    Snowden Movie

    The first movie about Mr Snowden was "Citizen Four." It's more of a documentary and less of a hagiography and good as well as Oliver Stone's dramatization of the story. I admire Oliver Stone, I think "Platoon" is the most accurate film about Viet-Nam, and Oliver Stone is a Viet-Nam veteran...

    The state of our nation

    And many retired officers of flag rank(generals and admirals) say they want a world without nukes. Wouldn't it be great if Eisenhower said this when he was STILL president?

    The state of our nation

    I know very well that MacArthur wanted to nuke China. He also disobeyed the direct order from Truman not to antagonize China. It's funny, some folks insist he was a great military leader and some know that he was a bit tetched in the haid. You mean Truman didn't maximize his profits from being...

    The state of our nation

    A quote from Douglas MacArthur that seems very relevant to our political situation: "IT IS PART OF THE GENERAL PATTERN OF MISGUIDED POLICY THAT OUR COUNTRY IS NOW GEARED TO AN ARMS ECONOMY WHICH WAS BRED IN AN ARTIFICIALLY INDUCED PSYCHOSIS OF WAR HYSTERIA AND NURTURED UPON AN INCESSANT...

    Hope this isn't a re-post.

    Just had to repost the original, I love it:

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    Hopefully this is a funny bone tickler. (I far prefer the original "MmmMmmMmmHmm" by the Crash Test Dummies" but Al deserves a gold start for trying)

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    Maybe, just perhaps, you might think about using an older version of Mint in pursuit of playing many videos better? Heresy, I know. Sorry!

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    Another repost. Mr Knopfler's own version of this song is quite beautiful, btw. You can't really judge from videos, but it looked like Mark Knopfler may have developed a "thing" for Ms Harris (who in their right mind wouldn't, I ask you?) when they worked together. Emmylou firmly discouraged...

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    A repost of this great classic from yesteryear is extremely welcome! I was very young as well, but it was not my fault. Sometimes I was innocent, yay!

    Yes, one of the world's most pleasant things to behold.

    The state of our nation

    I just talked with an old friend who lives in Northern California. Her sky is dark gray in the daytime and the world smells smoky. I don't know if fire can threaten her as it has far too many people in California. I think she's in a relatively safe place, I obviously hope so. Three hundred...

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    Perhaps, just perhaps the freshest distro from Mint doesn't handle music videos all that well? The barest possibility, naturally. Perish the thought!

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    ThundrRd's original post here was most valuable and very true indeed. Sorry I'm so late in reply.

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    I had a secret crush on a woman I used to sing with locally. Our teacher(the Lord bless her and save her from anything bad. She was and I hope is an overwhelmingly fantastic music teacher) used to hand her simple percussive rhythm instruments casually as we sang. She played them all flawlessly...

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    "Everything is beautiful in it's own way." Arrgh! I've hated this song and its concept since the first time my ears were struck with its insipid horror. Thank god my ears haven't been ""blessed"" with it for decades.

    The state of our nation

    G'Kar, what a concept! No disrespect to Gizmo, it IS an interesting clip. Politics has no answer to anything at all. The game is so corrupt in this great land that I see no hope whatsoever in a political solution. As far as I can tell, after great energy and study of the political reality of...

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    Wasn't this one "an official notice of Here's Folk Music?" May be I don't remember it right.

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    I certainly remember this one, thanks for posting it! Didja ever notice that the singer, before being joined by harmony sounds a bit like Bob Dylan?
