Here we are with me doing another DUAN like
but, in all honesty, I’m
while I pretend I ain’t
as I try to take upon myself this task while everyone wonders

I hope you all are feelin’ alright
I’m so stir crazy, I’m about to make a Prison Break!
I probably won’t get away with it, I’m a Loser
I Need You
I’ve always loved this song. It’s so beautiful. Rest in Peace Bill – you had an amazing voice!
We’re losing a lot of musicians. John Prine is still on a ventilator with pneumonia in both lungs. And still so many GOP pukes are hale and hardy. There must be a devil because they’ve made a deal to live beyond any natural life.
As I’ve said before – this is why I don’t believe in karma.
I just read this article about him. Really interesting guy.

He didn’t get his start until he was 31, and took off right away. He had sole songwriting credit on his hits, so he kept all of his royalties and got financial independence in a way that a lot of artists never did. He refused to hire a manager and avoided paying that cut of his earnings and also never had his money stolen, like a lot of guys with unscrupulous managers did. He also maintained artistic independence, since he didn’t have a manager making all kinds of crazy promises and cutting weird deals.
He finally got sick of the business and walked away, invested wisely, and didn’t look back.
Anyway, here he is with Grover Washington Jr.
Talented and smart!
When my daughter was in Middle and High School she had a penchant for hooker shoes. She wore some of the most outlandish footwear, stiletto heels, ankle straps, just crazy stuff. She was used to them, her feet never hurt, and she could even run in them. I used to sing this song when I’d see what she walked out of the house in every morning.
Kirsty McColl – In These Shoes
Hooker shoes. Hilarious–I’m sure she thought it was just as funny.
Surprised you didn’t sing Those Shoes:
I should have, never thought about it for some reason! But seriously, her shoes were insane. She went to a school with about 1500 kids and she was known as the girl with the shoes, lol. People she didn’t know talked about her shoes. She owned more shoes than Imelda Marcos. When the rest of the girls in her school were doing the SCENE look she was full on rockabilly, Betty Page hair, polka dot dresses and those shoes. She had style!
Grandma’s Hands
I hope you found them, Bill…
I prefer my Lou based ladies to be of the Zindy variety!

The Beach Boys – Wouldn’t It Be Nice

James Brown – I Feel Good

Pharrell Williams – Happy

Smashing Pumpkins – Bullet with Butterfly Wings
The first employee at work (different location) with CoVID-19 is now the first fatality (and sadly probably not the last.)
Meanwhile site leadership dithers like a bunch of fucking idiots while demanding control. Took the site leader shitheads five days after it happens to let us know that someone on site is a possible infected–I may have crossed paths with this individual. Voiced my personal dismay to my supervisors.

Fuck! Be well buddy! I feel your rage too!
Dedicated to the QAnon moron who tried to sink the USNS Mercy with a train.
Alternative lyrics with additions from Matt Novak
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To do everything QAnon ever wanted, in one moment
Would you sink it, or just derail short of the ship?
Yo! His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There’s vomit on his sweater already: QAnon’s word spaghetti
He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To sink that ship, but he keeps on forgetting
What QAnon wrote down, the train goes so loud
He opens the speed, but the train won’t go on
He’s choking, how? Everybody’s joking now
The rail’s run out, time’s up, over, blaow!
Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope
There goes Moreno, he choked, he’s so mad but he won’t
Give up that easy, no, he won’t have it, he knows
His whole train’s on these ground, it don’t matter, he’s sound
He knows that but he’s gone, he’s so sure, he knows
You better choo choo yourself in the Q sick, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This train is only late once in a lifetime, yo.
Some wise DUANer says “their’s a Jovi for that”, well their’s a Spreaders for this
