CRAZY HORSE

This is what I'm listening to on the Beats this am...the best of them Eagles ...lawdy, they were good...so many great tracks...the one that I am featuring today is Desperado ...one of Rolling Stones top 500 songs...really... You know that is was never ever released as a single ?...this was the days of the album having nothing but good stuff...in lieu of fillers...you oldsters know what I'm referring to...and good enough for others to record it...we call them 'covers'...which I like a lot...good songs...sung by others... I REALLY dig this... The best were by... Linda Rondstadt ...terrific version... Johnny Cash , with a background vocal of Don Henley (orig)....and gulp, Miranda Lambert ...really...she did good on it...trust Horse...there were others, but this is the cream thus far... A movie of the same name came out some years after... starring Anthony Banderas and that dude from   the Sopranos...the guy with bad teeth....ha ha...and the Tex Mex looker, Salma ...

The beauty of this country is all the checks and balances of the system...when a Prez completes one of his campaign promises, if it doesn't fit...there are blockades there...usually in Congress...however, it can also be in the courts...and that is exactly what happened to 'The Travel Ban' ...now, I'm not saying it is right or wrong...but it is definitely on hold...until there are more thoughts about it all...and...sure of there is more legislation in favor of it... will this end up in the Supreme Court's hands?... Also, does this not show that there are limits of the Prez? ...this is not a dictatorship...for sure... buckle up kids, I think we are in for quite a ride... Moseying  our way into the Celebrity Apprentice ...the show...OK...where the dude who does the firing is no longer DJT...but Ahnold...let's be honest... he is terrible ...if I am to hear his self promotion of when he did his body building and his competitions...I'm gonna scream!...was t...

Alias, the Knicks ...were the Knickerbockers ... 'any descendant of a Dutch settler in New York...a New Yorker' ...a way cool name for a franchise...of the NBA...a once proud one, too...not anymore...the team is abyss in below mediocrity...in a land where many have called, the root of hoops...and play in the legendary MSG...Madison Square Garden... Mired in repeated mistakes of acquiring personnel...including their GM's... the ownership has been taking quite a beating lately...(See Spanos of the LA Chargers, too)...I've said this quite often, the owners use these teams as tinker toys ...well, now the media has had it's fill of the product...and is writing and talking about it...lots about the losses... NYC peops have the memories of Clyde Frazier, Willis Reed, Bill Bradley, Dave Debuschere, Phil Jackson (part of the story now), and the enforcer, Charles Oakley ...amongst many others...and the city revels in those dudes...put on a pedestal, if you will......

Hey, ya"ll...just a short one this am...as I am heading on out to the course...but, I have to leave you with this... Health Care ...what is going to happen with 'Obamacare?'. ..is the new regime gonna eliminate it, revise it, or what? ...these two former Prez wannabes did a debate last eve on CNN... What?...I thought we were through with these thingers until the mid term... Bernie , my unabashed choice for Prez, and the principal opposition to Trump, Cruz ...and it turned out to be highly entertaining....actually better than the other debates...really...however...I'm not sure who they were representing...that is, talking in behalf of... I sense they were viewing their OWN feelings...which is just fine...I think we all want to know what's gonna happen with it...is there still guaranteed insurance for all?...are you or I still to be covered?...can the insurance company drop you at their whim...or as Bernie put it, if they can't make money off of us... H...

Morning, ya"ll... it's raining here in SoCal ... AGAIN! ...what?...ruins my golf date...again...keep the sticks in the building...again...boooo.... 'but we need the rain' ...if I hear that just one more time, I'm gonna scream.... You have problems with the Electoral College? ...the antiquated method of the country voting, er electing, the Prez?...well, try this on for size...to delay a vote in the Senate, our fine elected officials...do this other combative procedure...they control the floor of the Senate with a filibuster...or, as I headline today's donny brook, FILLY-BUSTER! ... Betsy DeVos ... Prez T's nominee foe the Education Secretary ...ah yes...you gots the background on her?...slap me around if you think that if I call her a lobbyist , that I am off base...she does have a lot of $ to throw about...she is married to the dude who was the CEO of Amway...yup, that fine company...Dick DeVos...is that where the Devos got their name?...I digress.....

To say what has been posted all over the web net...is absolutely redundant...and true true... Terrific Tom Brady is just that...led the Pats back from almost certain defeat...in a wild 4th quarter, that surprised most all of us...and won the 51st Super Bowl in overtime ...let's look back... Atlanta dominated the 1st half in...get this...scoring... up 21-3 ...breezing...or so it seemed...the recently named MVP of the regular season, their QB Matt Ryan, was on fire ...looking every bit as the proper recipient of that award...the defense was mauling the Patriots...actually hit the aforementioned Brady...often...and put the New England team in disarray ...the interception for a TD was just the icing on the cake...hold on, kids... there was a hidden item ...that NO ONE was talking about... Halftime ...the highly anticipated show of Lady Gaga ...what?...she did not disappoint... full of energy and actually, get this Brit (and JLo), she sang in lieu of lip syncing ...without a d...

Just in case you can't read the 'LI" thinger...this is the fifty-first time the Super Bowl has been played...this time, in Houston ...like Texas, you geographically lost lame brains...here are 11 , like eleven tough questions to ponder.... Q#1 ... who sang the song with that city as a title? ...well now, interesting that we would talk title...as so many blokes and ladies will congregate somewhere...like party down Garth...wager a quid or something on one of them teams...yell a bit at whatever...and hope their square gets hit...right?... Q#2 ... what was or is, Lady Gaga's real name? ...you know she was a star in the HBO monster hit, 'The Sopranos'...well, a bit player...and totally unrecognizable as to what she has become...hmmm...yes she can actually sing...not like some of your other favs, who lip synch...OK, she is the halftime show headliner...yippee... Q#3 ... what's the point spread? ...I've been writing about this all week...actually mo...
