CTP (S2EMarSpeical15) Mar 2025 Music Weeks Wk 3 Ep 4: From Katrina to Comeback: G-Star's Journey
G-Sta, a New Orleans rapper, shares his powerful journey from Hurricane Katrina survivor to music creator and insurance adjuster helping others recover from similar disasters. His story weaves through themes of cultural pride, family bonds, and creating positive hip-hop that elevates women rather than degrades them.
• Born and raised in New Orleans, deeply connected to the city's unique culture, food, and community
• Was visiting family when Hurricane Katrina hit, enabling him to evacuate them before floodwaters reached 8 feet high in his mother's home
• Lost his 15-year-old cousin to the floodwaters and heard horrific stories of survival from the Superdome
• Family relocated permanently to Texas rather than returning to New Orleans
• Later became an insurance adjuster for hurricane claims, using his personal experience to help others recover
• Mentored by his uncle, a professional musician who introduced him to studio equipment as a child
• Creating music that challenges negative stereotypes, particularly of women in hip-hop
• Currently working on a long-awaited album with the positive single "I Win"

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1]

JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): ! A brief note segue into the episode to mention, look at that my notes here. This is a reprise show from back in April of 2024 when I talked with Gista the rapper. So, bringing it back for music weeks. Hope you enjoy. Hello, I am joined by rapper Gista from New Orleans. Hey! Welcome to the show, how are you feeling today?
G'STA: I'm feeling great, man. How are you, man? Besides your cold?
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah, yeah, I got a hold of battling, but you know, got a labor through.
G'STA: Absolutely, absolutely, man.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Hopefully not too much coughing and hacking. All right, you'll be fine. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. But I wanted to have you on, not because this show was about rap, obviously not. Right, right. Your story in your bio about loss and recovery. But first, were you born and raised in New Orleans area or somewhere else and moved there?
G'STA: No, no, no, I was born and raised in New Orleans with Louisiana.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Okay, so that's one place I've never been to, unfortunately, it's been a place on the bucket list, but never made it.
G'STA: Yeah, it's cool. You're really enjoyed down there. We got a lot of culture there, you know. A great experience, you know, Mardi Gras, our food is phenomenal. Yeah. It's a city full of culture. That's what I could tell you. If you like culture and you like just the sights in the field of, just, it looked like a whole other country there. Sometimes, man, you know, like a third world country, but then in New Orleans, we got our own, we got our own lingo. We got our own way. We communicate, you know, how we socialize with each other, you know, our hospitality is, our hospitality is through the roof. You know, we, we, I love my city. I love my people from my city. I love everything about my city.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): But I understand it's not very inexpensive. It's like going to the Florida Keys, beautiful place, but not a McDonald's budget.
G'STA: Right. I mean, hey, you know, think about it, you know, down there, you know, you could eat good for cheap. You know what I'm saying? The cut up just, you know, when, like, I live in Vegas right now. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada at this moment. So this is why I'm, so like Vegas is one of the cities like everything is really like, I would say overpriced, you know, for the quality, but in New Orleans, you get that quality of better, but a lot cheaper, you know, better to eat that man. You know, in Vegas, I'm more of my health kick. So I'm working out and watching when I eat, but I know at home, it'll probably be a different story because the food down there is so resistible, you know.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Uh huh. And I was going to mention Vegas, the closest I've gotten to New Orleans was going to the Rio in the Mardi Gras and the sky that they have there.
G'STA: Yeah, but it's nothing like the experience down there in New Orleans. And Mardi Gras, one heck of a experience that you definitely want to want to check out for sure.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah, but Hurricane Katrina really upset your life. Tell us about that.
G'STA: Well, I mean, at the time, you know, I was living in Atlanta, Georgia, but I was down there because my mom and my whole entire family was there. So the way that affected me because it affected them, I necessarily like my mom's house was eight feet underwater. Okay. My sister house, she stayed upstairs, but a whole bottom dials stairs was, like I said, seven, eight feet of water. Water was very high because my mom, she stayed at the time. She stayed in the east of New Orleans at the time. And that whole area is like the lower night water, where the levees broke and stuff like that. So it all kind of shrinkled down. And then she stayed by the lake punching train. So it all just, it was gone. You know, when I went back and like the story goes for me, and my and how it affected me, I think personally, I think only lost like a pair of basketball shelters and underclothes. I was in a hamter to get washed from a mom house because I had came down. My mom called me like in the middle of the week, right? And she was like, you know, at the time, she was dealing with, you know, a guy friend at the time and he drove trucks. So Dave was in Birmingham, Alabama. And he caught a stroke on the road. Okay. And I was in Atlanta, Georgia, which was like the hour to hours away from where they were. So she happened to come out. It was like middle of the night, you know, one, two in the morning, traveling from Atlanta to meet them in Birmingham to get the stuff off the truck. They bring it to New Orleans. And I did that. I got down there. This was like a Tuesday. It was like a middle of the week. I got down there in New Orleans. My mom in my stay down there because it's their keys and stuff to my mom house. So I stayed down there to she got home that Friday, right? Why is the timeline of this? This is very interesting. So she get home that Friday night with Mr. Jerry and, you know, he got home now I'm preparing to leave to go back to Atlanta Sunday. The following Sunday mind you, this is a Friday. So no story short, it was a beautiful weather. You know, it was August at the time. You know, the sun was out and they always tell you to calm before the storm. It was one of them situations. And they got this hurricane on the way. If you could get out of here, get out of here, blah, blah, blah, you know, those who came to the evaluate to the super dome or just that. So thank mind you, I lived through so many hurricanes through my time. We never ran. You see what I'm saying? We would just get our candles, get our batteries, assess the regional little food and try to ride it out. We would ride it out.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah, you had no idea. No, I know I've got a goal. Yeah.
