Conversations with Karel, This. Is. It. This. Is. It. Campaign 2020 is over. As of this evening. It’s done. No more debates, no more campaigning, no more political ads, no more … all of it. But what is next? It is a night of battle. I find solace in music and sing a little. You should find solace in music as well. And while you are doing that, realize, you HAVE to go in to this optimistic. You don’t go in to a battle thinking you are going to lose. You simply do not. And so, here we are, finally...

Conversations with Karel, Pot Pie Frustrations We are out of control of our futures right now, in reality. Because voting is all we can do, and it may not be enough to stop a fascist regime from taking over. And we know it. There’s a lot in our lives right now we can’t control. The virus. We cannot stop it and if we get it we don’t know how sick we will get. And we’re mad. I’m mad. You’re mad. Prescription drug sales for Benzos like valium and Xanax are skyrocketing. Frustration is brimming over...

Conversations with Karel, They’re Getting Away with It Never has a populous been more impotent than the American liberals are now. For three years the minority party has gotten every single horror that they have wanted: from the dismantling of organizations setup to save us from Pandemics to the EPA; from ideologues on the courts to a down right religious coup of the highest court. And how did this super villain Maga come to be? How is it that nothing in the Constitution, no politician, no leade...

Conversations with Karel, Time to Get to the Hard Stuff Last night I sat with my jaw open watching a show about podiatry. And it was so revealing, not because of all the fungus, but because of the human element. Why do we always put off the hard stuff, the stuff we think we can’t solve or that there’s no hope? Why do we live with shame and despair instead of doing everything to fix it? Because we're human. You don't want to miss this discussion. Plus, Minestrone Madness in the kitchen. Listen to...

Conversations with Karel, Obama Got One Thing Wrong President Obama got one thing wrong last night when he said America is filled with basically decent people and I’ll tell you what that is. It’s time to stop acting like these people are just misguided or disenchanted. There is a hatred, an ignorance, a real Anger towards actual American values of inclusion, diversity, liberty and justice for all these days. They want it for them, their kind, but no one else. And that’s not going to go away. And...

OK, but doing what? How? Move someplace Blue? Where, how? Actually start seeing life past the election because now, the election is passing. Perhaps it’s time to get back to act...

Conversations with Karel, Story Songs and Debate Debacle Conversations with Karel, Story Songs and Debate Debacle starts with the death of Helen Reddy and story songs. They, and she, were the best. Helen was an icon whose music dominated the 70s and 80s and helped establish the female story song genre. Then, it’s on to the debacle that was a debate. It all went South because of two things and no one of them Donald Trump. No, Chris Wallace and Joe Biden allowed it to happen. They should have shut...

Conversations With Karel, Every Single Person And President Has Failed the Planet and It’s Angry sums up how we got here; covered in orange, on fire, sick, dying. None of us have really done what’s needed to help the planet not die; we blame corporations, government, everyone but ourselves. But we’ve known since my birth in 1962 that this wouldn’t last. And it hasn’t. So what do we do moving forward; simple either make radical changes world wide or die. And we’re choosing death. Plus, on 9/11 th...
