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

True. Sorry that my great love of theTrump spills over! The monster is SUCH a MONSTER that every tiny thing he does goes so against my principles of Secular Humanism that I could just...stew in my own juices. The absolute worst thing is that he is breaking the law in myriad ways so that he will be reelected.

Any extra dishonestly earned added time of him destroying everything worthwhile makes me upset. And that is what he's doing in broad daylight. And we are allowing him to do it.

The "man" is a mass murderer. Aren't "people" like that put in prison? Not here in this oh so sick country it seems. Time to bind him over to the International Criminal Court in the Hague.

Who the hell are you to hate one of God's creations?
Stop hating you. Stop it. It's bad for you!

Oh, you mean this country withdrew its membership from that august body? What a shocker!
When you hate yourself you are blind to the love found in the world. What a place to be! Luckily I don't always hate myself, if I did I'd be long gone long ago. Hate doesn't seem like a fallacy when it's all you can see. It's as real as a rock.

Love is all you need, the Beatles were right about that. Letting that happen in your life may be a difficult task. It's the only worthwhile task.
 
Pretty famous venue from what I understand. I lived up the hill in a house with ten feet between it and its next door neighbor. Had two families living in it. Autumns and Springs. Strange, but true.

The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl Fairytale of New York

The Pogues are brilliant, and that is my favorite song of theirs. I remember well being told about Kirsty's death some years ago. I was really saddened, she was very talented. Believe it or not, she was killed in some kind of boating accident while trying to save her kids in the water.

An interesting bit of trivia about the song: the writer Shane MacGowan, who is Kirsty's counterpart in the video, was born on Christmas Day. According to lore, he made a bet with the Pogues's producer, Elvis Costello, that he could write a hit song with a Christmas theme. [Cait O'Riordan, Elvis's first wife, was a Pogues member]. Guess what happened?

Now it is the most frequently played Christmas song in the UK ;)

It deserves a lyric post...

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day
