Remember Jill Stein, who pulled enough votes away from Clinton to hand the presidency to Donald Trump in 2016?

She's a member of the Green Party which, in her case, means a vote for Stein is fertilizer for fascism.

That's not the only thing that stinks on her. She flounced into the virtual offices of our parent company, Civil Society, today, declaiming, "I AM affiliated with Civil Society".

As if we don't have a choice.

We have a choice, and it is this: to sue anyone who makes false claims about being affiliated with Civil Society -- including Jill Stein.

Jill Stein does not work with us. She does not work for us. Nor do we work with or for her. Our work on green energy and other climate solutions began before she got here, and will continue long after she's gone.

Count on it.

A Little Peculiar

Can someone please explain to me why Eric Carr's Ain't That Peculiar respectively Little Caesar from Hot in the Shade (1989) is not officially a cover version, but was credited as an original composition? To be honest, I've never fully understood this, or simply haven't had it explained to me well enough. Maybe it just doesn't fit into my big thick clumsy head, so I can't say for sure.

I'm talking about the vocals, riff and melody of Little Caesar, because whether it's the version by Marvin Gaye (1965) or by that Street Hawk guy (1979) (1) , regardless of arrangement or riff or whatever, the song and its melody remains one and the same for me. You can even see how the riff and arrangement get more and more similar from version to version, right up to Eric Carr's.

And somehow Gene has managed to get a credit here once again. How does he keep doing that?

Side Note:

(1) Not the nerd.

The Other Little Caesar

Though we have been writing about lots of corporate brands of late, we regret to advise that today’s post is not about the pizza chain. Nor even the 1931 gangster movie with Edward G. Robinson. But it is about a guy who once ran with gangs. Harry Caesar (1928-1994), known professionally as “Little Caesar” was a singer and actor of the previous century. I first took note of him from that quirky…
