Septembers past, back to school and a great new song by The Rolling Stones!
A few days ago, I was driving around and heard "Dandelion" by The Rolling Stones.
It was one of my favorite songs from those "school days" when we collected 45s and kept an eye on the cute girl having lunch in the cafeteria. (There were lots of cute girls around!)
It seems like only yesterday but it was a lot of years ago.
Click here for the song. I always loved the ending of the song, specially Charlie Watts' drums.
"Prince or pauper, beggar man or thing
Play the game with ev'ry flow'r you bring
Dandelion don't tell no lies Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries Blow away dandelion
One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock chimes
Dandelions don't care about the time
Dandelion don't tell no lies Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion
Tho' you're older now its just the same
You can play this dandelion game
When you're finished with your childlike prayers
Well, you know you should wear it
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailors lives
Rich man, poor man, beautiful, daughters wives
Dandelion don't tell no lies Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion
Little girls, and boys come out to play
Bring your dandelions to blow away
Dandelion don't tell no lies Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion....."

Talarico's latest video plus the Venezuela oil deal
Talarico's latest video plus the Venezuela oil deal. We remember a young George Bush in 1944 and Japan surrenders 1945.
Talarico goes Mamdani
Maybe Mr. Talarico should take his act to the West Coast and run there.

We remember Billy Preston (1946-2006)
William Everett “Billy” Preston was born in Houston, Texas, on this day in 1946 and died in 2006.
He met The Beatles in Germany before the band was famous. Preston reconnected with them and played keyboards on “Get back” and the B-side of “Don’t let me down”. Later, he had a string of solo hits and also played with The Rolling Stones.
Preston was a fabulous organist. One of my favorite songs was “Outaspace”.

1944: Young George H W Bush and World War II service
We remember today a very young George Bush in 1944.
The story is that the future President’s plane was shot down leaving him floating in the shark infected waters for hours. He was eventually found by a US submarine in the area.
The young Navy pilot flew 58 combat missions, won 3 Air Medals as well as a Presidential Unit Citation.
Great story!
September 2, 1945 and the formal end of World War II
On September 2, 1945, Japan formally surrendered. And there was a lot of kissing and celebrating all over!
There were many great songs recorded in the 1940's, specially about the soldier at war and the girl back home.
In 1945, Kitty Kalen and Harry James recorded one of the great tunes of that era. It was titled "It's been a long long time" and you can now get it on a digital version:

"Never felt that you would be standing so close near to met there's so much I feel that I should say but words can wait until some other day
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice, then kiss me once again,It's been a long, long time!
Haven't felt like this my dear, since I can't remember when,It's been a long, long time!
You'll never know how may dreams I dreamed about you,or just how empty they all seemed without you
So, kiss me once, then kiss me twice,then kiss me once again,It's been a long, long time!"

DSA and blue cities. Talarico and higher taxes. Poland 1939.
DSA and blue cities. Talarico and higher taxes. Poland 1939.....
Your next blue city DSA mayor?
Yes, if you live in a blue city, then get ready for one of these types becoming your mayor. There is no general election to check them, and the city council is probably just as crazy, such as in Minneapolis or Seattle.
