Big Bad Bottom - Edgar Winter

2B or not 2B

I always wait, because the cutting edge is indeed the bleeding edge.

When most new products are released, they are still almost beta tests. I'll wait until (1) either my present computer dies or (2) MS quits supporting Win 10. That is, unless there emerges some reason that will improve my workflow by upgrading. At this time, most OS upgrades are not that much better than the previous edition.

Lyrics: "Heaven, I'm In Heaven ... "

I know this song is usually attributed to Fred Astaire, but I like the way Buddy did it better. Mr. Greco accompanied himself well on the piano.

Whatcha' talkin' 'bout Willis?  MS does it now.  Right-click on the taskbar then click on Taskbar Settings.

I've been doin' it since '95

But the article said Win 11 won't do that.

“La Vie en Rose” - Edith Piaf

It's historic (but not really my taste)

"I'll Be Bach"

(the Terminator)

I like my taskbar at the top of the screen, and I like it to disappear until I move the cursor up there.

I like to see as many measures in Band-in-a-Box as I can when making an aftermarket fake e-disk.

I've done that since at least Win95. It keeps it out of the way until I need it.

Hopefully MS will re-instate that function.

Excellent Idea Bob !  After hearing you say that I removed my inspirational  Einstein  bust of my fire place and I asked my self how come I didn't think of that ?

If you really want to be immature, put a Niki Minaj or Demi Rose bust up there. The face isn't important, just the bust.

Dream On - Postmodern Jukebox ft. Morgan James

Young is 5 years younger than me.

Old is 15 years older than me.

I Can't Be Satisfied - Muddy Waters

(just a bit of history here)

The first 58 seconds of this one is IMO spectacular. The rest is well done but rather pedestrian. BTW, Catarina is a

OT: She is a decent guitarist too

What I find ironic about it all is, the stones come from the place that sold them so who the hell are they to be looking down their noses at anyone. And why focus on what happened here well over 150 years ago? It happened to every race at one time or another and is still going on today. Why don't the people in power do something about that? A simple drone strike or two would end it in about 30 minutes. Maybe something a little larger than a drone perhaps. 

The only reason anyone talks about this now is because the U.S. is the richest and best place to live. And despite what some want the world to believe we're still the land of opportunity and being free. Just take a look at our southern border. Thousands a day literally dying to get in.

People want a slice of the pie without working for it now is what the real problem. We have a term for it that I'll get banned for so I'll refrain. All I'll say before this gets deleted is, most myth's/legends/stereotypes are based on some form of truth and peoples actions, not their appearance or accent.

And ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

I also find it funny that Africans sold other Africans to the English who brought them to the Americas to work as slaves.

Nobody ever blames the Africans for that, even though they are just as guilty. The Africans had been enslaving other Africans for eons, and found selling their slaves or their slave fodder (other tribes) to be as profitable as the English and Portuguese did.

It's a dark time in history, and there are plenty of dark times in history.

Rather than erase history, it's too bad we don't have the desire to learn from it.

And I've been to a lot of countries, currently the US is among one of the best countries to live in, but I wouldn't say THE best. There are pros and cons to a few top countries like Spain, France, Australia and a few others.

I think China is now richer than the USA, but I DEFINITELY would not want to live there. I've been to China and found the people to be very nice, but the government IMO is much, much worse than ours (and ours is getting worse all the time).

If we wanted to put an end of the people coming across the border, it would be easy. Make a law that if you find a business hiring an undocumented worker, unless that worker has bullet-proof forged papers, simply close the business - forever.  And inspect the businesses with unannounced 'raids'.

But the big corporations and their owners (who are the plutocracy in the US) actually WANT illegals to come across the border. Why? Cheap labor (even Trump who wanted the wall hires illegals at Mar-a-Lago and his hotels).

All the BS you hear on the news is just lip service to get you to think they don't want them here to steal your job at a lower pay. The plutocracy will have the government turn some immigrants back because they don't want too many to cross the border. It's supply and demand.

It's easy to figure this out, just follow the money.

And those who watch FOX and to the right or MSNBC or to the left are being manipulated by the time proven methods of fear and anger. They are just falling into the trap. A house divided cannot stand, and as long as we keep fighting instead of compromising, we can't fix the problem. And the plutocrats are laughing all the way to the bank as they exploit us.

So if the Stones don't want to play Brown Sugar because they are concerned about negative feedback, it's their choice. From a musical standpoint I think it's one of their better songs, but it's their show. I hope they don't drop Sympathy For The Devil.

But I understand, years ago we had requests for "Strokin'" and "Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw", but we play at places where there are families present, we declined to learn either one.

"This could be the last time" because Jagger and Richards are the only two original members still in the band. When one of those gets too unhealthy to tour, it'll be over.

Damn, I'm getting old.
