I got suckered into a long PBS commentary on that song "We keep on waiting (WAY-TING) on the world to change" as a reflection of the new generation (millenials?) view on world events.

Oh wow, I remember being irked by that song when it was radio popular.

I'd hear it in waiting rooms, some public stores. Fortunately not much else.

Ugh.

I think the same guy had "slow dancing in a burning building", or some such?

There is not anything popular when I was a kid that I liked then, and I probably still don't like much of it now.

^me too. It was not one of my favorites.

Favorite songs, you say:

[greglepore]

Anything on American Band by the Drive by Truckers, but particularly "What it Means" and "Ramon Casiano"

How about an older song that is as still relevant today as when it was first out.
Barry Maguire: Eve of Destruction. Listen to the lyrics again .Sums up alot of
today's issues.

Trouble coming every day. Mother's of invention. Still relevant.

I'm afraid of Americans. David Bowie o inch nails

Yea, my post count is silly. I have three computers here in my home office. I will start one on a task with a mapping or aerial photo task that takes it hours, but needs to be monitored. I then fire up one of the other computers to keep me entertained on PPOT.

The VAST majority of the posts are in the random pictures thread. No typing, just photos. A bunch are in the Stijn thread, and lots in the Joke thread.

If you eliminate just those three threads, I have a fairly normal post count. (Over 16,600 in Stijn thread, and 15,900 in Random pics)

The advantage of no boss looking over my shoulder, and many hours sitting in front of a computer waiting for it to finish a task so I can start it on the next step.
