Again, as I am inclined to do, 'Check or Carry' is piano improvisation on the the dominant chord pattern from 'Baggage', from the new album 'Grains'.  Since 'baggage' can refer to emotional as well as physical phenomena, we can make the choice between checking or continuing to carry an unnecessary burden?

Crime Is . . .

. . . as crime does

https://www.vecteezy.com

(From https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2022/08/13/michelle-goldberg-absurd/)

" . . . He is reportedly motivated to run for president again in part because the office will protect him from prosecution. If we don’t want the presidency to license crime sprees, we should allow presidents to be indicted, not accept some dubious norm that ex-presidents shouldn’t be. . . Trump’s most inflamed fans might act out in horrifying ways; many are heavily armed and speak lustily about civil war. To let this dictate the workings of justice is to accept an insurrectionists’ veto. The far right is constantly threatening violence if it doesn’t get its way. Does anyone truly believe that giving in to its blackmail will make it less aggressive? . . . It was Trump himself who signed a law making the removal and retention of classified documents a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. Those who think that it would be too socially disruptive to apply such a statute to him should specify which laws they believe the former president is and is not obliged to obey. . . The only relevant question is whether he committed a crime, not what crimes his devotees might commit if he’s held to account. . ."

". . . we’re certainly not Trump supporters. But in today’s partisan world, it would be easy to fall into the trap of cheering on the FBI’s actions, without taking a step back to look at the bigger picture. If Trump goes to jail, it opens the door for every lying, corrupt, perverted piece of shit to go to jail too. Is that what we want?. . . "

The stars lay in a blanket above.

A gentle breeze blowing in from the sea.

The last light flickers from one lonely candle.

Never before was a night half as perfect

For you and me.

But there was a party last night. 

Yes there was a party nextdoor,

‘Cause there’s a boy sleeping on the back porch.

You would have noticed a pin drop that evening.

The peace and calm when romance fills the air.

Ambience oozing from Coltrane and Hartman.

And barely twenty feet away, we’d no clue

What was happening there.

No blaring rock and roll.

No bottles on the walk.

No screaming, shouting and no fight.

Nobody called the law.

No sirens in the night.

Just one young man, stretched out on a chaise,

Sleeping it off.

Occasions such as this should be savored.

The combination of circumstance rare.

You may just be the true love that I’ve searched for.

I think though, that the folks in the house that’s next door 

Just don’t care.

For The Ride

Think . . .

https://philamuseum.org/collection/object/103370

For some reason, I periodically write a lyric that is intentionally trite. It's fun. It's paying respectful homage to the simple, tin-pan alley-type of swooning love songs from the past. McCartney surrendered to the feeling in lots of his songs. I think that many of the biggest pop music hits involve the topic of 'love' (romantic love) and incorporate some 'hokey' language because when you're dumbstruck by love, you feel and can many times act hokey, trite and even silly. It's all part of life and just another of those crazy things 

that make us human. (Starting to sound like another song.)

Note: This song, entitled 'Thinking,' is the reason you see an image of 'The Thinker' attached to the post.
