheeks.

“I love you, Andy.” You responded without hesitation, a small smile forming across your face.

A moment of silence passed, before Andy exhaled, closing his eyes for a moment, before opening them again to look down at you, “I gotta head back to the precinct. Call me later. Please.

You nodded, and he gave you a quick, chaste goodbye kiss, before leaving you in the kitchen alone, and exiting your house.

He was yours. Andy Barber was yours. And you were his.

Happier than a pig in shit, you strutted your way over to the well loved stereo in your living room, flicking on the power.

The outro of ‘Sir Duke’ flowed beautifully into the techno introduction of one of your favorite songs.

You couldn’t help but dance your way back into the kitchen to clean up the mess you’d made in the sing.

I been in the right place,

but it must have been the wrong time

I'd have said the right thing

But must have used the wrong line

I been on the right trip

But I must have used the wrong car

Head is in a bad place and I wonder what it's good for

I been in the right place

But it must have been the wrong time

You sang out loud, swaying your hips back and forth, losing yourself to the beat of the electric bass and bongo drums. It was a feel good song, one you loved to blast in your Impala as you flew across the bridge, down the busy streets of Manhattan.

Had you not been blasting on full volume, you would’ve heard the glass of your back door break.

Had you not been blasting on full volume, you would’ve heard his heavy booted footsteps come up behind you.

Had you not been blasting on full volume, you would have noticed the extra presence in your kitchen, before it was too late.

Drip, drop.

Ow…

Your head lolled forward, side to side, before your heavy eyelids lifted, surveying your surroundings.

Your arms were sore, stiff, nearly numb as they hung over your head, cuffed to a damn near fully rusted pipe.

What in the ever loving fuck?

You were just about to try and muster up a, ‘help!’ before the familiar chords of your favorite song blasted at full volume throughout the basement(?).

I been in the right place,

but it must have been the wrong time

What the fuck?

I'd have said the right thing

But must have used the wrong line

Where actually am I?

I been on the right trip

But I must have used the wrong car

Another voice joined in the next verse.

Deep, raspy, cigarette tainted.

“Head is in a bad place and I wonder what it's good for

I been in the right place

But it must have been the wrong time,”

Your eyes desperately searched for its owner, head frantically whipping back and forth, before you stopped in defeat.

A set of footsteps approached you, your eyes fixating on the dark brown boots tucked under a pair of dark wash jeans.

A calloused hand tucked itself under your chin, and tilted you up to look your partner dead in the eye.

“So you’re the one who’s been snoopin’ in on me for four years,” the long haired man slurred, a sloppy, devilish grin across his lips. “I didn’t know they’d have such a pretty girl on my case, sugar.”

Your eyes met his baby blues, tired and bleary, bloodshot, like he’d been up for thirty six hours straight.

It took every ounce of energy you had to muster out your whisper.

“You’re..” You began, chest heaving in fear, as you tried your absolute hardest to keep your calm.

“That’s it, doll, use that pretty mouth.”

Bastard.

“Freezy.”

Teeth - 5 Seconds of Summer

Chapter 1

Westview was a small town, just outside of Bergen County in New Jersey, and it is the home of Heather Wilson. She had short black afro-textured hair and brown eyes. She normally wore glasses; she was diagnosed as short-sighted at the age of 8 years old.

One of her major hobbies and interests was music. Especially the older music of the 70s, 80s and 90s. It would help her through really tough times. She had stage fright whenever she would give out a presentation so she would listen to music beforehand before going on stage.

Singing however, was a different story.

She was an amazing singer, could hit the low and high notes. But she never shared her gift with the whole world. Well, except when she was during music as a major at the Westview University, named after the town.

She would have to sing in the lessons (otherwise it wouldn’t be a music lesson, of course), even though they were group singing exercises, so her voice would be drowned out by the students in her class.

One day, she got an e-mail from the Dean of the university about their music teacher leaving the university. She was moving back to England to teach there at the University of Oxford. Heather liked that teacher.

She was going to get a new teacher called Ms Jordans on Monday, alongside a new student.

It was Friday night.

They already got a teacher for Monday? Impressive.

