Tighten Up: Prodigal Remix At Home

REM with a Sense of Humor and Archie Bell and the Drells. For the lo-budge enthusiast such as myself, open these in two tabs, and start Archie Bell and the Drells at 0:34 into REM. Mildly psychotropic for those sensitive.

An Observation from John Lennon

Maybe it's because I'm reaching the age when John Lennon recorded "Nobody Told Me" just before he was shot, or maybe it's just because at this age we are more relaxed about pointing out the general ambiance of pointless bullshit that we're all engaged in, but either way I've been fixated on the song. With respect to food, he nails a couple of nice cliches in juxtaposition:

There's always something cookin'

But nothin's in the pot

They're starvin' back in China

So finish what you've got

 Strange days indeed, and we're still in them.
