[As
you may or may not know, i live in Canada, and for some reason KSHE
doesn't stream their audio to here; i have to connect via a VPN, to
spoof a non-Canadian address. This week, according to
https://whatismyipaddress.com/
i was listening from Cheney, Kansas. Yes, back there again!
Quotation
Of The Week ~ J.R.R. Tolkein: The world is indeed full of peril, and
in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is
fair, and though now in all lands love is mingled with grief, it
grows perhaps the greater.
Looking
for work? Universal Galvanizing in Wright City, Missouri, is hiring.

This is a public service announcement. Personally i wouldn't go
anywhere near the States these days. The country i love is imploding,
the streets are on fire, the people are furious, capitalism is
failing, hate is everywhere. Their handling of the pandemic has been
atrocious and their president is merrily tossing matches onto the
TNT. But then, i wasn't thinking of applying.
It
was a pretty dodgy start to this morning's instalment. I mean, Peter
Cetera? Really? He hasn't done much of interest since the
mid-seventies. (Today's song was from 1981.) All was forgiven,
though, with the second number – not only a favourite James Taylor
song, but also one of my all-time favourite songs, period. After
that, oh, so many wonderful memories. I actually prefer The Move's
version of “Do Ya” to ELO's; the Joe Vitale song is one of the
few things i've ever bought from iTunes (he was the drummer in the
Eagles' touring band for a while). And if anyone can tell me of
another commercial FM station anywhere in the world that would play a
twenty-two minute song by Yes, i would love to hear about it.
Further,
there was nothing annoying, so this week's episode definitely gets an
“A.”
America gets an "F."
