President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

How does he view his coming trial?.

 

BTE-

Rhapsodizing about Tennessee Volunteer football seems akin to the critical review of the Journey corpus that went on here 11/7/20. We all love something that is way gone.

-"Did it suck?"
-"No it did not suck."
-"It felt great at the time."

 

Biden’s presidency seems to be following Harry Truman’s in terms of popularity. Here’s to hoping his 1947 is coming soon.

 

From the song:
"My mind is clearer now
At last, all too well
I can see where we all soon will be
If you strip away
The myth from the man
You will see where we all soon will be."

And not to threadjack, but every once in a while I'll fire up the "Jesus Christ Superstar" soundtrack on YouTube and it really takes me back. My mom had that on vinyl (the soundtrack actually came out before the stage show and movie), and elementary-school-aged me used to rock out to it in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

 

If you listen to "Heaven on their Minds" through a 1/6 lens, it's quite ... something.

I love JCS. A few years ago there was a bar performance of it in this area. Called a JCS Pageant and Sing-a-Long. I got to perform King Herod's Song. ... And your vinyl reference reminded me of the debate among the group of what they preferred, the pre-show soundtrack or the movie soundtrack.

 

Lin Wood Releases Audio of Michael Flynn Calling QAnon a CIA Disinformation Plot: It’s ‘Total Nonsense’

Not sure how this will be digested by the nutso right - do they have to choose between Qanon and Flynn? Is Flynn now an MINO (MAGA in Name Only?) Considering the lengths people have gone to show their Q loyalty - this could be something big.

 

Same for me, a little bit later. That's how I knew who Murray Head was.

 

Lin Wood could be the lynch pin (linchpin? What's AP style?) that could pull this whole thing apart.

 

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Mike Flynn might know a little too much for some folks’ comfort. (Not talking about Americans necessarily either.)

Same for Lin Wood and his grenade tossing of the past couple days.

 

"So you are the Christ, yes, the great Jesus Christ. Prove to me that you're no fool, walk across my swimming pool ..."

The original album is still the gold standard. My parents took my brother and me to see the live stage production in San Francisco around 1975 and it was very good, but I still remember with fondness a local church youth group lip-synching to the album soon after it came out and their performances -- along with the church setting -- were so profoundly moving. They made a vinyl record performance seem to be a living and breathing story.

It's like reading a book and picturing the characters in a certain way, then being almost disappointed when the movie doesn't reach your expectations. The 1970s movie and the recent TV remake just don't capture the same emotional tension as the original JSC.

As I've gotten older, "Pilate's Dream" becomes more haunting to me. Just an amazing song and vocal performance.

And I really don't like anything else Andrew Lloyd Webber has done since.

 

I find it impossible to believe that Zero Mostel's Herod could be improved upon.
