Okay, it’s Saturday, so let’s get right to this. First: two brand new songs from new albums. Arcade Fire is now “Stuck in My Head.”
Title track from just out I’m With Her lp, “Wild and Clear and Blue.”
This threatens to go viral, one of last fun songs from the late Jill Sobule, “J.D. Vance Is a Cunt.”
Never saw before this quote from Linda Ronstadt, 1969. This does sound like NYC when I arrived a year later…..
I'm all for being understanding, but...I was outside waiting for a cab and this guy comes up to me and says, "Hey. chick, you wanna get laid?" And I'm sure he was drunk... He probably really felt like an idiot afterward, but I just hauled off and slugged him right in the mouth. But I'm sure the guy really felt like a fish out of the water in New York and everything and I probably should have known that and been understanding. But I was just so pissed off and…I wasn't going to take him home with me, but I probably could have gotten on the other side of the street and not hit him in the mouth...which was just the wrong thing to do.
You may be sick of the new Pope memes and cartoons but just a few here:
And More Cartoons
Thank you :)))
The music is inspiring today, especially the JD song. It is now stuck in my head, and I will be singing it to anyone tone-deaf enough to listen to me. The best cartoon today is the one with (t)Rump on the couch with the psychiatrist. Right on point!
