Thank you, Rush!  'Subdivisions' from 1982 from the Album, Signals.  Stream with your favorite service or you can buy the album on Amazon.  If you feel alone and outcasted, this song is for you!  You are not alone!  Read these timely lyrics:

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In-between the bright lights
And the far, unlit unknown

Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass-production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths, we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Let's take a stand against all forms of leadership that fail to protect our children!  To every young person: if you're being bullied and your school isn't protecting you, walk out of the school and don't come back till they remove the bully.  Your life, mental health, and safety aren't worth losing for, let's face it, a very subpar education.  Organize, walk out, protest with your fellow students until all the bullies in your school are removed!  Even if you aren't being bullied, STAND WITH THE STUDENTS WHO ARE!  It's beyond enough.  Make your school leaders do their job since they won't otherwise.  Adriana Kuch should still be alive today if the school did its job!  Lastly, students, if you see a crime being committed, like assault on another student, call the police yourselves!  Parents:  if your child is being bullied on social media, close their accounts, take away their smart phone and get them a flip phone!  NOT. WORTH. IT.

Congratulations to Lebron James for breaking the 40 plus year scoring record!  He is truly the GOAT!  There will never be another Lebron James!

There's no crying in being hired for an NFL head coaching job that doesn't even have a starting QB!  

If you're Still watching any "News" network that lied to you about the election being stolen, it's time for a cognitive checkup!  A repeat of the same behavior expecting different results is called... anyone... INSANITY!

P.S. Pink and lavender Polo shirts are the coolest!
P.S.S. Exclamation points are the coolest!!!

We have an intimacy deficiency in our country and world!  It's literally killing us from the inside.  Let's change that!  But how, Don?  Listen to this podcast, my friend!

Communicate, don't passive aggressivate the one you love.  Forgive means forgetting.  Sometimes it means you do the dishes more than everyone else...

Politics again!  Call your member of Congress and tell them to RAISE THE DEBT CEILING!  Going default on our country's debt will hurt all of us and our economy for years and years to come.  If Republicans didn't say boo about Trump's 7.8 trillion of added debt in 4 years, why now? You know why now!  Stop The Stupid.

Thank you, INXS!  You can find the song, Bitter Tears, on INXS's album entitled X.  Ah, 1990... Buy it on Amazon or stream it on your fav service today.  Seriously, listen to it right now!  www.INXS.com  

Let's treat every day like New Year's Day minus the hangover.  Wake up every day looking for new opportunities to grow and learn.

My Christmas was interesting...  Hoping yours wasn't.  

Update: Intermittent fasting does not mean you have to restrict calories.  Undernourishing your body can disrupt your hormones, health, and negatively affect the aging process.  Eat in 8 hours instead of 13 hours.   

More politics talk!  Damn me!  The law is the law is the law.  Whether Biden or Trump, taking top secret documents out of secure locations is negligent and wrong.  HOWEVER, taking them for personal use, lying that you didn't have them, and signing an affidavit that you gave them back is a whooole other thing.  

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!  May we continue to live out Dr. King's vision and work toward a more equal world.  

Will I hear back from Nickole Hannah Jones?  Stay tuned...

I will start bribing people to listen to the show.  Tickets to the biggest concert tour of 2023?  Hmm...

Thank you, Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass for my most favorite Christmas song ever!  Check out herbalpert.com for Herb's latest album.  

Excuse the stupid title.  I literally have been postponing releasing this episode trying to remember the much better title I came up with.  

Ah, Christmas memories.  I have even more for next time!  Sleepy times await!

The 1619 Project is causing me more research.  Need more references in the text.  No opinions yet.  Open minds prevail!

More politic BS.  The Supreme Court wants to be the moral authority, not the legal one it should be  

I don't remember.  Just snuggle up and kiss your insomnia goodbye.  Uh, It's Taylor's birthday tomorrow so that's something.

Thank you, Justin Timberlake!  Check out some old school (old school?) J.T. at your fav streaming service now!  The 20/20 Experience - The Complete Experience 

Will Don ever shut the f*** up about politics?  The Midterms are over!!!  Well, maybe just for a little bit longer...

Thanksgiving memories - my poor Mom and Dad

The 1619 Project listening party has begun on Audible.  I have lots of unanswered questions but this history lesson has just begun.

Rural Americans, African Americans feel left out of the conversation as antisemitism raises its ugly head once again.  Ideas that will lead us to greater equality and unity.  Seriously!  

Please watch the movie, Experimenter.  It's free on Amazon Prime and Roku.  Does this help explain the current state of our country and events like January 6th?  Hmm...  The lesson:  Don't be a follower. Don't be fooled by the appearance of authority.

Thank you, Nichole Hanah-Jones.  I will be reading, The 1619 Project.  You should too.  If we don't remember and learn from the mistakes of our past, we are destined to repeat them again.  I heard that somewhere.

Close your Twitter account.  #canceltwitter.

Hey, Vote early but not often.  The people holding guns with no authority or expertise or knowledge to enforce the laws may get you.  WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

Don't pay too much for your cell service.  Hi, I'm Don David Salicath and like you, I used to spend way too much for cellular service.  But now, I don't.  Tune in to save now!  Seriously, they are not paying me share this.  

Taylor Swift is a Marvel!

Thank you, Taylor Swift!  Check out Taylor Swift's new album, Midnights! Available to stream and at your fav local record store now!  Get Midnights!

Dear MSNBC and CNN, STOP COVERING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES!  You're only spreading their misinformation and lies even when you're trying to prove how corrupt they are!  You have to cut off the access to information to stop a cult. 

Please go and VOTE!  Early!

Guess who takes a ton of supplements?  This guy!  Find out what and why. 

Thank you, John Mayer!  Check out John at Alice in Winterland on December 2nd in San Jose, CA.  JohnMayer.com

Don't wait for change.  Be the change you're waiting for!  Vote, run for office... you have a voice... let it be heard!

There's zero humanity in FORCING a woman/CHILD to have a baby after she's been raped, molested, or her life is in danger!  Correction:  It's not 1 in 5.  It's 1 in 4.  Unreal.

You may not have a candidate to vote for but you sure know who to vote against. 

Life without Don.  Hmmm...
