Rob Reiner on SOTU: Trump Is a ‘Racist,’ ‘Misogynist’ and ‘Pathological Liar’ — ‘Takes Lying to a New Level’



Rob Reiner on SOTU: Trump Is a ‘Racist,’ ‘Misogynist’ and ‘Pathological Liar’ — ‘Takes Lying to a New Level’
by Pam Key 30 Jan 2018
Tuesday evening on MSNBC following President Donald Trump’s delivery of his first State of the Union address, famed TV producer and left-wing activist Rob Reiner slammed Trump.

Reiner said, “Just as a performance standpoint it was—well, we discovered he could read. He knows how to read. But it was one of the flattest State of the Union performances I’ve ever seen.”

He added, “The guy is a racist. He’s a misogynist, and he is a pathological liar. Now here is what interesting about this State of the Union tonight, a pathological liar is somebody who can’t help but lie. He just lies all the time. We know that to be true about Trump. But when you write the speech down, and you lie with words that are prepared, that takes lying to a new level. He lied about the biggest tax cut in history. He lied about the Visa program. They’re just lies. It’s one thing to lie off the cuff, but when you write down a lie and you say it, how are we supposed to judge what we just saw there? It was ridiculous.”

All in the Family is an American sitcom TV-series that was originally broadcast on the CBS television network for nine seasons, from January 1971 to April 1979. The following September, it was replaced by Archie Bunker's Place, which picked up where All in the Family had ended and ran for four more seasons.
All in the Family was produced by Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin. It starred Carroll O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Sally Struthers, and Rob Reiner. The show revolves around the life of a working-class bigot and his family. The show broke ground in its depiction of issues previously considered unsuitable for a U.S. network television comedy, such as racism, infidelity, homosexuality, women's liberation, rape, religion, miscarriages, abortion, breast cancer, the Vietnam War, menopause, and impotence. Through depicting these controversial issues, the series became arguably one of television's most influential comedic programs, as it injected the sitcom format with more dramatic moments and realistic, topical conflicts.

Quincy Jones Disses Taylor Swift: We Need More ‘F*cking Songs, Not Hooks’



Quincy Jones Disses Taylor Swift: We Need More ‘F*cking Songs, Not Hooks’
by Daniel Nussbaum 30 Jan 2018
Taylor Swift has been selling out stadiums and winning Grammys for years, but at least one legendary composer and producer doesn’t get the hype.

In a lengthy, wide-ranging interview with GQ published Tuesday, Quincy Jones slammed the reigning 28-year-old pop queen, laughing off a suggestion by the interviewer that Swift has been called one of the best songwriters of her generation.

“We need more song man. F*cking songs, not hooks,” the 84-year-old 27-time Grammy-winner told the magazine.

When asked what he thought was missing from Swift’s music, the producer behind such legendary albums as Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Bad replied: “Knowing what you’re doing. You know what I mean?”
“Since I was a little kid, I’ve always heard the people that don’t wanna do the work,” he said. “It takes work, man. The only place you find success before work is the dictionary, and that’s alphabetical.”
Taylor Swift’s hit single “Style,” released in 2015, was written and produced by Swift, Max Martin, Shellback, and Ali Payami.
Michael Jackson’s Thriller, released in 1984, was directed by John Landis and produced by Quincy Jones for Quincy Jones Productions.

Still, Jones suggested that he would be open to working with Swift in the future, saying he would “figure something out” if he did.

“Man, the song is the sh*t—that’s what people don’t realize,” he added. “A great song can make the worst singer in the world a star. A bad song can’t be saved by the three best singers in the world. I learned that 50 years ago.”

Jones’s GQ interview is full of incredible stories from the musician’s childhood, including several harrowing scrapes with death, and includes humorous anecdotes about his six decades in the music business.

“The ’30s in Chicago, man. Whew. No joke,” Jones said of his childhood. “If you think today’s bad… As a young kid, after my mother was taken away, my brother and I, we saw dead bodies every day. Guys hanging off of telephone poles with ice picks in their necks, man. Tommy guns and stogies, stacks of wine and liquor, big piles of money in back rooms, that’s all I ever saw. Just wanted to be that.”

Jones also describes coming up in the music business alongside Ray Charles and Michael Jackson, and claims he used to buy drugs from a young Malcolm X.

“Every time we’d go to Detroit, at the Majestic hotel, standing in front, with his Italian sh*t on and amber glasses: Malcolm X. Detroit Red. That’s where we bought our dope,” Jones said. “It was before he went to prison.”