But Sunday night was open mic at the Hex, the local bar in Westview. And her friend Natalia, who was the owner of the bar, put Heather on the sign-up sheet. She didn’t mind that Natalia did that, as long as she did the breathing exercises she looked up online, she would be fine.

All day Saturday, Heather was practicing her song on her guitar, making sure she got the chords absolutely perfect, not making a single mistake. She read through the lyrics, making sure she was singing every word correctly.

It was the night of the open mic. It wasn’t a open mic per say, but you could either do karaoke or play an instrument and sing. Or go acapella.

Luckily for Heather, she could play the guitar and the piano, so she had a wide variety of options to choose from.

She walked into the bar, wearing a Nirvana t-shirt, denim shorts and black leather boots. Her curly hair was in a bun and of course, she was wearing her usual glasses, which were zebra striped.

“Hey Heather!” She heard the Russian/Eastern European accent call out her name as she looked at who it was. Natalia Maximoff. “Hey Natalia. I’m here for the open mic.” You said to her as you both hugged each other. “Ah, well you’re on after that guy.”

Natalia gestured towards the guy going on stage with his guitar.

The guy had short brown hair, looked to be in his late 40s, early 50s. He was wearing a plain gray t-shirt, brown leather jacket, denim jeans and gray lace-up trainers. He sat down on the stool that was on the stage, tuning his guitar, ready for his performance.

“Hey guys.” There was feedback as he cleared his throat. “I’m Jeremy and this is ‘Sleeping Satellite’ by Tasmin Archer. I hope you all enjoy.”

She leaned against the bar countertop as she admired the man’s strumming on his guitar. It was so delicate. She then noticed the details of his fingers; long and stubby, but they glided against the guitar strings.

As he started to sing, his voice was cracked and raw. It was a key lower than the original version of the song, but it sounded so good.

“I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles' flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why…”

You were so invested in his performance as it came to an end after 2 minutes of raw acoustic guitar and his singing.

Then it was her turn.

As she made her way to the stage, she was doing her breathing exercises. Jeremy was walking off at the same time.

“You using the guitar?” He asked as he handed Heather the acoustic guitar. “Yep.” She simply said as she took it out of his hands. “Thanks.” “You’re welcome. Good luck on there.” He smiled as he walked past her.

Were the breathing exercises working?

She had absolutely no idea. She knew what song she was singing. It was considered a 90s karaoke classic, but she was playing it on guitar. The song she chosen was the very first song she has learnt to play on guitar and piano, so it was a special song to her.

Feedback from the mic as she stepped onto the stage. She sat down on the stool and put the guitar in her lap.

“Hello. My name is Heather. The song I will be performing is ‘Closing Time’ by Semisonic.” She said before clearing her throat. She started to strum the opening chords of the song and swayed to the music, so she knew the rhythm before she started singing;

“Closing time, open all the doors And let you out into the world Closing time, turn all of the lights on Over every boy and every girl…”

No one was really paying attention to her performance, well no one except Jeremy. He was admiring the range of her voice and the way she handled the guitar.

After her performance, she stepped off stage and went over to the bar where Natalia was. She saw the smirk on her friend’s face as she shook her head, chuckling.

“I knew this would be a good opportunity for you!” Natalia said to her as she poured her a drink. “Hmm…” Is all that Heather could say. “Say that to those people. Not appreciating good music.” “I know right?”

Heather was surprised at the sudden new voice in their conversation. She knew who it was though. The same raspy tone of voice that was clearly heard on stage earlier. She turned her head to see Jeremy, leaning against the countertop, next to her.

He was smiling and chuckling as he drank his glass of whiskey.

“These people don’t care about great talent in this town. Los Angeles is much better.” “You’re not from around here, are you?” You ask him, raising an eyebrow. “Nope. Moved here from LA for a new opportunity, I guess.” Jeremy explained. “And may I ask what this new ‘opportunity’ is?” “Now that would be telling, wouldn’t it darlin’?”

Heather just chuckled as she silently thanked Natalia for her drink. She sipped it carefully.

She then realised what time it was. Nearly 9pm.

