« La vie est ponctuée de phases et de remises en question ; avec l'âge, je trouve qu'être pianiste-musicien-compositeur n'est plus aussi fun qu'avant », aurait-il confié à un proche. Dans son entourage, on laisse entendre que Herbie s'orienterait vers des activités plus créatives qui l'intéressent vraiment, sans fournir de détails.

“Le pianiste américain #HerbieHancock serait sur le point d'annoncer la fin de sa carrière et son départ à la retraite imminent. #Herbie #Hancock, qui fêtait ses 86 ans en avril dernier, s'avouerait en privé las mais surtout totalement dépassé par l'industrie musicale actuelle.”

Imagine discovering one of the world’s greatest iron ore provinces, then somehow ending up with a fortune without actually owning or mining the ore.
That’s the Hancock story.
Australia’s Pilbara now generates around $138 billion a year in iron ore exports, while the public gets to watch enormous private fortunes being built from resources that belong, in theory, to all of us.
And then there’s Wittenoom — the town Hancock sold, now erased from the map, with millions of tonnes of deadly blue asbestos still sitting in the gorge.
A fascinating story of geology, ambition, legal battles and, ultimately, who gets to profit when private interests meet public resources.Perhaps the real Australian mining tradition isn’t “dig it up and sell it”.
It’s “find it, get the rights, and make sure the money flows upward.” -

Letter From Home: “Little Raccoon” 6/18/26
A couple of weeks ago, James and I sorted through a large drawer containing childhood memories. I picked up the well-used and somewhat frayed hardcover copy of Little Raccoon. My father would come into the dining room, and without ceremony, he’d reach for the book that was included in a pile of my childhood reads. I had recalled this book many times over the past years. I knew it was here in our home, but with some additional shelving recently added, we started reorganizing some of our […]https://caffeinatedpolitics.com/2026/06/18/letter-from-home-little-raccoon-6-12-26/

Favorite Pulitzer Prize Winning Author Allen Drury In My Dad’s (Royce Humphrey) Family Tree!
Allen Drury has been a part of my life since the middle school years. As a teenager, his books, which were filled with political drama, remained a source of amusement as his series involved a wide array of colorful and at times incendiary characters. As a young adult, I remained a faithful reader of his stories about politics, law, and current events. I admired this eclectic and dapper man, who I would learn was gay. That connection meant a lot to me, coming from a rural conservative dot in […] -
Why America’s 250th Birthday Doesn’t Feel Like 1976’s Celebration
America is about to turn 250, and you wouldn’t know it unless you happened to trip over a press release from the city or county about a parade or upcoming fireworks displays. For a nation that once threw itself a year‑long Bicentennial bash — tall ships crowding New York Harbor, wagon trains converging on Valley Forge like a Norman Rockwell recreation — the silence today is deafening. And it is very sad as we prepare to observe the semiquincentennial. This past week, James and I […] -

Jasmine Hancock – State to Upstate
Jasmine Hancock prances throughout Upstate NY as a dainty and bouncy upcoming artist. She intends to bounce her way toward the top of the charts with catchy songs, appealing visuals and networking.
We discovered Jas Han at the first Show the World showcase which took place last November. We were drawn to her bubbly presence on stage, confident poise and unapologetic nature. The “Gutter Baby” has been mobilizing herself around the Empire State. She continues to add notches onto the belt with showcase performances in the Capital Region and NYC.
Much like us, Jasmine migrated from the Midwest to the East Coast. Hailing from Beckley, WV, this gem of an artist migrated East to attend college at St. Rose. She graduated with a degree in Communications/Media Studies and did so just in time for the school to shut down. Since the school shut down, we decided to film music video scenes at St. Rose en memoriam of the campus.
We even discovered that Jasmine’s Aunt is a West Virginia artist, too! Hailing from West Virginia led Jasmine to catch many, “West V rays” now she is “bound to make plays” as she takes her brand from state to state. Check the Fresh!

Gay People Are Part Of Every Family
I was reminded this week of a truism. Gay people are a part of every family. One of the chief bullies from my high school years has a gay brother in a long-term committed relationship with his partner. Good for the brother. That fact intersects with my life, and to be honest, I hope that sitting down on this chilly and now rainy afternoon and writing will allow for some inner feelings to be explored about a painful chapter of my life with an ironic component. As a teenager, I was […]https://caffeinatedpolitics.com/2026/04/29/gay-people-are-part-of-every-family/
