I was a junior in High School when this song was released. I find it incomprehensibly fuckin' ridiculous that GFR is not in the R&R Hall of Fame, but I guess more than anything that speaks to how fuckin' stupid that place really is. ABBA is in it but not these guys. ABBA. Yeah.

There’s an on-the-shelf policy the Biden administration could enact unilaterally that would save millions of American lives, without costing the government a single cent on net.
That policy, one pushed for but never implemented by the Trump administration, is eliminating most nicotine from tobacco products. It would not render cigarettes illegal; they would still be available to adults, and the smoking experience would remain much the same. But the product would no longer be so addictive. Researchers have estimated that this policy change would enable 5 million adult smokers to quit within a year. The share of adults who smoke regularly would drop from roughly 15 percent to just 1 percent; 33 million fewer people would become smokers by the end of the century. It would save 8.5 million lives by 2100, at little public cost.
Note the emphasis on 'cost'. It's always only ever been about money - we know that. The fact that all state governments (with the exception of Virginia) use tobacco as a cash cow is a fact and we know it.
If these fuckin' people really gave a shit, they'd ban smoking period. I smoke - I get it. (I am no quitter pal - juss' sayin').

Last Man Standing is staging a Home Improvement crossover, of sorts, for its final season. Star Tim Allen will reprise his former TV role as the Taylor family patriarch and Tool Time host for a surreal Last Man Standing episode which has Allen playing both sitcom dads at the same time.
The episode’s setup: “The Baxters see double when Vanessa hires a home improvement repairman who bears an uncannily resemblance to Mike, who is struggling with an idea for his Outdoor Man 10th Anniversary vlog.”
A great idea to keep in the trunk.

Why do you suppose so many of these NYC employees don't wanna take it? Makes no sense - or maybe they know something we don't, huh?
More than half of New York City firefighters say they won’t be vaccinated for COVID-19 when the potentially life-saving shot becomes available to first responders in a matter of weeks, according to a new internal survey.
About 55 percent of 2,053 smoke-eaters polled in the last three days by their union, the Uniformed Firefighters Association, answered “No” when asked, “Will you get the COVID-19 Vaccine from Pfizer when the Department makes it available?” UFA President Andy Ansbro told The Post. The responses account for about 25 percent of the UFA’s 8,200 active members.
The stunning anti-vax response follows an August survey of MTA workers that showed only 30 percent of 645 respondents were definitely willing to be vaccinated. Thirty-eight percent were unsure and 32 percent said they would not take the vaccine

1969 was a great year for music, no doubt it.
Here's one of my favorites from that summer.

But it's not because of what you think it is.
Cop cars have nothing to do with this.
Fort Lauderdale, one of Florida’s biggest cities, has been declared the most unsafe in America according to a new survey from WalletHub (whoever the fuck they are - as if they're experts of some kind).
The credit and consumer reports website said the preponderance of negative weather events plus rising COVID-19 cases were responsible for the city’s poor ranking, not crime or a dangerous living environment. What a buncha pussies.
“Aside from the types of hazards that can cause bodily injury or other physical harm, taking out an unaffordable second mortgage, forgoing health insurance or even visiting unsecured websites are also ways people run into danger,” said WalletHub. “Some cities are simply better at protecting their residents from harm.” What the fuck is happening to this country? The pussification of America marches ever onward.
Please ferfucksake.

Must be a really slow news day.

Here's my theory - see if you don't agree. These protesters are all mostly young, probably mostly unemployed (or unemployable more likely). This shit is allowed to happen because the cops have been told by their liberal civic leaders to stand down, so the shit rages on, exacerbated by these inane, never-ending lockdowns and restrictions. If the cops were allowed to do their jobs - and these addle-brained protesters actually had jobs - this shit wouldn't be happening. At least not as often and as destructive. Throw these fuckin' scumbags in jail fer a few months - let 'em take it u the ass a few times. That may turn 'em around. Juss' sayin'.

If you - or anyone you know - suffers from Gout the same as I do, you really need to know about this supplement.
Black Cherry Concentrate does one thing - and one thing only.
It breaks down Uric Acid in your system
It does nothing else. It doesn't interfere with anything, it has no side effects or contra-indications with other drugs or supplements that I know of. It does just one thing. It knocks down the severity and frequency of gout flareups. I haven't had one in probably five or so years taking just two of these a day. It's a fucking god-send. Believe me.

Dr. Fauci (we like to call him Mr. Goodnews) - the eminent mad genius from NHS - says the US will face 'surge upon surge' of COVID cases after the Holidays as 2,445 die, hospitalizations remain above 101K and the total death toll soars past 280K - with FDA not due to meet on vaccine approval until Thursday.

The French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941), who was a bit of a celebrity in his time, came up with an idea that can help us understand why time has felt so strange in the year of the pandemic: la durée.
Bergson argued that time has two faces. The first face of time is "objective time”: the time of watches, calendars, and train timetables. The second, la durée (“duration”), is “lived time”, the time of our inner subjective experience. This is time felt, lived, and acted.

Come on now! Abba clearly has better breastworks than GFR.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered why GFR aren’t inducted yet too. I mean it’s called the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and even Simon & Garfunkel are in. They’re so far removed from rockers that it’s a joke,mayqbe they should induct Barbara Streisand too. Are the Guess Who members? They ought to be, they rolled out at least a half dozen hits
ReplyDeleteListen to the words of American Woman. It's about the Statue of Liberty. Fuck them canooks.
