Saturday Night – Music
Artist: “Weird Al” Yankovic
Tune: White & Nerdy
The music of Weird Al is different. He has hammered out a niche. Weird Al has made some great parodies, but White and Nerdy may be his best.
Something strange is going on
Something Strange is going on
I don’t believe in those mass conspiracy theories, but something strange is going on. Conservatives suppressing the truth is nothing new. Why they decided to bury this report is obvious. It simply doesn’t conform to their world view. Tax rates for the rich have no relation to overall economic growth. This was a no-brainer, but millions of Americans where suckered by the GOP who sold this as fact.
The largest progressive blog has been down most of the day. Now, I go to the Daily Kos about once or twice a day. I have done so for years. I don’t remember its being down for anything but maintenance. Crashed? All day? Just before a big election? Something is up. (BTW, the Daily Kos is based in California and not on the East Coast.)
Another progressive blog, Crooks and Liars, is down. This isn’t good. I don’t know what craziness has been pulled. I wouldn’t think that conservatives… wound hack… yes, they would. Something strange is going on. This may turn out to be something very explainable. Then again…
For my Friday Night music selection –
Artist: Three Dog Night
Tune: Momma Told Me not to Come
Sting – "Ain't No Sunshine"
I love You Tube, because you never know what you will find if you just start clicking.
Sting sings the great Bill Withers song on Night Music in 1989. He’s accompanied by Bill Frisell, Fareed Haque, David Sanborn, Hank Roberts and Don Alias.
Artist: Sting
Tune: Ain’t No Sunshine
I thought that I should post the original with Sting’s version. This is Bill Withers. I love Sting, but Bill is simply soulful. Enjoy.
BTW, I would be grateful if someone can ID the guys playing with Withers.
Artist: Bill Withers
Tune: Ain’t No Sunshine
