It's more likely that it falls most unfairly upon those who can afford the least of everything. I read that someone's secretary now receives $1.50 more per week. A tax "deal" we can all believe in. It must be true, a golf course that isn't green enough must be improved by those that will never...

Wonderful news, I hope you love your new spot. Glad that it's such a short move!

Ouch, just what you need in April. I sincerely hope that your electric power sitch improves soon. I imagine that it's been raining like crazy in your neighborhood of late. I wonder if there is any way to install a wood powered stove in your immense living quarters? Probably another impractical...

Folks closer to the bottom of the heap are penalized by the federal tax code. Mr Trump has made this worse with his and his rich pals paying even less now. It's not right that you are so put upon. Taxes are also rigged. Warren Buffet once said said something like this "my secretary pays far...

Looks like AMD may have released a Spectre2 fix for many of their processors. Wouldn't that be nice? https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/hardware/amd-releases-spectre-v2-microcode-updates-for-cpus-going-back-to-2011/ Late post about this, apologies. Dang this is in an Intel thread. My bad again.

At that point the gummint comes to rescue the bankers--again. And does absolutely nothing for the hundreds of thousands that had their houses repossessed--too often completely and totally fraudulently by those same bankers. Makes you wonder if we're enjoying having so much money of the poor...

Congress is lobbing the softest of softballs at Mr Zuckerman. Yet another "response..." https://tech.slashdot.org/story/18/04/11/1759220/mark-zuckerberg-denies-knowledge-of-non-consensual-shadow-profiles-facebook-has-been-building-of-non-users-for-years

I definitely noticed these two artists in your previous post. (#49) Time does the flying by like a rocket thang as I age. Almost fifty years? Not possible, but as we used to say long ago in a far off place "There it is."

The "latecomers" that join the classic greats seem to base their at least early work on material that came before their time. But not all and some artists grew beyond music influenced by the sixties and seventies. I'm thinking of Billy Joel in particular. The modern true greats that started by...

The best part is that the gummint insists that there isn't any inflation! I honestly don't know whether renting or owning is the better way to go. I'm sorry that you're getting painfully stretched over this sitch. Just like the great majority of everyday people, who those in charge simply don't...

God-mode, infinite reloads, cheat codes. Couldn't have done it without them. Me a lame gamer. It's always something.

Thank you ThunderRd, your clarification is a great thing! Dunno why I got the song's history wrong, but I'm not surprised. You are so right, all of these great songwriters and performers. We are very fortunate to have them in our personal histories. I wonder whether I'm missing the boat on more...

I should accept that the one way journey through the "Iris of The World" is there for all of us, uh, me. There's no escaping it. Maybe music does die when its its time is over. But if it's great it does last. The best(and perhaps the worst) classical music is still with us, even though there are...

I'm in a controlled rent bldg, but few are so fortunate. Millions already can't afford the rent in their neighborhood. It's priority one to keep landlords in business, according to Karump. Many landlords aren't at all wealthy and Trump doesn't care at all about them. But it's human nature to...

Sorry, I never heard anything by or from Jack Tempchin. However, he wrote or co-wrote quite a few of The Eagles' big hits. I'm hot and cold about The Eagles. No doubt that they were a great band and are due much respect. Sometimes I love 'em, sometimes not so much. Thank goodness for the...

Oh my, I mix up John Prine and John Hiatt. They are both great songwriters and performers. Seems that Bonnie Raite covered John Hiatt's version of "Thing Called Love," I especially like her performance of it. But the original was "What Is This Thing Called Love" by Cole Porter, way back in 1922...

I don't know why, but I'm ambivalent about many of John Prine's songs. I must say that his song that you posted hits the spot pretty well. I've certainly heard of T-Bone Burnett. The "River of Love" is new to me. It's quite a song! Thank you for posting it. I've always liked Lyle Lovett a lot...

Jimi is one of my musical heroes. His LP "Axis Bold As Love" still sounds beyond the crowd of performers of that time. IMHO. A friend introduced me to one of his cousins many years after Mr Hendrix was gone. That was really enjoyable. I'm surprised that he reached out to you through country...

Music, we'd be so much poorer without it. Little Richard always bothered me at least a little. It's probably teh gay thing, but I didn't know why long ago. The Platters were nonpareil. In a class of their own, "Twilight Time," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," and "Only You" were such unbelievably...
