Hellbound Glory's Leroy Virgil  isn't afraid to explore the lows to which desperate people will sink. In fact  it's kind of the Reno  Nevada native's forte. As far as lows go  robbing a strip club would seem to rank pretty high on the list  and that's just what  Virgil  does in the new video for the band's grungy country rocker  "Hellbound Blues."

"Cocaine  Kurt Cobain  I've been blowing up my fucking brains " goes the opening line of "Hellbound Blues " a line that proves prophetic in the video  which was directed by Bob Wayne.  Virgil  and a female love interest show up to rob a strip club in the middle of the day  and hit an unexpected jackpot upon emptying the cash registers: a small mountain of cocaine. The two celebrate by snorting the haul back at their place  but the party quickly nosedives as  Virgil 's partner overdoses and  he  commits suicide with the shotgun that  he  just used in the robbery. In typical Hellbound Glory fashion  no grisly detail gets spared.
The video's lurid  violent subject matter already seems to have angered some of the band's fans  prompting a video response from  Virgil . "I understand. I get it. I feel you on that "  he  says. "I don't really like it that much either because I guess I just prefer comedy over drama but I think that Shooter [Jennings] and Bob [Wayne] both did a really good job on it  making it and creating it."

You name it and Donald Trump has fought it. From Mitch McConnell to “fake news” to even his Holiness Pope Francis. But come Tuesday night Trump has a new opponent the likes of which he has never seen: Zari Adrianna Tomaz.
In fact  no one has ever seen a person like  Zari  before  at least not on American television. You see   Zari  is a Muslim superhero. And beginning Tuesday night   Zari  will become part of the cast of the CW’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
Add to that   Zari  will be played by Iranian-American actress Tala Ashe. So Trump can decertify the Iranian deal all he wants  but he can’t stop  Zari .
As the show’s executive producer Marc Guggenheim made clear at a press conference when discussing  Zari  joining Season 3 of the series  it’s not a coincidence that the newest addition to the cast is Muslim in the time of Trump. Guggenheim joked  “You might have heard there was this election.” He added  “Not to get political  but something that we all gravitated toward in the writer’s room was making this character Muslim.”
Just so it’s clear   Zari  will not have Muslim-esque super hero skills like the ability to haggle endlessly over prices.  Zari  actress Tala Ashe—whom I’ve been friends with for several years—told me that  Zari  can fly and wears an ancient amulet that gives her the “power to blast and manipulate the wind.” (I wish she had the power to stop Trump from tweeting!)
But as Ashe notes  the character is not defined by simply being Muslim. Rather  Zari  is a hybrid American—just like so many of us in this country. Ashe explained  “I love that  Zari  is just as American as she is Muslim.”
Today a Muslim TV Superhero Tomorrow a Muslim President!

Against this backdrop emerged one of the more heartening stories of late  a reminder that beneath our ideological differences lies a common humanity and a shared commitment to make this nation a better place to live  even if we disagree profoundly on how to go about it. I'm referring to the grace and eloquence that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demonstrated last week at the U.S. Capitol ceremony to unveil the statue of former President Ronald Reagan.
 Pelosi did not just go through the motions. She spoke of the late president's appreciation for bipartisanship and civility  and his sense of humor. She noted that his statue contained chunks of the Berlin Wall  a "symbol of his commitment to national security and his success." She credited former first lady Nancy Reagan for her role in her husband's achievements  as well as for the impact of her advocacy of stem-cell research.
 Pelosi was obviously aware of all that  yet she saw fit to recognize the moment -- and the reality that the California Legislature had approved the statue replacement with just one dissenting vote -- with class and perspective.
 The contrast of the Reagan ceremony with the tone of contemporary politics could not have been more striking. PelosiPelosi herself has been a target of an overwrought Republican campaign to discredit her as a "hypocrite" because she failed to speak out about the Bush administration's plans to waterboard terrorist suspects after supposedly being briefed in 2002. So let's get this straight: The Bush gang stretches the law to authorize and inflict torture  and the most vigorous supporters of that policy want to deflect the heat on Pelosi  who -- even if she did remain silent after classified briefings -- clearly opposes the practice? It's a twisted political world.
 As Pelosi noted in her citation of Reagan's friendship with one of her predecessors as speaker -- Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill  a proud lion of New Deal liberalism -- there is something special  something very American  about transcending partisanship on a human level  and of respecting ideological differences. These values too often get lost in the furor of modern political warfare.
