Listening: An assortment of original pressing 45s on an antique RCA Victor record player - see my blog of Summer, 2007 concerning this piece of antiquity that I paid $85.00 for and ended up soaking another almost$175.00 into before it actually worked - glad I did, though. It's turned out to be quite the conversation piece. At least I like to talk about it because no one else has seen it or cares that I have it. Records slapping onto the turntable in the last few minutes:
"All of My Life," by Lesley Gore
"All In the Game," by Tommy Edwards
"I'm Not Afraid," by Ricky Nelson
"Twilight Time" by the Platters
I'm not writing about anything in particular todayso maybe this is the time to have a little go at the political scene.
President Bush is giving the State of Union Address this evening ("State of the Legacy," says Google); I'm wondering what he's going to have to say. According to Good Morning America the economny is heavy on his mind, followed quickly by Iraq. What else he's going to say is up for grabs, but I know it's going to be couched in terms that make him sound much better than he probably is. That's the state of politics, however. Tell them what you think they'll believe, what they want to hear and hit as more or less close to the truth as you can. Leave the rest for them to ponder.
"Alley Cat," by Bent Fabric just dropped onto the stack. Remember that song? No, of course you don't. . . .
