I know we can make it
I know, darn well we can work it out
Oh, yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can, can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes, we can, can
I know we can make it work
I know that we can make it if we try
Oh, yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can great-gosh almighty

And we gotta take care of all the children
The little children of the world
Cause they're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls
We got to make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And we gotta help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give

Pointer Sisters #AT40

Nows the time for all good men
To get together with oneanother
We got to iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find peace within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Remember you all had mothers

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene admitted the GOP could end the shutdown anytime they wanted, they control all the branches of government. Broken clock’s right twice a day.

Sing it, Sly! #AT40

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see
But I am about to go
And then you'll know
For me to stay here, I got to be me

Love this one. #AT40 \

People are talkin', trying to pull us apart
Stickin' pins and needles in both of our hearts
Our love is together, don't care about no stormy weather

I believe in you
(I believe in you. Do you, do you)
You believe in me, too
(Do you believe in me, too?)

Sing it, B.B.! #AT40

Oh, oh, to know you is to love you
Is to see you being free as the wind
'Cause the power of your loving
Is too strong to hold within
To know you is to love you

A bit misleading? C'mon now, Craig.

He's just here to piss on the parade. I blocked him.

Had to block Alan, he was too angry and harshing the 70s mellow. 😁☮️

Ok, bye angry man. It's time for you to piss on someone else's parade. I heard Twitter embraces that kind of thing. Enjoy. 😉
