Random Thoughts or Whatever

Didn't look right, should have spellchecked him.
Still hard to believe he got paid for that inane (but effective) minimalist earworm.

It's based on the standard 12-bar blues, I/IV/V chords. We make our money where we can... and the money we make from less-than-challenging work allows us to create art elsewhere... ;)

Another musical minimal, the organ player on Billy Swan's "I can help".

Just the notes needed, at the right time. Nothing else was necessary.


BTW: I had completely forgotten about that song. I really liked it, as a kid. Thanks for bringing that up!

Bureau of Justice Statistics data show that of the more than 50,000 people released from federal prisons in 2010, a staggering 33% found no employment at all over four years post-release, and at any given time, no more than 40% of the cohort was employed. And those formerly incarcerated people who succeeded in finding work earned $.84 for every $1 the average worker earns ($28,851 a year).
 
A record number of Americans are now living alone. In 1940, 8% of all households were solo households, according to U.S. Census data. 2. By 2022, the share of solo households more than tripled to an estimated 29%.
 
In 1981, Joseph Heller was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome leaving him paralyzed for two years, unable to stand or write. Shortly before the diagnosis, Heller had missed a $90 premium payment on his health insurance, which was promptly canceled. His lengthy recovery drained his bank account, leaving the author of three best-sellers, Catch-22, Something Happened and Gold as Gold, deeply in debt. This kind of particular something can happen to anyone, but only in America.
 
How Thomas Friedman opened his NYT column on Wednesday: “Whenever people ask me what I do for a living…”

Presumably these are the same people who have been reading him for 25 years.
 
Since American famous-types are being featured; headr on the radio (and it's gotta be true) that one present songster in the US of A has managed to "boost the Fed Reserve"

And with 4 songs in the Top 10, this may have happened.


Ya think? :bigok:
