    The state of our nation

    Ms Clinton cheered for the aerial attack on Libya. She was delirious about the horrible death of Qaddafi. If you can't see my objection to the destruction of Libya... Sorry, I don't see what I, that's I, am supposed to see as a person with Democratic or democratic values. Clintons, that's the...

    I need a boot disc...

    You are one peripatetic individual. I'm old now and hate traveling, but that's my problem. Not really, I was never a globetrotter but was lucky to see a bit of the world as a youngster. Yet Kaitain is one champion of air miles! I hope you can turn all of those miles into Business Class seats...

    The state of our nation

    The Dems lost the 2016 election because they had nothing to offer. The DNC still has nothing to offer. Talk about an oligarchy! Rather than address their catalog of shortcomings--the worst one is that they care about the rich and not one iota for the poor, they began chanting "Russia, Russia...

    New Spectre Developments

    Supposedly Intel is coming out with new i7's and i9's that don't use multi-threading. Will this help with Spectre and that other pita problem?

    The state of our nation

    B-b-b-but the Mumps is an American hero! Why must there be truth to this in the "minds" of some? The only thing that worries me about Trump being kicked out of office is... Pence. The man is a cave-man Christian of the worst sort. This means not a real Christian, but a faux one of the very worst...

    Love to leave this blank, but can't. Political arguments should be avoided at the dinner table. Enough said.

    The state of our nation

    It's impossible for me to not dislike Trump with a passion. The sob does something new every minute to hurt little people. Yet I'm not certain what his crimes against the state are. No doubt that his crimes against humanity scream loudly for punishment that he will notice. Mueller was an...

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

    Even the VU meters work in this video! Since I became a Washingtonian by transplant I've replaced the single (repeated) lyric of this song with something with more of a local flavor... wait for it... Tacoma! Never liked tequila way back when I consumed alcohol. Avoid Cuervo, it isn't a good...

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

    Certainly an outstanding example of "gutbucket" blues.

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

    I surely know the first three notes. What a classic! The great thing about Booker T. and the MG's was that (Donald) Duck Dunn, on bass and Steve Cropper on guitar were in the band and both were of the Caucasian persuasion. If you'll pardon the way I put it. Cropper and Dunn were in the original...

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

    I did a quick search on Youtube. That version was sans audio as well.

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

    I'm not a fan either, but my family moved to LA in 1964, so it's a personal historic marker. I didn't know this history. Thank you!

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

    Black people in Britain are seen as less of threat than they are here. Interestingly, they had slavery but renounced it in around 1850. I am so sad that in our South they made it an institution. And the North too! We are still a VERY racist country some 150 years later. Joan Baez sang "Joe...

    Video on demand - which do you currently use?

    Amazing, Filmstruck FINALLY acknowledged my requests to be relieved of their 14-day free trial membership. I'm glad--but the return address for their "Help" requests that doesn't work is a bit much. For the money they charge, which is roughly 13 bones a month for access to their collection plus...

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

    Durn, I get no audio from the first selection. The second selection pleases me. However, a song being "country" doesn't guarantee it's good.

    Summer 1964 welcome to LA: My aren't they clean cut?

    Video on demand - which do you currently use?

    I sincerely want to avoid Amazon's on demand service. Netflix does NOT offer enough quality movies, and they are not getting better over time. I refuse to watch the crappy offerings of TV from my exorbitantly overpriced cable contract. Yes, buying DVD's even from TCM (the folks that allegedly...
