Four Walls @FourWalls (73191) • United States 8h

From the silliness of yesterday’s tune we turn to some seriously great soul music for today’s look at the songs from 1965. These are the things we had 60 years ago. Kids, if you wonder why “old people” hate your music,...

1960 Songs: Little Bitty Pretty One

Four Walls @FourWalls (73191) • United States 8h

I’m coasting downhill on an old-folks tricycle with no brakes toward the age of 65. In honor of that, I’m celebrating with a look at songs from the year I was born. We had one to dance to from 1965, and why should...

I currently have 14 candles in my living room, including the one pictured. Some of you guys know I get free items in exchange for honest reviews from a few sites (per Mylot rules I won’t mention names). And believe me, they are...

1960 Songs: Just One Time

Four Walls @FourWalls (73191) • United States 7 Apr

Oh, well, back to the country music. Relax, only one of the two songs I’ll feature today is country. So if you don’t like country music (looking toward Ohio ) run over to the 1965 song! Happy 65th...

1965 Songs: I’m Henry the Eighth, I Am

Four Walls @FourWalls (73191) • United States 7 Apr

Along with the celebration of songs that, like me, are turning 65 this year, I’m looking back 60 years to the songs from 1965. There’s been everything already in the list, and it’s only a week old! Let’s have a little levity...

The REASON You Charge a 29% Tariff on an Island with No Exports, Explained

Jim Bauer @porwest (98808) • United States 7 Apr

Why would the United States impose a 29% tariff on an island of 2,100 people with no exports? I'm talking, of course, about Norfolk Island, caught between New Zealand and Australia, that has become a discussion topic around...

1965 Songs: Do You Believe in Magic

Four Walls @FourWalls (73191) • United States 4 Apr

And the crowd goes wild, because there’s no country music today! No, when you think of songs from 60 years ago, this is more along the lines of what you think of. So back to 1965 for today’s hit. [b]Do You Believe...

Please. Anyone pro-tariff needs (redacted in the interests of maintaining an account here). And I mean that with all my little black heart. My opinion is Trump supporters are traitors to America and they will likely burn when he...

NJ Chicaa What would 2 X chromosomes have to do with intelligence? Yes our 23rd pair of chromosomes are our sex chromosomes but the X chromosome has thousands of genes that have NOTHING to do with biological sex. In fact it has nothing to do with it. It is the presence...