G'STA: So this is the thing, right? So that Saturday, I'm contemplating. You know, me, I'm like, well, you know, I don't know if I'm going to leave right now or shut leave right now. So I stayed out by my friend the night before, right? The storm is getting very intense and it had to rip through Mississippi at this point. It had to hit Mississippi. It really washed Mississippi and hit Mississippi, Biloxi, Mississippi in a way like, wow, so this was a powerful storm. So I stayed there and my mom called me like six of the mothers like, hey, I think we need to go by Uncle Carol, my uncle, my child to my uncle, Karl March, he's a musician. He's the musician of my family. He lived in Houston, Texas at the time. And she was like, we need to go west. We need to go to Houston because the storm is coming from East and going to it. Yo, spot in Atlanta. We'll run right into it. So no problem by me being there with my vehicle and have my family and everybody, we was able to get out of there, right? We left that Sunday and we left like six in the morning, six, seven in the morning. The traffic was, it was so, just one of the most hectic times in my life. And it took us a five hour ride turned into a 24 hour ride. Wow. From New Orleans to Houston because usually that's five hours. You know, we got that was so exhausted. It was hot. It was very hot. You know, down south is very human and it was very hot. We get down to Houston. We get down to like about six in the morning the next day. It really. And I was so exhausted. I passed out. I passed out. I just laid down on the floor. I just put everything, made me look out of the floor, laid down. But when I woke up at three o'clock in the day, it was the news was erupted about the storm, how it flooded. And it was saying, you know, New Orleans is 80% underwater and it was showing how people were stuck on the roofs and now mind you, I still have my phone number from that even at time. My number is still a five or four area cold number. So we were trying to get on phone and reach out to people. The phones was dead. We couldn't get no calls out. We get only texts at the time. Mind you, social media, none of this was out at the time. You know what I mean? We just badly had emails and two ways and stuff like that. Everybody was just stranded. It was very, very hard. We was trying to get in touch with people. I lost a little cousin in the currency of the water. The tag is. Rest in peace to him. He was 15 years old. He got kind of caught up in the currency of the water. It was a lot of. It was a very it was it would make you feel like it was like the end of the world because everybody. We had people stuck in attics. You had let me kind of give you some of the sad stories about this. I was told that some people that I knew that their family members was like, they didn't have any power. They couldn't get to the medication and they died. The only way that they could they identify their bodies. They would have to wrap their bodies up. Right. Check this out. They were to wrap their bodies up and put them on the post and mark the post so they could come back and identify the body of the loved one. This is something that was really going on. I had family members after everything kind of everybody kind of caught up with everybody and found everybody. I had family members that I found out that was in the super dome. You know, that was stranded in the super dome. It was very like the stories that I heard. That was in the super dome. It was very, very crazy. It was very much survival. People was getting killed. People was getting raped, defecating on their cells. It was very very ugly, man. It was very very ugly. And Katrina was something that we watched play out in the whole country. We asked the government assistants and where is the people that could save us and stuff like that. A lot of my people got misplaced. A lot of went back to now from then to now. It's been what? 20 years or so. 20 years, about the 19 years this year. A lot of people went back. But the spirit of New Orleans is that when you went back, you could tell the spirit had been shook up with that storm. It was just how dead it was. The dead leaves and the dead trees and from the storm. It was just very, very spooky at the time.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah. Some of you know where I able to get back in and recover property.
G'STA: Not necessarily because my mom lost everything. Everything. When I went to our house, I think I went from, because once again, I was very, very active in the music business at the time. When all of this happened, I was torn with bones. And he shot out the bones and harmonies. And I was on a road and stuff like that. And when I finally went back down that way, I stopped in New Orleans because I always stopped in New Orleans. I land in New Orleans. It's like a midpoint between Atlanta and Houston. You know what I'm saying? So I went there to the house. I'm door was open. It was nighttime. I door was open. The house was evacuated in. They caved it, what I'm trying to say. And they had the rings of the water. You could see it at the top of the ceiling. I hired a water was in the house. If my momma would have got stuck there, she would have died. She wouldn't have made it out at all. Yeah. I was scared. Yeah.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Because again, that's a once in a century kind of storm that you can't really know is going to happen. Nobody expected them levies to give away. They were supposed to reinforce them over years and years and years. I kept spending the money for other things. And hindsight being 20, 20, it's not a surprise, but you still don't expect it. You always hope for the best. But so after all this, so how did you all get it back together?
