Songs . . .

(from I Am Brian Wilson, a memoir with Ben Greenman)
". . . What is a song, exactly? It's something that starts as an idea and becomes more than that. It becomes physical and emotional and spiritual. It comes out into the world. It can soothe you when you're feeling at your worst. It can make you happy when you're sad . . . But if you spend your lie trying to find songs, you realize pretty quickly that you're not the first. People have been doing that as long as there have been people. And if there are periods in your life when you stop doing it - because something distracts you or makes you weak - you realize how important it is to jump right back into the game . . . "

Clubs . . .

"I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member"
-Julius Henry Marx

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/far-right-group-takes-victory-lap-social-media-after-violence-n920506)
". . . Proud Boys . . . a “fraternal organization” for young men . . . As part of their initiation, members must declare they are a “Western chauvinist who refuses to apologize for creating the modern world,” and also abstain from masturbation. To complete the initiation, members must also get a Proud Boys tattoo, and undergo a beating by fellow members while naming five breakfast cereals, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has also designated them as a hate group. . ."

Your . . .

. . . 'public servants' at work . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/republicans-tried-kill-obamacare-now-they-re-embracing-its-most-n921561)
". . . GOP Senate candidate Josh Hawley in Missouri: “We've got two perfect little boys. Earlier this year, we learned that our oldest has a rare chronic disease. Pre-existing condition – we know what that means,” he says to camera in a TV ad. “I support forcing insurance companies to cover ALL pre-existing conditions. And Claire McCaskill knows it. You deserve a senator who’s driven to fix this mess – not one just trying to hang on to her office.” . . . But as attorney general of Missouri, Hawley signed on to a conservative lawsuit in February 2018 arguing that Obamacare – and everything in it, including protections for pre-existing conditions – is unconstitutional. “Once the heart of the ACA—the individual mandate—is declared unconstitutional, the remainder of the ACA must also fall,” the lawsuit states. . .

Evil . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/amid-jokes-al-smith-dinner-nikki-haley-says-our-opponents-n921916)
". . . "In our toxic political environment, I've heard some people in both parties describe their opponents as enemies or evil," (Outgoing United Nations ambassador Nikki) Haley said. "In America, our political opponents are not evil." . . . "In South Sudan, where rape is routinely used as a weapon of war — that is evil. In Syria, where the dictator uses chemical weapons to murder innocent children — that is evil,” she said. “In North Korea, where American student Otto Warmbier was tortured to death — that was evil. . ."

Facts (again). . .

(from https://www.boldprogressives.org/ronald-reagan-in-1984-social-security-has-nothing-to-do-with-the-deficit/)
". . . Social Security, let’s lay it to rest once in for all…Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit. Social Security is totally funded by the payroll tax levied on employer and employee. If you reduce the outgo of Social Security, that money would not go into the general fund to reduce the deficit. It would go into the Social Security trust fund. So Social Security has nothing to do with balancing the budget or erasing or lowering the deficit. . . . "

Power . . .

. . . is grossly misinterpreted by many in relation its use regarding repression, deception or even selfishness. True power is a much more positive concept. It brings to my mind things such as consoling in the event of a death or assisting victims of a natural disaster. Walking along the calm ocean recently reminded me again of power; a power over which no one exerts any control.

Power also brought to mind this song. (I disregard its reference to 'he' - it's a personal thing)

Satisfied? . . .

I can actually get some
Satisfaction
'Cause I try
But I'm smart
And prudent
Common sense
I can get some
Satisfaction
When I'm drivin' in my car
And the mane comes on the radio
Tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
I just turn him off
I can get some
Satisfaction

When I'm watchin' my TV
Which very rare for me
'Cause I'm not a Rolling Stone
I there's so much music still to be
And my shirt are not all white
But I like the colors, they still suit me
And I like to smoke but I know
That it's really not so good, you see
But I get lots
of Satisfaction
I still get that
Special girl's reaction
I 'm retired
I got satisfaction
blah, blah, blah. . .
