I hope you all like this one. I thought it was beautiful and true, a new explanation of the source (or perhaps the destination) of desperation. Not political at all, except maybe subliminally.

that’s funny... he didn’t realize he was going to be involved, or he didn’t think his associates’ presence would taint the atmosphere, or something?“

Exactly. Yeah technically gambling would be legal but it would be mobsters for heaven’s sake. Yeah, sure Bugs, no one will be looking at us. Legit! Yeah that’s the ticket!

Those are the best 2 albums IMO, but there’s good stuff on other albums as well. “The Wall” has some good stuff, but it also has a bunch of Roger Waters garbage. I hate “Animals”.

“...And then one day you find
ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run,
you missed the starting gun”

Changed my life.

[Repeated Refrain]
You go to Las Wages
Las Wages
You go to Las Wages

[Chorus]
While the poor people sleepin’
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin’
All the stars come out at night
While the poor people sleepin’
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin’
All the stars come out at night

...gosh, it’s been so long... I’ve been immersed in the musicals of the 30’s and 40’s lately, myself. Discovering how many wonderful movies Fred Astaire made, even apart from his collaboration with Ginger Rogers... discovering what an incredible talent Judy Garland was, until she became a drunk and a pill popper in the late 1940s... She was really something. I had no idea until recently. BTW, don’t fool with her 1961 concert at Carnegie Hall... if you’re going to look into Judy, check out Broadway Melody of 1938 and Easter Parade, those are her two biggies, at least so far for me.

You’ll probably enjoy the above youtube if you haven’t seen it already. A new song “Uptown Funk” with old-time dancer clips dubbed into it (Fred Astair, etc.).

Unbelievable how the person got all of the clips to fit just right with the beat. And how dancers from 70 years ago had the moves!

PS: The Funk was the biggest advance in technology between the steamship and the cell phone
