Here . . .

I’ve never been one to follow trends.
I won’t be with the crowd 
When they round the bend.
But I’ll be here until the very end
‘Cause, where it’s at is here with you.

Fancy parties leave me cold and drained,
Discos, crowds and posturing in vain
Only feed some silly appetite unnamed.
Where it’s at is here with you.

I don’t want to see the moon,
Fly to Paris, May or June.
I just want a one-way fare
To anyplace where you’ll be there.

I don’t need gold or precious things,
Fancy clothes or even diamond rings.
I just want the thrill that being with you brings.
‘Cause, where it’s at is here with you.

For fame or power, I have no desire.
I don’t crave acceptance, or to be admired.
I’m just happy sitting with you by the fire.
Where it’s at is here with you.

Rides . . .

https://pixabay.com/images/search/pontiac/

Many things I'd like to hide
From deep within my own dark side.
Much proposed and much was tried
In that horribly menacing slow ride.

Somehow we managed to survive.
A few got hurt but no one died.
It wasn't sad but some still cried
After all undertaking that one slow ride.

They said there'd be joy but we know that they lied.
They said it was nothing, our entreaties denied.     
They said we'd be home soon, just take it in stride,
As they led us through hell in that long, slow ride.

Principles . . .

 

https://www.womansday.com/life/pet-care/g29479823/most-loyal-dog-breeds/

 "Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles."
-Confucius

(from https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house-republicans-tout-infrastructure-funding-voted/story?id=82429064)
". . . In November, Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., was one of 205 House Republicans to vote against the bipartisan, $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill, calling it irresponsible and the "Green New Deal in disguise."
. . . (recently) he took to Twitter to tout funding from the bill he voted against -- highlighting a $70 million expansion of the Port of Virginia in Norfolk -- one of the busiest and deepest ports in the United States. . . 
Shortly after voting against the measure last fall, Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., celebrated its hundreds of millions in funding for a stalled highway project in Birmingham. . . . Last week, Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, touted new funding for a flood control project from the package, which she opposed last year, decrying it at the time as a "so-called infrastructure bill." . . . Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, a freshman lawmaker who also voted against the infrastructure bill, celebrating new "game-changing" funding to upgrade locks along the Upper Mississippi River. . . "

Owning . . .

Confusion . . .

What is this song REALLY saying?


Hey daddy, hey daddy I'm all grown up
Standing at your door just like I done before
You've changed so strange you're all grown up
You wear those heels and hose dressed up in your mama's clothes
You're hip, I'm flipped, your all grown up
When I'm walking talking to ya all the time
Makes me glad all over honey so glad your mine
When you feel my touch by loving you too much
You're right, so nice, you're all grown up
Hey daddy, hey daddy I'm all grown up
You threw away those candy bars started gazing at the stars
Brand new that's you you're all grown up
When your lips so fine start closing in on mine
More thrills, more chills you're all grown up
When I'm walking talking to ya all the time
Makes me glad all over honey so glad your mine
When you feel my touch by loving you too much
You're right, so nice, you're all grown up
Hey daddy, hey daddy I'm all grown up

Relative . . .

https://www.gillette.co.uk/blog/facial-hair-styles/zappa-beard/

(from The Baltimore Sun, May 9, 1980 https://www.afka.net/Articles/1980-05_The_Baltimore_Sun_1.htm)
"Going through life as Frank Zappa when you're not the real Frank Zappa can be very strange. Francis Vincent Zappa, 39, is a world famous guitarist/composer and founder of the now-defunct Mothers of Invention. He will bring his act to the Baltimore Civic Center Sunday -- Mother's Day. Francis Xavier Zappa, 26, works at the Giant Food store on Loch Raven boulevard. He will be moving to Seattle at the end of the month to enroll in scuba diving school. He's one of many Zappa relatives living in the musician's hometown of Baltimore. "It's weird. You tell people you're Frank Zappa and nobody believes it. When I went down to the department of motor vehicles to get my picture license, the guy called my name out over the speaker and everybody turned around and said, ‘Where? Where's he at? Where's Frank Zappa?’ "Frank X. Zappa says having a famous name hasn't caused him any problems ("it's a good way to meet girls, a real conversation piece") though he does have an unlisted phone number. '"When I lived at home people would call the house at all hours of the night and ask for Frank Zappa. My parents would think it was one of my friends and get me out of bed. I'd say ‘hello’ and the guy would say, ‘Hey Frank man, I really dig you in concert.’ A lot of the calls would be from out of town." Frank X. doesn't really know his famed cousin very well. In 1962, the younger Frank's dad, Joe Zappa, moved the family to California to open a restaurant ("Eat More") with his late brother, Francis Vincent Zappa, Sr. Frank X. was only 8 years old. (Joe and his family returned to Baltimore shortly thereafter.) "The last time I talked to him was when he played the Civic Center in 1975. I asked him if he really enjoyed all the music he put out, and I kind of got the feeling that he didn't. "I'm not going to the show Sunday. I wouldn't feel right bugging him for tickets when we never talk any other time. His music is too spacey for me. When it comes to free tickets, I'd rather have Bob Seger for a cousin." Frank X's final statement about the celebrated branch of his family tree was, "I'm going to be famous one day, too. Just give me some time."
