Random Thoughts or Whatever

States have official mottos, and flowers, and seals, and I think birds. Seems they all should have an official song, doesn't it?

I absolutely agree.

Now, of course "Sweet Home Alabama" is not Alabama's official song, and I never said it was. I just used that as an example of why the the ABBA song might have been in the guy's avatar/sig line

Alabama's official state song;

For Mississippi I suggest Jesse Winchester's 'Mississippi You're on My Mind'.

Hard to think of how the state of Georgia could have done any better, than they have with Ray Charles.

Wasn't the Ray Charles song about a woman.

Seems like there was a move in Alabama some 12 or 15 years ago, while I was still living there, to make “Stars Fell On Alabama” sung by Jimmy Buffett the state song. Don’t remember if that was successful.

That was my understanding too.

Came across a quote in the local "Coffee News" handout, and it sorta caught my eye:

"Don't feel stupid if you don't like what everyone else...pretends to love. ~Emma Watson

Damn good advice. I never have done that. I have no problem telling people that I don't like something that's popular no matter what it is. I'm pretty sure most AKers know that I detest ketchup, records and Led Zeppelin. We all have different tastes.

Hmmmmmmm!?

Never tasted a "record"! You'll have to share this "eating" event, SjJ.

That was my understanding too.

It's about a woman using the state geography as a metaphor.

QUOTE
Written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell, Georgia On My Mind became a major hit in 1960, reaching the number one spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 with Ray Charles' recording.

19 years later, it became the official state song, as the Georgia General Assembly publicly apologized to Charles for a conflict over a civil rights issue.

For Jazzy---

On my way to the pool each morning I pass this fountain in the meditation garden. Every few days. there is this tiny figure sitting on the edge of the fountain. The next day, it is gone. I assume the gardeners remove it as they are judicious about keeping order in the park. The a few days later, or maybe the next day, a new figure is back in place on the edge of the fountain.

I have a feeling that the industry and AI will find out.

More likely a mental tolerance limit, I would think !
My intolerance began many decades back starting with TV, and moved into internet, as I started becoming active on the internet in the early 2000s.
