A woman I know is a flight instructor. She married another flight instructor, they bought a Piper J-3 Cub and set off to visit all 48 contiguous states. In the book she wrote about their experiences, she mentioned that this song was playing in her head as they flew over the New Jersey Turnpike.
No, not even “knave” covers this one…
(We’re talking Top-Tier Evil!)
SURPRISE!!
No doubt all those liberal “Biden” fans should be more than proud of their judgment and acumen…but if they have any doubts (IF!), they can ALWAYS blame Trump and Bibi!!…and they will….

I liked the song. I know it well but hadn’t heard it in ages. I was amused by the two ladies doing the unison hair flip. It didn’t look rehearsed or even intended, but maybe their peripheral vision is very good.
Apropos of nothing other than the fact that it tickles me and I keep coming back to it, here is Rebecca Roudman again.
She’s playing both the key parts of the lead guitar and the vocal tracks. I like the fluid pitch with the pitch bending, glissando, and excessive vibrato sparingly used. Her fast section is impressive, but not as good as a good lead guitarist.
I switched on Netflix last night and their show The Crown popped up. “Is there a new season?” I thought. Duh. The queen died. Apparently, the show has zoomed up to the top of the viewing stats.
It’s been a while, but I thought Claire Foy did a fabulous job playing the young Elizabeth. Obviously, she’s got plenty of lines and dialog, but I was amazed by a number of critical moments within critical scenes where the crux was delivered not with a line but just an expression from Claire Foy. I may re-watch season 1.
On what was our yearly week long vacation to the Outer Banks from CT, the only way to really get there was on the NJTP. That song always came into my head as we made our way, usually slowly, south. Always a relief to cross the Delaware Mem. Bridge.
Question for Neo and other commenters–
I’ve had “connection timed out” error messages five times in the past few minutes (including the first attempt to post this comment). Is anyone else having problems with the site?

Thanks for the corroboration. I’ve had a few more time-outs since I first asked about it, and I’ve done the usual check-other-websites routine to make sure the problem isn’t on my end. This is the only site I’m having trouble reaching.
Ah, my favorite cover band. This was recorded 12 years ago. The girls went to college, the guys got old– then a few years ago they got back together in the studio to turn out some great music.
Here’s another S&G song, A Hazy Shade of Winter. Great harmonies.
They do especially good job on a variety of CSNY songs. The video goes into Suite: Judy Blue Eyes
But (cheap-shots aside) KNOW WELL that what’s happening now is NO DISTRACTION.
It’s the real thing.
The full monte.
Sept. 1, 1939. (Or perhaps April 12, 1861)
It is, as Tucker Carlson has declared, THE FULL-BLOWN PURGE purge of “AMERICA’s political enemies” (i.e., anyone “Biden” deems as political enemies) by “Biden” and his America-loving, UNITY-seeking, “law-respecting” enforcers.
(…”law-respecting” is in scare quotes because at the moment—and for the foreseeable future—“Biden” IS the law.)
The next step?
Anyone’s guess.
Probably would like to pretend that it’s not as terrible as it is.
(In fact it’s more than terrible…and it’s bound to get far worse.)
Finally… But it doesn’t matter anymore.
No one will be held accountable…and the information—ALL CONTRARIAN information (IOW, any and all TRUTH that “Biden” does not want you to know)—will likely disappear down the rabbit hole.
Oops. Got the wrong song. (Was thinking of “American Tune”.)
Apologies….
I haven’t a clue why the site is slow today for some people. It’s not all that slow for me, at least not so far. Sometimes the problem is some temporary thing with the server, and it gets better pretty quickly. Hope that’s what’s going on now. Let me know if you continue to have problems in a few hours.
I’ve had problems off and on for a few days, and the site loaded a bit slowly just now.
This was the very first time that Foxes and Fossils ever performed. The girls are in high school. They’d only practiced a few times.
I certainly hope that a professionally produced record in a studio with multiple takes and splices, etc. by Simon and Garfunkel would sound better than a YouTube video of a live performance at a pizza joint by a group performing for the first time.
