I’m going to play “Devil’s Advocate” on this one……

Yes, this accident happened to and/or because of someone that happened to be an “illegal immigrant” but it very well could have been caused by an inexperienced 18 year old American that was texting , a middle age American distracted because they were on their telephone OR a senior American experiencing a major health crisis. The man involved in this incident was illegally using an expired license belonging to a family member (this scenario could also fit a birthright citizen), right?

The truck/car fatality that I recall from months ago involved an illegal who quickly acquired his CDL license on the west coast who chose to use the (I don’t know if there’s a specific name) access between roads that is designated police and emergency vehicles. Yes, that truck driver was using that access way to make an illegal left turn with his 18 wheeler and turned in front of a passenger vehicle. Perhaps I rely too much on YouTube and television, in my mind’s eye, driving looks like a “free-for-all” in many countries.

Marvin Gaye with Tammy Terrell, AIN’T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH

Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley LOW
Ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far (don't worry, baby)
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
Cause baby there

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley LOW enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you you could always count on me, darling
From that day on, I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way, some how
Cause baby there

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley LOW enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Oh no, darling

No wind, no rain
Nor winter's cold
Can't stop me baby

No no baby

Cause you are my goal

If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me

Oh baby!

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can

Don't you know that there...

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley LOW enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Don't you know that there...

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley LOW enough
Ain't no river wide enough
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley LOW enough

Thank you, I’m experiencing brain farts more frequently!

My first thought.

Nice choice!

I didn’t think of this tune but I sure do ❤️ it! Thanks for posting it!

Yes, I like scrolling through YouTube searching for interesting tutorials on cooking. This particular video gobsmacked me, it’s about making fudge and the base ingredient is VELVEETA CHEESE! There is so much wrong with this recipe however I watched the video anyway!

I hear you, my texting ability depends solely on my right index finger. My point being that PERHAPS if you title it, providing that the title or synapsis is of interest to others, you would/should get reactions ie additional comments.

I admit, although I have an interest in cars, I really don’t care about President Trump’s car collection. Now the following article regarding the possibility of George Strait replacing Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl halftime show was of interest to me!

Green Day, WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so FAST
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

Badfinger, COME AND GET IT

But you better hurry cause it's going FAST

If you want it, here it is come and get it,

But you better hurry cause it's going FAST
You'd better hurry cause it's going FAST
You'd better hurry cause it's going FAST

Really? When have you ever listened to or posted an Eagles tune? Your go to’s are ABBA, Elvis, that French woman whose name escapes me and quite often, you sprinkle in these guys;


The Beach Boys, KOKOMO

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby why don't we go
Jamaica

Off the Florida Keys
There's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go
To get away from it all
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there FAST
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down in Kokomo

Martinique, that Montserrat mystique

We'll put out to sea
And we'll perfect our chemistry
By and by we'll defy
A little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there FAST
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down in Kokomo

Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go to get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there FAST
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna take you down to

Although I am not familiar with this group or song, you did not disappoint!

Another damn good song!

Damn good song!

Apparently you can now lease OR purchase by cash OR finance a Hyundai! That is freakin’ wild!

Barbra Streisand, THE WAY WE WERE

MEM’RIES light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored MEMORIES of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

MEM’RIES may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember the way we were
The way we were

Nice try, cenozoic!

That quite alright, I’m just surprised that BLONDIE didn’t help you out!

What in the heck is going on in our cities?

J. Geils Band, CENTERFOLD

Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat

She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The MEMORY of my angel
Could never cause me pain

Years go by, I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between

My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
(Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold (wooh)
My MEMORY has just been sold
(Angel is the centerfold)

Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy, I turned away
Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by

Those soft, fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
To see her in that negligйe
Is really just too much

My blood runs cold
Yeah, my MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
(Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold (oh yeah)
(Angel is the centerfold)

(Na, na, na...)

Yeah, now listen
It's okay, I understand
This ain't no Never-Never Land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on

Take your car, yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it

My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
(Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold (wooh)
My MEMORY has just been sold
(My angel is the centerfold)

(Na, na, na...)

Alright, alright
1, 2, 3, 4

(Na, na, na...)

My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

My blood runs cold, oh yeah
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

My father was an only child, my mother was the oldest of 3 who had 3 children (my 2 sisters and myself).

What color(s) would you like?

The world’s smallest personal jet with its own built in parachute that when engaged, will save all of the passengers! Gee, where can I run out and get one!?

Do you think the “happy dances” are AI generated? Again, it’s sad that our children attempt to emulate the over paid, egotistical sports figures!

The Romantics, TALKING IN YOUR SLEEP

When you close your eyes and you go to sleep
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things that you're dreaming about
When you open up your heart and the truth comes out

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep

When I hold you in my arms at night
Don't you know you're sleeping in the spotlight
And all your dreams that you keep inside
You're telling me the secrets that you just can't hide

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep

When you close your eyes and you fall asleep
Everything about you is a mystery

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep

Bonnie Raitt, SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
People are TALKIN', TALKIN' 'bout people,
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it.
They think we're lovers kept under cover,
I just ignore it but they keep sayin' we...
Laugh just a little too loud,
Stand just a little too close,
We stare just a little too long.
Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'.

Let's give 'em somethin' to TALK about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to TALK about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to TALK about
How about love?

I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You act so nervous, could you be fallin' for me?
It took the rumor to make me wonder,
Now I'm convinced that I'm goin' under.
Thinkin' 'bout you every day,
Dreamin' 'bout you every night.
I'm hopin' that you feel the same way,
Now that we know it, let's really show it darlin'.

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery to figure out
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
How about love?

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about babe,
A little mystery to figure out.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about,
How about love? Ooh...
Listen to 'em baby
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery won't hurt 'em
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk
How about our love, love, love, love
Whoowhoo mmmm hey oohh whoowhoo
About love, love, love, love
How about they talk about it? uh huh
TALK about love........

Music is beautiful and indeed is a “language” that everyone understands! Thank you for your profound post, that is the precise reason for this thread!

It is SO SAD that our little one’s role models are of questionable character and often paid multi millions. Just my opinion.

The Mamas and The Papas, DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE

While I'm far away from you, my baby,
I know it's hard for you, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn -

Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
WHISPER a little prayer for me my baby.
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love.

Love can never be exactly like we want it to be.
I could be satisfied knowing you love me.
There's one thing I want you to do especially for me -
And it's something that everybody needs.

While I'm far away from you, my baby,
WHISPER a little prayer for me, my baby,

Then it's something that everybody needs...

Each night before you go to bed, my baby,

R.E.M., LOSING MY RELIGION

Oh life, it's bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every WHISPER
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
Consider this, the hint of the century
Consider this, the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream

Broken down by different families? YIKES! I must admit that I am a bit envious of people with lBIG families. Yep, I grew up never having cousins …..

Thank you (and I do hope it will be a good day) because it was a day that did not go as planned, yesterday!

I just woke up.

If you ever wondered how many traffic cones does it take to stop a bullet, wonder no more……

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

(Ten)
Ground Control
(Nine)
To Major Tom
(Eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown
(Five)
Engines on
(Four, three, two)
Check ignition
(One)
And may God's love
(Lift-off)
Be with you

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm PAST one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
She knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you he—

Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

U2, I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR

I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I'm STILL running

You broke the bonds and you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe it

But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