“Shit. Sorry, I have to go. I have classes quite early tomorrow. It’s like 9 o’clock.” Heather drank her drink down in one go and placed the glass on the countertop. “Oh yeah… I have to start my new ‘opportunity’ early tomorrow as well.” Jeremy finished off his drink. He then asked,

“Did you walk here? I can give you ride home if you want. I only had one drink, don’t worry.” He asked her, adjusting his jacket a little. “Umm sure, why not?” Heather shrugged her shoulders. “After you.”

He gestured for her to go first and she said thanks. She then looked back at Natalia and she winked at her before taking care of another customer.

As Heather and Jeremy made their way out of the Hex, she stood there shivering. She was not anticipating it to be colder than it was earlier in the night. Jeremy noticed that she was shivering, so he took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

“There you go. You looked cold.” Jeremy smiled at her. “Thanks.” She smiled back at him. “Which car is yours?” She asked him, looking at the various cars that were parked in the car park. “Oh, I didn’t come in a car…”

Heather raised an eyebrow as her eyes followed Jeremy through the car park. She then heard the revving of a motorcycle as Jeremy rode a red one up to her. All she could chuckle.

“That… is not what I was expecting.” She shook her head as she chuckled more. “You getting on or not? I’m not letting you walk at this time of night.” “I have no choice, do I?”

Jeremy just shook his head. Heather laughed as she put her arms in the sleeves of his jacket. She could smell his aftershave on her jacket as she quickly inhaled it.

She then jumped on the motorcycle behind him.

“You might want to hold on.” He shouted over the engine. She had no other choice but to wrap her arms around his waist. “Don’t worry, I go slow for you.” “Thank you.”

He chuckled silently before accelerated out of the car park and onto the main road.

As they both arrived at her 1-bedroom house, Jeremy parked in her driveway. Heather hopped off the bike. Jeremy turned off the engine for now, as he stood up from the bike to stand opposite her.

“Thanks for the ride home, Jeremy.” She smiled. “No problem. Hopefully we can meet again someday.” “Yeah I hope so too.”

He then realised she was still wearing his jacket, but knew he probably wasn’t going to get that back yet. “You’re not going to give me my jacket back, are you?” Jeremy bantered. “Nope. Not until we meet again.” Heather teased before walking towards her front door.

Jeremy chuckled. “Fine then. So no hug then?”

All he could see was her laughing out loud, so he instantly knew it was a no. “Goodnight Jeremy!” He heard her shout to him. “Goodnight!” He shouted back.

‘Next time.’ He thought to himself as he got back on his bike and rode off.

Monday morning. 7:30am.

Heather’s alarm went off as she moaned and groaned at the terrible sound it made. She tried to reach for her phone, but she heard it fall to the ground on the soft gray carpet. “Shit!”

She got up, grabbed her glasses and put them on. She then got her phone and looked at the screen. Class was suppose to start at 9am, so she had at least half an hour to get ready and another hour to get there.

She put on a black t-shirt with Harley Quinn on it, with black leggings and brown lace-up boots. It was quite cold out there. She was then deciding on to wear a hoodie or a jacket. She then looked behind her where the wardrobe was sitting.

Jeremy’s jacket from last night.

‘Fuck it.’ She thought as she picked it up and put it on. It’s not like he was going to be at the university right?

She packed her purple and black backpack with a pencil case, notebooks, her lunchbox; alongside her purse and keys. She put her phone in her pocket and put on her Spotify on through her headphones.

After a shower, brushing her teeth and getting her hair and makeup ready, she went downstairs to the kitchen to grab some breakfast from the fridge. She had a piece of toast and a banana before leaving the house.

Heather managed to get the bus on time, which went directly to Westview University. She sat at the back, listening to her music. At the same time, she was going over her homework, making sure it was perfect for the new teacher, Ms Jordans.

As she got to the university at 8:35am, she got off the bus and walked up the stairs towards the entrance. She then went to the cafeteria to get herself a cup of tea to wake herself up a bit more.

She managed to get to the classroom at 8:50am and she could see her fellow classmates. As she sat in her designated seat, she realised that the teacher wasn’t here yet. You were going to take the jacket off until you heard someone who walked up to you.

