54. I'm thinking it's a generic Yiddish melody. I suspect characters in the background of "Fiddler on the Roof" are chanting it.

Or as "The Onion" once referred to it, "Get That Jew off the Roof!"

"In numbers, the US pales."

Clarification: the numbers of Americans gathering on this current bandwagon/distraction.

Started seriously on 9/11. The usual fear-peddling suspects driving useful idiots into a frenzy for fun and profit.

Like our fake Muslim president, "Muslims" had been hiding in secret cells for 1400 years just waiting for their chance: a billion people to evolve en masse into violent theocrats.

In numbers, the US pales.

Want to associate every US elected representative with the current regime in Israel? That country's ratio of national population to deaths incurred worldwide must be staggering in comparison as well.

Some AI results on "amount of its history Iran/Persia has spent in war":

Historians estimate that Iran (Persia) has spent roughly 30% to 45% of its 2,500-year recorded history actively engaged in major wars. Because its borders sit atop the Iranian Plateau"a vital continental bridge between Europe, Central Asia, and India, it has historically been a prime target for invasions and a powerful base for imperial expansion.

Modern Iran (1925-Present) ~15 years / 15% of era / Ba'athist Iraq, Internal Insurgencies

Before that, you're getting into dynasties and empires.

I invite US comparisons.

No love for Yoko?

All he wants is his own permanent place at 1600A Pennsylvania Avenue.

I need to check Zillow and see if there's such an address in Moscow.

Oligarcho-patriarchal-racist-homoerotic, child-raping Zionist theocracy.

God shed his grace on thee.

I feel fine.

Is this headline from 2020? Has everyone gone blank?

To hell with the Epstein Files.

RELEASE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.

Congratulations to Bellringer for not being the one consumed enough to post this.

"The models are forecasting something outside the envelope of anything we have ever observed."

I am not scientifically minded, so take this FWIW:

If I read that sentence very slowly, my takeaway is that the climate is changing.

38. For me, it's been about 2 or 3 years. I think the first encounter was in Detroit, and they had a kiosk at a local market.

The US is on life support. Someone put a bullet in Uncle Sam's brain, just didn't finish the job yet.

My one time on a jury, I ended up as the foreman. Highly instructive, more about the others on the jury in a small city. Congratulations on that persistence.

The Million Dollar Quartet, "This Train":

Cash, Perkins, Orbison, the Killer.

37. The Fugs, "Nothing":

Karen Carpenter made me think of Olivia Newton-John doing "If Not for You," which at least two people I think had hits with it before Dylan's version came out, or very close to it.

Includes a verse Dylan does not sing. I think he wrote alternative verses for a ton of songs, for publication purposes.

35. When I first heard "Put Me in Your Mix," I think I just pulled over and laughed.

"Put me in, put me in ..."

28. Same club where I saw Fahey, John Hartford, David Bromberg, Norman Blake, and many more. Some friends and I rented a house in Atlanta in the early 80s, and six months after we did so a music venue opened across the street. We always were able to be first in line and go back to the house ... as necessary.

Always had front-row seats. Your lust was shared by many.

Saw She and Him in Asheville once. Zooey Deschanel came out in a flowery spring dress, and four hundred men's hearts broke.

I read an AP article once about singers and songs they'd never want to have to sing. Zooey Deschanel offered John Cale, "Paris 1919":

The Roches, "We":

Saw the Roches just as their first album came out. Delightful.

We are Maggie and Terre and Suzzy
Maggie and Terre and Suzzy Roche
We don't give out our ages,
and we don't give out our phone numbers
[Give out our phone numbers],
Sometimes our voices give out,
But not our ages or our phone numbers."

Big Mama Thornton and Buddy Guy, "Ball and Chain":

Ella Fitzgerald and the incomparable Joe Pass. "One Note Samba":

Wanda Jackson, "Hard-Headed Woman":

Johnny Maestro, Brooklyn Bridge, "Worst That Could Happen."

14. Felix Pappalardi on bass, John Sebastian on harmonica, by the way.

You'll also note in that video that Streisand, apparently an animal in the rack, does not cross her legs in a ladylike fashion.

15.

"Hooray for Love," Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand (she was so hot at this age, IMO; just incredibly confident and proud to be where she is at that moment). This was just before she became a star.

And my first girlfriend could sing like her. Crossed eyes and everything.
