Republican Music
In case you missed it, the Associated Press has written about songs played at the Republican National Convention, as follows:
o Here Comes the Sun a George Harrison song .. Played during the introduction of Mr. Trump's daughter, Ivanka.. was not authorized and was "offensive..."
o All Right Now a Paul Rodgers song.. Played at the climax of Trump's speech.. also not authorized.
o We are the Champions by Brian May and the band Queen.. Played during a Trump convention appearance.. also not authorized.
o Nessun Dorma as sung by Luciano Pavarotti Played by the Trump folks ... The Pavarotti family made a statement that the "values of brotherhood and solidarity" That Pavarotti expressed in his career "are incompatible with the world vision proposed" by Trump. :
I wonder if those very young folks on America's Got Talent, Britain's Got Talent, and American Idol obtained permission to sing Nessun Dorma? Puccini has been dead for quite some time now... wouldn't everything written by him be in the Public Domain by now? When a kid sings this aria well, it's a winner. Of course, the greatest rendition of the aria was by Luciano. What a voice!
How about some Senior Citizen quotes?
Anon: "You know you're going through menopause when all of your clothes are sweat clothes."
Ava Gardner: "Whatever wrinkles I got, I enjoyed getting them."
George Carlin: "I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then it dawned on me...they're cramming for their final exam."
San Banducci: "Old age comes at a bad time."
Henny Youngman: "A doctor has a stethoscope up to a man's chest. The man asks, "Doc, how do I stand?" The doctor says, "That's what puzzles me!"
Anon: "Have you seen the new social media site for seniors? It's called Faceliftbook.
Oliver Wendell Holmes SR: "the young ma n knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions."
Enough!
