The JD Salinger documentary mentioned the novels he left behind. At least some of them were supposed to be released by now.

Having said/read/been fed all this…THERE IS NO FREAKIN’ WAY that anyone could POSSIBLY CLAIM that the Democrats stole the 2020 election.

(OTOH, one COULD INDEED SAY that they “Fortified” them(!)… But how the pluperfect could one possibly KNOW what “Fortified” is supposed to mean??
And for an answer to this vital—and fascinating—question, we are now joined by our Roving Language Correspondent, the Honourable Humpty Dumpty…still the world’s leading authority on the subject…even if he’s just a shell of his old self (heh, heh, ahem…)…

I’m not an expert in such things, BUT I figger that since “Biden” lies about EVERYTHING, and since “he” is most certainly not ashamed about lying BIG, then there are bound to be certain, um—let’s call them—discrepancies between “Biden”-World/”Biden”-Speak and reality.

This being the case, we SHOULD EXPECT that things are “really, really odd”.
To expect otherwise would, in fact, be “really, really odd”…. (As they say, “Who ya’ gonna believe? The politicians, and their pathetic Media poodles, or yer own lyin’ eyes??”)

Here’s an article (or two) that might offer some “assistance” (to those who are more adept at understanding economic matters than I am)…

Re: Odd movie to jazz standard

Rufus, DNW:

I think of “My Foolish Heart” (1949), a pretty mediocre adaptation of a J.D. Salinger story, which soured Salinger forever on allowing another Hollywood film based on his work.

However, the title song became a jazz standard. My favorite cover is, of course, Bill Evans’:

LOL Truth be told I couldn’t make the song out and kept trying to catch a couple bars of melody. Eventually I caught two and got “These Foolish Things” out of my head, and then with the help of Connie Francis on YouTube was finally able to say, Oh! That ….song.

We were in a bistro on Kercheval a couple years back and I was feeding the keyboardist pianist American Songbook suggestions and a twenty and during a break he came by and chatted. He brought up his relationship with Bill Evans and I nodded knowingly, picturing Errol Garner or someone I saw on tv as a kid, in my head.

But it worked out. He was so happy not to play Elton John, Paul Anka, and Neil Sedaka shit that I probably didn’t have to tip him. Ha

Evans was amazing in his prime.

My generally preferred version – giving credit of course to the enjoyable studio musician type straight covers – is the John Coltrane in Germany 1960 version. Which, you are familiar with and I have mentioned too many times before.

Your remark marveling at the fact of an oddball historical melodrama producing a great jazz standard, has been repeated by many of us. Then of course there is Stella by Starlight too, from a picture about a haunted house.

But the one that takes the cake so to speak, has to be I’ll Remember April. I could not believe what I was seeing on the YouTube snippet. An Abbot and Costello movie? And what is that a string of cowboys down in the valley riding slowly in the dark?

Well, not cowboys exactly. But still ….
