Battle of the bands...dog and cat version.
Stay Cats vs. 3 Dog Night?
Actually, I think there are more "bird" bands...
@lovendures I don’t get it but I like where you’re going with this . ?
@deborah-carey I love that story. And I see our story just like that one.
@lovendures I concur... The Eagles, The Yardbirds, The Black Crowes, Counting Crows ..and..can't forget.. The Fabulous Thunderbirds!!! From Steppenwolf to Pussy Cat Dolls ..I still think the bird bands outnumber them.

and don't forget that other "bird" band- The Byrds! Their song Turn! Turn! Turn! has 3000 year old lyrics, written by King Solomon, (maybe).
@unk-p *head smack*. Of course!!! Who could forget that one!!! I loved it! To everything turn, turn, turn.. there is a season..turn, turn, turn.... Hey! That is a great song for this times too! We are in a Season of Change for sure.
today my Mom turned me on to this choir group called Young@Heart. They were featured on one of her Sunday shows. And now, everything i had planned to do today will just have to wait until i listen to their entire archive. Everyone in this group is 75, or older. Here is their version of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, combined w Robert Browning's Pied Piper of Hamlin, and a young guest reinterpreting Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues, and The Hurricane:
Not sure exactly what the song is really about, but this section seems particularly relevant today-
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a leading role in a cage?
here is another one by the Young@Heart choir- Fix You, by Coldplay. The lead, named Fred, was planning to do this song with his friend Bob, as a duet. But Bob died a week before this performance, so Fred did it as a tribute to him. So beautiful. https://youtu.be/G-e8LGMPTtE
Hi guys, there is so much gloom and doom at the moment with Afghanistan, Delta etc I thought this may be a bit of light relief.
Regards to all
@matildagirl Interesting that they didn't comment on the fact that they made a urinal out of Donald Trump's face. That would make quite a splash (no pun intended) if they had this in Las Vegas. LOL
Didn't want to spoil the surprise. LOL
It was also the only reason I put the article on the site
I know this is crazy but as I look at the taliban on TV all I can think of is that I bet they have the most horrible B.O. And I bet they don’t brush their teeth either. I don’t know why I even thought of it but I did. They are so creepy and scary (and probably smelly.)
I am 85% of my way finished with my first day back in the office. It was so busy triaging emails, attending a meeting with the department of ed, pretending to actually listen to all the mandatory videos like Bloodborne Pathogens we have to watch every year that I feel like it went really well. Tomorrow is the first day with the new boss (she was at the other district she is director for) so that’ll tell me quickly if the good mood I’m feeling on this first day sticks or flees. A little nervous about that but ready to meet the challenge head on.
Here’s a funny for you. We have locking drawers and cabinets in our offices but no one ever locks them. Well - over the summer someone locked all of the ones in the office I share and while I have keys to all of them, my hanging cabinet key will not turn. This is mildly amusing but perhaps the most amusing part is that’s where I put my cup of pens, and 3/4 of the stuff I need to be productive when not using a computer (which is most of the time but the start of a year involves filling out a lot of forms by hand!). Had to put my first maintenance request form in in 11 years at this building!
@jeanne-mayell I taught 5 years in a juvenile prison and a way to cope would be to find something absurd to laugh at or otherwise you would cry. We also made up crazy nick names for guards and administrators we didn’t like. I guess the BO was my old habit of finding the absurd in a scary, sad situation.
@lenor well, i have baggy clothes and a long beard, but i don't think i smell like Taliban. I probably smell more like a combination of Olde Patchouli and freshly-mown Catnip.
And I bet you’re not scary or mean either. The looks on the faces of the taliban scares me. They look mean, and have no respect for others who don’t believe what they believe.
Extremists all look mean. Look at our right wing. Those folks always look angry and unhappy. Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Dick Cheney, Bill Barr, on and on. They all look miserable and like they want to make others miserable too.
I think all over the world extremists share common characteristics. They hate fun, sex, revealing clothing, women. Dancing seems to be an issue too.
Any therapists out there? I'd be interested to know what you think.
