RDP Tuesday: disapprove

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

Written for RDP, where Martha asks us
 to get creative with the word “disapprove”.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s my musical take.

Every now and then we need a reminder:

Freedom of speech is the right to express ideas without censorship or fear of reprisal, protected globally as a human right and specifically by the U.S. First Amendment, allowing even unpopular speech, but with limits for incitement, defamation, obscenity, and certain illegal acts like perjury, while also covering symbolic actions like flag burning, though private entities like social media platforms can set their own rules.

  1. Timely take. I’ve listened to John Mellencamp for 40 years, starting when he was still John Cougar Mellencamp. Still dig the man and would love to catch him during his “Dancing Words Tour 2026″/greatest hits tour, but based on what I’ve seen, tickets appear to be outside my price range.

    I most recently saw Mellencamp in Philly in July 2017 with Emmylou and Carlene Carter – great show. But tickets were way more affordable!