This is disgusting. No morally decent person can support this.
It was a couple hours ago, but I was unable to connect to the server. I think my browser timed out and gave up. It only happened once and is only moderately slow now.
Stan,
re: Foxes and Fossils. After the girls graduated, they’ve gone to just studio productions, and with covid often with the performers in different rooms or cities.
But their take on the CSNY song Suite: Judy Blue Eyes during that same performance of America is spectacular, even with the less than ideal setting.
They’ve recorded several CSN and CSNY songs– well suited to their style.
By the way, here’s how the state will use anything you say in public against you.
This is a story of Bill and Ted and their most excellent adventure in the Capitol. Two stoners looking to overturn an election– well maybe obstruct the process– ok, ok just kick some behinds.
It’s a sad tale of what passes for insurrectionists nowadays. A century ago any self respecting anarchist would have kick them to the curb.
right off the back, they leave out the fact the capital police led them in, so how halal is this indictment,
By the way, I had to call the host about a different issue today, and there was a recorded message that some sites were having troubles and they were working on it. That may be the source of today’s slowness in loading.

Jumping to another subject (2020 election) – this is the only place I’ve seen this revelation.
Too detailed to condense, and some fairly serious geek stuff (although well explained), but as usual our favorite law enforcement agency has no interest in enforcing some particular laws.
https://cognitivecarbon.substack.com/p/mongodb-what-is-it-and-how-did-it
“MongoDB: What is it, and how did it come into play as part of the shocking disclosure that took place at “The Pit”?
On August 13, 2022, Catherine Englebrecht and Gregg Phillips described what they found last year on an unsecured server in China: personal information for 1.8 million US election workers…and more”
Since Gregg and his team were able to “walk in the front door” because the doors and windows weren’t locked, it stands to reason that China’s own cybersecurity teams may have done so as well…and therefore the CCP could have, and likely did, come into possession of this same US poll worker data.
What else might have been on those servers? Could it have included voter registration data? What might the CCP have done with this data? Could they have used it to bribe or blackmail poll workers because they had all of their details, including phone numbers?
Could they have used it to inject their own plants as poll workers? Could they have used the information about blueprints and election machine locations to make hacking into wireless network connected election machines easier, since they knew exactly where to target their efforts?
We can’t know all these details at this point. But there is certainly reason to suspect that they could, and did, use this information to their own advantage.
What was particularly disturbing was that, when Gregg and Catherine discovered all of this, they tried to do the right thing and get the FBI involved. But because of the politicization of so many Federal agencies, not only was their attempt to inform and involve the FBI rebuffed, but the FBI then attempted to turn things around and make Gregg or his team look like bad guys for having downloaded (from an unsecured server) and come into possession of this dataset of 1.8 Million US poll workers.
Gregg basically did the equivalent of picking up an abandoned hard drive of data left lying openly on the ground in China, and the FBI wants to accuse him for having it in his possession, because of what was found on the drive!
They’re not interested in seeing if that data was misused to hijack our elections by China? Isn’t foreign interference in US elections an act of war?
It remains to be seen in how many other instances data spills like this were taken advantage of by China; and it will remain to be seen if there is any direct evidence that data of this type was used to alter the election outcome, above and beyond what was already documented to have occurred in the ‘2000 Mules’ ballot stuffing cases.
We’re not at the end of this investigation into election fraud; we’re simply at the end of the beginning. The Pit was a turning point: a time for Gregg and Catherine to engage a wider community of researchers and journalists into probing the whole spectrum of election integrity issues and engaging the citizenry in ways they need to be—but haven’t yet been—involved.
Without trustworthy elections, our Republic is at risk of being pulled down by those who prefer communism and socialism. We won’t stand idly by. All Americans must find a way to get more involved in the election process; become engaged and involved in protecting and securing our Republic.
I explored some of Cognitive Carbon’s archive (reading all the interesting articles would keep me up until dawn), and his newest post is a follow-up to the one I just linked about MongoDB.
