In the subpoena of the four kingpins by the Jan.6th committee, it is my understanding that if they fail to appear, then the committee may charge them with Contempt of Congress. However, the 1/6committee must then send the Contempt charge to the House and Senate for approval. What are the chances these criminals will actually be charged and not allowed to just ignore the 1/6 committee? I think they are slim with the repugs voting to not charge them and letting them all go.
That particular rendition of You Never Walk Alone, from the musical Carousel, is from Josh Groban's Stages CD and I think it is the best version, but then I am biased. I met him when he was 19, in Pasadena, at the taping of his first PBS special and then again in 2005 before his concert in Phoenix. I was with a friend of mine and 15 of her students (ages 6-15) and we were blessed with an hour with him before the concert. He played the Hokey-Pokey with the young ones, and made sure everyone got an autograph even if it was on a scrap of paper they brought to him, and he accepted the children's gifts—and mine. I gave him a box of Blessings, and he seemed to like it. He gets so many gifts I don't claim to believe he kept mine, but I watched him pour through the little phrases in the box I created for him and he seemed enchanted with them. Interestingly, I had a dream about him last night and was wondering why—other than I always wake up from a dream with him in it feeling I have been in his presence and wake with joy and comfort and trust. Perhaps being connected to this forum even though I can't get here very often, was the impetus. That version of the song is on a subliminal tape I play every night along with my own affirmations and some chanting. That particular song is FILLED with Spirit. FILLED. He always sings beautifully, but there are certain songs on certain CDs that have Spirit woven in-out-and through the vibration and tonal sound. When I was at that PBS concert 20 years ago I met a woman who had had Lupus. She was given his debut CD. She played it every day and when she went back to her doctor he asked her what she had been doing because her blood work or whatever tests they do for Lupus showed NO MORE LUPUS. I have been told by Spirit (and having been embraced in a marvelous full hug in 2005, I KNOW intrinsically) that he is a Master Healer who deliberately came in to heal through music....and humor. He even heard my delighted thought "this is Wonder Full" because he whispered into my ear, "It is wonder full for me too."
The man also has a wicked sense of whimsy and humor AND understands depression and pain. I love all his CDs, but my favorites are his debut album, his Christmas CD which was the highest selling CD I think 2008 even tho it only dropped in October of the year. I nearly wore out my CD of Stages, but then I was brought up on musicals, my Mom loved them. Every album has at least one song that is filled with the power of Spirit aiding and enhancing the already present and powerful healing that his tonal quality does all by itself. Anyway, use the song as a meditation, it is filled with the power of Love, it shines with great Light, and Spirit is totally singing along with—and through—him. He was a delightful marvelous young man when I met him and it seems to me he has grown into his power and uses it with joy and grace, and most of all, with healing and understanding.

@herukane Oh, PS. The song all by itself is of course super powerful, if I didn't indicate that, my bad because the lyrics and the music are in and of themselves magnificent and true. We never walk alone. Ever. ❤️ Karrie/Tesseract
Your story of meeting him, that is simply wonderful. I was fortunate to hear him sing at the Hollywood Bowl with the LA Phil one summer a few years back. He also sang with children on stage. A most amazing night.
I believe you are spot on. Josh Groban is indeed a healer. I never thought about it before, but his music, his voice, his connection to my spirit is so strong. In fact, you made me go back and play my favorite song of his, You are Loved ( Don't Give Up).
I can't tell you how many times I would play that song in the car. I would the whole album all the time, but that song, it became a part of me. I just watched his music video again. 11 years later and it connects with me just like the first time.
If you haven't heard the song, LISTEN TO IT!

I am not sure if this is the right place to put this information but I remember the group discussing how our society will become more matriarchal in the future. I found it interesting that fewer men are now enrolling in college. According to the articles and news reports, men are going into the tech and mechanic trades since many can make lucrative salaries in many of the hands on trades. Women now comprise 60% of the college students. If this trend continues, I see our future heading to a better place. Interesting though that some articles are detailing how this is a very bad trend for the future, and most of those concerned about this are men! (But when women were not allowed in colleges, it was okay!!!)

We may need to revoke my “Hall of Fame Poster” status given that I just spent a whirlwind 24 hours at my moms to pick up our half a cow (her yearly Christmas present to my sister and I) and I lost it on them about being “those kind of republicans” who don’t see 1/6 for what it was, and still think Trump won the election because…Fox News. Oh am I still fuming from that one interaction, along with their “it’s the Left who keep trying to rewrite history” nonsense. I stopped myself before invoking the difference between Republican Jesus and the real one because my sister is Uber religious and she probably would have had a stroke. I’ll calm myself down by tomorrow but goodness I just can’t even with these people anymore, even if they are my own sister and mother. ??
I keep spitting back nasty comebacks to an empty house right now while I think about it.