“Does this mean I can get my jacket back?”

Willis Jackson with Pat Martino Single Action

Produced by Fred Seibert

Willis Jackson: tenor saxophone

Pat Martino: guitar Carl Wilson: organ Jimmy Lewis: bass Yusef Ali: drums Ralph Dorsey: percussion

Willis Jackson single handedly pulled me away from the avant garde and towards the soulful, bluesy expression of jazz that was popular in the African American neighborhoods of mid-century America. He didn’t mean to, he didn’t want to, it was just that he was so damn good.

Less a producer than actually a recording supervisor (my credit on this album) I arrived at our first session together (Muse’s In the Alley) with virtually no information on what we were recording or who was playing. Willis was tough and a little paranoid so this situation played out during the three or four sessions we did together. I’d never heard any of his music (it wasn’t cool enough within the jazzbo circles I traveled in) and when I looked into the studio I thought I’d been time warped into the 1950s: five African Americans 20 years older than me in conked processes and starched white shirts and ties. They hit the first tune and didn’t stop until Willis looked up at me and asked if they had enough to fill the record. When informed they were eight minutes short he revved up a blues and kept it going until I faded it to make the length.

By the end of the five hour session I’d stopped making fun (in my head) of the tenor saxophone/organ based soul jazz, and realized why it spoke to so many millions of people. It wasn’t an intellectual exercise but a human one. They were playing songs that people knew and loved, with a feeling that anyone could understand. I was late to the party, but it wouldn’t be over for me even 30 years later. ….. Credits

The Team Sky rider's margin of overall victory at this year's Tour stood at 4min 20sec, but that did not fully reflect his dominance and superiority over the rest of the field.

However, no other rider can excel in both disciplines quite as effectively as Froome and, for that reason, it seems certain he will be challenging for yellow jerseys at least until his early to mid 30s.

Now at the Department of National Intelligence is Johnny Mcentee , a 29 year old former football player who worked on the campaign. He immediately called department heads and said he wanted lists of never Trumpers in their offices. ** And who is in charge of weeding out the people in the government who may be disloyal to Scary Clown? Well, it is none other than Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court justice Clarence. She calls it the list of snakes. Trump is now saying he even wants liberal judges on the Supreme Court to recuse themselves when it comes to “Trump related cases”. It just keeps getting worse.

Andrew Yang is a new correspondent at CNN. He tells us that he is getting word from former donors that Bloomberg is calling those big donors. Allegedly he is telling them they do not have to donate to his campaign because he can afford his own campaign but he still won’t forget them. He would like them to save their money and not give money to other democrats running either.** And I am so sick of talking heads trying to tell us to play it safe. We are not as stupid as we look, thank you!! ** Now there is a firestorm about Bernie telling the world that the education program that Castro implemented was a good thing. I understand the anger and it could not have come at a worse time and he did it to himself. BUT.. We are adults and we have to be able to talk about things as they really are, not in sound bites. Castro sucked and history teaches us that bad people do good things occasionally and good people do bad things once in a while. ** It seems that everyone was in agreement that we would all gather behind the winner of the democratic campaign to beat Trump. Suddenly when it could be Bernie, everybody is bitching.

*****

This month held 2 more Democratic debates. The Nevada debate got pretty heated. I see that Mayor Pete and Bloomberg are lefties (left handed that is). Pete always looked poised and articulate which I appreciate and he got in a good one when he mentioned that the party should choose someone who is actually a democrat. Bernie seemed a little rattled by that. Later Pete really dressed down Amy Klobuchar and made himself look like a dick. Joe Biden jumped in with his credits occasionally but often seemed a bit lost. He slammed back that they were all talking about the health care plane he helped to create and that he himself had dealt with the Mexican President. His name came up after it was mentioned that Amy could not remember the President’s name. The gloves were off with Bloomberg as Elizabeth Warren called him out on Billionaires and NDA’s. I loved the interaction but realistically Mr. Mike can’t just release people from agreements they made in an NDA, especially if it did not involve him. Bloomberg sounded pompous and clueless about the world outside of his company. He got a moan when he said he couldn’t exactly use turbo tax and when he said he may have told a few jokes that women didn’t like. He brushed off his taxes much like Trump does. The former mayor of NY called out socialists as communists. Klobuchar had the best comeback of the night when she was told her health care plan could fit on a post it. She proclaimed that the post it was invented in her state of Minnesota. Again, there were people shouting from the audience as Joe tried to talk. C’mon give everybody an equal chance.

