It's hang-on-to-Toto windy right now in Venice, CA. I'm from Michigan, but you get so used to mild CA weather all the time that strong wind seems like the thing that happens just before the 4 horsemen gallop down the block. (And I don't mean police officers on Seabiscuit.)

Here's a fun story, but we can all agree it was perhaps the shittiest song of my generation.

Shitty, but it's got serious ear-worm chops.

• This is one of those generational amazements, like finding out who Deep Throat was. (About which I was wrong.)

• They don't make 'em like that anymore.
• Sure, the guy's been arrested now, but at least he took a stand.

Like I said, these were just children.

• This is a stunning effect.
• But then so is this.

These rioters were just not bright: Consider this one's career choice.

This is the exact moment when a boss realizes that it wasn't a good idea to let the intern girlfriend run the company to ground.

@Crid,
The LGBT ones I am aware of that have been censored are either ex-muslims, LGBT individuals who aren't screeching libtards like George Takei, and Chinese --in China.

"Widdoutda video you'd nevahoidovem."
Wait, are you telling me that Don Was of Was/Not Was was not a hyoooge superstar and his video dance hit Do The Dinosaur was just utter MTV garbage by a guy no one had ever heard of before but they were desperate for filler?
No kiddin'.

Ah. "WALK" The Dinosaur. Because no one can Do a dinosaur. Well, not more than once, anyway.
Gog_Magog_Carpet_Reclaimers at January 9, 2021 7:51 PM
The name Was/Not Was was familiar but it's the first hearing for the tune.
The girls are cute.
In 1987 I was more of a Level 42 guy. Unless it's Level 41 or Level 43.
It was a long time ago, Gog. That was before electricity.
Crid at January 9, 2021 8:50 PM
Every time Crid mentions a-ha, I get an ear worm of "Take Me On."
Now, Gog, thanks to you, I don't have that ear worm anymore. I now have a "Walk the Dinosaur" ear worm. I don't know whether to thank you or curse you.

Ear worms are nasty little buggers. I've had no luck getting rid of them with jazz.
Judas Priest's "Painkiller", though - that kills about anything. It's an older remedy but still viable.
