1972 Day 11
City of New Orleans
A train ride turns into a picturesque journey through mid west Guthrie voices a fading way of life Midwest rolls by in sepia tones fields freight yards forgotten towns a journey it’s a memory in motion

How does Skip Bayless keep his job?

Are we playing rugby?
Or are we playing football?
This is a rugby play
Not a football play

Vampire

This isn’t a costume It’s a mood
Dark Obsessive
“If I was your vampire”
Marilyn Manson didn’t write a Halloween song He wrote a love letter to the night And it bites

1972 Day 10

It’s not loud It’s not flashy
It’s the kind of song that sits with you in silence
Song Sung Blue
for the quiet moments
Neil Diamond didn’t try to fix the sadness he just sang through it
And somehow that made it easier to bear

I can remember the high school play doing Oliver
I think it was in spring of 1970
It was quite a hit
I was not in it

Beautiful tune, but I never understood the words
Well, most of the times, sometimes they came in crystal clear

In the 1960s the Vietnam protests were young,old, poor,rich every walk of life
Things started changing after 2010, the fear of our forefathers has come The separation of powers in government are now muddy.The separation of church and state is muddy.
Our forefathers trying to keep this from happening

Anticipation

The ache of waiting & thrill of not knowing
Carly Simon captured the heartbeat of uncertainty
the tension before everything changes And sometimes that’s the most powerful part

Just looked on Copilot

A copse is a small group of trees growing close together, often forming a thicket or a small woodland. The term is commonly used to describe a natural or cultivated patch of trees, especially one maintained for periodic cutting or harvesting, such as for firewood or timber.

Pain
Not always understood

Love the Way You Lie Rihanna
Pain isn’t always unwanted
It’s about loving someone who hurts you, and calling that love
And the scariest part
You start to believe the pain is what makes it real

This one is sunshine in sound
I think it was the Fourth of July
Chicago Saturday in the park
It’s about joy connection the kind of day you wish would never end
this song reminded us
Sometimes happiness is just a walk in the park

It's getting late early for Jazz Chisholm and the New York Yankees.

Chisholm looks lost out there at second base
Doesn’t know where to stand, doesn’t know where the runners are
Lost

How many times does FS one going to show that play?

He was safe
He slid in before the base was tagged

Case closed
What could they be talking about?

Monster by Imagine Dragons
it’s about identity vulnerability and the parts of ourselves we try to hide
what makes us feel monstrous

Whether you’re grieving healing just trying to make it through the day Because everyone needs help And sometimes all it takes is someone willing to say
I’ll be your friend

I have listened to this dozens of times

And yet sometimes it is about one play
Why do we keep seeing this happen?

Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon downplays Emari Demercado's goal-line gaffe: "It's never about one play." (But that one play would have given Arizona a 27-6 lead with 12:40 left in the game.)
