67: A Final Voyage Commemorated, a Broadway Snooze Fest, Big League Betting, & a MAGA Rebuke

Welcome to the 67th episode of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast.. This week on David & Stu Unhinged, the topics covered include: 1) Gordon Lightfoot was a Canadian songwriter, folk singer, and musician. Stu takes a brief look at Lightfoot’s style and body of work, and then turns his attention to the Edmund Fitzgerald, a ship that became the subject of one of his most iconic songs. The Fitzgerald saga is compelling and worthy of tribute on its mournful 50th anniversary.2) On Broadway, a revival of the play Art is playing, and it stars James Corden, Neil Patrick Harris, and Bobby Cannavale. The show has generally received favorable reviews from critics and audiences, but after seeing it David felt the best thing about it was that it was 90 minutes with no intermission. Although there were some amusing soliloquies from the well-known diva James Corden, he felt the dialogue was pedantic and at times, sleep-inducing.3) A discussion of legalized gambling in professional sports in the USA, and predictions as to its ramifications. Due to the support of the owners of major sports teams, gambling in professional sports is sending this country further down a dark, unethical path.4) In the off year elections with key races in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City, voters have spoken loudly and the Republicans suffered a massive rebuke by voters as the GOP had substantial nationwide losses, and in the center of capitalism, NYC, voters installed a socialist neophyte nepo baby antisemite as Mayor that will have a devastating impact on the city and make us look back fondly on the DeBlasio years, the worst Mayor in NYC history as of yet.We hope you tune in, and please leave comments.
