UnHerd | How RFK could smash the two-party system. In American politics, upset has become the rule.
“The surrender of Nikki Haley — long drawn-out but long expected — has set both of America’s major parties on the same course: a limp coronation, conducted through process of elimination. Donald Trump’s path is clear, competitors fallen away, while Joe Biden is also slipping through effectively unopposed, happily ignoring token challenges by Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson. But the frictionless progress of both candidates through their party’s internal processes is concealing a hidden truth about this year’s election. Many Americans don’t want Joe Biden or Donald Trump. They see the race as a horror-reality show featuring two geriatrics who seem doddery, unwell, and angry at being told so.”

Watch this electric performance by U2 with Mick Jagger and Fergie covering the Rolling Stone’s “Gimme Shelter” for the 25th Anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert.
Did you know that Keith Richards wrote most of the song “Gimme Shelter”. He strummed the opening on an electric-acoustic guitar modeled after a Chuck Berry favorite. In his memoir “Life” (2010), Keith states that he “was sitting there in Mount Street and there was this incredible storm over London, so I got into that mode, just looking out of Robert’s window and looking at all these people with their umbrellas being blown out of their grasp and running like hell. And the idea came to me… My thought was storms on other people’s minds, not mine. It just happened to hit the moment.” (source: Songfacts.com)