G'STA: So once again, I got my whole family by my uncle safe in Houston, right? I was residing at Atlanta, Georgia at the time. I had just moved away from New Orleans in 2000 at the end of 2003. So Katrina kind of happened a year after I was gone. We got back with everybody. It was in one spot. You know, everybody stayed by my uncle until they got their assistance from FEMA. You know, it was getting flew, stamped from Red Cross. You know, even in Atlanta, I even was able to get some benefits from Katrina because I still had a Louisiana license and stuff like that. So, you know, I started New Orleans address. So I was able to kind of benefit and help my family out from afar because I live so far away. After a while, I want to move it down to Houston in 2007, two years after Katrina because I was still a heavier and record business at the time. And I just couldn't come down there. But they got gradually together. I was back and forth a little bit, you know, from Atlanta to Texas. I left my car down there, you know, with them at the time. And we know when Katrina happened and just so they could have whatever I had at the time, they could have it because I'll be alright while I was going back to. And I was. I had a lot of people that reached out to me in Atlanta and, you know, had a good buddy of mine gave me a car. He just gave me a car in Atlanta when I got back, you know, because, you know, I had to look out for my family and give them what I had. So I just kind of just, you know, I just we picked up. They picked up with life. My sister, they found, you know, life and to Houston, Texas and Katie, Texas, that is, they still, my family is still out right now to this day. You know, they never went back to live or anything like that. My niece is, they grown, they finished school in Texas. You know, Texas is, I went out in there for 10 years before I moved to Vegas just to get around them, just to be around them. And, you know, I was there for a minute in life, be life. And, you know, they say life, be life.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): And so well, if you just roll over and die, right? I mean, it life goes on and you have to pick up and make you as you can.
G'STA: Yeah, man. That means they mean, they mean, make you laugh. Let's fast forward to 2012, 2011, 2012. Better yet, 2016. I got into another career, insurance. Oh, I want to become an insurance adjuster. I want to work in hurricanes and this, that, and other. You see, so it's like, I want to jump into the, the profession, the industry of insurance. And I wind up being adjusted and made a lot of money doing it. You know, and it's been, it's been a good thing, you know, because I'm able to kind of translate the pain and the struggle from those families that lost something in a situation like that to help them, you know, be able to move forward with picking up the pieces and keep it going and being able to not, you know, prolong their claims, be effective on the claims. This is a heck of time, you know what I mean? So, yeah, I got into it. It's crazy.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Interesting. Yeah. Yeah, that's rather how life could sometimes come full circle, right? Yeah. Absolutely. Have you gotten any music out of all that? Oh, yeah, absolutely. I did several, several albums after that.
G'STA: Um, plenty, you know, um, it was a little different at the time because I wasn't at home trading. You know, it was just like, you know, being in New Orleans and being able to have access to the musicians in a facility that I had at the time. It wasn't there anymore, but then again, I already left anyway. I had already moved to Atlanta at the time and went on to do some bigger things in the record business and stuff and get connected on that kick. But for us, the memories and for us, the stuff to reflect on and the pain that we all felt like, you know, by losing everything, you know, it was a lot of music came out of it, a lot of. A lot of pain, a lot of joy, a lot of, you know, a lot of survival, you know, what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. The story is that type of energy. So, yeah, absolutely.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Try to help people understand through what you had to live through.
G'STA: Absolutely. I, um, like I said, I was able to get in transition into the side of doing working claims, working hurricane claims, you know, catastrophic claims. You know, that's where I translated that. It translated more into working in shares more than the music. You know, I could only tell you what I've been through in the music and you want to hear me, but it ain't going to resonate like if you were in that situation and you need to be able to get in the future. And then you need somebody to walk you through the process of getting yourself, putting everything back together. And that's, that's something, you know, that I think that more translated into with my life, with my journey.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Uh huh. And speaking of music, do you usually stick with one genre or do you sometimes cross genres?
G'STA: I cross genres. That's my specialty. I'm very versatile. I worked on so many different types of genres of music. I come up under a booze. I come up into Orleans. We had one in the cornerstone studios down there for years. You know what I'm saying? So everybody came through that. My uncle was a big, big blessing to a lot of musicians because he come from the record, like the record business back in the 60s and the 70s and stuff with Bobby Womack. And all of these guys, he toured with the funk that the era with George Clinton and, you know, Confunction and all of these different guys like in the Walnuts chocolate chocolate milk and, you know, all of these different bands and stuff. So he come from that era and it just so happened. My uncle was one of those. My uncle's he was live. Every time he came around, he lit the whole room up his energy was just a spark. And I wanted to always be around him and I took a like. He took a special. He saw that I had a liking as a kid. That's a little kid because I could tell you he brought a beat machine. He used to bring his beat machine around all the time. I was a little kid, man. I guess I was intrigued