    This is the 1981 song “Find Another Fool” by Quarterflash. Please note the opening lyrics of:“I should have learned this lesson long ago”“That friends and lovers always come and go”That singing is 20 notes long.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0lRM7FmJgUAnd this is the 1979 song “We Live For Love” by Pat Benatar. The same 20 notes (or at least 20 very similar notes) can be heard from the guitar at the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD8TCo2QW6U

    Pat Benatar isn’t known for being violent. She found herself angry enough to lash out, however, when Chrysalis Records overruled an attempt to escape from her glamorous image. There'd been slow-building frustration with label boss Terry Ellis, who Benatar believed was incapable of thinking he could ever be wrong. “Chrysalis kept at me, and it seemed like they just never stopped – it was one thing after another,” Benatar wrote in her 2011 memoir Between a Heart and a Rock Place. “I came to call it ‘the gauntlet,’ because it felt like that was what I was running through.

    Pat Benatar won’t perform her 1980 classic “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” anymore. Amid ongoing gun violence in America, the singer says she’s come to view the song differently. “I’m not going to sing it,” Benatar told USA Today. While the song’s meaning is about strength and resiliency, Benatar said “you have to draw the line” and be aware of lyrics. “I can’t say those words out loud with a smile on my face, I just can’t,” Benatar said, adding that the decision is her “small contribution to protesting.” **SNIP** Benatar said she will continue perform “We Belong,” “Heartbreaker”...

    I think we can use a bit of this today with all of the garbage being thrown at us from the left and the Marxist in Chief. Let's not forget what, who, and why we celebrate this time of year and never forget what went on during the time of this recording. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smzFAtyABE0 It's Christmas in America There's carols in the air The snow falling on the ground There's holly everywhere The people they're all different too Their troubles put aside They smile a little brighter It seems at Christmas time It's Christmas in America Let the angels sing It's...
