My late pal DJ Murray Kaufman, professionally known as Murray the K, was an influential New York City disc jockey until the '70s.

He was my favorite DJ and during his heyday, Kaufman was dubbed ''The Fifth Beatle'' after helping to introduce the Fab Four to America and serving as master of ceremonies for their concerts at Carnegie Hall and Shea Stadium. He became program director and drive-time disc jockey on WOR-FM, 98.7, one of the first FM rock stations.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh4URmTx78w

The Fab Four are the most important rock band of all time. Lennon and McCartney wrote all the best songs with help from their friends.

George Harrison and Ringo Starr were the two most underrated of the group, but that was just a wrong appearance most observers realized after a deep dive.

Here comes the song and meet The Beatles “Now and Then,” This is an updated recording produced and made available with AI.

This song was originally recorded in 1970 as a demonstration by John Lennon and has now been cleaned up with audio-enhancing technology. This moment is one that means so much to me and my grandson, Parker. He is young and yet, this amazing band from the 70s gave the universe a "last" taste of their magic that has touched many in ways that no others have.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW55J2zE3N4

HOMELESS GOP

From Teddy Roosevelt’s stick to the #DramaQueenTrump threats, all these tactics have been backfiring on the Republican leadership.

The house is not a home GOP game and mob-style threats have turned one-time supporters into GOP lawmakers who are now more entrenched in their opposition, to a hot air and BS bid for the speaker's gavel.