by the gadgets and, you know, technology at the time. And I was always be messing with this beat machine. He ain't never not once. He was like, Hey, don't you touch that? Nah, he would embrace it. You know, you were like, you like that. Oh, I'm a game in a beat machine one day as a kid. And then that one, as years, a few years later, he might have opened up the biggest studio in the Walnuts at the time. And he gave me a he gave me some of the job. You know, as a kid, I was trying to hustle to get a video game, Nintendo, Super Nintendo after I was a kid. But he put me around all of the studio equipment and stuff. I always love hip-hop records. You know, I always I love all type of music, but hip-hop was my thing. You know what I mean? I love rap music, you know. And I was intrigued by that. I started messing around with it and started getting familiar with the equipment. And they started showing me really sitting me down, showing me how to use it. And the summer never let go to this day. Right now I'm in my big studio because I never let that passion go. I love to create.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah, so I was going to ask you who are your influences, but you kind of already said you had a mentor right there in the family. But who are other influencers?
G'STA: Oh, man. So many of them, man. Shoot. I mean, you can pick a lot of them. I mean, I so many of them. I don't want to leave nobody else. I'm scared to even say. I understand. All of them. Just put it that way. Everybody who's made an impact in music, I have felt your energy and I have taken something from it.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah, I don't mean to get personal. So you could tell me none of my business. But I do know the one song, Love You To Life. I like that as opposed to Love You To Death. So is there a trophy girl in your life right now? Was that about her or was it just?
G'STA: You know what? Check this out. It's a great question. Thanks a lot. It's awesome. Because you're the first person never asked me about that particular record. You know, on the record that I did, that's me and my DJ Black Niffer sent. Shout out to DJ Black Niffer sent. And he loved it. He always in my ear about that song too. And he trip out. If you find out, you asked me about this song. But my significant other, I met her after I made that record. So the shoe fit. He loved it too right off the back. Yeah, I got a special woman. My fiancee, I just boast too in Jamaica. And 2022, I think, a year ago, two years ago now. So we working on trying to tie the knot soon. But yeah, I love that record. It was just a feel-bit record. I wanted to be a little ladies and, you know, because in rap, you got so many stereotypical bad images for women. You know what I mean? Yeah. You know, especially Black women. You know what I mean? Let's just be real. You know, I want to talk about the Queen in them. I want to bring out the Queen and our sisters, you know, because that's who they are. And we as the men and being in the temperature in the house, you know, we have to change the narrative and change the energy when it comes down to our women and start, you know, bumping inspiration in them and, you know, motivation in them to be who they really are.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah, that's why I wanted to ask about it because you're right. So many negative aspects, especially in rap, it seems. Absolutely.
G'STA: You know, it's good. We touched on this one because my whole mission is to bring back the feel-good image to what real hip-hop is, not, not, not no trend, not, you know, if you listen to a lot of my records and you listen to a lot of my stuff, even the one night, the video we just put out called classic stands, the video, million point five views in 12 days and almost pin the million on YouTube. I don't even know the month or two and the love that I got from it because it got the old school hip-hop feel. The raw elements of hip-hop went back to the microphone and the DJ element, you know what I'm saying? That's when it was good. Everybody was, you know, it was new, but it was good. It was pure. And that's what I'm bringing back right now. Yeah.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): So, you started records. I had it on my notes to bring that song up. Awesome.
G'STA: Awesome. Thank you, man.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): You automatically went there. So, what do you have? What have you got in the works?
G'STA: I got this new, I got classic statuses out. I'm working on the album, working on the album. I posted, put this album out over 10 years ago, man. I just saw on Facebook, I had an interview that I did with another public figure guy and we talked about the album back in 2014. And I'm like, wow. And it came up on my Facebook memories. I just did it. So, people who now is like fast forward to 2024 is up. So, I'm working on this album now. The single, we get ready to shoot another video for this new single called, I went, hashtag, I went. And it's a very, very, very positive record to me. That's so positive. I didn't much get edgy in person or anything like that. And I'm mindful of the records that I make these days, but some records you have to say certain things that get you pointed across. Because it's hip hop. Let's not ever forget the back up. It's hip hop. It's edgy. It can be wrong, but it can be solid. It can be a learning curve. Many that don't know, I find myself talking to a lot of people from different walks of life about hip hop. And they hear my stuff. And they have questions. And I have to be able to break down my rhyme and reason why I'm saying what I'm saying. And it totally gets it. It's like great conversation. It's about being smart and not being ignorant about to the fact that we have a code and communicate with people through a musical or a form that's very strong. Music is strong, man. You're a musician. You've probably walked through life with a butterfly. Because everybody gravitates to that side of you. Especially me. But me being in different industries and the tech world, the IT world and the insurance world. It balances me off very much so. I'm not nothing I used to be 15 years ago, man. Not the conversation. Even though my conversations was good then, but now I can socialize with people who want a more intellectual point of view. You know what I mean? And not so much hip hop. More hip hop. More hip hop. New Orleans.

