“How much money did Martin Luther King, Jr. have? Gandhi?”
Well, Martin Luther King Jr. was worth $250,000. How much money does Bob Lefsetz have?
$700,000!
You’re just a few dollars away from being in the top 1%. You fly first class and stay in luxury hotels while hobnobbing with the rich and famous. And what did you do to acquire such wealth and celebrity status?
You write a blog about music, entertainment and rock & roll, Sweet deal!
And lately you have become an advocate for left wing progressives, while attacking conservatives, Republicans and Donald Trump. Remember when you wrote:
“Being a politician is a profession. Michael Jordan proved that being the best basketball player of all time didn’t make him a world class baseball player.” – Bob Lefsetz
But you seem to think that living on the left coast and frequenting the ski slopes of Aspen suddenly makes you an expert on politics!
“God, of all the professional sports, football is the most like a plantation.”
Not a bad plantation to be on, where the AVERAGE income for NFL players is $860,000 – I thought slavery had been outlawed? Did somebody forget to tell these 1% athletes that they might be injured doing their job? Did someone twist their arm and force them to sign a contract? They’re too stupid to realize how they are being used and abused and they need Bob Lefsetz to blog about the terrible injustices they are suffering – in his music newsletter.
And 70% of the players are African-American. Where is the call for diversity? There should be more white, Asian and Latino players on the field, Why are there no women in the NFL?
“What kind of bizarre world do we live in where a corporation, Nike, stands up to the NFL, defends and invests in Kaepernick, and Jay Z says there’s no choice but to play by the white man’s rules?”
What kind of bizarre world do we live in where a a college dropout ski bum record collector writes a music newsletter which many people enjoy (myself included) and then feels this qualifies him to pontificate and rant and rave about liberal politics to people who are simply not interested in his virtue signaling and Social Justice Warrior causes?
Start a political blog – share your moral and intellectual superiority with the unwashed uneducated redneck deplorables.
