It Was the Mash





I was working in the lab, late last nite....naw, this is too easy and overdone...but, doggone it, it was a graveyard smash...terrific beat and absolutely fun to listen to...'The Monster Mash' by Bobby Boris Pickett and the Crypt Kicker Five...Pickett came up with the idear of the song...as he was doing a gig with another band...and started talking ala Boris Karloff...and the foundation was set...they made an album of eerie songs...ha ha...in the session was none other than Leon Russell, to name drop...and the drummer was the dude of the Ventures, Mel Taylor...the sound effects were coo, the coffin opening was imitated by a rusty nail pulled out of a board...the cauldron bubbling was simulated by water being bubbled thru a straw...and the chains rattling were simply chains being dropped on a tile floor...and there you go...released in '62 and it is a classic...

          AND did you know...that Andrew Gold did a cover of it...and one of the background sangers was none other than Linda Ronstadt!...'96...as did The Beach Boys...Mike Love as the lead...

'Thriller'...by Michael Jackson...another instant smash...that had the same type of licks that Mash did...of course, by the time Jackson's came out...the video was the bomb...which made it more than what it was...

Don't mean to be writing a blog of songs today...it just started that way....

Eerie, as the Lakers won a game...over the Nuggets in LaLa Land...appeared to moi, that this was a mail in effort by Denver...lack of effort was obvious...perhaps, too much cider on the plane ride...

Sports...the Bills are one of the elite in the NFL...no doubt...as they hosted the Pack last eve...pulverized the OLine of GB, and made Rodgers look like crap...listen, kids...real impressed with the Pack brain trust...as after half, they did everything quick and negated the Bill's rush...Buff still won, but I rarely see PROFESSIONALS make adjustments...college and high school, yes...pros, no...

More info on the attack at Pelosi's house...the attempted killer had an agenda of names...that he was after...I THINK, that you can link this to trump...another bloke trying to please his master...

I am battling a bloody cold...the one that is going around throughout the country...yea, that one...hate it...cough so much...I think...yes, think...that it is starting to work it's way out of my system...no golf today...boooooooo...

Saw a great clip on the Tennessee cheerleaders...(rally?)...what are they to be called nowadays?...anyhoo, a security guy was in the way...and it turned out he was a plant...to do the routine...it was fun...he bee bopped and scatted with the gals...

There was a time. that HBO's Bill Maher, was funny...maybe too far left...but relatable...is it just me, or has he gone bonkers?...no humor, attacking more than discussing, and just too hard to watch...which I have finally given up on him...

World Series game 3 in Philly tonight...OK...a win for the Phils?...

It's really not an issue for us at the home...high rise folk...but, what is the best candy?...peek back into your very own history...when you were young...younger, ah ha...mine is the Snickers...Boss likes the Reeses...I like candy corn...true dat...but close 2nd is a tie between Idaho Spud and Mellomint Patty...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
