There are two very interesting reviews of Isaacson's new book 'Elon Musk' that suggests the book was more of a paean to Musk than an totally honest story. Both are in the LA Times 9/12/23 - "Musk bio gets pretty rich" and "The biggest ideas and pettiest rages"
Besides the many other reasons to read your weekly takes, Kareem, I just wanted to let you know I
appreciate your weekly musical selections! Was listening to KUSC the other night and heard a piece both Historical and Beautiful I thought you might like; William Grant Still's "Ennanga: II" with Ashley Jackson & The Harlem Chamber Players
My vote is my personal business, but today I am publicly declaring who I am not going to vote for in next year’s Presidential election: Anyone older than me.
Kareem, you made me laugh (the Footloose video), cry (Jimmy Buffet) and think (especially on doing tests on anyone running for office 50 and older?). You're the best!
Do I think McConnell should resign? Absolutely. He’s clearly not healthy, and has already done enough damage. Do I think Feinstein should resign? Absolutely. She’s clearly not healthy either. But a mental competency test for over 50? There are currently 10 senators under 50, and I would probably question the competency of most of them on one site of the aisle.
But if you’re going to test mental capacity, start with trumpers.
Hi Kareem. I love reading your posts. Regarding Musk & the ADL, I would add the comment that despite obvious fact that the great majority of antisemitic hate and bile comes from the white nationalist far right, the ADL spends most of its time attacking the Left for its support of Palestinians and critiques of the Netanyahu government. It's almost pathological.
I am so pleased to have your words and thoughts in my life. The videos said a million words that you knew we would hear and you offer entertainment as well as education in your work . Thank you. Thank you. This was great .
Thanks Kareem for another thoughtful piece, and the insight about the writer of Amazing Grace. Please take care and continue to do good and be well. P.s. Would love for you to watch a piece on the Marquee Network about Buck O’Neill. What a super class human being!
Another great newsletter, even though we have to confront the ongoing anger & hate from the right.
I loved "Come Monday" for years, but now have a new appreciation for it hearing Jimmy Buffett's intro. (I read his Wikipedia page today to refresh my memory on all he has done over the years. It is fascinating!)

Lou,
You and I know this stuff is not where it is at.
It is funny as all get out, and in school curriculums, or curriculi, as the case may be, I would wish it be included, as anecdotal.
I think comic books should be allowed in the classroom. Teachers, who confiscate comic books in order to get a promotion, should get a promotion.
What you're saying is I shouldn't be so distraught, so worried. Thanks, brother.
If Liam, Jeff and Denzel got it, why not Biden? C'mon man.

come to Key West! You can stay at my house. I would love to chat! and show you the town!
Love your newsletter!!!
Great insight and column as always Kareem.
Sadly I cannot remember (I will have to double check) but did you watch the recent Indiana Jones?
I want to hear your take on the Barbie movie, Kareem

RE: Come Monday. Somehow I think you’d stand out if you ever went to Key West, Kareem. Thanks for the clip.

Thanks Kareem for the Buffet video.
‘Come Monday’ is a really nice way to end a Holiday weekend, and to remember that he’ll be missed but definitely not forgotten. RIP Jimmie
