1. What, no Kanye?

Just have everybody on that doesn’t like Trump stealing their music for a closing jam session.

3. You must mean the entire Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The orange dumbass can have Nugent. He can't even get a ticket to the HOF.

Christ, even the Country artists are turning on him.

10. He has Meatloaf, too.

11. I thought he quit doing drugs.

Either way, he has nobody relevant. We'll always have Jackson Browne, Bruce, Fogerty, and Neil. That's one molecule of a very talented iceberg of lefty musicians.

[Yeehah]

2. I thought Leno was a puke.

Maybe just a rich asshole.

[CaptYossarian]

4. Not according to his appearances on Bill Maher or the article in

this month's AARP.

[Yeehah]

5. Glad to hear it.

Still not a fan.

7. When I made the mistake of being on FB, all the trolls

were saying "this one" is a Repub and "that one" is a Repub--all trying to get a rise out of us.

Some of them, like Jackie Robinson, may have been--due to the damn Dixiecrats at that time.

If Jay Leno has ever been perceived as a Repub, it could be from his monologues during the Tonight Show. Today's late night hosts don't even try to hide their ideology anymore. (I'm still not happy with Fallon having the orange d-bag on his show.)

6. what did he say there ?

[CaptYossarian]

8. There were 5 or 6 segments on the page--all leading up to a medium punchline.

The strongest one (as spicy as margarine) was an insult to Trump without saying his name.

Each segment seemed to lean left, as does AARP needs to in order to protect SS, Medicare and Medicaid from the party who cheers for Potterville, the Grinch, and Scrooge at Christmastime. Leno could have altered his jokes to meet AARP's agenda, but I doubt it.

12. Same here. This is from his Wiki entry...

Hosting the 2014 Genesis Prize award ceremony in Jerusalem, Leno made jokes mocking then-President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State John Kerry, accusing Obama of "trying to break" the U.S.'s relationship with Israel.[99]

In a 2015 interview with The Jerusalem Post, Leno said, "I always considered Israel as not only the only democracy in the Middle East, I think it’s the purest, because every Israeli voter seems to have his own political party."[100] He also added about Israel's relations with other Middle East countries: "Israel is so efficient in defending itself and so good at it, that to the rest of the world it looks like bullying."[100]
