Joe Bonamassa and the crew playing FREDDY KING, SONNY THOMPSON: "Someday After A While (You'll Be Sorry") From the LIVE IN AMSTERDAM concert, 2013, with Beth Hart.
Great LOUD Intro.
Thanks, everyone.
Hawaiian: He Mele Lahui Hawaii. Written by the Princess, before becoming Queen Liliuokalani. This song served for a number of years as the Anthem for the Hawaiian Kingdom before it was illegally annexed by the U.S.A. Her uncle rep…
I can't cheer for either dog in the fight, but I'll be happier Blue rather than Red. There's no Republican Party any longer. Not for decades. Repugnant. Anti-American. Subversive. Oligarchic. Soul-less. Heartless. And at the Top: brainless.
He is an obscenity. In addition, NO ONE is worth $1T/year. But they gave it to him. Un-fucking-believable. Further up in this thread, shareholder lawsuits were mentioned. Holding my breath. Anyhow, I would not go near anything that had ever been wit…
Lewis Black: "It's gonna SUCK today, but I got my smallpox vaccine, so at least I won't get SMALLPOX!!!!" (But will the country survive a Russian asset in the Oval Office?)
Good time to be retired. All others get screwed. A friend has been promoted within DHS (going back to last February) and moved to Washington area. He's not getting paid. It's real.
Another genre I love: from "La Boheme." Muzetta's Waltz. Italian, with Spanish subtitles, here. Nicole Cabell NAILED this. This has to be my favorite production of the opera. Anna Netrebko. Rolando Villazon.
Wow, I'm learning some fascinating stuff. Re: Reed/Velvet Underground: at that period in my life, I was just simply pointed in a very different direction. So, I came to appreciate SO MUCH STUFF much later. I'm thinking 10,000 Maniacs and Velvet Unde…
I can't sign-in to YouTube lately. Owned by Google. If I go to google to sign-in, a blank page appears. I must have blocked it. But you can never block them completely. Big Brother wants all of your shit. Every bit. Malwarebytes, CCleaner, Avira ant…
10,000 Maniacs doing the Patti Smith/Bruce Springsteen song: "Because The Night." Gawd, N.M. was so gorgeous. This version is HOT. Jane Scarpantoni is on the bass fiddle, and she gets credit for the same thing again with Lou Reed on "Sweet Jane," be…
What to do with maturing CDs? Oh, dear. DODLX at 4.43% yield? I'm still holding my junk, yielding over 7%. But share price has been very slowly falling... FALN yields 6.15%. "Break a leg."
Ya, it all seems plausible.
The chat agent wondered if the 2 missing pennies were in any way connected to the (literally) 2 cents sitting in wifey's cash section of her IRA. But I told him that I just never did anything with that account. So, the a…
Whack-a-mole. Shit. Nevertheless, the tariffs were instituted under an Emergency Declaration where no real emergency exists. It could be correctly asserted that is where the coup d'etat from within the government began. The "emergency" was manufactu…
I hope to Gawd SCOTUS doesn't lie down for this. The country and the world need these Orange suck-tariffs to be REVERSED. Bessent was crying on tv about what a mess it would be to attempt to correctly refund the companies. Of course, you and I get..…