Music, TV, & Politics…

A few weeks back I had a “Lets go to the Lobby for Snacks and Politics” piece and its follow-up “Movies, Snacks, Politics, part 2” so makes sense – lets talk briefly about Music and TV…

But first a brief reprise about Movies – I hope you all caught “They Live” 35th Anniversary this year (while showing in many Theaters September 2023) and if not at Theaters please rent or stream it after you read this. Reminder: “They Live” an early John Carpenter (Writer/Director) piece where he dared to go down ChristiTutionalist Politics line before I coined the term and “Aliens” (the E.T. variety) as stand-in for the #DeepState always moving and manipulating behind scenes. Human-nature of those willing to go-along-to-get-along to Cash in for themselves. The 15-minute (minor exaggeration) I hinted at in the Movies pieces is great metaphorical outline for the verbal back-and-forth we often have with DUMBocrats to get them to see Reality!

VIDEO (3m 08s): Jason Aldean - Try That In A Small Town (Official Music Video):

Music:

#IStandWithJasonAldean (and, yes, too Oliver Anthony)
CMT (Country Music Television) crumbles to Cancel Culture, pulls “Try that in a Small Town” Video. And what my book (Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You) about, not just Foreign Terrorists but USA Leftist Terrorism within & destruction of Western-Culture (as whole, not just US). #JasonAldean #BoycottCMT

I tack this on here, as Patriots in good Independent Studios or Patriotic Producers/Directors need to assure this Song gets on the Soundtrack of their PRO-AMERICA Movies as many times/places as possible!!

