Greetings and salutations Planet folk! I was thinking of a universal theme for this weekend and what better one than Life, The Universe and Everything? I was going to title this, Mishigas, the Yiddish word for craziness, that abounds throughout The TPGOP, but I reconsidered, because who could out-crazy the craziest people in the country? Sooo, pick your favorite songs about the universe, planets, stars and moons, space travel…etc. Also post songs about life or anything else you think of. And remember to smile while doing so! 😉
Across the Universe
OFFICIAL Klaatu “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft”
I’ve never met someone whose youth was wasted shooting pool. I’m in awe. That is SO American! So “Music Man”! Really glad to make your acquaintance! And you must be more or less my age to have had RECORDS. I remember that album though I did not own it. But wow – you’re the quintessential American story. Zowie!
The thought of eternal suffering is a significant motivator for those who are strong in their religious beliefs. It is also conducive to those who push various religious doctrines on their congregants to keep them in line.

Klaatu: “LITTLE NEUTRINO”
Spaceman
Here is a song for my 9 year old granddaughter who has played the fiddle 3 years and is excellent at it.
Anyone remember this one?
This was popular when my wife and I got married in 1973.
This song was also used at my mom and the man I proudly call dad wedding. I picked it out, and they both loved it.
Being an old telephone lineman, I have to like this song.
Here is a very pretty song.
