Weekend Music Thread – U.S. Blues
This weekend's music thread is for songs about the real America, songs about the country and its cities, staying strong and principled and songs reflecting the values and democracy that America really stands for.
The Far Bloodier Coup That Was Intended
Imagine where we could have been right now. A hostage siege still underway in the Capitol. Trump praising them as patriots while emptily claiming to oppose violence. The Vice President of the US and/or Democratic congresspeople tied up and possibly much worse. And while all decent Americans would be in shock and disbelief at what they were seeing, the entire world including America's most dangerous enemies, would be watching and considering how to respond as they witnessed the United States helpless, threatened and demeaned.
Weekend Music Thread – Brand New Day
To celebrate and share the hope of 2021 being a turnaround year for all of us, this weekend's music thread is about things that are new, hopeful, joyful and just make you feel good about being alive.

Total puking experience . . and they haven’t even spent any real money yet !
Foooooom! Through the Looking Glass.
The name of the Corporation in Wall-E was “Buy N Large.”
I love it!
That’s it! Very funny!
Couldn’t rest until I googled it.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a terrible thing.
We just watched it again the other night. Overall, very good film but the computer/wheel villain was the weakest part, the most cliche part of an inventive film.
Funny, but the thing that stayed with me from it was the fact that Twinkies and cockroaches survived planetary destruction completely unscathed. 😀 I’m sure the makers would be disappointed that that was my take-away! It is better than most kids’ films, though, I must say.
A jab at wal mart or costco
That was a very long Chat. 🙂
Did you lurk again?
I never lurk, I just pass like the wind. Left a message for you on O/T posts.
I saw. 🙂
Mokay then.
We missed you!
I left 3 comments but no one saw me come or leave.
I saw one quick one saying, “Enjoy the chat.”
Well you know what we say about “quick” ones. 🙂