*****

The South Carolina debate was fiery as well. The CBS debate was hosted by Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell. Bloomberg was booed right off the bat about Russia helping Bernie but he late had many cheers. He and Biden and Steyer had some real support there. Tom Steyer was actually quite impressive and seemed well spoken. He was the only one who brought up the impeachment. He had a great point that we all know that republicans who did not convict Trump are complicit in the Russian meddling. Then he ruined it all by being alarmist with his fear. He warned us off the former republican and the socialists. I loved Bernie’s ideas about small business’s getting in on the marijuana business and not letting big corporations taking it over. He is also the only one in debates that I have seen consistently bring up Native Americans. Biden again kept jumping in to tell us that he did this or that. Amy disagreed about a bill he claimed to have written. Warren said “dig in” numerous times. She went for the jugular with Bloomberg when she said a former female employee of his said to “kill it” in response to her pregnancy. He denied it but it sure is memorable. She did make great points that he has given much money to Linsey Graham’s campaign as well as other republican runs including against her. BTW he also gave 2.3 mil to Rick Snyder, the Gov of Michigan after the water crisis was well known. I love that Amy is always saying that we shouldn’t fight amongst ourselves but she just does not have the votes so she needs to go. Bernie got some boos about guns for he seems the softest in that area.

*****

Joe Biden won the South Carolina primary in a big way.

*****

Dick Van Dyke, Sarah Silverman and Public Enemy among others will be at the Bernie Sanders rally in L.A. on March 1.

*****

Just think what the 400 million that Bloomberg spent on his campaign could have done for the debt of the average American. Instead of a campaign for a presidency that he can’t win, he could have helped so many get a leg up.

I don’t understand why “respected” journalists like Chuck Todd don’t throw W H reps off the set when they disrespect him or his colleagues with fake news jabs.

The final Criminal Minds has aired. CBS often aired double episodes which made it seem like they really wanted to get rid of it. Kirsten Vangsness and Erica Messer wrote the final episode which seemed to give special attention to Penelope and Reid as they were the originals. The other characters seemed a little overlooked but they all had happy endings. Where was Reid’s new girlfriend? I was hoping to see Shemar Moore but it was great to see Reisgraf and Howell which are old favorites.

Steven Van Zandt explores his fascinating and unlikely life

NEW YORK

About halfway through Steven Van Zandt's new memoir comes the point of no return.

That moment was in 1983, during the recording of Bruce Springsteen’s breakthrough album “Born in the USA.” Van Zandt, the bandanna-wearing guitarist for Springsteen’s E Street Band, had a fight with The Boss. And then he walked away. On the cusp of the big time.

“Leaving the E Street Band when I did, ended my life as I knew it,” Van Zandt tells The Associated Press in a recent interview. “You can’t be reborn until you die. So that had to happen.”

Van Zandt would go on to remarkable things. He became a solo artist, an outspoken voice for the oppressed around the world, a music educator and a radio host who found a second act as an actor on such TV shows as “The Sopranos” and “Lilyhammer.”

But he still looks back on that temporary break — Springsteen and Van Zandt would eventually reconcile — as a key turning point. In his book, “Unrequited Infatuations,” he calls it “the big mistake of my life” and “my very public career suicide.”

“In the end, you come to the same conclusion, which is: I wish I could have done both. I wish I could have stayed in the band and done all of these things,” he says. “But that’s not really realistic.”

Like its author, “Unrequited Infatuations” from Hachette Books is unassuming, smart, funny and honest, sometime brutally so. Van Zandt covers his life chronologically and also fills the book with the history of rock, his vision for a better world and advice for fledgling rockers.

“My narrative, which is kind of weaving its way through, is the least important part of it to me,” he says. “I didn’t need to confess anything. If I could find a way for it to be useful, I thought then it’s worth writing.”

