Mar 192021
It’s a completely exhausted day here in the CatBox. A Hospice Social worker is coming between 8:30 and 9:00 this morning. When she’s done, I plan to disappear until WWWendy comes tomorrow morning. I hope I can get used to the time change and to methadone. TGIF!

Today’s took me 4:23 (average 5:00). To do it, click here. How did you do?

Short Take:
From YouTube (a blast from the past): The Doors – Riders On The Storm (HQ)
I dislike the words as much as I like the melody. Perhaps the the melody is Democratic and the words are Republican. RESIST the Republican Reich!!
Don’t Let Republicans Steal YOUR Future!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Do rest – and do have a restful weekend.
This, from The New Yorker, has got to be interesting, even if there’s no immediate way to grab and use it.
March 19 – Happy Saint Joseph’s Day. No beer of any color (if there were,, it would be red), but look up Zeppole San Giuseppe and salivate. Maybe, if we all got behind Saint Joseph’s Day, we could convince Italian Americans to turn Columbus Day over to Native Americans. Hey, it’s worth a try.
This claims to be peer-reviewed. I’d want Nameless’s or Dave’s opinion (or both) before passing it on any farther.
Cartoon – For sure.
Blast – Well, there is a Republican in the lyrics – but the song warns you against him. And it apparently goes on to say “listen to women’s voices.” I don’t think the lyrics are Republican, but a suggestion of how vigilant we have to be to keep Republicans from destroying everything.
Zeppole San Giuseppe: I think I could start to venerate this saint but I fear my arteries would object.
McConnell is a dumbbell indeed. Go for it, Biden, life after the filibuster can only get better.
Rest up, and try to ignore the time change, se if you can just ride with it.
‘Toon: You bet!
I have never listened to the song as intently as I just did, earphones and all. I Still love it. “Into this world we’re thrown;” and the “storm” may be the storm of life, into which we do enter alone, on some level. The Doors were known for some darkish lyrics. I am particularly a fan to “The Alabama Song,” written by Kurt Weil and Bertolt Brecht, for “the Threepenny Opera,” also a bit on the dark side.
I thought “The Alabama Song” was in “The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny.” Of course both shows were dark, probably equally dark though in somewhat different ways. (“Mother Courage” may beat out both of them.)
Cartoon: Agree 100%.
BFTP: I, like Mitch, never paid that much attention to the words. I was more into the music. I always liked The Doors.
Hope your visit went well this morning.
Please do get your rest Tom. Tell Wendy “Hello” tomorrow.
Take care.
Go with the flow, TomCat, and do whatever you feel like doing and feels best for you.
4:23 Your head is clearing already.
Cartoon: Or anywhere else.
BFTP: I never was much of a Doors fan and this is song is one of theirs I did like, probably for the haunting quality of the music, not for the text.
Sorry I replied to nothing else. Sick!
