One song that should be on the list is “Ode to Billie Joe” by Bobbie Gentry.

Sheez, every day is Festival of Sleep for me. If I have a lousy night's sleep, I end up napping a couple times a day, upwards of two hours, and the best is when I can get some crazy REM stuff going, cuz when I finally become sentient, WOW do ALL THE THINGS get done! Life in the non-working world sure can get odd.

Question: how is F34 different from a mob boss?

Answer: he isn't.

Robyn, you'd probably love the Red Clay Ramblers' song "Run Sister Run" from their soundtrack to Sam Shepard's play, A Lie of the Mind. It's a murder ballad in which the woman has full agency for once.

Hi, Robyn. The image of Lydia, Cursive and Wiglet is ideal for today not only because of interspecies harmony, but also because all three are deceased.

The Ladies shown were two of my three first chickens, ten years ago, and Miss Lydia Louise I adopted when she was fourteen, but I still had several lovely years with her. She napped sweetly with the Ladies all the time.

Doc Watson’s Little Omie Wise always breaks my heart. I hope the link works.

Nice selections. Nimrod Workman is a name to conjure with. Christy Moore’s phrasing on this shivers me.

True story. On the application for the first job I ever had they asked what my Hobby was. I wrote "Sleep". Got the job all the same.

Also likely relevant, The Decemberists' The Hazards of Love....

I had a good sleep day a few days ago.; dreamt I was out and about wearing a t-shirt that said ‘Fuck Trump.’

now THIS is a holiday I can get behind. festival of sleep, that is. while i'm in mourning I don't want to drape any jewelry on. and it was just the other day I was trying to explain the popularity of death song from the 1920's to a millennial. I think that they thought I was just some crazy old coot.

Soooooo....Our President can't go near Switzerland? Or Denmark or Sweden?

After Monday? Like this is a war crime. And even more...its an American crime (he didn't even follow OUR laws)

Are we letting a bunch of idiotic Bible thumper from the south and mid west dick-tate world policy? Because they have rifles and rebel flags on their MAGA baseball caps?

Nope, nope, nope....baconz won't allow it.

Im sick of being embarrassed from these snowflake incels.

.....sorry...I had to vent...

Woooh.

I needed to get that out of my system

The Mary Hamilton song is historically incorrect. Henri II of France did have an illegitimate child by one of Mary, Queen of Scots entourage, but it was by her governess Janet, Lady Fleming. Their son, Henri de Valois-Angoulême, grew up honoured in the French court.

Rep. Darrell Issa: "I'm sure President Trump having learned the lesson of Afghanistan and Iraq has no intention to tell them how to run their country. He has simply liberated them from a strongman."

Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks says we won't have "troops on the ground" in Venezuela as a Fox News chyron says: "TRUMP: 'WE'RE NOT AFRAID OF BOOTS ON THE GROUND.'"

Its hard to see how you can "run a country" without some boots on the ground.
