What people fail to understand is that the Democratic Party is propped up by voter fraud. There aren’t as many liberals as we think. That’s why Republicans lead until deep into the night. If elections were required to be settled within 5 hours, this would be a deeply red country.

Irving Berlin made a keen observation. And hence, why his music struck a chord and is timeless.

Much like Mozart writing pieces for the people—that endures to this day. As stated in Amadeus, Mozart spoke about high brow opera—people so lofty they sound as if they sh*t marble!

[Publius]

On his 100th birthday in 1988, Irving woke up to a chorus singing his songs a cappella outside the window of his multimillion-dollar apartment on the Upper West Side. Irving asked the chorus to come in, and he and his housekeeper made blueberry waffles for the group. Irving was tickled that people still remembered his songs.

A year later at age 101, Irving went to bed one night and didn't wake up.

One of his first hits:

Alexander's Ragtime Band--Collins & Harlan (1911)
