American Woman - the Guess Who with the incomparable Burton Cummings

Fun fact - this song was composed and first sung right here in Kitchener at a curling rink which is now a hardware store in which there is a plaque commemorating the birth of American Woman

Hope you are able to watch this video - let me know if it's not available ...

Here's a heads up to a great podcast from Vancouver on Pacific Northwest Radio ... it's called Green Beans, Mushroom Soup and Strawberry Ice Cream and it's hosted by Marc Gladstone, current keyboardist for PRiSM (soon to be back in the studio to record some new music!!!) and cousin to the orginal PRiSM keyboardist, John Hall.

It's a lot of fun, great commentary and music and this episode focuses on new music from some artists you may know and some you may not know but it's all good!

Not a huge GNR fan but I do like listening to many of their songs, none more so than this one which came out around 1987, Sweet Child O' Mine ...

Funnily enough, I was not a big fan of the big rockstar hair of the eighties, with one exception, of course, which was done anyway by the end of 1980.

By the time Bon Jovi came on the scene with Livin' On A Prayer I couldn't stand to even look at Jon, much less listen to his music.

Then, when the Crush album came out around 2000 I rediscovered this band and loved their early stuff, hair and all, too!

And, now, Livin' On A Prayer is my all-time Bon Jovi favourite ...

Thanks Joshua, for getting this party off to a great start!

Welcome, everyone, to the CW Sunday Night Music Festival and Dance Party where we leave the fun of political commentary aside and trade it in for even greater fun with our favourite tunes. Which, of course, may be as political as we wish ...

I'll start my part off with a song from a German band, the Scorpians, that's been stuck in my head today ...

No One Like You!

@crs,

whether earned or not, the wealthiest among us are the only ones left in our society who can afford to pay more than they already do (which also happens to be a smaller percentage of their income than the rest of us, and an exponentially smaller percentage of their wealth).

if you think that's unfair to all those sad and unfortunate heirs and heiresses and their lobbyists, here is the world's saddest song played on the world's smallest violin.

Don, that's not what my 'bummer' was referring to. Ahem.

I was bummed out by the suggestion that we should set the default theme for our CW Sunday Night shindigs to something related to CW's FTP columns when that is precisely what these Sunday Nights are most decidedly NOT about. :)

By: nypoet22

nypoet22 — Sun, 04 Apr 2021 02:48:44 +0000

i also propose that failing any other proposed theme, the default should be something related to the content of CW's FTP column.

Yep. And I sincerely hope that Joe keeps racking up the MIDOWs, yea, verily.

I would've nominated DINO Sen. Manchin for MDDOTW, but I have a feeling that he'll pickup a bunch of them in the days and weeks to come.

The only bone I have to pick is with TP 5. Vax passports will be required if you want to travel to somewhere other than here. It has already started... I also predict that cruise lines (at least in the start up of cruise resumption) will require vaccination as many of the Caribbean destinations will require them, and if EVERYONE is VAX'D then the risk of having to quarantine an entire vessel is reduced and as such risk is also reduced... and they can go to other places (full disclosure, I will never go on a commercial cruise, I did plenty on grey ones with lots of airplanes that never stopped anywhere.) Just sayin'. To the point of my disagreement, if the party of the Grand Ole of Pederast and Panderers wants to argue that such passports are unconstitushy, they can roundly and soundly go futue ipsom; the dems need to pull on the big kids pants and point out that the people arguing that they are being "canceled" have no problem canceling other peoples rights and also have not been full participants in the fight to bring the pandemic to heel. Given all that I have been involved with to make it possible for US to cross the finish line of this pandemic I am a firm believer of a slogan I came up with, "if you want the benefits of #herdcommunity, participate in #herdimmunity". If you can't due to medical reasons that's one thing and it can be worked out, but the sour milk cries of the right demanding that they get to participate in being allowed to roam about without participating should be met with a resounding "futuere!". I look at it kind of like, if it is ok to make it harder to vote, it should be harder to move about if you won't immunize....

Biden will have to move this massive imitative ... [snip] (translation: all the D.C. lobbyists are champing at the bit to get a piece of the pie). i think you meant "initiative" rather than "imitative," but am nonetheless pleased that you're finally beginning to acknowledge the massive potential of pie.

As for legalizing weed, well, it's already legal in my neck of the woods and has been for a long while now, as you know. And, lately, I've been checking the whole scene out - been under some bad influences of late. Ahem. And, then, there's all of your columns, too, you understand. So, there's that. Anyways, I'm discovering that I don't really like smoking it, even though, I hasten to add, I've developed some very fine technique in a relatively short period of time with minimal bad experiences. For me, though, I'm thinking edibles are the way to go ... :-)

Chris, Call it a continuation of Biden's redefinition of the term "bipartisan" to mean: "widespread support from voters across the spectrum" rather than: "what Mitch McConnell's caucus will vote for." Love, love, love this! If Biden keeps at this redefining process, it could have major and positive impacts, over the course of eight years and well beyond, on everything from countering Republican-inspired voter suppression efforts to a general strengthening of American democracy and the prospects for regaining America's global leadership role. In other words, just precisely what I had always expected from a long hoped for Biden presidency. :)