Readers get a chance to explore all the different parts of the peripatetic Van Zandt, who produces and writes for other musicians, reunites rock pioneers like The Rascals, fights for the LGBT community in North Carolina and shows up on one of the most important TV shows of the 20th century.

It turned out that playing mob consigliere and strip club owner Silvio Dante on “The Sopranos” was a natural fit. He played the same role in the E Street Band, the guy with the good advice who doesn't want the spotlight. Both were sort of faithful underbosses.

“Before you know it, I’m playing that role that I have, in fact, played in real life,” he says. “Somebody has to be that guy in order for a family or a band or anything else to actually function properly. It ended up, very, very natural. And I think that’s why it worked so well.”

Ben Greenman, a novelist and journalist who has collaborated with such musicians as Questlove, George Clinton, Brian Wilson and Gene Simmons, said editing Van Zandt's book was endlessly fascinating since stories had a tendency to tumble out during their regular calls.

“I think the book is a real accurate reflection of the person — there’s plenty of humor and excitement and vivid writing and cameos,” he said. “A good rule of thumb is if it’s this fun to work on, it’s probably this fun to read.”

While building a portrait of one New Jersey artist, another emerges — that of Springsteen himself. To anyone who thinks The Boss' current persona as a working-class hero standing up against a rigged system was always there, think again.

Van Zandt explores a U-turn Springsteen made between “Born to Run” and “Darkness of the Edge of Town,” when his identity flipped from a rebel leaving town to conquer the big city into a rural, stand-and-fight balladeer.

“He completely, 180 degrees changed his identity. He’s fronting, he’s playing a character,” says Van Zandt. "That was the most important moment of his life, because he stayed in that persona forever.”

Van Zandt sent Springsteen the manuscript before publication and he suggested no changes. “He was in the book more than I planned on him being in the book because he turns out he’s a very big part of my life, you know?” Van Zandt says.

After his break with The Boss, Van Zandt made perhaps his biggest global statement when he spearheaded a cultural boycott of South Africa, forming Artists United Against Apartheid in the mid-1980s and writing the anti-apartheid anthem, “Sun City,” which shamed artists who performed in South Africa while Nelson Mandela was jailed.

“Would Mandela have gotten out of jail? Would the South African government have fallen? Probably. But we took years off both of those things,” Van Zandt writes.

Told that bringing a hateful regime to its knees was probably better than playing guitar in a band and Van Zandt laughs. “That’s not a career,” he says. “It don’t pay the bills, you know? And Nelson never offered to pay my rent.”

Van Zandt often found frustration without the comfort of the E Street Band. There is a shelf worth of albums he helped make — from a punk album to a musical theater show for Meat Loaf — that flopped or were shelved. A constant refrain in the book's second half is: “Nobody heard it.”

Another career as an actor in “The Sopranos” and “Lilyhammer” blossomed but there is a wistfulness that his solo music never caught on: “The third career, if you will, as an artist, really never found its audience, not yet anyway. Hence the title.”

Along the way, he throws shade at Paul Simon, Frank Zappa and Whitney Houston, while sharing how he became political and his rules for the best cover songs, nominating “You Keep Me Hanging On” by Vanilla Fudge as the best attempt.

It's all punctuated with advice from someone who's been on top and down low. “As soon as you can afford it, get separate rooms,” he advises new bands. To the main songwriters, “share a bit of the publishing money. It won’t kill you,” he writes. Perhaps the biggest pieces of advice: get a manager, something Van Zandt never did and still rues.

“It really did serve as some kind of a bit of therapy,” he says of the writing his memoir. “It’s always painful going through the mistakes and saying, ‘I wish I could have done this. I could have done that.’”

Steven Van Zandt explores his fascinating and unlikely life

NEW YORK

About halfway through Steven Van Zandt's new memoir comes the point of no return.

“Leaving the E Street Band when I did, ended my life as I knew it,” Van Zandt tells The Associated Press in a recent interview. “You can’t be reborn until you die. So that had to happen.”

“Would Mandela have gotten out of jail? Would the South African government have fallen? Probably. But we took years off both of those things,” Van Zandt writes.