It occurred to me that the Personally Identifiable Information, or PII, that was discovered in the data spill in China might be linkable in some way to the anonymized cell phone pings that Gregg was using in 2000 Mules. That would allow prosecutors to more easily press charges against the Mules and handlers who were involved in trafficking, because their identities would be more or less unmasked.
One wonders: is this perhaps the real reason the FBI and DOJ want to crack down on Gregg for discovering the data spill in China? To hamstring him from getting to the truth? Were some of the same poll workers whose data appeared on that server—also involved as ballot trafficking mules? It is certainly plausible.
I have also learned a new idiom: Nelsonian Knowledge
which is the virtual forbidden knowledge, which betrays it’s possession through one’s exacting efforts to avoid it in the first place. [and] involves a keen prowess in knowing what to not-know, where to not-look, and how not-to-look at it.
On the morning of 2 April 1801, Nelson began to advance into Copenhagen harbour. The battle began badly for the British, with HMS Agamemnon, Bellona and Russell running aground, and the rest of the fleet encountering heavier fire from the Danish shore batteries than had been anticipated. Sir Hyde Parker sent the signal for Nelson to withdraw, reasoning:
I will make the signal for recall for Nelson’s sake. If he is in a condition to continue the action he will disregard it; if he is not, it will be an excuse for his retreat and no blame can be attached to him.
Nelson, directing action aboard HMS Elephant, was informed of the signal by the signal lieutenant, Frederick Langford, but angrily responded: “I told you to look out on the Danish commodore and let me know when he surrendered. Keep your eyes fixed on him.” He then turned to his flag captain, Thomas Foley, and said “You know, Foley, I have only one eye. I have a right to be blind sometimes.” He raised the telescope to his blind eye, and said “I really do not see the signal.”
The battle lasted three hours, leaving both Danish and British fleets heavily damaged. At length, Nelson dispatched a letter to the Danish commander, Crown Prince Frederick, calling for a truce, which the Prince accepted
A synonymous idiom is, of course, “turning a blind eye” to something.
“America” is a perfect S&G song and a perfect 1968 song. I remember it vividly. It’s trite to say but a lot of us were looking for America back then.
According to wiki, the song was released on April 3, 1968 — the day before Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Then, two months later on June, 6, 1968, RFK was shot in a hotel kitchen after winning the California Democratic primary.
Which is not to make too much of the dates, but that was a jam-packed time too.
Though I wish more people on the left were looking for America today, rather than looking to crush anyone who disagrees with them.
Brian E.
Yes.
Note — Tim Purcell (lead singer on this song) was my classmate (’78) and teammate at Davidson on the football and baseball team. I am thoroughly and completely biased. I’m not even going to pretend to be objective about F&F. His wife also went to Davidson. She was a corporate lawyer with Coke in Atlanta.
Neo — Tim’s idea to start the group came about from his interaction with his daughter and this song, “America”. It was during the depth of the financial crisis. Tim’s group (which included the two other guys in the video) had suffered through a disastrous holiday season that winter. Financial worries had caused people to cancel a lot of their gigs.
Tim was kind of down and playing around on his guitar with this song. He asked his daughter (Sammie is to his left) if she’d heard it. She hadn’t. He went over it with her and they tried it. He says he was stunned how good it sounded. In an interview in an Atlanta magazine he says he’d always wanted to be part of a vocal group like this. He mentioned the other girl who sang in their church high school choir. (You can find video of her singing in a summer VBS production the summer before. She’s really good.) They ran into her a few days later at a fast food place (CFA IIRC which was started near their home). He asked. She thought “Why not?”. And they practiced a couple of times. And realized it really worked.
Just a fun note. If you believe that you can get a sense of a person’s personality from a look or a pic, check out Tim’s grin while clapping starting at the 2:30 mark on this video of this cover of Adele. When I saw it the first time I had to laugh. Yep, that grin is Tim. Even forty years later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvK8pDK6IQU