Lastly, I know this is OLD NEWS to a degree and you are well aware and likely heard this story for several weeks already via FOXNEWS, NEWSMAX, OAN, and other outlets (including the ridiculous attempts by Left #ENEMEdia to make this somehow a Racist song calling for violence when the Writers (no, not Jason) and he (Jason) indeed all on the same page as to why they wrote it and why he wanted to Record it. AN ANTI-CRIME and ANTI-VIOLENCE piece, but if/when push comes to shove that we do have a Right to Defend ourselves from it. To protect and prevent our Communities being Arsoned to the ground by ANTIFA and #BlackLyingMarxist Hitlerian Brown-Shirt thugs.

Only the Left and their constant Race-baiting have the gall to say scenes (that show people of ALL RACES) is somehow Racist as an indictment of Black people? Who are the Racists? They are, if they say crime automatically equals Black people! Meanwhile scuttling #BidenCrimeFamily investigations and still creating major reach (stretching beyond all credulity of those Laws intent) on Statutes to try to charge POTUS45/Trump! Spare us the “What about the Lynching that took place at that Courthouse a hundred years ago” manure that no-one knew about until the Leftists #ENEMEdia desperate for a Talking-Point managed to dig up that History. I guess the Hannah Montana and the Christmas Movie filmed there are now also Racist (just like they tried to deem Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” as somehow Racist). When are Black Americans going to wake up to this pathetic and desperate Race-baiting?!?! Whom, in Poll after Poll show they want more police protection from the runaway and rampant Crime happening due to FASCICRATS weak-on-Crime and other failing policies!!!

Thank you to all that emailed or called CMT or Cable Companies that carry CMT and let them know they would like CMT pulled from their line-up as money will be the only thing they understand. As discussed in the BIDENomics pieces they chase the Woke ESG pennies, we must make then suffer huge dollar loses until they learn to stop pandering to the Cancel Culture manure.

A friend of mine posted a Breitbart article titled “Woke Maren Morris Announces She’s Leaving Country Music: ‘Misogynistic & Racist & Homophobic & Transphobic’” (no, not gonna link it) that I would talk about but all our “kind” reactions (here are those) were “WHO?” And some “less than polite” responses too (including a few snide ones from yours truly). LOL

VIDEO (2m 24s): Adam-12 and Emergency! Crossovers:

Television:

That’s now Movies, Music, but what about TV? May as well take a pot-shot at that too?!?! I had for decades hoped we’d get a reboot of “The Streets of San Francisco;” like Hawaii Five-O was, and Magnum P.I. was; and while I liked those originals (I did not tune-in for those reboots) but that was long before Newsome, Piglosi, others, have completely destroyed it over these last couple of decades. So, maybe best we can hope for is reboot of Adam-12; though that was set in L.A. which has equally degraded into one of Dante’s layers of Hell, but maybe could be reset into a different City; as a method of bringing traditional values and BACK THE BLUE back; as opposed to all the Trash we’re getting these days (like, sadly, the reboot of Quantum Leap went all WOKE)?!?!?

Some final thoughts:

Now after three-parts total of/for “Movies and Politics (Music and TV tacked on in part 3)” I could go on forever, and probably no surprise to anyone that is a regular reader of mine that at some time in near future I would have a part three (more on Movies, and to pivot to Music and TV) as I now have!

Follow-up to the piece a few weeks back discussion of one of my all-time favorite Directors/Producers Roland Emmerich (and the part 2 “Movies, Snacks, Politics” piece): Many know Toby and/or Noah Emmerich, two of the people involved in/with the great Movie CELLULAR (with Noah Emmerich*, Chris Evans, Jason Statham, William H. Macy, Kim Bassinger, more) I just rented (via my DISHnetwork OnDemand feature (sign-up with my VCD0026116345 referral code for discounts)) to watch again as it is an A+ (remember, when that film came out was just at the time of proliferation of Cell phones with advanced features and therefore absolute genius script at that time). A good “temporary escape from Politics film.” From GOOGLE (about Noah): On television, the native New Yorker was a series regular on BACKWASH and played the despondent Dr. Edwin Jenner in the two-part Season 1 finale of THE WALKING DEAD. Emmerich's brother is film producer Toby Emmerich, but they are not, Emmerich explains, related to Director/Producer Roland Emmerich.

The Emmerich lines via DuckDuckGo (here).

Gasp, can you believe it? YES, you’ve reached the end of this article already! LOL Hey, gotta poke fun at ourselves if we are to be able to laugh at others. I am indeed trying to SCALE BACK the length of my pieces! 😊
