Alignment . . .

https://www.pmhinsights.com/stars-aligned-pmhinsights-blog-2/

(from https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ogbl#inbox/FMfcgxwKjfDJFMTHSPnMLJpfLqzfxKMM)
". . . A determined autocrat in the White House poses a grave threat to our democratic institutions and can severely undermine faith in our elections, particularly when backed by partisans in Congress. . . Perhaps only when the stars are optimally aligned — when voters turn out in huge numbers, when the outcome is not close, when state and local officials and the courts adhere to the rule of law, when foreign interference is thwarted, when the media behaves responsibly and when people remain peaceful — can our democracy endure its greatest tests. . . If the Senate flips to Democratic control, Congress will be able to apply the lessons of our democracy’s near-death experience. . .It would enact the For the People Act to combat corruption, strengthen ethics rules and improve voter access as well as the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore the protections of the 1965 legislation. Congress would pass the Protecting Our Democracy Act to constrain the power of future presidents who deem themselves above the law and finally adopt long-stalled legislation to shore up our election infrastructure against adversaries, foreign or domestic. . ."

Rights . . .

https://www.auburnwa.gov/city_hall/public_works/t

ransportation/traffic_signal_information

. . . and money

". . . The news that Bob Dylan, and before him Stevie Nicks, has sold his publishing to his song catalog, has prompted a deluge of conversation on Twitter. . . And thus comes the news from David Crosby, veteran rock star of Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Byrds, that he’s selling his rights, too. . . He wrote: “I am selling mine also …I can’t work …and streaming stole my record money …I have a family and a mortgage and I have to take care of them so it’s my only option ..I’m sure the others feel the same” . . . Crosby, who is always outspoken, says in other tweets on the subject that he’s the same age as Dylan, which is 79, and needs money. . ."

Glorious . . .

https://www.123rf.com/stock-photo/glorious.html?sti=lrilvk64opsz4x8hul|

Jonny came from far across the sea

Looking for some opportunity.
In his land there's almost none.
He's only one of many millions.
No one told him streets were paved with gold
Like they used to in the days of old.
But he heard from some who knew
Of all the things to do,
He could accomplish

Searching for glorious freedom
Here in America.
He can be anything
He wants to be.
With his wealth accumulating,
And he's got every liberty,
Deep in his heart he knows he
Never will be free.

Ravi took a wife they had a child
A year or two before they came stateside.
And he had such big brown eyes,
Too young to realize what he was seeing.
On the surface one would never guess
That this family wasn't quite as blessed
As you might believe they were.
He isn't sure of her
Or where they're heading.

Someone from oh so long ago still remains
Firmly embedded in his soul.
She wasn't of the same persuasion as he.
His friends and family convinced him
That it couldn't be.
Broken hearts take time.
Broken hearts take time to heal.

When he finally felt the strength he'd need
To live the kind of life he'd like to lead.
As the heartache dulled with time,
Made up his mind,
Back when he married.
Realizing that he'd never find
The true companion that he had in mind,
Like the one he almost had.
He placed a wanted ad
In the local paper.

Cowboy . . .

. . . justice

Cowboy justice
Is just exactly what we need.
Twice as effective
As mercy, now for which they plead.
If I can't get you
To see things the way I do,
Something happens.
I start the process. see it through.
It's what I've been taught to do.
And I'll teach you.

No one tells me
Just what I can or cannot do.
My advisors,
Some, say are keepers of this zoo.
I don't mind if
You think that what they say is real.
I'm in charge here.
At least that's how they make me feel.
That's a part of the deal,
And it came true.

Gotta see it my way.
I'm giving the people what I want.
It's a price I must pay.
We cowboys know how to be gallant.

There's no question
Of right or wrong here to debate.
Disagree though,
You'll be subjected to the hate
That's inflicted
On members of the team like you.
Cause we cowboys
Will never worry if we're few.
Our justice is true.
Make no mistake.

Trials . . .

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/860609810027274056/

. . . and tribulations . . .

Dear Entertainment Booking Person,

Thanks for your response. As I said, we do not post videos of covers with respect to intellectual property issues. I presume you have listened to the audio demo I sent and have seen the videos of some of our original material. As far as 'videos of things', we appear just the same whether performing covers or originals. . . While OHO does not perform any covers by the Crash Test Dummies, Rodeo Clowns, Jason Mraz, Eagles, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Maggie Rogers, OAR, Jake Owen or Lee Brice, we do cover items from the catalogs of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Foster The People, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, Steelers Wheel, Steely Dan, Tom Petty, The Hollies, Paul Simon, Roy Orbison, The Mavericks, The Cure, Yardbirds, David Bowie, Donovan (to name some) - music that, while for the most part precedes SOME of the former, still evokes wide acceptance and appreciation. . . I understand the decision is yours and appreciate your taking the time to discuss this. I would just hope that you remember, you should never underestimate your clientele. . . All the best to you,
