Trump is completely unable to comment negatively on anything before it is ultimately shoved down his throat and shown to be a complete moron every single time.

Sunday night's Super Bowl and Bad Bunny fell short of setting records for most-watched U.S. broadcast and halftime show. U.S. game viewership was down from last year’s 127.7 million and Bad Bunny's performance was down from last year's record 133.5 million viewers of Kendrick Lamar's show.

Full global viewership for the halftime show is expected to be available early next week.

No you come from assholeville, home of misogynistic racists pieces of s**t, like yourself you f**k.

😒Gene Simmons doubled down on his stance that rap doesn’t belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On the 'Legends N Leaders' podcast with Ben Weiss, the KISS co-founder said hip-hop doesn’t “speak his language” and called it more spoken word than songwriting. He also questioned how “relevance” is defined- reigniting the genre and culture debate all over again

Safe Travels Donna.

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of Donna Jean Godchaux. Her unmistakable voice and radiant spirit touched the lives of countless fans and immeasurably enriched the Grateful Dead family. Her contributions will forever remain part of the tapestry that continues to be woven. We send our deepest condolences to her loved ones and ask for privacy for her family during this time.

BLACK POTATOE CYBER WEEK SALE!!!!

So, my son Theodore and I collect baseball cards. We will be launching our website in 2025 for BPM SPortscards, under the umbrella of all things Black Potatoe. I have had a few emails come in about the autographed posters we would sell at Christmas for Black Potatoe Black Friday sales, and I found a few more that we have a few extra copies of. For the time being we have listed only five, we will see if the interest is really there, and if those five move, we have five more we will add later.

This is a chance to get an autographed poster by Levon Helm, James Cotton, Ralph Stanley and many others. Here is the website, again limited just for this week. Sunday the 15th will be the last day you can order and we can get the posters out for Christmas.

Peace and love and enjoy,

Matt (Angus)

From 2015 Black Potatoe Music Festival. Great guitar work by Walt Bibinger as the entire band played great.
